e X posted:Concerning Barry, it's the typical problem all DC comics currently suffer from. Can't have a hero without personal tragedy in their backstory, even if they worked for decades without one. The sedatives led him to where the super-powered-guy showed up. I think it's implied he just got heavily sedated.

Unfortunately, DC hasn't been making the best decisions lately and it's likely they're just going to continue trying to stupidly copy Marvel's everything. You drat well know that if a season finale cliffhanger somehow links Arrow to the DC cinematic universe, everyone would go loving nuts. I'd be excited as hell, ing all over the place in a perpetual state of nerdgasm-fueled euphoria. You're all liars if you say you wouldn't be excited.

King of Solomon posted:Wow, this is a really good video. Thanks for sharing, it's super interesting. Amell is such a good dude, it's really striking. Seriously, that was a great watch. I'm so much of a nerd that I got goosebumps when he answered the question about Arrow being part of the same universe as Man of Steel; it felt like he was trying real hard to choose his words carefully  He genuinely seems to be totally on-board if WB/DC decided they wanted him and Grant Gustin in a Justice League movie. I mean, their origins are already established so they can immediately be introduced. Fans who haven't seen Arrow or the eventual Flash series could then go back to and watch the show as a prequel after they see them in a Justice League film.

Krad posted:I do find it kind of weird that we haven't seen any Superman easter eggs yet... they're probably still deciding if connecting both universes would be a good idea. I see a lot of people saying it'd be a bad idea but not saying exactly why to make a good argument. With the advent of more fantastical elements being introduced this season, e.g., mirakuru, Grundy, and the origin/intro of Flash, it really does feel like they're setting up both shows (Arrow/Flash) for something bigger than TV. Amell does make a good point of them not doing "TV versions" of the characters, and are more concerned with doing the best 'definitive' versions that wouldn't look out of place in any kind of medium. [edit] And I mean... come on. Who wouldn't want to see Manu Bennett as Deathstroke beat the poo poo out of Ben Affleck as Batman? teagone fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Dec 26, 2013 |

Krad posted:I know they're trying their best to not do "TV versions" of their characters, but for example, can you really picture the Grundy we saw going toe to toe against MoS' Superman like he does in the comics? They're two vastly different things. Superman is like the king daddy of superheroes, so I don't see a problem with him being able to manhandle anything that Arrow would have problems with in the cinematic universe. quote:The other problem is how much more limited they would be compared to how they've been doing up to now. Just look at Agents of Shield, they have no idea what to do without being able to show Thor/Cap/Iron Man aside from some vague references here and there. I don't want that for Arrow. I want them to keep doing what they're doing Agents of Shield's approach to a TV series tie-in is all wrong. And that's honestly not even the biggest problem with the show in my opinion; it looks cheap, feels cheap, the characters/plotlines are uninteresting, and the writing sucks. Those are the bigger negatives to me. Also, it's not as if Ben Affleck or Henry Cavill would have to show up in on the TV show at any point to justify the connection. Sam Jackson showing up on AoS had no effect on me, nor did it make any difference to the quality of the show. poo poo, I'd argue even if RDJ, Evans, or Hemsworth showed up for an episode, it wouldn't make the show any better either. It's the writing ultimately dictates just how well the series could tie-in with the cinematic universe, and I really think the Arrow writers/showrunners are capable of making it work. teagone fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Dec 26, 2013 |

Krad posted:What I mean is: imagine a world where Arrow was allowed to exist alongisde Batmam Begins. Arrow would've never had the chance to use the League of Assassins plotline as much as they did this season, at least for a while/until Begins got released. Where they're right now, it seems like they can use almost any property they want. I remember that at first Arrow wasn't allowed to mention a lot of stuff that could connect to Batman. Look at it now; they almost want them to use everything they can think of, and the show is way better off like that. I don't see how being part of the Man of Steel's universe would affect Arrow in the way you're describing. Like, what reason would becoming part of the DCCU prevent or debilitate them from using other properties? If anything, I'd figure it'd allow them to use even more.

Krad posted:There'd be a bunch of characters for any future DC movies that they probably won't be allowed to use on the show aside from a passing reference. That argument kind of circles back to having Batman, Superman or any characters from either of those franchises show up on Arrow, which is an issue that can be dealt with good writing. Implementing Flash's origin into Arrow's current arc is a good example of that. There'd honestly be a lot more pressure, plot wise, to get Amell or Gustin to show up in a Justice League movie alongside Cavill/Affleck/Gadot in a way that makes sense and is organic to the story on both the Arrow and Flash TV shows.

jscolon2.0 posted:If so, Barry's mission to prove that paranormal/superhuman things happen should be really easy since the attack on Metropolis was broadcast on CNN. I could easily see a potential Flash season finale where it's a crossover episode with Arrow that ends with Ollie and Barry getting Zod's 'You Are Not Alone' message on their TVs/computers and then open up an Arrow episode with them watching breaking news of Zod and Clark's fight in Metropolis.

BreakAtmo posted:Not a chance. Besides the fact that Liam Neeson doing TV is unlikely, the show is in a different continuity to the Dark Knight Saga and they would actively want to avoid making it seem otherwise. It would be like casting Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man 2. While I agree the chance of Liam Neeson showing up on a DC comic book related TV show is pretty much zero, having a character cross over into a different continuity of the same franchise/property has been done before (Judi Dench as M for both the Brosnan/Craig bond films) and it seemed to work ok. Little different for comic book movies though, I guess.

WarLocke posted:This is basically why I hope the Arrow and MoS universes are never linked. Because just having the events of MoS existing in the same universe would totally overshadow anything they could do on Arrow. Batman or Superman wouldn't have to show up on Arrow; it'd be completely unnecessary, even if they are in a shared universe. Did Thor or Cap show up in Iron Man 3 for a significant part? No. I honestly can't see what the big deal is. All I'm getting is just "it'll be bad" but without any convincing evidence as to how or why it would be. Someone enlighten me. Also, since Arrow is essentially Year One, and Grant Gustin's Flash origin is just starting, it's not hard to assume that if... if the TV show universe is linked to the Man of Steel/DC cinematic universe, that both shows are taking place a few years before Zod and Clark's Metropolis brawl happens.

bbf2 posted:Arrow uses characters from DC comic book lore extremely liberally (and in a very good way), and it would suck for their ability to use whatever DC character to be held in check because they have to check in with the head honchos of WB to see if there's any chance of them wanting to use said character in a future movie. I'm pretty sure at the very least they would have said no to Deathstroke, Amanda Waller, and having Ra's Al Ghul appear in the flesh (which I'm sure will happen on Arrow at some point). Don't they check with WB/DC already? I mean, wouldn't they have to? Also, the Arrow cast would elevate the DC film universe to awesome levels

I don't like the character, but maybe the lack of chemistry is in purpose because of her whole Tommy dying trauma?
