Dom Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm pretty sure the comic Green Arrow was a shameless ripoff of Batman. Pretty much. When he first appeared in comics, he had a kid sidekick, an Arrowcar, Arrowplane and even had an Arrowcave (although GA had his first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 True story, bro. That's the CW for you. The minor character body count on The Vampire Diaries is hugely high, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Solid episode, I thought. Although, what's Oliver going to do when he runs out of the awesome anti-poison herb stuff? Also, this whole tiny glimpses of backstory thing is cool and yet completely maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Virul Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Interesting sidenote: ShadowDog has been ragging about Green Arrow being a Batman ripoff but in the comics Deadshot originally was a dark knight pretender, came to Gotham in a costume and all. So this episode was probably to Dexter "The Battle of the Wannabes"! (/BBatB Aquaman voice) Oh and Icy? I'm going to let the whole "bro" comment slide this time but only because I know you've been reading George RR Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that Deadshot is a Batman wannabe who uses a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Virul Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 was a Batman wannabe. And the original Batman did use gun. HA ! My beautiful Lannsiter joke....ruined!! Damn you, Momoa ! Damn...you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Virul Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yet Hawkeye became useless after running out of arrows while Black Widow hijacked an alien skyski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 "Skyski" sounds like the main character of a Russian knockoff of Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 So this week's episode, I was like Excessive monolouging on Laurel's part! Dinner or fletching or both? Come on Bodyguard Guy, you know you want to join in on the ridding the city of corruption shenanigans! Stepdad... may be an okay guy. I really like the IT girl. More of her, please. OH SNAP, COVER'S BLOWN, THANKS CAMERAS! HOLY **** IT'S CAPTAIN JACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Get used to it. Smallville teased us with Clark finally taking that next step for 7 seasons. Arrow can't do that because Arrow is Arrow. What they can do is titillate your geeky parts by flashing known characters and then not delivering... until next week.

ShadowDog Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Who knows how he watches **** in whatever the Hell country he lives in. I'm glad the bodyguard is finally on board.

Darth Lohr Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Dammit! What just happened? My kids came in, made a bunch of noise, and the next thing I know Arrow's thanking the cop for saving him. Grrrrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Lohr - One of the butlers was hired by Captain Jack to kill Oliver, since he was publicly accused of being "The Hood." Oliver clearly had it handled, but the cop guy got a distress signal from the anklet (I think? My cat was being loud at that point), and came to help. Meanwhile, bodyguard guy showed up at the arms deal as The Hood, so Ollie's scot free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lohr Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks, Icey! Man, they really need to stop calling him "The Hood". They did that at least twice tonight and it's way too soon not to associate that with the very mediocre show of the same name. Why the hell aren't they saying "The Arrow" or something?!? Also, did the bodyguard actually do anything? 'Cause I'm guessing that he's good & all, but not Green Arrow good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Now that it's aired on all coasts, we might as well forgo the boxes... I wonder if it's a play on Robin Hood without being too copyright-infringing? Because it's pretty clear he's a modern day Robin Hood. And Ollie said that the Hood just had to be seen... not really do anything, just be there and kick a little ass. Bodyguard guy can kick a little ass.

Darth Virul Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was promised Deathstroke in episode 5. Happy now? I have a brain the size of a planet. Of course I'm not happy! Okl now that Deathstoke was seen (if that was him, I'm not 100 percent convinced), there's only one thing to look forward to. Getting Tommy to that island.
