A big difference between Arrow and Batman is, that Arrow actually kills
Only for the first season
@Dylan Blackham He killed Dark in the 4th season.
Green Arrow*
He kills for the RIGHT reason.
There's a comic on that batman hunting the green arrow for being a killer also I like the cws arrow it's more for adults then a child's TV show a plus for me.
Well for Roy Harpers drug use arc it was just replaced with Mirakuru instead of heroin
Replaced with thea
Jake Brown That’s what I was thinking! This title rustled my jimmies because it acted like Arrow made the Green Arrow suck, but it actually brought him more into the spotlight, and made his story and allies more recognizable
Jake Brown
Didn't we also get an episode with the drug Vertigo? I forgot who got addicted to it
MrGamer1992 I think Thea got addicted to Vertigo
MrGamer1992 don't believe anyone from the main cast got addicted to Vertigo in the tv series
Tbh I totally agree with number 1, seriously Green Arrow fighting Batman villains (Ra's al Ghul, Deathstroke, Talia al ghul) and Batman is supposed to be the dark brooding hero, with a sidekick and a wheelchaired tech support, not the Green Arrow, who should have stayed with Black Canary, who Arrowverse killed off.
BrickStudios 105 talia isn’t a villain Nyssa is
Deathstroke is a Teen Titans villain
Yes but manu benett's deatshtroke ist by far the best one(with the back story)
@Kendrick Deshawn Yes he is wtf?
@@andrewlin3612 no he isn't
I do have to say if you ever see Stephen Amill in an interview, HE is more like Oliver Queen than the character he plays. It’s pretty funny
How about getting rid of Laurel for no reason. Great Job writer's.
apparently the reason was Olicity lol
Writer's what? Or did you mean "writers" as a plural
Facts and why replace her with her earth 2 doppelgänger? No sense Olicity is a whole new idea, they ruined the show many ways, if they avoided those ways and just didn’t do any adjust other than maybe a few add ones like Damien Darhk, the show would have been perfect
Because of crap olicity fans.
Yeah well maybe if Laurelpocolypse never happened in season 3 they wouldn't have had to do that.
Something else people seem to forget is that Ollie in the books had an affinity for archery and loved the story of Robin Hood. He didn't just practice and get good at archery, he was good cause his dad was good
Honestly, the whole series sometimes feels like the writes wished they were writing a Batman series instead if a Green Arrow series.
Jason D. Phoenix yep, i stoped watching ir the first Time Ra's al ghul was mentioned
They wanted to make a Batman show but couldn't.
clown4 why
Jason D. Phoenix They are now. The next crossover will bring in Batwoman (Kate Kane). Which I believe will lead into a Batwoman series. And to answer the question as to why Batman isn’t in the Arrowverse, I believe it has to do with the movies. Yes there’s Superman in Supergirl and well Flash, but that was the reason that Slade/Deathstroke was taken out of Arrow and they’d probably do the same with Batman if I had to guess.
Agreed so many batman easter eggs and references
This, in my opinion, should be called "Top 5 Things CW has changed about the Green Arrow", since some of the aspects from the comics would not work in the live action version.
Fasareste I Kurzfilme & mehr agreed
Agreed They are just trying to make money and attract fans of the show. Not paying attention to detail.
Fasareste I Kurzfilme & mehr The rape storyline would be waaaaayyyyyyy too much.
Agreed
Yeah like good writing and no over the top CW relationship drama.
They really fucked up the black canary relationship part
i stopped watching after it got so confusing lol
They should have kept sarah
mike okol they brought her back to life
king savage '97 yea but she no longer black canary she went to legends of tomorrow
mike okol sucks doesn't it😂😂😂
4:55 Harley? Yup that's Harley 😂😂
LeoGang Monty It's Harley
Yup
Lol
LeoGang Monty
That is the one and only time we get to 'see' Harley in Arrow. They basically killed off the Suicide Squad in Arrow because of the movie and there was supposed to be another Harley 'appearance' but it was scrapped
MrGamer1992 yeah but wouldn't she be a little weird with no joker in the arrowverse?
Number 1 - Season 4
Don Leitoso and 5
Season 5 was the best thing in the whole Arrowverse, what are you talking about?
Don Leitoso first off season 1 and 2 were fantastic
Season 1 was great, season 2 was excellent, season 3 was good but a little inconsistent in it's tone and story, season 4 was pretty Average at best and gringworthy (mostly in the second half) at worst, Season 5 was just short of a masterpiece of a season and though 8 episodes season 6 has been a pretty good follow up to season 5
Roronoa Zoro of course they are, that's why I said the fourth one sucks
In the comics, though, Oliver's sister was later known as "Speedy." Even in the show, when trying to get Roy's attention a few times in season 2 Oliver does call him Speedy; only a few times.
