Hollismason posted:I kind of wonder which parts of the preview are from Arrow and which are from The Flash. It really takes time to sink in doesn't it? Seriously, if a few years ago someone told me this was going to be a thing happening on tv I would have called them a liar. If they told me I would be watching anything the CW I would have thought they were insane.

boom boom boom posted:Of course the DJ is working for the League of Assassins, if he isn't then the scenes he was in are the most aggressively pointless scenes in the history of television. I would still say resurrection is another step up. Yes, the flash guesting means full superpowers could now be in play, but at the same time being able to bring back the dead potentially kills a a lot of the drama. If death is not final, it under cuts the way the arrow is plotted. Repeatedly the show has used death of a loved one as the principle motivation for its characters.

Xealot posted:I was really hoping for a riff on Roy's addiction arc, where the fallout of taking and being cured of Mirakuru left him desperate to be as strong as he briefly was. It'd make sense for Roy to miss being supernaturally strong, and to feel overwhelmed and weak as a regular person. And tweaking on a bunch of performance drugs would totally fit the show. The Laurel substance arc was such a smashing success that they just had to replicate it for season 3.

Thea was talking to him on the phone in the crossover episode.

Scyantific posted:Ra's al-Ghul's co-creator Dennis O'Neill approves of Matt Nable's portrayal of the character It's not a spoiler. Dennis O'Neill doesn't work on the show. He is not saying whether or not they are going to use the Lazarus pits, he is just noting that adaptations of Ra's al Ghul frequently drop that part of the character. He finds that funny since he thinks the image of Ra's rising from the boiling green pit is the most iconic image of the character.

ashez2ashes posted:Was there ever any explanation why? Is it just because they want to push the Jaime instead? Alien-power based Jaime wouldn't fit this show at all. I hope it wasn't some stupid DC comics reasons. My understanding is that relatively last minute DC told them they couldn't use Ted Kord without giving further explanation. Since I doubt they are going to use Kord elsewhere, my guess is they are thinking of using Jaime somewhere(maybe the teen titans show that TNT is developing) and don't want more than one Blue Beetle. But again that's just my speculation. thebardyspoon posted:So that's included in the season pass I got for like, £2 during the steam sale right? Awesome if so.

Rurea posted:So over the Christmas break while visiting with family I was catching up on Season 3 and my mom watched bits and pieces of episodes and said she wanted to watch from the beginning. She didn't see anything really spoilery except that oliver and felicity are pseudo-in-love and that roy is arsenal now. ANYWAY, I started rewatching the series with her from season 1 and I have found her critique/opinions of the show hilarious. We are just about done with season 1 and here are a few of her thoughts so far: This is pretty funny. I'm surprised that someone who has no interest in comic book/superhero media would want to watch this show. Out of curiosity, what interested her about it? "Oliver needs to get his poo poo together and make up his mind" Also, what particularly was she referring to with this? There a lot of different ways Oliver needs to get his poo poo together.

VDay posted:To be fair, Oliver got stabbed in the chest as opposed to the heart, which in TV land might as well be a scratch if the writers want it to be. I could see him being recovered right after he fell and slowly nursed back to health with the stab wound being hand-waved away as "a very serious injury that almost killed you" or something similar. I mean, it'd feel pretty cheap to just have Oliver recover from a fight to the death with Ras by putting some scooby-doo bandaids on his wounds and having him take some magic flintstones vitamins, but it certainly isn't unthinkable. Well a perforated lung will kill you too, particular when combined with a steep vertical drop and hypothermia. I do like that he acknowledged that Oliver's bag of herbs are basically magic.

Deal with it. The thing I love most about this is in terms of skill and experience Roy is miles ahead of Laurel and Diggle is miles ahead of Roy. So of course, he is the one left behind for mission control.

It seems really weird that they would allow Ra's but veto Talia. I just sort of assumed they went with Nyssa since she is less familiar to audience and so they are a bit freer in how they write her.

VBane posted:I can get why the revelation today soured Thea of Merlyn. Yeah. He had been lieing to and manipulating her the entire time, and she suddenly realized that. She thought he was the only person she could rely on. Merlyn emphasized how untrustworthy and unreliable Olly to her despite knowing the truth, as a way of driving them apart, and getting her progressively more under his influence. Before the revaluation, she had thought he had reformed and was legitimately remorseful for what he had done. Afterwards, she realized he has never stopped manipulating and plotting, and even if she doesn't know to what ends, she realizes he is the exact same person who planned and committed mass murder. Neon Knight posted:When they hugged it out Thea put on a pretty blank expression when he wasn't looking, it was not a heartfelt moment for her and she already new he was Arrow. I just rewatched that scene. I didn't catch a black expression and she is crying when she hugs him. I'm pretty positive it's genuine.

