Regarding the motorcycle-arrow joust, I think it would have been better if they cut out the second pass and just went with the first and third. With all three its just Oliver not really doing anything for 20 seconds and letting the bad guy shoot at him.

VDay posted:My favorite part is that the turrets still missed. I love it when super crazy/futuristic automated turrets/weapons in sci-fi shows/movies are somehow horribly inaccurate. Computers are like, super good at math guys. I'd have to watch it again but I'm pretty sure the first turret that Oliver shoots at and then shoots back at Oliver basically just... aimed completely away from him as soon as it started firing. I don't know if it was supposed to be tracking the arrow or what but it was pretty confusing.

Arrow is kind of losing me this season. It seems like it wanted to tone it down for a bit, I guess for when Ras shows up to crank it up again, but it also isn't really doing anything all that interesting either. The flashback sequences are in the same boring holding pattern as well so I don't even get that to stay interested. I don't really expect every episode to connect the overarching plot for the season - Season 2 of Arrow didn't and The Flash isn't either and both were/are great - but entire plot threads have been dropped for way too long to keep interest in them, Thea especially. We see her training as a ninja or whatever and now she's just back at the nightclub and dealing with CW's idea of a top notch DJ? Ugh. It's quite possible I might just be an impatient idiot because its only been 3 episodes since we've seen Ras but those 3 episodes haven't really been all that great, even as filler episodes go. Hopefully the crossover picks Arrow back up.

Proposition Joe posted:I think that the season will/might pick up once we get find out who is the season's main villain and the main plot starts. There, my thoughts summed up in one sentence. We don't have a villain, we don't have a plot, we just have really ham-handed character metaphors in filler episodes and Laurel training to beat people up (after the writers forgot she could already do that).

If it gets Arrow out of the rut that it appears to beginning to fall into with its latest filler-ish episodes I'm all for it. Forcing the occasional more creative way to dispatch the bad guy other than hacking, regular arrows, and punching would be nice. Though I suppose my main problem with the last few episodes is the character driven stuff so even if it can't fix that it'll at least be a bit more fun!

Hollismason posted:It was incredibly lovely advice, that's the whole problem that Arrow has is he's all " My crusade" and all that bullshit about being a lone wolf who doesn't need anybody etc.. etc.. If Diggle can't be Green Lantern the least he can do is live up to the Black Driver legacy and take Oliver on a life-changing road trip across America.

BSam posted:You do know you're watching a show called Arrow, right? Not every villain on The Flash is a speed character. I don't disagree with him at least. Season 1 and 2 were fine, even when the League showed up with their own bows in 2 since we still had Deathstroke but now we've had two kind of D-list villains (their first suspect for Sara's death, Cupid) show up with their own bows and its starting to get a little tired. Captain Boomerang was great for multiple reasons, but I'd be lying if I said thinking "Finally, someone who doesn't use a bow" wasn't a small part of it.

Martout posted:That's why I was so happy with the suicide squad ep because it gave us more Michael Jai White. This season has felt a little sluggish so far, crossover naturally excluded because jesus gently caress, and doing more colourful villains like Boomerang and Bronze Tiger and letting them have more screen time and maybe another ep or two could have alleviated that while we waited for the DNA test. At least we have the Black Dynamite series.

STAC Goat posted:I don't see why you introduce Hong Kong dude into this story unless he or Katana are going to be the one who saves Oliver. I think he does it and Ra's kills him for it, but Ra's lets Oliver live since he already died once and he knows he didn't kill Sara. But Oliver's commitment to die to protect the killer will sell Ra's and Nyssa on giving him time or believing that it was all Merlyn. Personally I'm on the edge of my seat to find out where the DJ subplot is going.

Phenotype posted:I mean, he hasn't showed up since the club opening. Maybe that was just their idea of how to get Thea onscreen a few times before her arc comes up. Yeah, I'm really hoping that's exactly what it was. Or maybe an episode turned up a few minutes short after editing and they needed to fill the gap. Anything to make it not come up again ever.