And I'm pretty sure Mia is called Speedy in Smallville
I'm surprised they didn't mention killing. In the comic, Ollie has very, very rarely killed. In the show, he had racked up quite the body count and still kills when needs be.
One major flaw with this video. While his “Robin Hood” outfit is his most famous outfit. In the late 80s under Mike Grell, Oliver did wear an outfit the had a hood like the one on the show. So they were actually being accurate to the comics
Doc Jabberwock That is true. l don’t know why the CW changed his outfit back from the season 4 outfit. Even though it was kinda tacky it was still the best and resembled the New 52/Rebirth one
The Black Canary story is Arrow's real and lasting crime and failure. I was expecting to go on this amazing journey of watching Dinah Lance go from average attorney to badass metahuman superhero. Instead her title is treated like nothing more than a series of knockoff Robins.
Now it's like the universe is trying to play damage control with both a new unneeded Black Canary along with a new Earth-2 Dinah Lance.
Should've just finished what it started with Dinah Lance.
Greg Caldwell I mean in the comics it's a title that's passed down, as well. Just in the opposite way. Dinah Drake (newest one) is the original in the comics, and she's Dinah Laurel's mom.
Bob Pickleson All that I know but Sara Lance was already serving as the original Dinah Drake adaptation in the show anyway and the mantle had already been passed down to Laurel making everything Dinah Drake does later seem like a knockoff of either Sara or Laurel. The story wasnt about simply passing down a mantle, it was about family legacy and Drake isn't family and didn't even know Sara or Laurel making her actually look a bit stupid for taking on a name because some strange guy told her she should.
Killing off Black Canary just as she was getting good only to immediately replace her with a knockoff also didn't do the show any favors considering it already had a bad reputation over how it writes women. Then the show actually had the audacity to act as though Laurel had been this amazing and fullfilled superhero when she actually had just gotten started and wasn't even given a grand heroic death.
Gregory Caldwell exactly. It’s so dumb. Laurel became black canary in season 3, she could have been in central city working on a case (which actually makes sense!) and then given the Powers after the accelerator explosion. Then she would go out in secret and fight off people. Then her and Green arrow would meet and he falls for Black Canary who he later learns to actually be Laurel. Just saying arrow knows what they did and they know it ruined the show. The three best seasons of the show (1,2,5) are the best, you know why because their isn’t any olicity drama. And if they want olicity that don’t have to do it in a way that makes us hate it so much
Olicity ruins all
It's funny because the top two are the two problems I have with the show
I really love Green Arrow's personality in the comics. The show's Ollie is such a contrast to his Comic personality and is the reason I haven't moved from the episode I'm in on season 1.
You should watch the show with a clean slate then. Don't think about the comic. Because the show, especially the first two seasons are goated
@@This_is_ash Season 3 is underrated too despite some confusing bit and how they try to make him Batman.
5 and 8 are great. 6 is also underrated despite repeating 3 in some ways
4 and 7…well
The prison arc is ok
I’m probably gonna get my head ripped off for this but I gotta ask... Why do people hate Felicity so much? Iris too for that matter? I don’t see what’s so bad about them.
TheSodorSteamworks
They’re annoying, and add nothing to the show
Usseless and annoying and became the main character voor one season almost
Let's start with Felicity there is many reasons why she is a bad character but theses are my top 2 reasons why , before Ollie died he wanted Felicity to reunite William with Mia so they can grow up together but she never did that that was the last thing Ollie asked her to do and she couldn't even do it . She embarrassed him at iris and Barry's reception all Felicity broke off the engagement I understand why but when they get back together again Oliver wanted to marry her again when they were at the reception and Felicity had to yell ' I don't want to marry you Oliver ' she could have said it quietly to Ollie but she had to yell at him he loves her so much and she doesn't deserve any of it but he still loves her and all she can do is be the negative one in the relationship . Iris , I didn't have a problem with her in the first 2 seasons but once she became Barry's girlfriend she thought that she was so important and they just needed her to join the team but she isn't even useful they could have left her as Barry's girlfriend but even then I don't think she fitted in the show that way in every movie and comic Barry and Iris have this amazing connection but in this show Barry's connection isn't with her I think that Barry shouldn't have her as a wife but have Caitlin . Yes Caitlin and Ronnie were the best couple but they killed him off she did say in the early seasons that she needed to fid someone new to get crazy for we all knew she was talking about Barry and their friend ship is so amazing and they can talk about anything . Once they started to make Iris important I stopped watching the show I only watched clips they show too much of her once Barry goes in to the speed force . Those are my reasons to why I dislike Iris and Felicity there are way more but theses are my main reasons why .
