Bad Moon posted:Making characters exist to die to give others growth is a poo poo thing and Shado and Sara deserved better. Moira's death by contrast was awesome because not only did they make an entire episode around reminding us of a key part of her character (do anything to protect her family) that her getting stabbed by Slade was a great moment if a horrifying one. If Sarah had been killed in the last episode of last season as some sort of statement either on her doubting her ability to be heroic that would have been fine. Okay, I'm not happy that Sara died, but you're completely ignoring that Tommy's death was pretty much the epitome of "dying for character growth." gently caress, Ollie even says so in the opening narration.

Polaron posted:I mean, it's not as if she worked for a guy whose entire schtick involves coming back from the dead and who seemingly has already brought a different character back from the dead. I don't know. Once you start doing that, it really just cheapens character deaths as a whole. See also: Every comic book ever. Merlyn wasn't resurrected so much as Ollie never confirmed he was dead. Sara was hit with 3 arrows and fell a few stories onto concrete. She's dead, as annoying as it is to admit it.

Daric posted:I think Sara came back to Starling City against his wishes, not the first time she's disobeyed him, and so he put her down for it. That's probably why Oliver is fighting him this season. I think there will be a dilemma that Oliver will have to face because he will have to choose to team up with Merlyn and Thea against Ra's. That would actually be pretty great. I'm really hoping that whatever direction the show goes, it won't involve "saving" Thea. It'd be much more interesting to leave her aligned with Merlyn, serving as a secondary antagonist throughout the show's run. Certainly would be better than having her be just another member of Team Arrow.

Gaz-L posted:I think the issue is more that they couldn't pay a couple of dudes to also dress up as cops? Because shouldn't Tommy get taken to a station or something for a statement at least? Probably just made up some bullshit about corrupt police and told him to leave as quickly as possible. I doubt Tommy was in much of a mood to question it.

Drifter posted:yeah, five months and Thea's going to kill a person. Five months to go from someone willing to shoot a mass murderer they vaguely know to someone willing to shoot a serial killer/contract assassin they vaguely know? Also, doesn't the military turn people into trained killers in something like 4 months? For the record, I don't think it was Thea, though that would be cool. But dismissing it because you don't think she is capable of killing is kind of a stretch given what the writers have shown us so far.

VagueRant posted:Thea was acting up a storm this ep. I hate that people younger than me are this talented. She even got the flashbacks instead of Ollie! I'm hoping we'll get more Thea flashbacks. The episode was so top heavy that it basically skipped over the development of her relationship with Malcolm. The resolution of her plot was kind of strange though. She's so sick of everyone in her life that she'll skip town with her father the mass murderer, only to come back after a single heart-to-heart conversation with her brother? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If there is one downside to comic book characters having attained huge pop culture status, it's that people who read comics have been let out of their caves and are now expecting all the lovely marketing stunts/cash grabs of that industry (excessive crossovers, connected universes) to be embraced by better forms of media.

Phenotype posted:I haven't caught up with the show yet (just finished S2), but I already heard Sara dies, and I'm not sure why everyone was expecting it to happen eventually. I haven't read a TON of Green Arrow, but I always thought the Black Canary he hooked up with was Dinah Lance - I didn't know a Laurel or Sara ever existed in the comics. Why is everyone sure Laurel will end up as the Canary? I had thought it was just a name change from Dinah to Sara. Comic book readers can't comprehend why the writers would deviate from their precious canon. Also, the show runners said so.

Xealot posted:Of course, the difference is, Laurel's female. At its core, my issue here is a feminist one: it's unfamiliar to see a heroic arc for a woman who's embittered, cruel, uncontrolled, or capricious. Tons of women have heroic purpose thrust on them (Buffy, Wonder Woman, etc.), but they tend to approach it with elegance or at least resigned enthusiasm. It's only the Bruce Waynes of the world who are allowed to be whiny, sobbing pissants for the first third of their stories. Female characters who are imperfect in these ways (and yet not villainous) are way more rare, and way more reviled. If you go through your life thinking that any negative reaction to a situation that tangentially involved a woman is sexism, you're going to end up a deeply embittered person. Thea's "drugged out party girl" arc was reviled because it was soapy CW bullshit.

Windows 98 posted:I'm still catching up and am only on episode 17 of season 1. But god drat I just kinda had to chuckle to myself that as soon as Oliver arrives back in the city TONS of people start dying to people shooting bows. A rather weird weapon to be using in the city. Not just all the people Oliver kills but also the people that Merlyn dad kills and vengeance-on-my-mafia-dad girlfriend lady kills. That's a gently caress load of deaths to archers out of no where. In hindsight, it is kind of ridiculous that Detective Lance spends part of the first season trying to find out who the Hood is without ever going "huh, maybe it's this Komodo fella."
