Scapegoat posted:I'm going to be very interested when they do arrow vs flash. Flash should mop the floor with him so hopefully the levelling out makes sense. There's a scene in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Jotaro is fighting a guy who can speed up and slow down time, and he figures out that the guy, from his own perspective, is moving at ten kilometers an hour, but from the perspective of Jotaro and his friends, he's moving at three hundred kilometers an hour. One of Jotaro's companions says "That's as fast as a bullet train!" and Jotaro says "Perfect. You can see a bullet train coming." I'm hoping for basically that line.

Phenotype posted:I don't know if they'll ever get to the "inevitable" Justice League, because how can you really do JLA-style threats with A: a TV budget and B: no Batman or Superman. (And realistically, no Green Lantern, either, because that poo poo's expensive.) Easily. There are plenty of problems the regular Justice League can't handle.

STAC Goat posted:So it will happen gradually. Fast for the real world but still plausible for the comic book show we're watching and based on the standards that have already been set for Ollie, Roy, and Thea. I mean, Ollie became a bad rear end in a year or so on the island and Merlyn became a League of Assasin super bad rear end in two years. Laurel can become a bad rear end in training in six compacted months. There's a pretty big difference between spending your nights taking boxing lessons/getting into streetfights and literally fighting for your life while people try to kill you. Roy's a little different because he grew up on the streets, man. So there was already a base of "streetsmarts" knew how to take and throw a punch, etc. He learned focus and patience from Oliver more than anything. Thea's deal seems way more about how it changed her as a person, not that she's now ready to start fighting super soldiers by herself.

I watched some comic-con panel where Barrowman said that he had his own head-canon about Merlyn having Tommy when he was a teenager and that forcing him to step up and be an adult, so when he saw Tommy acting so immature into his twenties he was just constantly disappointed by him. in the same thing Barrowman said that he Donnel knew each other before the show because they tried out for the same parts on Broadway a lot.

They replaced the Atom and no one cared, then put him back and no one cared. OMAC owned but people didn't remember him, they brought him back and no one cared. Combining the Atom and OMAC into DC's Iron Man is hardly a terrible idea. If it works yay, if it doesn't work they can forget about it and no one will care.

Of course the DJ is working for the League of Assassins, if he isn't then the scenes he was in are the most aggressively pointless scenes in the history of television. As to whether or not they would include the Lazarus pit in Arrow, he's teamed up with the Flash. In this relatively grounded show, there was a guy who could run at the speed of sound. They can't unring that bell, and it would be stupid to try. The Lazarus pit is totally a possibility. Ras killing Oliver, Oliver coming back and having to step up his game to a whole new level would be perfect. Afterwards he can take on the metahumans that are gonna crop up, but it happened on the Arrow's (the tv show's) terms, and isn't just a reaction to the existence of The Flash (the tv show)

Narcissus1916 posted:One of the things I like about Arrow is its willingness to alter and screw with established character and themes if it suits them. And sure, that occasionally means that the DC Universe's best female hand-to-hand fighter is shown to have trouble taking down more than one mook at a time. Cassandra Cain hasn't even appeared in this show  edit: or is it back to Lady Shiva in the nu52? Because she hasn't been in Arrow either.

There was one part of the flashback that I thought worked really well; Olliver goes home and the only thing he can do to try to help his family is murder a dude, and it doesn't actually help at all. It contrasted with Olliver talking Thea into not killing Slade. It does make me wonder how season 5 is gonna work. In the present time line, the Green Arrow will be a public, non-killing superhero, a founding member of the Justice Society, and working to stop Intergang from taking over Star City with their mysterious mind control technology they got from a weird little guy in a robe. And in the flashbacks, he'll be proving his loyalty to the Russian mob by pulling out dude's fingernails.

Codependent Poster posted:The flashbacks should be done with. The cast is big enough you don't need them now. And did we really need a scene of Tommy asking Laurel out? It's not a big revelation, it didn't impact the present day at all, and it's something everyone knew. It was pointless. It had a ton of impact! I was all like, "oh yeah, those two were together! Wait, were they? I don't remember that, but I guess they must've been. Wait, did Tommy originally own Verdant? Am I making that up? I don't really remember, and it doesn't matter, because now there's a guy who can run so fast he goes back in time and the Atom is going to start fighting crime tomorrow while the Green Arrow prepares for a second shirtless battle with Ras Al Ghul, so a lot of that first season stuff doesn't seem super important"

We've been over that they weren't allowed to use Ted Kord a million times, I just don't understand why they went with Ray Palmer instead. If you're completely chaging his powers to fit the backstory you already have, why not take someone who's closer to having the right powers, and change their backstory? Like, for example, Christopher Smith. "No Felicity, you don't understand. I founded Pax Corporation to do more than just make money. I want to help this city. I want to bring peace to the streets of Starling City. I want to be.... a Peacemaker."

Also, goddamn now I wish they had gone with Micheal Holt instead of Ray Palmer
