The trailer looks great. I cannot wait.

 

[antsman41]

It just looks like more of the same...

"The Green Acres" intro looks weird.

S2 kept outdoing itself episode after episode, S3 was only good... didn't excel past itself.

Hopefully they surprise me.

 

[SpideyVille]

I need to re-watch the trailer again to "analyze" it and every detail.

But so far, it looks promising overall. I like the action emphasis, looks like a lot of things are going to be happening in the few episodes they've shot thus far. But the only thing I see worse than Olicity is .... having Felicity become a "physical badass". It just feels more and more like they're trying to make sure she's the female lead from this point on.

On te bright side though, looks like Laurel is officially Wig-less

 

[Kar]

Eh...it was okay. Season 2 midseason trailer was better than that. But it does open up se questions. Apparently Ollie is being a vigilante in Coast City,perhaps.Could be what really inspired him to become the Arrow. Maybe in the flashbacks he and Hal do some team up superhero work?

Not sure how I feel about the fact Oliver Queen is settled down in a suburban neighborhood like he's not Oliver Oliver Queen that just got accused of being the Arrow twice. I figured they'd been on a beach or something.But whatever. This season does look a little on the lighter side or maybe its just me.We're probably finally getting that tone we wanted out of Green Arrow.

I believe the producers were going for that tone.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Looks decent to me, I didn't hateseason3 but it was certainly lacking, season 4 looks like an improvement to me. And seeing Constantine was great.

 

[SpideyVille]

The opening shot reminds me of how Supernatural Season 6 opened, which was after their own "series finale" type ending in season 5. Funny enough, I never finished watching season 6 past the first few episodes.

Upon a second viewing, it seems like they will be lightening things up, but season 1 and 2 weren't exactly dark as they were gritty. Theyseem to be going more towards that route again, which I don't mind, as long as they keep an emphasis on physical action and real fights, as opposed to deceptive fights and camera tricks to save time. The deleted stunt stuff is a good example of how they could've have just continued moving forward and still be effective, as opposed to cutting that and making room for pointless drama.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

I believe there will be a lot of action scenes as James bamford said himself a while ago. They really need to rekindle Oliver/Diggle relationship soon because it won't be fun not working together

 

[Reek]

It certainly looks better than last season... but thats not saying much. I'll watch the first half season and if its CW-ness shows like like seasons, I'll stick to the Flash.

I'm not a fan of the voice disguise thing... it sounds really dumb

"Since when are you such a badass?"
"Since always."

Yeah, they definitely learned from last season's lack of action and it seems like they're trying to make up for last season without admitting it wasn't great.

As for Diggle vs Oliver, it's another case of drama for the sake of drama. I get why Diggle is mad and I don't blame him, but they are clearly dragging it out to create some type of new drama to spice things up.

Arrow 3.5 you bet since 2.5 ended.

 

[yonny616]

It was fine trailer. Nothing special, disappointing overall to be honest. Though it does have some things I like. Constantine and Thea probably going crazy being two of them.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

being a bad ass do not mean physical it could not scare of Oliver in the back of her car, and all that season 1 stuff

I don't think the action was a overly big issue as it was with the story the writers were pushing with lack of logic and common sense among other thing's that really hurt the show.

As I said before I'm sure the action will be fine. the other stuff (as in story and more) we'll see when the season airs. cause the action minus a few things unless you really looked like noticing stunt doubles and more wasn't the noticeable flaws that casue problem and split the fan base into fragments it was reason of the story's and poor chose's from the from the writers that were in question for the show.


There may have some slow down in the rampant pace but there other issues at play.

And hopefully that's what truly made up for all from last season. the action is easy to fix . it's have learned from the other stuff?

 

[Fincher]

Not that you can really tell by a promo, but I think it makes it look good. You can read into stuff based on the previous season, but for example, Felicity didn't pull out some ninja moves on that guy. She kicked him in the leg like a non-combatant would and was scared afterward.

 

[Sithborg]

Man, the state of things when you think "too much Felicity"...

 

[Primal Slayer]

The trailer was good.