Felicity complains to Ovilever about everything he does, like with his son. He didn't tell her for good reason and got angry over sending him away to keep him safe, even though it had nothing to do with her. Iris was fine but got so annoying, she became a main character for no reason and was so boring. Also the "we are the Flash" thing was stupid. In other word Laurel should have been with Oliver because they had more chemistry (even Cupid did) with Oliver. Then Caitlen (I'm not sure if that's spelt right) and Barry should have been together. They just made them both unbearable
@@mrjawline1143 I agree with everything you said except the fact that Laurel should be with Oliver I understand that in the comics they are a couple and they are adorable but I'm not sure if it is the actor but I don't like her in Arrow.
Thank you Watch Mojo, somebody finally pointed out that the Oliver Queen from Arrow is too much like Batman.
In "The Longbow Hunters" trilogy from the 80s, Oliver was a darker person like you see in the show. As well, it's one of few comic series before the show where he wears a hood and not a hat; his suit looked a lot like it did in Season 1 of "Arrow." However, he still has the facial hair in "The Longbow Hunters," unlike the show.
The fact that Black Canary isn’t his love interest really rustles my jimmies! I can’t watch the show cause of it. It’s just too inaccurate to the source material.
lol
Weren’t they dating before the island in an affair thing
Honestly it annoys me so much, I'm still watching it and I just want them to kill felicity and bring back laurel and ollie
Yeah i know. You should read the manga instead
Kieran Walker I wish they never even tried designing her character that way and did the real Dinah 'laurel' lance backstory independent of Ollie.
Most important is that he is NOT goddamn Batman!
Well Batman in Gotham isn't Batman either, and face it, he's a better batman than all but 2 of the DC Movie Batmans, and frankly he does a Batman voice better than Christian Bale did, at least I can understand what he's saying.
WinterSplinterM.II That’s Exactly what I’ve saying for years now. Those writers and actors/actresses NEED to get that through their thick heads already.!!!!
yeah you're right he is better than batman
Batman is overrated af I’m sorry
@@saminahsan477 Batman could beat his ass easy tho and I like my boy Olie
2:01 That was before Flashpoint. In the New 52, Shado was the lover of Ollie's father and had a daughter with him.
I haven't watched the show since Olicity happened.
Noob bad news - they just got married
Why do people hate this relationship so much, I will admit, I dislike felicity but I’m love the relationship between the 2
@Eduard Kung You have a very childish way of thinking. Anyone who still uses the word nerd has to be in the 4th grade
You missed the best part then
@@ryukrants7975 Because she's irrelevant they killed of his wife and made Felicity his wife when in the comics black Canary is his wife
Just when you thought Felicity is the worst thing in the Arrowverse, they go above and beyond with Iris.
FRISHR 😂
More and more the Arrowverse is turning into a girl power pep rally. "We are the Flash?" Really? And even though there has been similarities with Bruce and Ollie. Ollie never had his own Oracle. Oh yeah, and Supergirl isn't more powerful than Superman.
@Yoshimitsu Felicity atleast is doing something useful.
Ikr?
Nether characters are black. Im a huge comic fan and I hate when they change a characters race to appeal to a certain audience. Keep these characters white and keep the black characters black. If they want original black characters give us our own original black super heros.
The biggest offenses to me are number 1(ironic considering my name on here) and number 3. A big problem in DC is that heroes not named Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman rarely stand out, by making Arrow a reflection of Batman it only enhances my point. Black Canary is one of the most important characters to the Green Arrow mythos, so doing what they have done with her character, only takes away from the real Green Arrow's character more I feel.
death of laurel😓
Yay! I hate her!
@@seidejaber9523 Yay! I hate you
A better title would be, Top 5 things Arrow does differently". Not that these are wrong, they just did things differently.
Demoi Yeboi the number 1 thing is for sure something that's wrong about the show. He's supposed to be witty and charismatic. Not cardboard guy. Idk I think it's the writing it just sucks so many times
If they did things differently then it's wrong.
Demoi Yeboi No. It's what they did wrong.
2 and 1 are true though.
King Merck No, they just decided to change it. That's not a mistake, it was simply a creative decision they made. Having Oliver cracking jokes all the time wouldn't fit the tone that they were going for on the show, or his back story.
1- Felicity
2- Felicity
3- Felicity
4- Felicity
5- Felicity
Eddie Márquez I agree.
this is so true
Eddie Márquez so very very very true
Why do people hate felicity she's the least annoying person he's been with lol
anthony cheesman no hun she’s not the least annoying she’s the MOST & ONLY annoying person on the show, walking around ordering Oliver around like he’s her dog, the show was supposed to be about Oliver Queen, about his struggles, about his journey, about his loses, about his dark & light side but because annoying fefe the show became nothing more than the Olicity fan service hotline, because of said “least annoying” character Oliver queen LOST his character, LOST his mission, LOST himself and became nothing more nothing more than an obedient dog to felicity, the guy used to have some dignity and now fefe yells at him and embarrasses him in front of his friends/ colleagues and shuts down his marriage proposal and the guy still apologizes to her as if he did something wrong and then basically still begs her to marry him, the guy lost his dignity, his pride, his self worth, his self confidence, his intelligence, his morals because of her thus making her the MOST annoying, selfish, cold hearted character in a the arrowverse shows
Why does green arrow in the show feel like batman and not the unserious guy from almost everything
because they were going to make a batman show but couldn't get the rights
@@maurice9766 thank god because batman is so overrated in DC it's becoming what Wolverine is to marvel.
