Top 5 Things Arrow Has Gotten Wrong About Green Arrow 

Only for the first season

@Dylan Blackham He killed Dark in the 4th season.

Green Arrow*

He kills for the RIGHT reason.

There's a comic on that batman hunting the green arrow for being a killer also I like the cws arrow it's more for adults then a child's TV show a plus for me.

Replaced with thea

Jake Brown That’s what I was thinking! This title rustled my jimmies because it acted like Arrow made the Green Arrow suck, but it actually brought him more into the spotlight, and made his story and allies more recognizable

Jake Brown Didn't we also get an episode with the drug Vertigo? I forgot who got addicted to it

MrGamer1992 I think Thea got addicted to Vertigo

MrGamer1992 don't believe anyone from the main cast got addicted to Vertigo in the tv series

Jason D. Phoenix yep, i stoped watching ir the first Time Ra's al ghul was mentioned

They wanted to make a Batman show but couldn't.

clown4 why

Jason D. Phoenix They are now. The next crossover will bring in Batwoman (Kate Kane). Which I believe will lead into a Batwoman series. And to answer the question as to why Batman isn’t in the Arrowverse, I believe it has to do with the movies. Yes there’s Superman in Supergirl and well Flash, but that was the reason that Slade/Deathstroke was taken out of Arrow and they’d probably do the same with Batman if I had to guess.

Agreed so many batman easter eggs and references

apparently the reason was Olicity lol

Writer's what? Or did you mean "writers" as a plural

Facts and why replace her with her earth 2 doppelgänger? No sense Olicity is a whole new idea, they ruined the show many ways, if they avoided those ways and just didn’t do any adjust other than maybe a few add ones like Damien Darhk, the show would have been perfect

Because of crap olicity fans.

Yeah well maybe if Laurelpocolypse never happened in season 3 they wouldn't have had to do that.

BrickStudios 105 talia isn’t a villain Nyssa is

Deathstroke is a Teen Titans villain

Yes but manu benett's deatshtroke ist by far the best one(with the back story)

@Kendrick Deshawn Yes he is wtf?

@@andrewlin3612 no he isn't

Fasareste I Kurzfilme & mehr agreed

Agreed They are just trying to make money and attract fans of the show. Not paying attention to detail.

Fasareste I Kurzfilme & mehr The rape storyline would be waaaaayyyyyyy too much.

Agreed

Yeah like good writing and no over the top CW relationship drama.

Don Leitoso and 5

Season 5 was the best thing in the whole Arrowverse, what are you talking about?

Don Leitoso first off season 1 and 2 were fantastic

Season 1 was great, season 2 was excellent, season 3 was good but a little inconsistent in it's tone and story, season 4 was pretty Average at best and gringworthy (mostly in the second half) at worst, Season 5 was just short of a masterpiece of a season and though 8 episodes season 6 has been a pretty good follow up to season 5

Roronoa Zoro of course they are, that's why I said the fourth one sucks

i stopped watching after it got so confusing lol

They should have kept sarah

mike okol they brought her back to life

king savage '97 yea but she no longer black canary she went to legends of tomorrow

mike okol sucks doesn't it😂😂😂

LeoGang Monty It's Harley

Yup

Lol

LeoGang Monty That is the one and only time we get to 'see' Harley in Arrow. They basically killed off the Suicide Squad in Arrow because of the movie and there was supposed to be another Harley 'appearance' but it was scrapped

MrGamer1992 yeah but wouldn't she be a little weird with no joker in the arrowverse?

And I'm pretty sure Mia is called Speedy in Smallville

FRISHR 😂

More and more the Arrowverse is turning into a girl power pep rally. "We are the Flash?" Really? And even though there has been similarities with Bruce and Ollie. Ollie never had his own Oracle. Oh yeah, and Supergirl isn't more powerful than Superman.

@Yoshimitsu Felicity atleast is doing something useful.

Ikr?

Nether characters are black. Im a huge comic fan and I hate when they change a characters race to appeal to a certain audience. Keep these characters white and keep the black characters black. If they want original black characters give us our own original black super heros.