Black Canary was BAD.ASS. and wigless

Speedy was Bad.ASS. and lethal. LOVE that she has a sword as part of her weaponry and it looks like she will have a problem going to far with the bad guys.

Diggle.....sure his action scenes will be good but that helmet looked no better to me. He and Oliver will be working together more it seems.

We see Merlyn/Nyssa/Laurel(?) at Saras rebirth which doesn't seem as good as the one that was shot for LoT, plus she seems to have on a corset like top.

Nyssa vs. Merlyn, probably because of Sara since he is holding her back when Sara rises.

Felicity makes Olivers new costume, no surprise there.

Felicity is "badass" which I don't mind, I think she will be so much more enjoyable this season then last. Though I am not a fan of her playing a role in Curtis Holts rise to Mister Terrific, just as Cisco naming all the good guys/bad guys, creating their costumes/weaponary are already played out after 1 season, Felicity being the catalyst for yet ANOTHER hero (4th now) is beyond played out.

These "Ghosts" are more badass then the LoA....which I will try not to be snarky about though it is funny that the entire team could handle the LoA last year but these guys will be to tough. I'm getting Power Rangers flashbacks of them needing new zords every year for the "stronger" villains. But ill try to block out that specific part.

t just feels more and more like they're trying to make sure she's the female lead from this point on.

These writers have literately taken everything from Laurel that makes her unique and given it to everyone else so I would not be surprised.

 

[Boy Scout]

It's also pretty clear that Felicity's response ("Since always!") is meant to be funny. If season three hadn't happened, we'd have all probably found it hilarious.

 

[Mikelus]

I don't think the action was a overly big issue as it was with the story the writers were pushing with lack of logic and common sense among other thing's that really hurt the show.

Agreed, there was enough action, although it was too fake sometimes unlike the first two seasons. The main issues last season were poor storytelling and characterization.

On the trailer, it was bland for the most part, only crazy Thea was noteworthy and Constantine of course. Diggle's suit looks awful and Damien Darhk thinking the Arrow was dead makes him incompetent and stupid, the whole LOA knows Oliver was the Arrow, but not Darhk? He really thinks Roy, who's obviously smaller, was the Arrow, really? He should be better informed and much smarter than that, so the bad writing continues. The producers don't seem to care anymore and prefer pandering to shippers than designing great suits for their characters and writing stories that make sense and don't insult our intelligence. We'll see, but is not looking very promising to be honest, the Flash seems more interesting and Daredevil is what Arrow could be with great writing and no CW crap.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

who says Darkh don't know about Oliver obviously playing with him

 

[Primal Slayer]

vs.

 

[Paradox1]

The only complaint I have about the trailer was the music was weak to me. For me I like the music in trailers to set a tone about what I'm going to see. This music was kinda just there.

Now what I did like and story lines most interesting to me right now is Mr. Terrific and Felicity their scenes look like they are going to be a lot of fun. The other storylines I'm excited to see is what's up with Speedy. She looks to be going psycho and I like it a lot. The other is Diggle and Oliver can the bromance these characters once shared every be repaired. In theory I know it will but I wouldn't mind if Diggle made a stink about it. The last being Damien Dahrk the actor playing him bringing something good to the role that I can't wait to see more of.

 

[Lencho01]

The trailer was kind weird to me.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Badass trailer, the bike action looks great, The Ghosts are a neat idea and the Felicity and Curtis dynamic looks like it will be fun. Also Damien Darkh is suitably menacing, just wish we'd got a look at Anarky's costume.

The anti-vigilante task force is a good idea if people get past the Batman-ness of it.

Digg's helmet looked better in action at night with the visor down, and him and Ollie trying to repair their friendship and brotherhood is one of the story's I'm most looking forward to.

Loved the shot of Canary and Speedy on the bike and both women kicking ass. It looks like Speedy is going to be dealing with some issues relating to her time in the pit, not to mention that her training was training that taught her to finish her enemy.

who says Darkh don't know about Oliver obviously playing with him

Exactly, the smug way he said it was pretty obvious.
