Just kill off Felicity and make Arrow great again ffs
23 episodes is way too much for a season. They should reduce it to about 15 or something
The Black Canary story is Arrow's real and lasting crime and failure. I was expecting to go on this amazing journey of watching Dinah Lance go from average attorney to badass metahuman superhero. Instead the her title is treated like nothing more than a series of knockoff Robins.
Now it's like the universe is trying to play damage control with both a new unneeded Black Canary along with a new Earth-2 Dinah Lance.
Should've just finished what it started with Dinah Lance.
CW's Arrow is just "Batman with a bow." Nothing Green Arrowish at all, really.
I suppose it would have been divisive for tv audiences but Green Arrow is known for his left-wing politics and it's weird to strip that from him and turn him into another generic vigilante. It's like if Batman did away with his One Rule (oh wait…)
Olicity nonsense ruined the Arrow TV series!
Green arrow has used the hood
Some of the villains in the show aren’t from Arrow Comics , the Diggle character , Arrow training Flash,The Batman like parallel on tv, Olicity , Team Arrow at least this version , lol let’s see if I’m close after watching the video.

how about swapping out the more bad-ass and complex Emiko Queen for the lame whiny Thea Queen that doesn't even exist in the comics
I had to quit the show cause Ollie wouldn't lighten the fk up
Always bothered me how he’s too much like Batman here. I’d just prefer if they made a Batman show in its place instead (Gotham doesn’t count). Granted he’s considered himself a rival of Batman never understanding why everyone favors him most when supposedly they’re basically alike in style, but he keeps forgetting what truly separates them is how it’s always Bats will and precision to detail pushing what needs pushing or being a reminder even when it means being harsh outweighs anything expected from Arrow and is especially a welcomed aspect among the elite of heroes. Arrow is just another token hero that can stop anytime leaving the mission against evil nonsense to others, but Batman grew into the mission thus became a necessity for its success especially for a city many gave up on generations ago.
Batman is a masterminding general who finds another way. Arrow is just a talented soldier often tooting his own horn to be noticed. The scales of who’s more enlightened and reliable are significant.
Great video, guys! Arrow is a Batman wannabe soap opera show.
Last fun recently truiwq tale promising era struggle surprisingly penalty.
I love Green Arrow from CW
Oh, her name is Shado? I thought it was Shadow and was like, what stupid comic book name is this
Most important is that he is NOT goddamn Batman!
Comics sound great, why does the arrow sucking so much?
Wait is that KENNYS on the thumbnail?
Four words: does it actually matter?
I hope this show gets rebooted.
Was I the only one who noticed who much they butchered Stephen Amell’s name?
