If they can't do melee scenes properly, maybe they should change his fighting style to be more ranged-heavy. To me, Arrow is about... arrows. Like this one: Have Diggle and Laurel in melee role and Ollie and Thea support them from range with fancy arrows that disable, confuse, stun, etc.

Like this one: I'd have to say that's what irritates me the most about the Arrow. They took a character who's forte is fighting at range, and made him a kung-fu god.

I see a bit of an uproar over the dropped Mayoral plot and the people griping seem to think Ollie was mayor of Star City for a really long time when it was really like 15 issues (4 of which were a flashback story arc). Why do people get so attached to one tiny piece of a character's history?

Tequila Ranger posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99MH4uSypzI This one? Yep. Pretty sure it was that one. Shorter than I remembered. And I also miss those days. The first time Ollie just straight out killed a criminal I was like "gently caress. Ok. This isn't going to be like Smallville at all." Welp. I mean not that Arrow is as bad as Smallville, ever, but I don't remember Ollicity-type poo poo in the first season. I love that double or triple head-into-the-wall at the end.

Why do people get so attached to one tiny piece of a character's history? I think many of us just actually want to see him juggle being Mayor and the Green Arrow at the same time. But also I think people latch onto the concept, because just in general, the idea of a vigilante also being a public official is a pretty interesting one.

Here's some fighting scenes from a children's show that are generally better than what we usually get in Arrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEzQ1t7unvU Starting iZombie!

That is a 28 minute video that doesn't have a single punch or kick landing in it. Impressive.

Okay, giving Arrow another try becuase this episode was said not to be too bad, but yes lets give the super hacker computer access, yup, great work. Though the Harry Potter conversation was pretty amusing. Okay, Curtis stuff is pretty excellent, and I'm liking the girls being trapped. Brie Larvel is just terrible name, even by a DC comics naming level. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Apr 4, 2016 |

Clearly without supervision. Also that that people wouldn't realize that the date was changed. I'm pretty sure Thea could have kicked her rear end gun or no gun.

Kevin Mitnick got that order during his second supervised release from prison, though he eventually had it overturned in court. Kevin Poulsen and Chris Lamprecht did as well, it's not unheard of for severe enough hacking/computer crime offenses. McSpanky fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Apr 4, 2016 |

"Meanwhile" is one of the words I hate seeing most in episode descriptions. If you start to look for it you'll see just how often it gets used for TV. Most shows shouldn't have their casts split up doing different things, this isn't Friends.

Season 5 has Felicity on the Island during all the flashbacks and ends with her being sent back to Starling city with amnesia of her time there.

Hope y'all like watching Mr. Terrific's perfectly happy domestic relationship fall apart as he continually lies more and more to his man! That was sarcasm, no one would enjoy that and yet we're going to have to watch it anyway.