Greg Caldwell I mean in the comics it's a title that's passed down, as well. Just in the opposite way. Dinah Drake (newest one) is the original in the comics, and she's Dinah Laurel's mom.

Bob Pickleson All that I know but Sara Lance was already serving as the original Dinah Drake adaptation in the show anyway and the mantle had already been passed down to Laurel making everything Dinah Drake does later seem like a knockoff of either Sara or Laurel. The story wasnt about simply passing down a mantle, it was about family legacy and Drake isn't family and didn't even know Sara or Laurel making her actually look a bit stupid for taking on a name because some strange guy told her she should. Killing off Black Canary just as she was getting good only to immediately replace her with a knockoff also didn't do the show any favors considering it already had a bad reputation over how it writes women. Then the show actually had the audacity to act as though Laurel had been this amazing and fullfilled superhero when she actually had just gotten started and wasn't even given a grand heroic death.

Gregory Caldwell exactly. It’s so dumb. Laurel became black canary in season 3, she could have been in central city working on a case (which actually makes sense!) and then given the Powers after the accelerator explosion. Then she would go out in secret and fight off people. Then her and Green arrow would meet and he falls for Black Canary who he later learns to actually be Laurel. Just saying arrow knows what they did and they know it ruined the show. The three best seasons of the show (1,2,5) are the best, you know why because their isn’t any olicity drama. And if they want olicity that don’t have to do it in a way that makes us hate it so much

Olicity ruins all

Doc Jabberwock That is true. l don’t know why the CW changed his outfit back from the season 4 outfit. Even though it was kinda tacky it was still the best and resembled the New 52/Rebirth one

Well Batman in Gotham isn't Batman either, and face it, he's a better batman than all but 2 of the DC Movie Batmans, and frankly he does a Batman voice better than Christian Bale did, at least I can understand what he's saying.

WinterSplinterM.II That’s Exactly what I’ve saying for years now. Those writers and actors/actresses NEED to get that through their thick heads already.!!!!

yeah you're right he is better than batman

Batman is overrated af I’m sorry

@@saminahsan477 Batman could beat his ass easy tho and I like my boy Olie

You should watch the show with a clean slate then. Don't think about the comic. Because the show, especially the first two seasons are goated

lol

Weren’t they dating before the island in an affair thing

Honestly it annoys me so much, I'm still watching it and I just want them to kill felicity and bring back laurel and ollie

Yeah i know. You should read the manga instead

Kieran Walker I wish they never even tried designing her character that way and did the real Dinah 'laurel' lance backstory independent of Ollie.

TheSodorSteamworks They’re annoying, and add nothing to the show

Usseless and annoying and became the main character voor one season almost

Let's start with Felicity there is many reasons why she is a bad character but theses are my top 2 reasons why , before Ollie died he wanted Felicity to reunite William with Mia so they can grow up together but she never did that that was the last thing Ollie asked her to do and she couldn't even do it . She embarrassed him at iris and Barry's reception all Felicity broke off the engagement I understand why but when they get back together again Oliver wanted to marry her again when they were at the reception and Felicity had to yell ' I don't want to marry you Oliver ' she could have said it quietly to Ollie but she had to yell at him he loves her so much and she doesn't deserve any of it but he still loves her and all she can do is be the negative one in the relationship . Iris , I didn't have a problem with her in the first 2 seasons but once she became Barry's girlfriend she thought that she was so important and they just needed her to join the team but she isn't even useful they could have left her as Barry's girlfriend but even then I don't think she fitted in the show that way in every movie and comic Barry and Iris have this amazing connection but in this show Barry's connection isn't with her I think that Barry shouldn't have her as a wife but have Caitlin . Yes Caitlin and Ronnie were the best couple but they killed him off she did say in the early seasons that she needed to fid someone new to get crazy for we all knew she was talking about Barry and their friend ship is so amazing and they can talk about anything . Once they started to make Iris important I stopped watching the show I only watched clips they show too much of her once Barry goes in to the speed force . Those are my reasons to why I dislike Iris and Felicity there are way more but theses are my main reasons why .