I get the feeling they were going for a Green Arrow spinoff from Smallville. Since that version also wore a good, and fell your a Blonde computer skilled sidekick.
it was actually however they wanted a darker version of the charachter
DryBones271 At least Chloe was a unique, original and interesting character, Felicity started out nice, but became too much of a bitch.
My biggest problems with the show:
1 - They destroyed the "Black Canary" character ("Dinah" Laurel Lance) and her relationship with "Green Arrow" (They are my favorite comic book couple)
2 - Oliver is too "Bruce Wayne-ish"... Always serious and brooding... Where is the Green Arrow from the comics? With his sense of humor and jokes?
3 - The "Olicity" crap... Just kill that character, CW...
Nope, I haven't see season 4.
- I was so frustated that I stopped watching at mid of season 3... Too much Olicity crap, also the fact that later I found out that they killed the Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance), was the last drop...
- He should have been Green Arrow-ish since the beggining, he get's a pass in the first two seasons because he was traumatized by his stay on the island...
- But that guy in the show isn't Oliver Queen (from the comics and animations), that's Bruce Wayne dressed in green.
You're god damn right ! Olicity is total crap ,
Dhruv Singh while I agree with everything you said... I still have problems with the writing of the show (from season 3 forward) and the focus on that "Olicity" crap...
The fact that this Oliver is more "Bruce Wayne-ish", instead of the Oliver from comics/animations, is a minor thing but still bugs me because I really like Oliver's sense of humor in the comics/animated series
Tatiana Oliveira I dont think they destroyed Laurel, (btw its Dinah Laurel Lance) if anything they really helped her progress through the story line especially with her fight scenes omg.
I agree about the Bruce Wayne-ish thing about Oliver.
I swear everyone hates on Olicity. I don’t have any problem with them too much though.
you got the point
1. Felicity relationship bs.
Zachary Miklas so true. I hate Felicity.
Her Lost Bounty she was decent in seasons 1, 2, but she got awful by season 3.
Yeah she was a good character in the first 2 seasons but got worse by 4 and 5 should've just killed her off on the island
They should've stuck with Dinah getting back together with Oliver, after Tommy's death.
They shoulda killed everyone off on the island except D-stroke, that woulda been great. I thought that happened until season 6 started. *sigh* 😦
Season 4 was the worst.
Sonic Badass season 4 was the pinnacle of Arrow as a show and the height of all Tv entertainment! We got to see the bad a** Oliver Queen from the first 3 season turn into a stay at home wife for felicity who cooked meals and has brunch with her mom. And the down to earth gritty story telling get turned into a watered down show about mysticism with snarky one liners. And the flash backs omg from mercenaries and super soldiers to hill Billy’s and discount drug farms yep that’s evolutionary writing if ever I saw it. So the next time you want to talk bs about season 4 remember what I told you here.
kaledov It’s still one of the laziest seasons ever. Thankfully, season 5 was much better. Season 4 had some good parts, Sara comes back and that’s how she joins Legends, Constantine shows for 1 episode, Thea’s progress since her death. Flaws: Laurel dies? Really? Should’ve killed Felicity instead, would’ve make sense. After everything Oliver has been through and losing the girl of her dreams was a bad move. Making Darhk invincible for too damn long or too soon was also something people didn’t like.
kaledov Please tell me that you’re joking.
Epic comment.
Season 4 was horrible i agree.
I remember getting on board late, binging it after The Netflix started showing it, and my reaction was pretty much the same for the entire four seasons I could actually get through. I asked my friends who had been onboard since the beginning, “I’m not the only one watching to see who gets revealed next, am I?” And the answer was always “yes.” I watch Flash to see Flash being Flash, I watched Arrow to see Barry become Flash, Slade become Deathstroke, Lance become Canary, and Ray become Iron Man.
One thing I don't like is how on each of these CW shows (not including Legends) the main hero needs like 20 people to help them find 1 bad guy when in the comics they either find them themselves or get 2 others to help
Should've stayed with Laurel. Makes more sense anyways.
Honestly I stop watching Arrow this season just couldn't stomach it anymore. If I wanna watch Batman then I would watch the Dark Knight trilogy. It's funny that Stephen Amell played or voice a very good Green Arrow in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Other than that he makes a very convincing Batman with a bow.
