So basically his name is Oliver Queen. After 5 years in hell, he returned home with only one goal. To save his city. But his old approach wasn't enough. He had to to become someone else. He had to become something else. He had to become the Green Arrow. Those are my thoughts anyway.
Honestly the CW show Arrow makes me lean toward calling the green arrow my favorite superhero they did a great job, also did an amazing job with slade aka death stroke seeing his origin from being good to bad was by far the best part of the Arrow series
+God-Emperor of Mankind He was hyped up on Mira Kuru (If that's how it's spelt) so he was so out of it and angry and confused he just went crazy. Also, he didn't know what happened and how Shado was killed, it was never explained to him. He just heard from the dude on the boat that Oliver chose Sara over Shado. All this together and the fact that Oliver lied to him makes perfect sense.

Razh 80 Most definitely man. I had more marvel toys growing up like Spider-Man and X men, but at this age I’m definitely more DC, can’t wait for Crisis
DonkeyPunchHer it's either he was thinking about drugs or because they call Thea in the show speedy sometimes in season 1 and she did drugs. So kind of is ironic.
I like the look ARROW gave green arrow, it gives a more modern, darker, look to him. The hood and, now, the mask, give him a very cool look, while keeping him loyal to the original costume.
This video was made almost 8 years ago so Netflix was still farely new and was just becoming popular so it’s EXTREMELY rare to see a Netflix sponsorship in a video now because there is no need for them to have a sponsor.
Hey Arris, I have an idea for a new segment on the show: Homemade Heroes! People can send you origins, costumes etc. You pick your favorites every week and adress them on the show! Like if you agree people so that Arris may see!
To everyone who liked this comment: I will put the same comment at the next video this week, so be sure to like that as well, so that we can keep the call for Homemade Heroes going!
Some friends ask me, "How did Green Arrow's parents die?" Then I answer "Lions" and they don't believe me. I show them the comic and they still don't believe me.
My personal favorite story arcs are 'The Archer's Quest' and 'The Sound of Violence'. Those two plus 'Quiver' were my introduction to Green Arrow (a pretty weird place to start) after I began watching Arrow and ever since he's been my favorite superhero.
he was called Speedy coz he moved faster than Green Arrow. I know I'm a year late but the more ya know also, Biggie, Speedy was a nickname for Thea. then Roy became Olivers sidekick (the first speedy) then took on the name Arsenal. and Thea took over as Speedy
He is an AWESOME archer! I even like it when he and hawkeye argue about who is the better archer. I missed his humor but I like the more serious Ollie.
I know! And that's what pisses me off! XD As a comic fan, I don't feel like I'm legally or morally allowed to say I like the CW version better, but... it's just better.
+Emo Imo Year One is my favorite, but there elaboration in the show is really taking the cake especially with how theyre moving him all over the world in those 5 years, which has literally never been done before (with green arrow anyway)
I highly recommend the Green Lantern Green Arrow series to anybody. It is the traditional Green Arrow we all love, and Hal Jordan isn't annoying like he is now.
Thank you for such a great description. I never even knew any details of this superhero until the WC made a show of him. It's good to see what is true to the original and what creative licence has been taken. Smile!
I can imagine some arrow fans are like: there was no felicity?! i'm like: nope there was something way more legendary and just plain better than olicity will EVER be. oh and guess what? olicity isn't. even. canon.
Hey guys, I was looking forward to find out some feats dealing with green arrow, but does anyone know what his greatest feats are along with the draw weight on his bow?
It did suck, but yes, since Lemire started it has become my favourite book in the new 52, and one of the few I'm still reading. Wonder Woman and Aquaman are also solid, but I worry about Aquaman now Johns has left.