Felicity complains to Ovilever about everything he does, like with his son. He didn't tell her for good reason and got angry over sending him away to keep him safe, even though it had nothing to do with her. Iris was fine but got so annoying, she became a main character for no reason and was so boring. Also the "we are the Flash" thing was stupid. In other word Laurel should have been with Oliver because they had more chemistry (even Cupid did) with Oliver. Then Caitlen (I'm not sure if that's spelt right) and Barry should have been together. They just made them both unbearable

@@mrjawline1143 I agree with everything you said except the fact that Laurel should be with Oliver I understand that in the comics they are a couple and they are adorable but I'm not sure if it is the actor but I don't like her in Arrow.

Demoi Yeboi the number 1 thing is for sure something that's wrong about the show. He's supposed to be witty and charismatic. Not cardboard guy. Idk I think it's the writing it just sucks so many times

If they did things differently then it's wrong.

Demoi Yeboi No. It's what they did wrong.

2 and 1 are true though.

King Merck No, they just decided to change it. That's not a mistake, it was simply a creative decision they made. Having Oliver cracking jokes all the time wouldn't fit the tone that they were going for on the show, or his back story.

Noob bad news - they just got married

Why do people hate this relationship so much, I will admit, I dislike felicity but I’m love the relationship between the 2

@Eduard Kung You have a very childish way of thinking. Anyone who still uses the word nerd has to be in the 4th grade

You missed the best part then

@@ryukrants7975 Because she's irrelevant they killed of his wife and made Felicity his wife when in the comics black Canary is his wife

Sonic Badass season 4 was the pinnacle of Arrow as a show and the height of all Tv entertainment! We got to see the bad a** Oliver Queen from the first 3 season turn into a stay at home wife for felicity who cooked meals and has brunch with her mom. And the down to earth gritty story telling get turned into a watered down show about mysticism with snarky one liners. And the flash backs omg from mercenaries and super soldiers to hill Billy’s and discount drug farms yep that’s evolutionary writing if ever I saw it. So the next time you want to talk bs about season 4 remember what I told you here.

kaledov It’s still one of the laziest seasons ever. Thankfully, season 5 was much better. Season 4 had some good parts, Sara comes back and that’s how she joins Legends, Constantine shows for 1 episode, Thea’s progress since her death. Flaws: Laurel dies? Really? Should’ve killed Felicity instead, would’ve make sense. After everything Oliver has been through and losing the girl of her dreams was a bad move. Making Darhk invincible for too damn long or too soon was also something people didn’t like.

kaledov Please tell me that you’re joking.

Epic comment.

Season 4 was horrible i agree.

Nope, I haven't see season 4. - I was so frustated that I stopped watching at mid of season 3... Too much Olicity crap, also the fact that later I found out that they killed the Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance), was the last drop... - He should have been Green Arrow-ish since the beggining, he get's a pass in the first two seasons because he was traumatized by his stay on the island... - But that guy in the show isn't Oliver Queen (from the comics and animations), that's Bruce Wayne dressed in green.

You're god damn right ! Olicity is total crap ,

Dhruv Singh while I agree with everything you said... I still have problems with the writing of the show (from season 3 forward) and the focus on that "Olicity" crap... The fact that this Oliver is more "Bruce Wayne-ish", instead of the Oliver from comics/animations, is a minor thing but still bugs me because I really like Oliver's sense of humor in the comics/animated series

Tatiana Oliveira I dont think they destroyed Laurel, (btw its Dinah Laurel Lance) if anything they really helped her progress through the story line especially with her fight scenes omg. I agree about the Bruce Wayne-ish thing about Oliver. I swear everyone hates on Olicity. I don’t have any problem with them too much though.

you got the point

because they were going to make a batman show but couldn't get the rights

@@maurice9766 thank god because batman is so overrated in DC it's becoming what Wolverine is to marvel.

Zachary Miklas so true. I hate Felicity.

Her Lost Bounty she was decent in seasons 1, 2, but she got awful by season 3.

Yeah she was a good character in the first 2 seasons but got worse by 4 and 5 should've just killed her off on the island

They should've stuck with Dinah getting back together with Oliver, after Tommy's death.