6 seasons of watching arrow and THIS season is what you could not take anymore? Dark knight trilogy is only 3 movies, arrow is an on going tv show..I am aware arrow has many problems but I like that the cw shows all feel connected unlike in the netflix universe where they just make references to the movie characters and barely show up in each others shows
@@YTChannel420 the point here is shouldn't have made Green Arrow like Batman. In case if you don't know Green Arrow that much, he has that cockiness and a swash buckling charm
Season 6 ain’t that bad dude. 7 is worse just bc of how boring and bleak it is
But Oliver is still optimistic, though. He's become a lot more optimistic about things, as before he didn't trust anyone. So, although he's not exactly the same as comic book Green Arrow, he's still more comic book accurate than he was in previous seasons
Number 1 - Olicity (mainly felicity) I really tried liking her whenever I made some progress she would do something that would make me hate her even more plus they ruined an entire season because of olishitty drama. probably all of ollies relationships were better than olicity
Olicity isn't a problem with the show. I like the Olicity pairing.
anthony n respect your opinion man
Fuck Olicity.
Yogeshwar Sharma I agree with you entirely too; I thought there where WAY MORE love and chemistry in Oliver's exs on the show than the entire fucking time he and the cancerous Olicity relationship has...
anthony n LOL that's sad
No goatee,no boxing glove arrow,no money,no humour BUT I LOVE ARROW FAVOURITE TVSHOW!!!
He did use the boxing glove arrow in one episode. Oliver has money again now that he is mayor. He has a beard too, although it's not as long as the comic version. There is humor, it's just more dry and sarcastic, and less "quippy".
Sammy Derrick he is funny sometimes
I AGREE!!!
Ideal team Arrow:
1. Oliver/Green Arrow
2. Curtis/Mr.Terrific/New Overwatch
3. Diggle/Spartan
4. Laurel/Black Siren/Black Canary
5. Dinah/Black Canary
This team is well balanced, it includes a tech-savvy person who can also defend themselves and is not handicapped. The team has two people with long ranged weapons (Oliver- bow and arrow, Diggle- firearm) and includes two metahumans (Dinah and Laurel) with potent cries). The team also includes two people who can fight with close-range weaponry (Dinah- bo staff, Laurel- tonfa), not to mention lack of vulnerability or limitation in terms of self-defense. This team is ideal thanks to it's diversity but balance of techniques...
Sammy Derrick. Your wrong
The costume in season 4 is the best looking Arrow costume .
Mutant X
But he gets cold.
Sam Lung small price to pay for looking awesome lol .
Adrian Quidilla same he looks like a magic mike character without sleeves
Adrian Quidilla I prefer sleeves as well
Mutant X Sleeves made more sense, since most of the fight scenes take place at night.
LOL @ the last second jab at Shumacher's Batman & Robin
The Multiverse hence multiple versions of Arrow i just look at it that way.
DariusHazano well,the arrow of cw doesn't have batman or superman or wonder woman in his unverse it seems. I know he mentioned Bruce but he could just be a regular billionaire on arrow. And yeah Kara exist in her own world but never confirmed on Oliver queens.
@@carybeweary7209 well, now it has been confirmed. There was once upon a time a batman in Gotham. And since Bruce left Kate had filled the role.
One thing I want to see the most is Earth-1 Oliver Queen Dead and Team Flash goes to another Earth to find a similar Oliver Queen but more comedic. Something like in the InJustice Universe.
No. That would ruin arrow.
McKnight
That would ruin the relationships of Oliver- with Thea, Anatoly and Slade.
I hate Olicity,but in the begnning I liked Felicity
CW Oliver Queen is basically a dollar store version of Bruce Wayne. Oliver isnt a dark brooding person. Seasons 1-3 were great. After that it went downhill. I got tired of Stephen Amell's 2 emotions. The "somebody ran over my dog" face and the "felicity please love me" face.
Really? I fucked off pretty early on, after the BS with Count Vertigo.
try season 5. also you shall discover smell is pretty good at dry wit as well
amell lol
dill pickle season 5 was okay, and I didn’t like season 3.
Season 5s finale is one of if not the best episode in the series...You got to check out season 5. Adrian chase is a really good villain too and that's saying a lot because villains these days suck in superhero tv and movies
My name is Oliver Queen, i keep making the exact same mistakes over and over again and i compromise my principles at the drop of a hat, im like reverse Rrorschach.
wow, only 5?....OK.
Should of been a top 10 list...smh
Top infinite list of what they get wrong.
Yeah that sounds about right.
marco39120 This list isnt reallt what they got wrong. They just changed it cuz most of these wouldnt work in a live action tv show
Really spam?
MAYBE #1 but the others?
It was just a stupid-ass desicision because CW exes thought that people wanted grimdark gritty. But they missed the mark horribly. AND they went out of their way to be SOOOPER REALISTIC!!!!!tm at the beginning of the show. As a result, I didn't get past season 1 before I stopped watching out of pure disgust.