I dont know posted:Just a reminder that Thea's middle name has already been confirmed as Dearden and her longstanding nickname is Speedy. So they already have used that particular winking allusion already. I wonder how much writers have to worry about what references they can use to wink at the audience without compromising any potential future use for them. "We should bring in XXX." "We already had a character mention XXX's secret identity as a toss-away dead person's name in Season 1."

imperialparadox posted:This is also the show with miracle herbs that cure all kinds of things, that the protagonist generally keeps for himself (as opposed to using them to help all kinds of people). Yeah, I don't really find the "100 foot not-so-bad" fall that satisfying, but it's looking like that is what happened. It's going to be a bit disappointing if there isn't something supernatural-ly screwy with Oliver's return. Whatever that plant is might suffice if it gets some more background in course of explaining how it cures stabbings but now that The Flash has uttered those very special words Arrow just going "You were dead!" "I got better." seems like it'll just fall completely flat.

VagueRant posted:Really, really annoyed at how they pussied out of Oliver dying. Getting stabbed in the heart (seemingly retconned to below the chest) and kicked off a cliff (specifically then shown to be a long enough fall to break his bones and probably turn him into mush). But no, it's just a minor stab wound and a bit of rest and medication and he's fine in a matter of weeks (?). Blech. I was worried about how they might handle lazarus pits, but that would've been a lot better, especially considering they kinda set them up with Ra's's age line. Remember the inverse ninja law. One ninja, or at least fewer ninjas than their opponents, is/are a nigh-invincible force. The League assassin was the one outnumbered by Ollie and Sara, therefor he was the formidable one. In the cabin, Maseo and Katana were outnumber 4 to 2, so they were the badass ones. In the fight in the church or whatever in season 2 with Ollie, Sara, and Lance they were evenly matched so it was a pitched and tense fight. AbstractNapper posted:The theory about Ra's intentionally not killing Oliver makes no sense from what we actually saw. Eh, we don't actually know how they revived him yet. I have to believe he actually was dead when they found him as they used the words "bring you back to life" rather dramatically. All I really think it needs is something more than "magic herbs" again or "you actually weren't quite dead." Kibayasu fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jan 31, 2015 |

The very fact that its a comic book show is why there are posts like this. Embrace the nerdrage. Also: CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Next week on Arrow: Oliver gets punched in the face by a random mook and he hits his head against a solid object. He suffers a traumatic brain injury and dies. Is why TV shows need dramatic explanations for dramatic cliffhangers. For every real story of a random person that survives a 10 story fall onto concrete with nothing but a few broken bones there are 100 people that trip over their dog in their home, crack their head on a shelf, and bleed out into their own brain.

It's a tiny thing but I thought the neatest part of the last episode was the shot where Oliver fires one of those fire arrows and you actually see it travel until it hits the guy. After seeing so many jump cuts between loosing an arrow and just having it appear in something that was nice. Wouldn't be surprised if during the shoot someone thought "Hey, if these arrows are on fire was can actually see one travel a long distance" and they just did it.

VDay posted:I have no idea if this is actually accurate at all or not, but I always figured Ray's suit was more about having a bunch of random gadgets and poo poo in it, rather than being some kind of Iron Man-esque super tank armor for him. It always seemed like it was going to be more of an exoskeleton (ie. it'll augment him, not necessarily protect him from bullets) with some padding and lasers on it rather than turning him into Robocop to me as well. Though I'm sure there will be a scene where he gets hit in the chest with a bullet or something and smirks while the bad guy stares in amazement instead of shooting for his face.

enraged_camel posted:I dunno, Bronze Tiger felt very D-list when he showed up on this show. He seemed to be simply a decent close combat fighter with non-permanent claws, i.e. a lame, non-metahuman version of Wolverine. I know that he has beaten the Batman in the comics but in Arrow he was very ordinary and not a very big threat. It was mostly that he was played by Black Dynamite.

Sir Potato posted:Goddamn it WB. I mean, the budget for Arrow has shrunken so much that it'd be really hard to do a good GL in action, but even just to have him there for a little bit would be great. Something to spice it up. And Ollie and Hal were besties in the comics, weren't they? John (Stewart) Diggle taking Oliver on a healing roadtrip across America is still on the table at least. He's already the Black Driver! Proposition Joe posted:Green Lantern is the lamest losah in the DC universe and I'm glad he isn't going to show up. But yeah, considering how badly they fumbled with Roy introducing more heroes just seems like a bad idea for the rest of the cast. Green Arrow, Black Driver, Speedy/Red Arrow, Black (is she officially Black yet?) Canary, plus guest stars is a lot already. Even Diggle, Oliver's best friend, hasn't really gotten a whole lot of dedicated screen time lately.