They shoulda killed everyone off on the island except D-stroke, that woulda been great. I thought that happened until season 6 started. *sigh* 😦

Yay! I hate her!

@@seidejaber9523 Yay! I hate you

Eddie Márquez I agree.

this is so true

Eddie Márquez so very very very true

Why do people hate felicity she's the least annoying person he's been with lol

anthony cheesman no hun she’s not the least annoying she’s the MOST & ONLY annoying person on the show, walking around ordering Oliver around like he’s her dog, the show was supposed to be about Oliver Queen, about his struggles, about his journey, about his loses, about his dark & light side but because annoying fefe the show became nothing more than the Olicity fan service hotline, because of said “least annoying” character Oliver queen LOST his character, LOST his mission, LOST himself and became nothing more nothing more than an obedient dog to felicity, the guy used to have some dignity and now fefe yells at him and embarrasses him in front of his friends/ colleagues and shuts down his marriage proposal and the guy still apologizes to her as if he did something wrong and then basically still begs her to marry him, the guy lost his dignity, his pride, his self worth, his self confidence, his intelligence, his morals because of her thus making her the MOST annoying, selfish, cold hearted character in a the arrowverse shows

Really? I fucked off pretty early on, after the BS with Count Vertigo.

try season 5. also you shall discover smell is pretty good at dry wit as well

amell lol

dill pickle season 5 was okay, and I didn’t like season 3.

Season 5s finale is one of if not the best episode in the series...You got to check out season 5. Adrian chase is a really good villain too and that's saying a lot because villains these days suck in superhero tv and movies

Mutant X But he gets cold.

Sam Lung small price to pay for looking awesome lol .

Adrian Quidilla same he looks like a magic mike character without sleeves

Adrian Quidilla I prefer sleeves as well

Mutant X Sleeves made more sense, since most of the fight scenes take place at night.

Should of been a top 10 list...smh

Top infinite list of what they get wrong. Yeah that sounds about right.

marco39120 This list isnt reallt what they got wrong. They just changed it cuz most of these wouldnt work in a live action tv show

Really spam? MAYBE #1 but the others? It was just a stupid-ass desicision because CW exes thought that people wanted grimdark gritty. But they missed the mark horribly. AND they went out of their way to be SOOOPER REALISTIC!!!!!tm at the beginning of the show. As a result, I didn't get past season 1 before I stopped watching out of pure disgust.

It's watchmojo None of them have ever read a single comic book they just skim through various comment sections and message boards and look for the most commonly mentioned argument points. then they use google image search and youtube to find popular comic book covers, comic panels and video clips to give the illusion that they know what they're talking about/ have done research for their videos.

Olicity isn't a problem with the show. I like the Olicity pairing.

anthony n respect your opinion man

Fuck Olicity.

Yogeshwar Sharma I agree with you entirely too; I thought there where WAY MORE love and chemistry in Oliver's exs on the show than the entire fucking time he and the cancerous Olicity relationship has...

anthony n LOL that's sad

6 seasons of watching arrow and THIS season is what you could not take anymore? Dark knight trilogy is only 3 movies, arrow is an on going tv show..I am aware arrow has many problems but I like that the cw shows all feel connected unlike in the netflix universe where they just make references to the movie characters and barely show up in each others shows

@@YTChannel420 the point here is shouldn't have made Green Arrow like Batman. In case if you don't know Green Arrow that much, he has that cockiness and a swash buckling charm

Matt Graves And Laurel does?

MeehLaq She never killed anyone, so that's better than a psycho.

Matt Graves How is she a psycho? You can call most Arrow characters a psycho If killing makes them psychos.

MeehLaq Because she was a sadist, she enjoyed killing people.

Matt Graves How? When did they say that? Also Oliver admitted he enjoyed killing in Arrow. Does that make him unworthy of his name?

No. That would ruin arrow.

McKnight That would ruin the relationships of Oliver- with Thea, Anatoly and Slade.