It's watchmojo None of them have ever read a single comic book they just skim through various comment sections and message boards and look for the most commonly mentioned argument points. then they use google image search and youtube to find popular comic book covers, comic panels and video clips to give the illusion that they know what they're talking about/ have done research for their videos.
1 word. Olicity
You should do a list about the best-selling or most popular music artists of all time
4:56 That was Tara Strong?
When you do an ambitious 4-part crossover between 4 different superhero shows, but spends half of the time with Olicity bitching about their "never-should've-happened" relationship
**Insert meme here**
MadSnowman
Honestly. I'm tired of Felicity
Hunter
Me too. They almost redeemed her character in season 5, but proceeded to undo it all in this season. Such a shame. Felicity was a good character back in season 1 and 2
MadSnowman Should’ve died in season 4, hopefully she does in this season lol
MadSnowman
And when she embarrassed Oliver, in the rehearsal dinner, I hated her even more. She's a tech guru, I get it, but other than that, she's useless. I want laurel back
Hunter The fact that people think she’s better than Oliver blows my mind. In what rehearsal dinner? Season 6 perhaps? I’m not sure, I’m only starting season 6.
The costume makes sense.
Shado's character was changed because that wasn't the story the show wanted to tell.
Roy's backstory may have been overlooked but he developed on-screen well enough.
You can just blame the writers for not properly using Black Canary.
It's a different take on Green Arrow. Gritty Arrow works just like campy Batman works too.
If I can't blame the writers for not properly using Black Canary (for not even properly portraying her), who am I to blame? Katie Cassidy? Juliana Harkavy? The directors?
black canary was in it one time but we don't see diane for a long time
Omar Guillen Green Arrow's hood works, but sleeves? Dude have you ever shot a bow before? Sleeves? They're so impractically stupid. Season 4's costume is what practicality looks like.
An archer with no periferal vision works?
last raven85 Do you remember the several times that Oliver didn't need his sight to fight? In the episode where he is drugged with vertigo (season 1) he takes on all of the Count's thugs without the bow, and well dizzy/disoriented. There is also the hallway scene where he rescues Walter and hears the guy with the gun before he turns the corner.
The only reason i don't like green arrow is because he doesn't kill again (in the comics and show)
Wtf did u give him a bow and arrows just to stop him from killing, it's like giving a soldier a pistol and said him to war just to tell him later not to kill
…Because he's a hero who believes that murder will make him fall down the same path as the villains?
Boopin Dooples then why the bow and arrows
But he does kill again now. That isn't his first go to move now but he does kill when warranted.
It's to remind him of what he went through, and to remind him of why he helps people. He's modeled himself after Robin Hood, hoping he could do good like the hero of fable. As for the bow and arrow, he has trick arrows, different types of arrows can kill if used in a certain way, but most are used to incapacitate enemies.
He does kill...
the lack of respect for the source material I gave up on Arrow a long time ago great video
I'm still pissed they killed off Black Canary and replaced her with a psychotic murderer. I will never call Tina that name, she doesn't even deserve the Dinah Drake name.
Matt Graves
And Laurel does?
MeehLaq She never killed anyone, so that's better than a psycho.
Matt Graves How is she a psycho? You can call most Arrow characters a psycho If killing makes them psychos.
MeehLaq Because she was a sadist, she enjoyed killing people.
Matt Graves
How? When did they say that?
Also Oliver admitted he enjoyed killing in Arrow. Does that make him unworthy of his name?
i think point 3-5 is ok, they are just things they changed, and not things they got wrong, the hooded costume was also part of the green arrow comics, so I dont see it as something they got wrong. I think the thing they really got wrong, i agree with would be point 2, that was very very bad, they got it so wrong, olicity killed season 4 and damaged the show so badly to the point where the show might have no return, and replacing such an iconic dc couple with olicity at the same time killing off the black canary in that season really rubbed the comic book fans the wrong way. Point 1 I do understand, but alot of people fail to realise is that there is a gritty and dark storyline in the arrow comics like the longbow hunters story arc and mike drells run in the last 1980s. That period in time shows a green arrow that was gritty and gadgets and all were thrown our the window all thats left is good old fashion archery. At the same time a green arrow that was torment by the fact that he killed a man(like the man who was torturing black canary), which led to him killing his enemies at times. So yeah he wasnt always the light hearted and happy go lucky kinda guy. True brooding is more of a batman kinda thing, but people always seems to forget green arrow has that dark side to him as well. I do agree though shado and roy harper were characters that were very interesting and characters who had a lot more potential which the show failed to tap into.
I agree with every single one of these, especially numbers 1 and 2, and other reasons that weren't listed!
I Know this list is the same but do you think you can do a Top 10 Biggest DIFFERENCES Between The Arrowverse TV Show And Comic
They got Black Canary wrong to with so many levels they need to stop with this whole black siren thing and make Laurel back into the good guy that she needs to be it was pointless to kill her off in the first place it should have been Felicity this whole time
Please no thank you. Laurel was god awful. Love her as the Black Siren hope they never redeem her.
