Arrow Arrow General Discussion Thread - - - - Part 18

I'm not going to get in this debate, but for those who are lazy (like me) could you sum up the arguments presented and ultimate conclusions of that article?

The Olicity romance has been handled so badly in season 3 by the writers that those fans who DID find the couple cute and somewhat compatible in the beginning were turned off, I've read dozens of post where people declare that they are disappointed with the development of the Oliver/Felicity relationship, although they liked their interaction in season two. It is also a fact that the on screen reality oftentimes doesn't live up to fans' expectations and fantasies, especially when it comes to shipping. When Olicity became "real", it wasn't as chemistry-laden and terrific as people had imagined, and that may also be a reason for the backlash. It is also a fact that many fans enjoyed/liked the Oliver/Felicity relationship much more when it was purely platonic.


That the article in a nutshell

Re-post again


"It’s funny, I’ve spoken to David quite a bit about this issue, I know it keeps coming up. I spoke to [writer] Geoff Johns at DC after that interview went viral. Basically, John Diggle is now a character in the comics… John Diggle is John Diggle. We’re not being coy and saying John Diggle is someone else, i.e. John Stewart. DC has other plans for that character. We love David, and we love the character of John Diggle that he’s created. We have really cool plans for him… they involve a wedding ring, but they don’t involve a power ring."




That might be a stretch, but it's certainly possible that they would choose him over Hal Jordan for Justice League and the character's next solo outing. While Diggle is just Diggle then, Guggenheim did drop a very intriguing hint about other members of the Arrow cast who could end up being revealed as a character from the comic books. Two to be exact! "There are two characters who would probably fall into that category. Were we to do it, they would be characters from the comics that you already know." What do you guys think?

Any Arrow scoop on Ray suiting up as The Atom? — Stella

Yeah, he’ll be more like Laurel than Oliver. “He’s definitely a sloppy superhero in the sense of all of our characters don’t immediately have the easiest time fighting crime,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. “I would say episode 19 really digs underneath what does it mean for Ray to be a hero. Is he a hero because of who he is? Or is he a hero because of the suit that he’s made.

The changes made to Felicity over the course of the show have kinda hurt the character. Simple as that.

Agreed.

I'm still holding out hope that we'll one day hear Werner say, "It's Count Vertigo to you, peasant."

Do not watch the Warner Asia trailer for "The Retun" or if you do spoiler talk about it. I read that there is a big spoiler in it, don't know what it is and don't want to know.

 

[Spider-Ock]

Yes, indeed. The Asia Promo basically revealed one of the bigger plot twists on this show. If ya guys dont wanna know, then dont click on the spoiler tags below. Warning, this is a BIG plot point...

Spoiler

Apparently Thea finds out that she killed Sara and confronts Malcolm about it

 

[mr. peasant]

Maybe conflating Felicity as Oracle? Just imagine the fan reaction if Felicity got paralysed by a major villain... t:

Alternatively, I don't know why but I wouldn't mind seeing Lance morphing into the show's version of the Question...

Urgh no thank you. I keep watching through this trainwreck of a season hoping it gets better, but if they straight up make Felicity Oracle, I am out.
