Arrow Ollie had touches of that at the beginning, straight up murdering slum lords and pay day loan store owners.

Except he didn't. He murdered their bodyguards and then let them live as long as they changed their ways/he was able to Robin Hood the money back to the needy.

I thought he killed at least one slum lord, but I could be mis-remembering, I haven't watched any of season 1 since they first aired.

The only one I remember that he may have killed was the German arms dealer. Deadshot offed one of the people on the list.

According to Latino Review, Marvel is speaking to Jason Statham to play Bullseye in Daredevil Season 2. They also say that Elektra, Mr. Fear and Mysterio will all make an appearance.

Mysterio? Finally. He should have been the villain of the third Raimi Spider-Man, played by Bruce Campbell.

He can do everything, audio, smell, phantasmagoria. He had a really good arc where he was messing with Daredevil.

What does a Greek person look like? I can only really imagine Greek men, and there all humongous in stature, deep voice and own restaurants, they are always wearing an apron. Are Greek women the same? Maybe Nikki Blonsky?

Greeks don't have a "look" really. It's the principle of the thing...

Sofia Boutella is pretty much greek looking i spose.. she's good at dancing. That's a huge plus... Attitude switched.

She's got my vote. Probably my favorite person from Kingsmen, even next to Samuel L Jackson with a lisp.

The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Kinda. I mean they had a chance to get rid of an Asian stereotype and replace it with an interesting Asian character. Instead of going "I literally can't write a sentence of dialog for an Asian that isn't probably racist, so the character is white now." It is kind of lazy. But Tilda Swinton is awesome, so at least there is that.

No, Wonder Woman is loosely based on bondage fetishism. The Greek stuff came later.

They should put Swinton in the old man make-up they used for Lo-Pan and still write the part as a terrible Asian stereotype.

Edit: Also, it's the Ancient One, not the Old One.