@@GypsyTink This didn't age well
Thank you!
Felicity should have died instead it makes more sense
Only 5? LMAO
Αγγελιάνα Ιωαννίδου 10 or 20 maybe
They combined Thea and Roy's stories together to make two new characters.
They were probably considering killing off Sara or Thea early on and wanted Oliver to have an anchor just like Barry has in Iris.
As they said at the start of the video an adaptation is going to have differences and some things from the green arrow comics would never work on screen and and the Roy drug thing was adapted for his ark in season 2
season 2 is the best
season 2 is the best
Season 2, season 1, and season 5 are the best seasons of arrow..Season 6 has been decent so far
YT Channel 5
I feel they got most things wrong.
Scarces Flannel not necessarily wrong. They just did it differently.
Caitlin Snow there's different and there's way off arrow is way off.
Scarces Flannel
Okay? I'm just saying it's not wrong because they *purposely* changed it from the original. Yes it's way off, but they weren't trying to make it the same.
Also,however beeing true that G.A. is a good friend of Flash, Oliver's Best friend is Hal Jordan(they even shared a title in the comics)
But since they changed the "World Finest" Superman/Batman for Clark/Ollie in Smallville...I guess everything can happen in the CW...I was even expecting Diggle to be reveled as John Stewart...
But now that he's Spartan I don't think they are going to bring any Green Lantern to the show...will Felicity became Black Cannary at some point?... and why mentioning Bruce Wayne if Oliver is already takeing his place and fighting his enemies(even killing Ras!)?
PS: I loved season 1 and 2
and I have nothing against Stephen Amell's Dark Vigilante incarnation,...but I must admit that as cheesy it was his costume and the CGI,...Justin Hartley's version is closer to the O.Queen from the comics...
Amell is just playing Batman
(and his doing a better job than many other DarKnight)
Wow you said exactly what I've been thinking about this show. Now do the other CW shows like flash and stupidgirl.
I would have liked it if green arrow had a sense of humor
Yeah now he's just a wannabe batman in the show.
SKIP SEASON 4 PEOPLE!
Season 5 is epic
OOOOOh I wanted to write about first one in comments , but you guys didnt mentioned it
Watchmojo is are savage when they bring up scene where Oliver is Roy alright when looking into the distance
They didn’t get it wrong they just decided to switch it up
Yeah by making him batman in green tights. It's BS.
@@darthxerxes5468 boy it’s been three years how did u find this
They need to end olicity for good and start working on Oliver and Dinah I mean they didn't introduce her for not reason
have you seen the picture of felicity's grave?
Khallum Vithal lol
Felicity got mad and Oliver for not telling her about his son for good reason. Then she got mad for him and Samantha hiding him away to protect him.
I like that he calls him “Ollie”. I do to.. I call them all by their nicknames.. :)
No GA/BC should be #1. Olicity has been a blight on that show and they have disrepcected comic book fans, Canary, and Katie Cassidy, with each passing second of those two on screen together.
Yrp olicity is bs
God I hate Felicity so much.
Get a life, virgin.
If all you so guys are watching for a ship whether comic canon or not then you are just as bad as the other side. Its silly. Who cares who he's sleeping with, married to, dating. If Superman married Wonder Woman or Black Canary I could care less. If Barry stayed with Patty instead of Iris who cares. Get over this crap already.
they have disrespected Katie ever since season 2. Just waiting for the Black Siren redemption arc
I think it's safe to say Oliver and Felicity did make up their minds tonight...
Their couple is still trash tough
Amany Ekongolo Bebe It would be trash if Oliver married Laurel
I know, which is why he should marry Sara imo
Amany Ekongolo Bebe Sarah is just having fun with Nyssa, Alex and every other woman she meets
Misha Steele Meh true, but she gets Ollie more than any other of his love interests which is why i love the GA/BC couple in the first place
Roy was speedy. In one of the crossovers Layla says what’s between you and speedy (meaning flash) and Oli thinks she means Roy.
The costume in the series is more like the costume from Mike Grell's Green Arrow run in the 80's.
He was the first one to change the costume, gave him a hoodie instead of a hat.
Grell really redefined the character, making him darker and grittier, and was also the first to make the character kill in the comics.
The character (in season 1 & 2 for the most part) is really based on Grell's Green Arrow.
So you see, there's really nothing that they got "wrong" with the show regarding the costume.
EVERYTHING
make a CW got everything wrong about DC video
MrNumberFour CW DC universe shits on Hollywood DC universe.
True ^
number 1. the shows are a cringefest.
G Mon maybe arrow season 1-2 and flash season 1, that's it.
