Arrow Arrow General Discussion Thread - Part 6

I still think it's ridiculous that the Newspapers keep calling him the hood. He's a vigilante dressed in green, who's m.o. is using a bow and arrows. And the most outstanding feature they can think of is his hood? OK, it works story wise for Ollie himself, as he transforms from a violent vigilante, into a hero that gives the people hope. But realistically, it's unbelievable to think that the newspapers don't have more imagination.

I would have expected the media/cops to call him something like "The Archer" or "The Bowman" or something like that.

In real life they would have called him Robin Hood

 

[Loki882]

Ok, I take it back. Calling him Robin Hood would have been even dumber than calling him The Hood.

Good episode, would have upgraded the costume aswell and give him a domino mask or high tech goggles. I really hate the face paint.

+1000. In a way the face paint doesn't make sense. He needs something (Like a mask or goggles) that can be quickly worn or removed. I find it hard to believe Arrow carries a jar of cold cream and tissues around to remove the makeup when he switches back to Oliver Queen. That really is the only issue I have with the costume.

I don't know, I find it perfectly believable. The Media have a woeful lack of imagination sometimes.

Enjoyed last night's episode and the season is off to a great start. So many things going on and a lot of story paths laid out. Solid debut, bring on next week!

I also knew they weren't going to go full blown with the "I want to be called Green Arrow!" line after Ollie said he doesn't want the name The Hood anymore. I saw people on other sites betting he'd already take the GA name. Glad we got Canary though. Really can't wait for more.

Here's a picture of Roy fighting the copycats:

Haha yeah that really stuck out for me, looked a bit strange.

 

[Frico]

Easily noticed that as well, haha.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Barry Allen is in episode 3 right? Flash in the 20's

 

[king666]

Perhaps when Roy joins Ollie, he'll point out that he can't also be called Arrow, so they designate colours for each.

Yep, that's what I thought. Two vigilantes (Oliver and Roy), two "Arrows" (Green Arrow and Red Arrow).

 

[Primal Slayer]

Katie Cassidy did something to her face. Every time Laurel came on screen it distracted me.

No ep 8.

 

[Human Torch]

Here's a picture of Roy fighting the copycats:

Looks like a copycat Roy.

 

[Nathan]

It can't be unseen.

 

[Dr Lee]

Stuntman fail...

 

[Sawyer]

More like editing room fail.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Yep, that's what I thought. Two vigilantes (Oliver and Roy), two "Arrows" (Green Arrow and Red Arrow).

I want Oliver to be called Green Arrow, but I think Roy should be Arsenal to differentiate him.

Also, I think the destruction of the Glades would have been a excuse to have the city changed from Starling City to Star City as part of a rebranding effort to distance it from the attack.

 

[Reek]

Olivers self imposed exile was completely wasted. that pissed me off.

 

[Boy Scout]

Olivers self imposed exile was completely wasted. that pissed me off.

Agreed. They were there for less than 5 minutes.

 

[Loki882]

I much prefer it being dealt with quickly than to have Oliver spend the first part of the season moping on an island, that would be annoying to watch.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

More like editing room fail.

There was tons of sloppy editing in this episode.

Someone should be fired.

What was the point of sending him back to the island - a place of great significance - if they weren't going to have it actually mean something? He might as well have actually gone to Europe.
