No man. This is CW. You know just as sure as the sky is blue, they will f this up. It's a wonder they haven't f-ed up Supernatural, even though they tried to get it cancelled numerous times. Why even call it Arrow? Why not just call it Robin Hood? He has more in common with him than GA honestly. GA is a bleeding liberal hippie who fights for the little man. But again, I'm not complaining because I did like the first episode but just don't understand why CW/WB always changes their characters instead of staying true to their roots. Marvel did well with Captain America and Thor, tweeking the characters but yet not coming off corny and going way off base. I just wish WB would do the same.
This! He's an underdog going up against bad guys that he should not be able to. Comic version of GA going up against comic book Deathstroke shouldn't stand a chance but he does and that's what draws you to the character. He also stood up against a space cowboy who has saved galaxies and other worlds because he was willing to lay it all out for green and purple beings but not for black and brown people on Earth. That's what Ollie is about. This Arrow seems more like the Punisher/Batman than he does GA. But again, I liked the first episode but IMHO it's far from perfect and I think they tried to be dark and gritty. But like this certain guy said on another website "This show isn't dark and gritty, it only thinks it is." And again, I like the episode but man did they deviate from the character.