Nobody cares about your opinion ^
Roy is post to be way younger ,but I forgot this is the tv series,I can see were they were going
Some of the villains in the show aren’t from Arrow Comics , the Diggle character , Arrow training Flash,The Batman like parallel on tv, Olicity , Team Arrow at least this version , lol let’s see if I’m close after watching the video.
They should have this Green Arrow appear in the Justice League movies.
That would be great
Yes
SupaPixelGirl The movies and tv shows should always separate imo .
Nahhhh one dark and broody hero is enough.
Why? A batman clone? They shouldn't have a Green Arrow that's actually Green Arrow in the DCEU.
This version of green arrow reminds me too much of batman. In the animations hes usually kind of funny and has a grrat personallity. This one is just too dark to be the green arrow i expected to see
Ghost Light, agreed. I feel like they used GA as a big excuse for a Batman show. Make a Batman show already. I feel like CW made me lose respect for GA
Comic version too. He original character is like the animation
Can you guys continue with the Arrowverse weeks
#2 should have been #1. One reason I have read GA over the years is for the pretty bird. As for making him Batman, has Mojo not read Golden or Silver Age GA. Arrowcar, Arrowcave, teenage sidekick with a red suit, quiver for a utility belt, DC made him into Batman lite. It was only after he lost his wealth that he began to develop into non-clone, O'Neil and Adams GL/GA team up any one.
Honestly the suit I think looks more realistic
There is no suit. It's just some green hood smh
Their costumes are garbage. their costumes look like they are from some shitty low budget "super hero" tv show pilot in 2002.
Number 1 - Felicity
The last one about it basically turning Green Arrow into Batman sounds about right I think if they would have diverted from being so serious and into more comical light hearted territory building on the characters positive changes giving him a better outlook and making him a little quippy would have made the show better now it's but a shadow of what it was and could have been.
Actually, the Batman comparisons are pretty much spot on. The Golden Age Green Arrow had a LOT in common with Batman, including an Arrowcave, Arrowcar and Arrowplane.
I’m arrow in Batman’s voice
Arrow didn't get anything wrong from green Arrow because the show isn't a straight up adaption, it's a else-world story like every other DC related TV show, none of them, Smallville, Supergirl, Gotham, Arrow or Flash stick exactly to the comics.
themarine0316 yeah I agree if they were carbon copies it wouldn't be entertaining they need to change things up to keep it interesting
False. It's a Batman show whereas it should be a Green Arrow show. A show about a loveable smartass, not broody Emotion-Man.
I have a question. Would you be triggered if the movies missed huge points in hunger games, divergent, twilight, etc?
That's true. It was never meant to be a straight up adaptation of GA.
No I wouldn't care at all they could all mix up couples change costumes. I'm going to start shipping Spiderman and Killer Frost. That might be fun. BTW twilight did miss several things I still enjoyed it and I hated Hunger game so eh.
I miss the days when arrow was my favorite tv show.
What about the no killing rule?
So this is where the olicity/felicity haters gather to share their unnecessarily hateful opinions. Why y’all so affected and salty. It’s just a TV show. And don’t y’all think that they noticed Felicity and Olie had more of a connection than Laurel and Olie? Maybe even thought that it would make sense to go that(olicity) path? Trying to force Laurel and Oliver in the TV show will seem too forced and dry asf. Probably give y’all something to hate about.
BUT I fuuuuuucking agree with the whole Iris and Barry situation.
flash is better say yes or no
Tyler Whitehorn No. They both suck equally now.
Flash sucks
tengog11 season 4 is where i stopped too much Iris too much Barry and the crossover is going to suck with Nazis
Flash is better.
1) Better MC:
Amell is a bland, brooding, poor man’s Batman compared to his comic book counterpart.
I‘ve always hated this aspect of the show because one of the reasons I like GA over Batman was because of his optimistic personality, witty humour and charisma.
Barry is cringey at times, but he actually has a personality and a much better character overall.
2) Main cast are more likeable. Cisco, Wells, Joe, Caitlin, Iris>>>> Diggle, Dinah, Raw Dog, Mr Terrible and Feleshitty.
3) better overall villains: Reverse Flash> Malcom
Hunter Zolomon= Slade
Savitar> Ra’s Al Ghoul
The Thinker> Damien Darhk
Prometheus was great and on the tier of Reverse Flash and Slade.
3) Flash deals with metas with more interesting abilities than street lvl thugs like the Arrow.
4) No Olicity. Granted Iris is slowly becoming as annoying as Feleshittty
5) Flash is a lot more respectful to the source material. Arrow’s done a disserveice to Black Canary’s character. Also, it takes way too much aspects from Batman.
I love flash (not as much as arrow tho) but I realllly hate iris, I can’t get the fact that she’s basically his sister out of my mind. Even tho their not related in anyway . 😐
Creat Top 10 Arrowverse Crossovers!
Wow. I did not see number 4 coming though
