2nd episode, still enjoying the show! I hope Oliver can get some sort of mask because it would look more rad than make-up. Of course, it removes a lot of emoting but hey. I want to say that writing-wise, the show is pretty well balanced. You do not get that type of show without Smallville, which was often horribly balanced (here are the stories of two of the most important people in this fictional world! also another teenage girl!) but everything that happens here works.

To be honest, I prefer him without mask. Makes it easier to read his face and it is a superhero show, if Superman could disguise himself successfully as Clark Kent, then Olly can work with just the make-up. But it would be cool to see him wearing the mask on occasion, when they can find good reasons for him to do so. It acting as a gas mask or something?

He sprays his face with green paint but I don't think that really counts as a "mask".

He doesn't wear a mask because nobody is supposed to get close enough to see his face in the first place.

The spray paint actually makes a better mask, you don't have to spirit gum something to your face and worry about it fall off.

What with Man of Steel being loving garbage and them talking about rebooting Batman less than a year after the Nolan trilogy wrapped up, DC is handling this crossover stuff exactly the wrong way. I don't want Arrow to get dragged down like that.

It always weirds me out when I see actors playing adult characters that are younger than I am. Emily Bett Rickards was born in 1991.

Hollis posted:I don't think their incorporating Arrow into the DC film universe. WB is working with multiple networks. It's not like ABC where Disney owns ABC so it has no problem cross pollinating so to speak. You do know what the "W" in "CW" stands for, right? Unless you meant "DC" in which case the only other network I can think of that shows their content is Cartoon Network, and that's just strictly animated stuff. Even then I'm pretty sure those fall under the WB banner as well, just not on WB's station. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Oct 20, 2013 |

(and totally the model for Felicity on Arrow) but she was better than Lana because her stories went along with Clark's--solving plots and superhero stuff (Allison Mack was also one of the show's best actors, which helped a lot).

I always thought Chloe was one of the worst parts of Smallville. Not as bad as Lana, but still pretty terrible.

My point was the random teenage character they made up for the show was better than the two lead characters from the comics the show was based around! Just like Felicity is a much better character than Laurel.

Felicity was pretty annoying throughout all of season 1. She's been better so far. Chloe was always terrible.

The only tie to Man of Steel or Smallville I'd be up for is bringing on Michael Rosenbaum or John Glover as business rivals/enemies for Ollie. The Luthors were the best part of the show.

One thing that they've done well how they changed the relationship between "geek girl" and the hero, though. Chloe was constantly pining for Clark in a teen drama plot thread that would never be able to go anywhere. With Felicity, they're practically mocking that trope. (unless she eventually does fall for him so lets all hope that never happens)

Real teenagers are a hassle to deal with because depending on their age there are certain rules and regulations as to how many hours they can work. Also you deal with the still maturing factor where a teenager can look normal as a kid but get kind of freaky looking as an adult, see Haley Joel Osment.
