You know, the best part about Ray's suit is that, despite being ultra-sophisticated, it apparently has a major, glaring design flaw in the form of an external and unprotected power... thingie... that, when hit with an object, instantly causes the entire suit to shut down. No backup components or redundancy or anything. So much for the guy being a genius!  Then again, I guess that's the only way they could have had Ollie win that fight, since he was so hopelessly outmatched otherwise.

I dunno, Bronze Tiger felt very D-list when he showed up on this show. He seemed to be simply a decent close combat fighter with non-permanent claws, i.e. a lame, non-metahuman version of Wolverine. I know that he has beaten the Batman in the comics but in Arrow he was very ordinary and not a very big threat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC2p3_OJDRw

Best scene of this episode was when the team were discussing what to do in the Arrow Cave and Oliver was whining about how Ra's was using "his city" against him and both Roy and Laurel were like "oh god here we go again  "

HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:Crixus was always kinda a dick overtone posted:He sounds like an ungrateful dick. Probably not the best way to get future roles. ufarn posted:The writing for the character was pretty awful, so good on him for putting and end to him, before it got more corny. He normally seems like a good sport, though, shame on him for being a poo poo about it. I loooove how you guys are going apeshit about this. It's hilarious. The guy should be able to speak his mind freely. Why does that make him a dick again? The character started out amazing but he's totally right that it went in the wrong direction and the writing got horrible. The way he kept talking to Shado's ghost was particularly cringe-worthy, and his appearance in Season 3 was a total joke. I don't agree that it should have been an unstoppable character like in the comics, but still, I'm siding with Bennett on this one, and props to him that he's being vocal about it.

McSpanky posted:I always thought his fighting style should be based on throws and rapid disabling moves so he can quickly get another arrow nocked, like... bow kata. Making him default to fairly generic martial artist choreography like everyone else has always been a minor but persistent pet peeve of mine. Yeah, I agree. An archer should never choose to engage opponents in melee except as a last resort. I'd love to see him kite his opponents more by preparing the battlefield in advance with traps and distractions that slow down and disable opponents so he can shoot them with arrows. Close-quarters combat isn't his strong suit, and despite the decent choreography, it's fairly generic and doesn't help distinguish the character.

Narcissus1916 posted:Marco Polo was designed from the get-go as Netflix's attempt to capture a huge international market. The american numbers it pulls are totally besides the point. As is, apparently, quality. I think it's a high quality show, it just has issues with a bit of the writing and some of the characters (including the main character).

TyrantWD posted:I'm not sure how much bang for buck Netflix got out of it, when it seemed to be on the radar for the general public for about 10-14 days. HBO on the other hand gets to milk GoT for three months. Daredevil is going to have a similar problem. As good as it may be, it's going to be out of mind by next weekend (and for a genre that really benefits from audience reaction, and social media hype, its going to miss a lot of that). I don't get why Netflix don't move new shows to a weekly release schedule. Their Marvel properties alone would get them nearly year round coverage of new releases and word of mouth promotion. They got enough bang for their buck from Marco Polo to renew it for a second season. If they market it better and fix some of the writing, it has the potential to be a very very good show. Not as good as GoT perhaps (naturally) but enough to pave the way for more exclusives in the same genre.

Rirse posted:Finally caught up with this and Flash and I honestly love Flash a lot more, even through I still like Arrow a lot. That said, I thinking it might be time for Captain Lance to die since it feeling like his character is just trending water at this point. And with Sara dead, there just not a whole lot with him to do except yell at Laurel and yell at Arrow while ignoring that whole 'has a medical condition' from earlier in the season. Yeah, I hate that they are ignoring that, since it was supposed to be a major character development arc. It's really confusing to see him running around and even fighting since he isn't supposed to be able to do that without getting hospitalized basically.

Blackchamber posted:It's just really dumb that theres this immortal guy shaping the course of humanity, destroying cities, etc and theres a prophecy that once day he will be replaced. A freakin prophecy. Or you know, whenever he feels like just handing over the reigns. Really the prophecy should have read "The man who doesn’t perish at the blade of Ra’s al Ghul will become the new Ra’s al Ghul, or like some random guys you find. Or your kid maybe. Somebody, anybody." Where did you get the idea that Ra's is immortal? He's a few hundred years old at best, and only because of his pool of vitamin water.

Blackchamber posted:Well I thought about it a little more and really I can't fault them that much. They wanted to do a story where the good guy goes bad and his friends have to stop him, but they also didn't want to make it so the hero was REALLY a homicidal rear end in a top hat because theyd always have that stigma. Except Arrow already has that stigma.

Mooseontheloose posted:I do think the final fight between Ollie and Ras was shot poorly. Their first fight, by contrast was filmed and choreographed amazingly and I love that Matt Nable looked so effortless in taking Ollie down. The final fight you didn't see much. I would of liked it to be more like that 3 minute short they did. The first stab Ollie delivers is incredibly fake and you can actually see his sword to Ras's side. Like, they didn't even bother concealing it in post-production. I also like that Ollie ate three high-powered sniper rounds to the chest and survived because "League armor." And yet throughout the season we saw Diggle drop League henchmen left and right with a simple handgun. Anyway, I'm probably out next season. There's just so many good comic shows right now, and even more coming out in the Fall. I might binge through it next summer to kill time.

Major mistakes of this season: - The flashbacks were incredibly dull and pointless. - Felicity went from an awesome character to a whiny little drama queen. In fact the whole Olicity thing was a huge clusterfuck and should never have been done. - Merlyn kept playing a huge role and it kept getting less and less believable. The team's whole "merlyn, we know you're a horrible, horrible person and a liar and mass-murderer but we're going to work with you... again" is just so incredibly stupid at this point. - The league started out extremely menacing, with a single league henchman able to pose a significant threat. By the end of the season they were just fodder, and impossible to take seriously. - Lazarus Pit not driving Thea insane permanently. She just slept it off. - Ray hosed over Felicity by having her sign a paper that turned out to be a colossally important document (transfer of ownership)? Wow. The only redeeming thing is that Laurel's character seemed to be on an upward trajectory. She went from completely insufferable to average. Gonna be interesting how they keep her relevant next season since it'll be in Coast City and she's in Starling.

Bad Moon posted:It's not that Oliver is Batman that's bad, it's that he's the lovely navel gazing parts of Batman. The show is a lot better when Oliver isn't agonizing about his convictions and fretting about everything and everyone. Fight more crime, shoot more trick arrows, out wit your opponents. Be a loving costumed vigilante. I think I've said this before: the dude is an archer, but relies way too much on hand-to-hand combat. I think this is because the producers think choreography is what makes people watch the show. He should focus on kiting, tricking and disabling opponents using a large variety of arrows instead of shooting one or two and willingly close in on them. Web arrows that hamper the target's movement. Oil arrows that make the floor slippery. EMP arrows that disable electronics. Sleep arrows that knock people out. Basically he should be doing more of this:
