So, a lot of people have a serious issue with them not calling him Green Arrow yet. Here's my thoughts:
Share your thoughts.
- The Name is Corny, very Silver Age-y and not natural to use/come up with in a modern time
- Newspapers don't give out cute nicknames to killers, if you've noticed
- The show is trying its best to be realistic
- They should probably have a realistic way of coming up with the name, right?
- The show should be on for a while, so it's not really a rush, is it?
- Right now, Oliver isn't a superhero - he isn't trying to represent something, have an image, or anything like that
- For the story they're telling, which is really about how Green Arrow comes to be, having this period where he doesn't quite know his destiny, makes it better
- With a story like this, when the name finally comes out of the story, instead of a rushed 'make it like the comics' one liner, it means something, it represents something, even if you've never read the comics, it means something important in this story.