MadSnowman Honestly. I'm tired of Felicity

Hunter Me too. They almost redeemed her character in season 5, but proceeded to undo it all in this season. Such a shame. Felicity was a good character back in season 1 and 2

MadSnowman Should’ve died in season 4, hopefully she does in this season lol

MadSnowman And when she embarrassed Oliver, in the rehearsal dinner, I hated her even more. She's a tech guru, I get it, but other than that, she's useless. I want laurel back

Hunter The fact that people think she’s better than Oliver blows my mind. In what rehearsal dinner? Season 6 perhaps? I’m not sure, I’m only starting season 6.

He did use the boxing glove arrow in one episode. Oliver has money again now that he is mayor. He has a beard too, although it's not as long as the comic version. There is humor, it's just more dry and sarcastic, and less "quippy".

Sammy Derrick he is funny sometimes

I AGREE!!!

Ideal team Arrow: 1. Oliver/Green Arrow 2. Curtis/Mr.Terrific/New Overwatch 3. Diggle/Spartan 4. Laurel/Black Siren/Black Canary 5. Dinah/Black Canary This team is well balanced, it includes a tech-savvy person who can also defend themselves and is not handicapped. The team has two people with long ranged weapons (Oliver- bow and arrow, Diggle- firearm) and includes two metahumans (Dinah and Laurel) with potent cries). The team also includes two people who can fight with close-range weaponry (Dinah- bo staff, Laurel- tonfa), not to mention lack of vulnerability or limitation in terms of self-defense. This team is ideal thanks to it's diversity but balance of techniques...

Sammy Derrick. Your wrong

it was actually however they wanted a darker version of the charachter

DryBones271 At least Chloe was a unique, original and interesting character, Felicity started out nice, but became too much of a bitch.

If I can't blame the writers for not properly using Black Canary (for not even properly portraying her), who am I to blame? Katie Cassidy? Juliana Harkavy? The directors?

black canary was in it one time but we don't see diane for a long time

Omar Guillen Green Arrow's hood works, but sleeves? Dude have you ever shot a bow before? Sleeves? They're so impractically stupid. Season 4's costume is what practicality looks like.

An archer with no periferal vision works?

last raven85 Do you remember the several times that Oliver didn't need his sight to fight? In the episode where he is drugged with vertigo (season 1) he takes on all of the Count's thugs without the bow, and well dizzy/disoriented. There is also the hallway scene where he rescues Walter and hears the guy with the gun before he turns the corner.

That would be great

Yes

SupaPixelGirl The movies and tv shows should always separate imo .

Nahhhh one dark and broody hero is enough.

Why? A batman clone? They shouldn't have a Green Arrow that's actually Green Arrow in the DCEU.

…Because he's a hero who believes that murder will make him fall down the same path as the villains?

Boopin Dooples then why the bow and arrows

But he does kill again now. That isn't his first go to move now but he does kill when warranted.

It's to remind him of what he went through, and to remind him of why he helps people. He's modeled himself after Robin Hood, hoping he could do good like the hero of fable. As for the bow and arrow, he has trick arrows, different types of arrows can kill if used in a certain way, but most are used to incapacitate enemies.

He does kill...

Scarces Flannel not necessarily wrong. They just did it differently.

Caitlin Snow there's different and there's way off arrow is way off.

Scarces Flannel Okay? I'm just saying it's not wrong because they *purposely* changed it from the original. Yes it's way off, but they weren't trying to make it the same.

Please no thank you. Laurel was god awful. Love her as the Black Siren hope they never redeem her.

@@GypsyTink This didn't age well

Thank you!

Felicity should have died instead it makes more sense

Yrp olicity is bs

God I hate Felicity so much.

Get a life, virgin.

If all you so guys are watching for a ship whether comic canon or not then you are just as bad as the other side. Its silly. Who cares who he's sleeping with, married to, dating. If Superman married Wonder Woman or Black Canary I could care less. If Barry stayed with Patty instead of Iris who cares. Get over this crap already.

they have disrespected Katie ever since season 2. Just waiting for the Black Siren redemption arc

Yeah by making him batman in green tights. It's BS.

