I liked arrow season 1 despite its problems, like stiff acting, inconsistent writing, sometimes getting a bit soap opera-y and...that ending! I didn't mind it too much but there were no bright sides to it! Damn depressing!

Even so looking forward to season 2, doesn't start in the UK till the 21st.

Shows like these make me wonder why they don't make shows starring the marquee heroes, like Batman, Superman, X-Men for example. There's "Smallville" but again there was no superhero suit there, or agents of SHIELD but no Captain America or Thor. Just my observation.

Because the ones you mentioned are marquee heroes. If there were a tier system for superheroes, Batman, Superman etc would be at the top, with Green Arrow being 2nd-tier, maybe even 3rd-tier. Plus they can make much more money with those heroes through movies. The Birds of Prey also had a TV series, but it ended up getting cancelled. And the Wonder Woman TV series didn't even get past the pilot.

 

I like Green Arrow, but I've always thought, if he loses his arrows, is he screwed?

Yes and no. While he specializes with arrows, he also is good at hand-to-hand combat. Not on the same level as Batman, but still good nonetheless.

To me, Ollie has always been DC's Iron Man and vice versa. Rich comedic playboy that's very very well known for his suit/arrows, but is still very very great without them.

 

This show just came out on Netflix so I'm going to be watch this soon.

That was just an observation I came to myself. Tony leaned more to Olliver than Bruce for me with the humor.

 

I'm about halfway through the episode where Olliver gets arrested. Been really enjoying the show.

Actually... Olliver doesn't really need his money to fund him.. He uses arrows and bows. Quite sure that's way less than batgadgets and unibeam technology.

He does use a ton of specialty arrows though.

You know, this show does look interesting but I can't bear myself to watch it. The advertisements are really corny making it seem like it's this Peter Pan with a Hunting Bow killing people and at the same time, having this romantic relationship with some girl. It makes it seem like the demographic it seeks is teen girls and not the general audience.

They tried that during the 90's with Generation X, a show based around Jubilee and two other new generation X-Men named Mondo and Skin. It sucked and got canceled a few episodes in.

 

Also with Dr. Fury: Agent Of The Shield. Also shitty and canceled a few shows in.
