Am I the only person who likes Laurel as Canary II? She's just trying so hard out there and it's finally starting to work  Although I know they're trying to mimic the comics with her using fighting more than anything else, but Jesus Christ, woman, you have the Canary Cry for a reason. Use the sonic thingies to even the playing field!

And because even if you didn't die to either of those insanely fatal things, lying half naked on a peak like that with the chest wound for about an hour would be enough to kill you too. There's really no end to the amount of insanely bullshit things Ollie just happened to survive. lazarus pit

At the rate we're going this season it's going to be  followed later in the episode by "Do I get a costume now?!

Spacebump posted:I hope they have some kind of explanation in a later episode for why Laurel doesn't use the canary cry in every fight. It's pretty much the same issue in the comics. Black Canary could literally use the cry in every single fight and tear a wide swath through pretty much every villain in existence, but she prefers detective work and martial arts and only uses the cry in emergencies. There's no real reason for it, but it makes it a lot more of an "oh poo poo" moment when she busts it out, so I'm willing to go along. Also, the hell is she using as a weapon? A tonfar/nightstick? Broken part of Sarah's bo? It's really awesome but I swear I can't tell what it is.

"I want you to become the next Ra's Al Ghul." "Great! Where do I sign?" Somewhere, Batman pisses himself in rage and has no idea why. And if you think Ollie is gonna let him forget it was offered...

I'm actually getting less and less okay with Ollie as an ersatz Batman. Where's swashbuckling philanthropist Ollie with a martial artist girlfriend who drives bikes? Where's the fun? They should've worked through the whole tragic back story thing already e: also how did I miss that was Katana in the flashbacks?

enraged_camel posted:All that said, I'm curious about how Nyssa will handle Ra's decision to train Oliver. Speaking of this, I like how there's a very subtle context of "Talia's way better than you." Like maybe I'm reading too much into things, but the way they keep going "Well you'll never be the heir" kind of emphasizes Talia's first in line.

Deadpool posted:With DC putting the kibosh on Harley and Bronze Tiger because of other movies and TV shows and since Manu Bennett already got cast in another show I'd imagine we might have seen the last of Slade for a while too. Harley never had a chance outside her wink-wink-nudge cameo. The fact that we even got that made me a lot happier than it probably should've.

Yeah, this season... has been on the way down since Ollie got stabbed. Flash is picking up with CRAZY rear end TIME TRAVEL and Arrow is actively going backwards through its history. I don't want Ersatz Batman. I want Ollie. I want the guy with the dumb van dyke and green hat making pithy commentary with his superheroine girlfriend and then calling Batman an rear end in a top hat. If he doesn't start buckling some swashes soon, I may have to move on

You know people can not like where shows are currently while hoping and even expecting them to get better, right? Eesh. This thread sometimes.  With that being said, I've been pretty harsh on the back half of this season, and I'm still hype as gently caress for a Cupid/Deadshot Suicide Squad episode.

DC editorial/upper management has always been a shitshow---especially in the last two years or so. On the other hand, this is the first episode where Ollie stops being Dickhead Replacement Batman and starts acting like the goddamn Green Arrow. Now that we're finally past the Felicity thing, maybe we can get on to him and Laurel getting together and finally get the train out of Angst Town. Though probably not before Captain Lance dies DC: , the Franchise

I really liked this episode. Slowly but surely, Ollie's going from "dimestore Batman" to Green Arrow. I hope Roy's stunt is what causes him to start getting called Green Arrow ("What, the guy in red is the arrow now? Should we call you the Green Arrow or something?") and that he hates every minute of it.

Hollismason posted:Yeah that's been a big gripe of mine is when are we going to get the entire reason I like Green Arrow on the show, that he's a militant super liberal. I maintain he's getting more and more Ollie as time goes by. He started as "dark murder vigilante" and is now at "Okay this has all gone terribly wrong, I'm turning myself in for the good of everyone." If and when we get this Ra's plot wrapped up and he firmly tells the League of Assassins to go gently caress themselves, I'm hoping it leads to an epiphany and we can finally get socialist beard-wearing changes-costumes-in-his-Prius dates-Black-Canary Ollie. Also in the meantime, make Laurel figure out how to drive a bike. I mean, we're already on our way towards "master martial artist" thanks to Nyssa, we need to pick up the pace here.

At first I was all "Speedy " but now we're going to do hilarious Lazarus Pit hijinx and that's going to be loving fantastic. I hope they devise a horrifically complex Ocean's Eleven scheme that ends up sneaking Thea in, resurrecting her, and sneaking her out with Ra's ever knowing. Bonus points if it involves Oliver keeping him busy with a fight long enough to do it, having Oliver winning enough for Ra's to surrender and wait to be killed, then being all "peace out bitches" and escaping.

Oh man I completely forgot about Merlyn. Maybe uniting Ollie and Merlyn in pissed off gonna gently caress you up mode wasn't the best of ideas. I mean I know he's trying to get Ollie to kill him and take his place, but drat son, you just brought the entire team down on your head.

Seriously not to belabor the point ( ) but Arrow better close out with one hell of a season finale or I'm out. The writing's been in a freefall since Ollie's death and they've singlehandedly made one of the coolest characters on the show almost as insufferable as Iris from The Flash.Maybe Ollie's first assignment as an assassin will be to hunt down and murder the writers

Can we ship Laurel to Flash? Or AoS? Or AoU? Or something? I've gotten really fond of her. She's the one character that's gone through a permanent growth curve, going from hilariously incompetent to a badass superheroine, and I don't want that to be wasted.