@@darthxerxes5468 boy it’s been three years how did u find this

Yeah now he's just a wannabe batman in the show.

DariusHazano well,the arrow of cw doesn't have batman or superman or wonder woman in his unverse it seems. I know he mentioned Bruce but he could just be a regular billionaire on arrow. And yeah Kara exist in her own world but never confirmed on Oliver queens.

@@carybeweary7209 well, now it has been confirmed. There was once upon a time a batman in Gotham. And since Bruce left Kate had filled the role.

Αγγελιάνα Ιωαννίδου 10 or 20 maybe

themarine0316 yeah I agree if they were carbon copies it wouldn't be entertaining they need to change things up to keep it interesting

False. It's a Batman show whereas it should be a Green Arrow show. A show about a loveable smartass, not broody Emotion-Man.

I have a question. Would you be triggered if the movies missed huge points in hunger games, divergent, twilight, etc?

That's true. It was never meant to be a straight up adaptation of GA.

No I wouldn't care at all they could all mix up couples change costumes. I'm going to start shipping Spiderman and Killer Frost. That might be fun. BTW twilight did miss several things I still enjoyed it and I hated Hunger game so eh.

Season 2, season 1, and season 5 are the best seasons of arrow..Season 6 has been decent so far

YT Channel 5

Season 5 is epic

MrNumberFour CW DC universe shits on Hollywood DC universe.

True ^

number 1. the shows are a cringefest.

G Mon maybe arrow season 1-2 and flash season 1, that's it.

Nobody cares about your opinion ^

have you seen the picture of felicity's grave?

Khallum Vithal lol

Their couple is still trash tough

Amany Ekongolo Bebe It would be trash if Oliver married Laurel

I know, which is why he should marry Sara imo

Amany Ekongolo Bebe Sarah is just having fun with Nyssa, Alex and every other woman she meets

Misha Steele Meh true, but she gets Ollie more than any other of his love interests which is why i love the GA/BC couple in the first place

There is no suit. It's just some green hood smh

Their costumes are garbage. their costumes look like they are from some shitty low budget "super hero" tv show pilot in 2002.

Ghost Light, agreed. I feel like they used GA as a big excuse for a Batman show. Make a Batman show already. I feel like CW made me lose respect for GA

Comic version too. He original character is like the animation

I like Dinah, but the chemistry isn’t there. Laurel had zero chemistry with Oliver also. I liked Sara, but like you said, on again off again.

Dante The Demon Slayer in the comics black canary and green arrow is married and have a kid.

Murdock and?? i’m pretty sure that everyone knows that by now. that doesn’t change that fact that a) this isn’t the comics and b) neither dinah nor laurel have chemistry with oliver which is a must if the show is to continue.

Midnyt Storme it's a shame that they could've done something good with this show, but made him into a batman wannabe

Murdock lucky for me i’m not coming from the comics so i can enjoy without expectations. i do tend to stay away from movies or tv shows that i don’t feel i can go into with an open mind tho. i feel that’s setting myself up for disappointment. and while i’m sure it’s really fun for fans to have a faithful adaption, you have to admit that a lot of content simply doesn’t translate across mediums.

Season 5 was pretty cool and most of the olicity shit has kinda died down now..though they do have their moments from time to time now and they are married in the show

Them being married ruined arrow. #RipArrow

Michael Colotti how? Seems like your an intellectual

BECAUSE ITS NOW A SOAP OPERA FOREVER!!!!!!

Mary Pollett Now that is just....No. Have you seen their actors off screen? To me they are basically Mulder and Scully/David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson if you have ever seen them. Their chemistry is just Wow.

Poldarkian yeah offscreen, onscreen they have no chemistry. One of the worst couples on tv

Raining Potatoes They do have chemistry! 😯😕

They had chemistry when they were apart

Seriously what are you on and can I have some of it. Season 1 Felicity was a godsend to the Arrow program otherwise it would have been never ending grim dark without a single ray of humor. As it was, her first scene with Oliver was probably the first time both the actor and the character had a genuine smile during the series. With the right writing the Oliver Felicity relationship is quite fun to watch.
