Arrow S5 |OT| You thought you were out, but Manu Bennett pulls you back in.
- Thread starter ZeroX03
- Start date
Vigilante really should be Tommy.
I know the actor is busy, character is dead, but it's the one thing Arrow has left that'd fuck with Oliver.

I wish I could believe Malcolm was dead, but then who would remind Thea that she's his daughter for the 18 millionth time?
Good finale. Nice fight scenes. It was cool seeing all the characters meet up and I'm sure they're all totally blown up right now.
P.S. Manu is sexy af.

Part of me don't think Malcolm is dead. The dude's name in the League of Assassins is The Magician.
I'm sure he had some shit up his sleeves. It wouldn't surprise me if he show up in Season 7 and you see a flashback of him doing some fuckery and somehow survived that.

Also I don't want to or need to know how Chase planned everything. Chase is just Zemo from Civil War with a lot more prep time and 1000x more meticulous. It's not unrealistic that he is always 10 steps ahead of Oliver because he spent years studying Oliver and every possible paths Oliver could take.
Honestly, Oliver have never been in control this season. Chase strung him along like a damn puppet and the fact that we don't even know how he does all these things is the scariest part about him. The worst thing isn't that he is 10 steps ahead of you, is that you don't even know how he's doing it.

Plus, remember how the Unabomber was on set? That's how all the bombs for there, I'll bet.
Even better: have him show up and never explain how in the hell he escaped.
We can all dream
I would actually take felicity living if it meant curtis dies. Or at least make the character not entirely useless.
Curtis was finally coming into his own... kinda.. with his T-Spheres.
I would not miss the "balls" jokes.

They can disagree and be wrong, the retreading is a fact. Only the being good or not is opinion.
I'm far from the only one pointing of the repeating.
If you really read my posts you'd know
- Queen Industries swapped out for Mayor's Office (His closest ally is secretly evil, shh it a surprise).
- Training up Roy and...wait I mean Mad Dog and co.
- Arrow/Green Arrow getting set up by bad guy so police after him again.
- Another friends fight with alcoholism.
- New Canary in training cos last one died.
- Dark Archer II ( Malcolm owns that already btw).
- You like killing Oliver! This is totally a new revelation, blame flashpoint for why this is new again?! Ain't gotta explain shit.
Etc etc.
It's been a boring season for new story unless you're forgetting previous ones.
As for chase (nicking this from flash thread).
The big bad has bullshit levels of foresight and knowledge of things he couldn't possibly know to the point he isn't believable or interesting, a character with no flaws is boring, and that is what he is. Marty Sue.
Here he is battling Oliver in comic form. Literally every time Oliver think he has upper hand.
Awful.
and somehow having more of the same is preferable?
I don't see how sidekicks, which is the most common hero thing ever, is a sign of creative bankrupcy
I mean Ollie has killed a lot of people
Shit better to an AAA meeting and tell them that their problems are unreal and uncreative. The context of the character is much more important anyways.
New Wells comes by cause last one died
Merlyn rivaled Oliver for the longest time. He won in S1. There's a difference between being a dark archer and training to beat someone you hate with a burning passion.

Feels like they were setting up Helix for something bigger, with the no-face leader and all.
That and Vigilante.

Since they added Superman on screen to Supergirl. Would it be out of possibility to see Batman in Arrow at some point?
If Gotham didn't exist, maybe. Aside from that, that Superman is a complete jobber.

Such is usually the case if Supes is a co-star.
One of Bats' typical Rogues shows up and while Arrow is fighting him he gets knocked out by a batarang.
I highly doubt we'd see that. Batman is essentially WB's biggest DC Star, so the chances of him showing up anywhere but the big screen is slime to none.

Doubtful. Although Gotham and Batman exist on Supergirl's Earth.
Who knows. The Batman on Supergirl would be older than Affleck's Batman. Maybe retired.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
This is why we gotta push for Batman 66 to be integrated into the Arrowverse. Then we can have Adam West show up as a Matches Malone who is searching for a young woman he once knew... Talia Al Ghul.

Don't make this personal. It's childish.
Don't​ misquote and misrepresent my posts either, if you cannot understand a post don't pretend like you do.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
DC seems a lot more protective of Batman (and The BatFamily + Joker) than they are of Superman. Gotham's Jerome is basically a proto-Joker, but he's also the only younger version of a villain they haven't just outright confirmed is who he appears to be.
Superman on the other hand got tons of villains adapted in the 90s with Lois & Clark, and in the 2000s with Smallville. We still haven't gotten a live action Batman series. Kinda feels like they wanted Arrow to fill that gap.

What this stuff I've been seeing about barrowman leaving completely. Didn't he just sign on to be used across all the cw shows?

For the seasons that just aired only?

I vaguely recall Smallville originally was about Bruce (I could phrase that better) in a post-Batman&Robin time when the brand was damaged. But now, not so much.

Oh was that for this current season? For some reason I thought it was for future

Personally I don't think this season was that good, the new recruits for team arrow ruined everything for me, I don't like any of them. And I don't think the last 10 seconds of the finale were that good when we know they don't have what it takes to
the characters on the island. Glad that people enjoyed the season anyway.
kill
Prob October or so. But be on Netflix next week
Yea, Curtis is not a funny dude.

There's still Helix which I still assume had some tie to Chase.
Yeah, Gough and Millar originally wanted to make a show about a young Bruce Wayne but WB was already trying to get a Batman reboot made and offered them Clark instead.

Barrowman is gone completely? He actually died there? Damn, thought there would be a swerve
Solid season overall. I actually thought Chase was a bit corny and I was tired of the whole "your past comes to haunt you" stuff they've been doing for so long. But it definitely picked up in these last two episodes. Good stuff Arrow team.

The swerve will work better if we assume he is dead for a year. He had been a bit too present as well.

Malcom pulled Digger in, leaving him standing on the landmine.
No, he just exploded but by miracle, only the unnamed ninja are dead.
True, guess they left it open so that they can use him again if necessary. There's always a way. Can't be just killing off Boomerang like that either...

Sorry but the night is darkest just before dawn...
Honestly as bad as 3&4 are 5 was so good it absolutely made up for it.
Katana still alive, if she technically counts.
Boomerangs come back tho

Superman was a desperate move because you can't have Supergirl without direct Superman references.
S1 did it so terribly and with changing networks it was basically a marketing stunt.
Arrow doesn't need Batman so WB wouldn't approve of it.
However I still think
1. Supergirl will eventually use Batwoman
2. Teen Titans will use Batman in some form