My two favorite Green Arrow stories remain Year One (FREAKIN' FANTASTIC, and Jock's art is just so damn good) and Longbow Hunters. I also liked Quiver a lot, it's pretty great, and crawling from the wreckage was good.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer No...Clint is not "a cheap knockoff" Archers are common in any media... It s not like begin an archer is Green Arrow s original thing.... I HAVE NEVER understood why people say that Hawkeye sucks but Green Arrow is Badass...News Flash for everyone who says that... they are as similar as you can get... Give me ONE reason why Oliver is better than Hawkeye, and I may believe you...and don t bring in the Arrow Tv show...nobody gave a shit about Oliver Queen before that show...and if you say that he had better comics...debatable....GA has better solo comics while Hawkeye truly shines when he is with his team...the Avengers...lol Hawkeye has lead the Thunderbolts and made them truly capable heroes worthy of saluting...what has GA lead before Arrowverse? If we are going via feats in comics...Hawleye is BETTER! Yeah..I like Clint better...but I have never understood how someone can say either is better than the other... I bet the same people are still arguing that Iron Man is a China Knockoff of Batman...lol. Even the they have nothing in common besides their intellect and begin billionares...which is also something common.
@@bobitzathegodofcomedy5979 green arrow has a left a legacy of characters in his wake, he's lead the justice league on many occasions, he was even willing to risk his reputation by killing Prometheus to save the justice league. He cheated death by surving a plane explosion and came back like the badass he is.
I love what they're doing with the Arrow series on CW, it has completely filled the void Smallville left for me when they went off air in every way. It even goes more deeper into the Batman villains. I wont give anything away, but def check that out. A lot better then the Tomorrow People.
Hey! Could you do a History of the Justice League? There are enough variances in the original members for me to wonder if the origin stories of the League have also changed over time. :)
when Black Canary dies in Arrow he later falls in love with Felicity and then Black Canary has a sister Laurel and then she becomes Black Canary with the training of Nyssa
DeathCreationist I like his costume from the Brightest Day series, Stephen Amells costume is okay but dude needs to grow out the goatee, not asking for the Neal Adams Van Dyke but at least a modern day goatee and stache.
You know, you'd think it would be odd for two of the richest men in the DC world to *also* be two of its best human heroes... but then again, if *I* had that much time and money, I'd probably try something similar...
I love the CW version and if I had the time and money I would definitely own comics. I like CW's portrayal of the Arrow where he is a good mix with the goatee, and no. Also they have an awesome origin story. But I can appreciate the character in general.
Instead of either of the first two New 52 volumes, I would've recommended volume three The Kill Machine. It's much better than the first two. Also, I'm super glad you did this video, Green Arrow has long been my favorite super hero, and it's great to see him getting more attention recently. That's likely due to the show Arrow, which is fantastic.
yo all my friends keep necking me saying that hawkeyes better because hawkeye can fight, and green arrow cant, and green arrow never runs out of arrows. honestly if a charecter doesnt run out of arrows doesnt it make them smarter and more convinyent?
That cover art of Arrow shattering GL's power battery is epic! So I guess Green Arrow is like Batman since he doesn't care who you are, he will fight you.
That Drug issue with Speedy showed that Ollie is probably the worst parent in the DCU, he was so caught up in his preaching he wasn't there for Roy when he needed him the most,and just tossed him out in the street like he was trash, and instead of him being the one to help Roy overcome his addiction, he pawned him off on Black Canary. For all the berating he gave Lantern in the GL/GA series, about how Lantern was the man, he clearly hated it when people tossed it back in his face
Sick of people trying to push hawkeye on the audience. Hes an absolute shit character with terrible writing. He brings absolutely nothing to the avengers other than being the "guy with the bow". The fact that he was portrayed in a live action movies before characters like black panther and dr. strange is an insult to comics.
Madalin Grama he said when he was a kid, if he had continued to practice I'm pretty sure he could that doesn't sound to far out there, hell theres a guy who can cut a grape in half with throwing knives at a distance in this world, so that doesn't seem to hard at all...
so he didnt have any training he only had a "talent" with the bow and he managed to take down a plain and a bunch of drug dealers with weapons on his own...
I love Green Arrow, he's my favourite superhero. The only thing I want to add is The Quiver series, a really good series about the Emerald Archers return
Oliver Queen's life before he fell off his yatch is what Bruce Wayne's life would have been,realistically,after his parents died. Or if Thomas and Martha were killed by an animal or lightning orany way other than murder.
