Arrow on CW
- Thread starter DV8ed
- Start date
Other than a character angrily saying, "GET GRELL ON THE PHONE", or something to that effect, and his friend, "MERLYN", shit was like "SMALLVILLE" all over again. I did like the "twist" at the end though. I'll wait for others to watch before I make mention. I didn't see that coming.
I'm going to give it a few more watches though.
Just to see how they use certain characters.

obviously they going for the Twilight crowd
im sure they trying to get ron perlman to guest star(as a different character) for sweeps
I liked it. It's damn sure light years better than that Smallville bullshit. Totally unrelated. And I like how the show has violence and over the top fighting stunts. For those who haven't seen it, don't let the usual BGOL haters stop you from checking it out yourself (you fucking sheep). This show is basically BATMAN BEGINS, except with Green Arrow instead of Batman. The episodes will be uploaded here every week.
Very promising TV show and totally unexpected from the CW...

its aight i peeped it lol you right if mater splinter wasnt on that island i call bullshit.
but i like how it has a lot of black actors on it. im just happy the bad guy is the mother instead of the black man
and they used the same crib lex luther was in
You are right Rocky. It felt like the writers tried to mix a lot of Bruce's story into Ollie's story. It did feel like batman begins.
IMO Ollie knew a lot about computers, for someone who just back from a five year stay on the island. I know it's the pilot episode but the details killed me.

It was good i like it. Its not made by the people who made Smallville so why would it be like it. Was suprised that dude is such a killer though.
Pros:
-The acting is fine. Not oscar academy or anything but fair.
- I like the "tone" of the person playing the "green arrow" he's not overly loud nor overly mellow, IMO he carries the character with a good balance
-I like the apparent "dark" nature of the show how often do you see multiple people killed on a CW show?
Cons or Concerns
-They are going to have to bring their "A" game when it comes to explaining his training.
- Some cheesy lines, stole a few from the "Batman Begins"
-His custom, particularly the hood part and his voice during these heroics are "too" exposed.
- His set-up overall is "too" exposed
Overall, while not perfect it's certainly better than some of the other new series I've seen so far, I won't even mention "Revolution". It's definitely worth watching a few more episodes. For the people that mention similarities to "smallville" I would agree only "marginally"

BGOL's own Slade The Assassin about to make his acting debut on there soon
Yeah, this series writers seem to actually KNOW and care that it's based on a fucking comic book...unlike Smallville. Smallville tried so hard to stay away from the comic book stuff that it fucking sucked ass. For example, THIS is a picture of Deathstroke from the Smallville series...BGOL's own Slade The Assassin about to make his acting debut on there soon
@ Arrow's writers. And this is the actor - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1319969

Col.Tigh as Deathstroke
Col.Tigh as DeathstrokeI was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought it was typical DC cliche: brooding billionaire crimefighter with split personality but then when he actually killed a couple dudes, that was pretty shocking.
Speaking of shocking moments, the end was chock full of them. Here I'm thinking his dad is bound to reappear and that was taken off the board.
I also liked how they incorporated Green Arrow core characters like Speedy and Merlyn.
I didnt plan on watching but I will now.

I agree with this assessment, However it does create a problem on several fronts. Remember he doesn't have super-powers so he's venerable like any human, albeit one apparently in good shape. Thus he can get hurt, he tires, he's susceptible to the elements etc. I really hope the writers keep this in mind with his "heroics"
They are also going to have to explain where and how he acquired those fighting skills. I'm imagining some guru on the island taught him a few stuff. However, I'm not sure if thats enough to justify his apparent "advance" fighting skills. Remember he took out the retired "marine" guy, his body guard like it wasn't shit. Also, he soundly beat the head of security for the bad guy, quite easily.
I really like the temperament/tone of the character. It's a far cry from the portrayal of the "funny boy comic" on smallville
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natas_(comics)
Natas is the one that trained GA into a killing machine, so i hope it's shown in this series.
Let's not forget that Slade's mask was also on the island. I'm guessing Deathstroke was on that island giving him problems.
Nice, I'm not a follower of the GA series so this is the first I've ever heard of Natas. I suppose if Bats, a rich human, can be trained to such a degree. Why can't another equally rich human reach a similar level of martial arts proficiency?
I will say that bullshit ass setup he has: His base of operation, the hood that barely hides his ID etc is going to have to be evolve quickly!
ahhh, you mean "deathstroke?"
I had no idea his real name was Slade Wilson. Interesting.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathstroke
Does he have any relation to "DeadPool? aka "Wade Winston Wilson""

Yo man you watch the first episode then make your conclusion trust me it's not smallville.
If he's too "super", it'll lose the realistic vibe it has. I like that he uses plain arrows and not trick arrows with boxing gloves and shit.

The problem with this early premise is that without getting alot more "advance" ala Batman, Alfred and Fox. How long can he realistically fight without getting seriously hurt and/or discovered this way?