XboxPants posted:Don't get too upset about this, it isn't actually a thing. This is completely just an assumption on the part of fans. There was a so-called "bat embargo" in place against having Batman stuff on TV a decade ago, but clearly that's no longer the case. I'm sure if Guggenheim wanted Batman to show up on Arrow it would be very tricky for him, and his request might be turned down in the end, but there's no reason to believe he's not even allowed to make that request. He just doesn't even want Batman to show up. http://io9.com/confirmed-batman-and-superman-are-off-limits-for-arrow-1662696484 No, they have flat out said that somethings are so off limits that there is no point in asking. I think DC gave them a freer hand with what they could use starting in the second season, but for the most valuable IP's (and stuff that is being developed elsewhere) they are off limits. I've seen in other interviews that they said they meet with DC representatives about 4-5 times a year and go over what characters they want to use and DC permits, denies, offers guild lines, ect. Hell, I've even heard of cases where Warner Brothers overrides DC's decisions on what they are doing with characters in the comics themselves. Obviously, some things are surprises, such as getting to use Ra's, but I imagine that outside of batman/superman themselves being completely off limits, it can be hard to guess what will or will not be allowed.

I assume it has nothing to do with Charlton comics, being that they have allowed the Question, and captain Atom to be used in the past. According to the show runners DC told they "have other plans for the character". Said plans are likely leave him in an attic till it forgotten entirely that there was a different Blue Beetle before Jaime Reyes.

boom boom boom posted:I think the problem with this season, beyond the obviously weaker flashbacks, is that it felt like it wasn't progressing much in the beginning."We have to find Sarah's killer!" next episode, "we still need to find Sarah's killer!" next episode, "we continue to need to find Sarah's killer!" and through it all, they made zero progress towards finding Sarah's killer. Finding Sara's killer sounds like a good half season long arch on paper, but there just wasn't enough mystery there to be remotely worthwhile. If it was more complicated they could have the cast gradually put together clues and close in to the killer, but there really wasn't anything to investigate. It had to be one of the already introduced significant characters so there was only 3-4 people it could feasibly be. So they just ended up writing a string of pointless red herrings that did nothing to hide the fact they were just marking time till the mid season finale reveal so the plot could finally start moving.

Deadpool posted:Because Harley is a hard character to make work.There's a very fine line with that character and I think very few people have ever been able to get anything good out of her. The only time the character has really clicked well I think was in the original Batman cartoon she came from. I would agree with this. Add to it the fact that BtAS was a children's cartoon, though with a lot of mature elements, which let them keep things light overall. Arrow is a show that leans heavy on dark and melodramatic.

King of Solomon posted:Magic and the supernatural, eh? I could get behind that. Bring on Zatanna or something, that would be fun. I've gotta say, I really like the trend these comic shows are setting of having a separate program to run during the midseason break, it's really cool. Guggenheim has said before he wants Vixen, both the character and the show, to represent the magical side of comics in the CW verse (with Flash being science and Arrow being street). It's one of the things that makes me pretty sure she is going to show up in live action as well.

King of Solomon posted:The thing I drew from the quote in the article is that Guggenheim wants to have magic and the supernatural in Arrow proper, not in another spinoff. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58392 Here is the interview I was thinking of, and the particular quite. Guggenheim posted:And Vixen's such a great character. First of all, she represents magic, which is an area that we haven't explored on either of the two shows just yet. One thing we're always saying is, "'Flash' is very different from 'Arrow,' 'Arrow' is very different from 'Flash.'" If "Arrow" is crime and "The Flash" is science, "Vixen" has a big magic component. My take away was that magic in Arrow will be like superpower. There is limited superpowers on Arrow, even though that is what Flash is all about. They intent to introduce magic into Arrow and establish, "yes it as part of the world", but at the same time it will only have a limited presence from time to time. In contrast, Magic and magical elements will be a much larger focus in Vixen. Though your right in that it sounds like Guggenheim also wants magic and the occult to have a bigger presence in Arrow relative to superpowers. I think if they want to introduce magic start with acknowledging how bullshit Oliver's cure anything herbs have been.

Deadpool posted:When the guy that tried to murder you tells you that you can run his murder cult the way you want you probably wouldn't believe him. Sure Ra's might have been on the level, but who can say for sure. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you can opt out of after a week if it doesn't work for you. I think it's similar to how Ra's made Oliver an offer, and then Merlyn and Masoe pointed out it wasn't so much an offer as Ra's telling Oliver how it's going to be. Hypothetically, he can run it how he wants once he is the new Ra', but in it doesn't turn out that way. My guess is anyone who accepts and goes through all the training to be the next Ra's develops similar views by the end. also,  Nissa made a friend. Maybe Laurel knows magic tricks.
