So do people think that the show would’ve been ass if Oliver Queen was very like either his comic version proper or from the JLU cartoon?

I’ve always wondered how people in Starling City never truly put 2 and 2 together and realised that it was Oliver Queen.

I know he purposely had himself arrested in S1 but the timing of him coming back to Starling and the Hood’s appearance would just stay suspicious. Same thing in S2 he comes back from Lian Yu and the Hood is spotted for the first time again since the Undertaking to rescue Thea Queen.

In S3 Roy takes the fall for Oliver but the police already knew that the real Arrow was a 6’1 guy with a beard, which Roy can’t be, he barely even fit in the suit. Aside from the fact Roy was rescued by the Hood in S1.

And then we go to S4 where Oliver once again shows up after some time and suddenly the Green Arrow appears.

It would take a real traumatised guy to jump off rooftops and take down guys with a bow & arrow and someone with a significant amount of money, Oliver just fits that profile. Makes you wonder why the FBI wasn’t on his ass 24/7 before season 6

how did prometheus know about shado when he was listing people who have died around oliver?

I dont remember the exact episode maybe i just missed something but here i am

The whole petty messy love triangle during s1 probably didn't help but omg I ended up skipping some scenes relating to their weirdo toxic love triangle. The focus on the Lance family and their drama during s2 I'm sorry but sometimes it was too much. I understand that given Sara's return they had a focus and it was normal but sometimes it was just unnecessary drama with again Laurel/Oliver/Sara for god sake. I remember reading an interview from Antonio Negret saying that the Lance family sometimes hijacked his scenario during s2 (I understand it even more now lol).

I really hated her behaviour during s3. I'm sorry but her journey becoming Black Canary was so bad. IMO she never should have became the Black Canary. Sara was much much better and she was the OG one. Even later one Dinah gave a better impression (imo again).

Laurel E2 had a great redemption arc and her skills were great tho maybe she should have had a greater role in the crisis.

I know it doesn't help but I keep comparing her to Sara and I love Sara way more at soo many levels even just in terms of personality idk I click much more with Sara. This girl is so incredible and has so many layers it's insane.

Every version of all queen I have seen before the island literally needs to be on the island.

I’ve seen so far arrow-verse, smallville, batman animated and holy. Pre-Island Oliver was a different type of spoiled, rich brat. He was actually such an awful person with no compassion, actually no he did have compassion. He just didn’t care. If you guys watch Smallville, I’m not gonna spoil it, but how he was in high school… yea they all needed the Island.

Being in the trenches taught every version of Oliver Queen humility, and compassion.

Oliver, all throughout arrow was a straight demon, the season one Oliver was the Grim Reaper. Absolutely nobody in Star City was safe from that man. What do you mean to tell me this is the same man who ran up on his mother and his sister? Even his own blood caught that fade.

The same man was dropping bodies like they were Christmas presents. And even when he stopped killing, he was still crazy.

If a studio approach you to do a limited series which would you do? I would prefer Oliver journey in Bratva

Her jokes are never funny and she seems to get mad at every little thing Oliver does it’s just maddening am i the only one that dislikes her.

Studio Exec just handed you an assigment to reboot Arrow - with your learning of all 8 season of Arrow, what will you change?

I’ve mentioned before how I hated the new team arrow after season 4. I think the team should have consisted of

Green arrow

Black canary (laurel)
She should have lived and her and Oliver were the only two to stay after season 4 and she wears the canary suit from season 8.

Artimis
Wildcat

And some one to replace felicity.

John would have left to deal with killing Andy. Thea would have left because she couldn’t leave that life anymore. And felicty would have left because she count handle the guild of killing. Thousand of people.
Woudl this have been better?

Rewatching Arrow for the first time in a while, I just got to season 2 episode 14 again... I Absolutely hate how Laurel is Villainized at the dinner party with her Family. She has every right to be angry with sara and with Oliver.

Admittedly the drinking and drugs is On her BUT addiction is an illness... Not saying its anyone's fault but her own. However, She Is Treated like a villain by oliver and Her dad for being angry, It's absolutely insane to me! Anyone else feel similar?

was annoyed when he survived. after malcolm almost died, det. lance said to tommy, "so the hood saves you and oliver, and now he saves your dad, but he's taking out every other one percenter out there". he has a point

also oliver saved malcolm without even knowing why someone would want him dead... and then later fights him and tries to stop the undertaking
