Late to the Game - Arrow is pretty good!
Posted by TygerTyger on 2/5/16 at 10:17 am40
I know, I'm very late to the game but I've been binge watching Arrow and I've got to say, it's pretty damn good. I'm about half way through season 2. Nyssa just showed up
Observations so far:
- Oliver is a likable guy, with some flaws that make him believable. But I don't like that his pride gets in the way sometimes and strains his relationships. It takes him way too long to apologies to Diggle and others. But hey, I like the guy a lot.
- I love the flash back origin story method. I'm on season 2 and he's only been on the island about a year or less. I like how the things that happened to him on the island parallel with what he's dealing with in the now.
- Thea is a little hottie
- Laurel's plastic surgery and weight loss between seasons 1 and 2 were a BIG mistake. The chin implant elongated her face way too much and she looks like the Joker now. And the writers have made her character a whiny mess.
- I liked it better when Ollie would straight up kill people.
- Some of the bad guys of the week are weakly written, but others are good adversaries for Ollie. Malcolm Merlyn is a badass.
- I'm looking forward to seeing the Flash crossovers from the Arrow perspective. I'm all caught up on Flash, so I've only seen the Flash sides of those stories. I like how they brought Barry in before he became the Flash. Getting to see more of his background was fun.
- The first season Sara was WAY hotter than the butterface that's now playing her. Good lord, that mouth and chin are horrendously distracting. All I can think of when they close up on her face is this:
I know there's been several Arrow threads on here, but I avoided them since I didn't watch. I am really liking the show so I thought I'd start a new conversation in case someone wanted to chime in.
If not,

I watched about half of the pilot and lost interest. It just isn't really my thing, but I have a friend who swears by it and wants me to give it another shot. I just don't really have the motivation though.

Arrow is not a good show - it's mediocre at best. I made it about 1.5 seasons before stopping.
Plus, it's the CW. Hard to watch shitty production value after watching quality shows from the major players.

Season 3 is not as good as the first two seasons, but I wouldn't say it was bad. Season 4 is probably somewhere in between at this point. If you're liking it to this point you'll be fine.

season 3 definitely was bad. weak season villain arch and they nuked felicity's character. this year has been better

S4 has been a good step in the right direction. S3 gets destroyed, but it did have some good moments.
S2 on the other hand is to me of the best season a TV show has done in recent memory. Slade > all

Season 2 was really good, as was the second half of season 1. Season 3 didn't come close meeting their level. But season 4 has been pretty entertaining (although still not near the level of season 2).

Seasons 1 & 2 are fantastic. 3 is pure garbage, 4 is slightly better, but suffers from too many heroes that you can't take seriously.

JimMorrison is not a good poster - he's mediocre at best. I made it about half way through his post before stopping.

Yeah, Slade is great. I'm at the part of the story line where he's out to get Ollie and behind Sebastian Blood.
I still can't believe they killed Shado!!!!!!!!! I would straight up marry that girl. So pretty in a hot and sweet kind of way.
Felicity is one of the best written and acted characters by far. Dat arse don't hurt none either
I'll make it through season 3, I am a "completionist" in all things book, tv, and gaming. Once I've started something it takes a hell of a lot to keep me from finishing it.

You're definitely not going to like season 3 then.

I think what happened with arrow is that they used it for a spring board for so many new shows that it kinda lost its way.
Hopefully they are getting it back now

You may still not like the series, but the tone of the show shifted pretty hard. The first season started at a very slow pace.

Just trying to get his mind right
She was never my favorite but what happened to her in season 3 was just amazingly shite

After what they did to her in season 3, I was hoping they'd kill her arse off this season...but that doesn't appear to be in the cards now.
