    Let us tell you about an incredible superhero group. One that includes a powerful Kryptonian living on Earth, a speedster with amazing powers, and a hero who emerges from darkness of Gotham City and dresses like a Bat. While these attributes may describe the Justice League -- we’re actually talking about television’s Arrowverse. Since 2012, the Arrowverse has slowly grown and expanded -- featuring a great lineup of DC characters that could easily go toe to toe with any other cinematic universe. But how did the Arrowverse grow and become so successful while the DCEU has faltered over the past few years? Well, we’ll break everything down for you, showcase how the Arrowverse has risen above BOTH the DCEU and MCU and what the future holds for all our favorite television heroes.
    If a superhero show premiered on television, the characters, storylines, and heroes were all typically contained within the same show. The idea of connected universes were not as common as they are today. In the 60’s, the live-action Batman show was a trailblazer and led to a movie featuring the same characters. The Incredible Hulk was iconic in the late 1970’s and is still referenced today despite the aged effects. The 90’s saw a large boom of heroes on TV with the New Adventures of Lois and Clark and The Flash both receiving critical acclaim. Then of course, there were popular animation superhero shows like X-Men The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series. But one of the biggest shows to have an impact on superheroes in television was DC’s Smallville.

    The Arrowverse created a hero of their own that later got added to the comics. John Diggle AKA Spartan.

    • @Maikeru1979
      @Maikeru1979 4 роки тому +24

      and in the final episodes of last season they revealed that Diggle is his birth name but his step-father's last name is Stewart. So his adopted name is John Stewart; which should be very very familiar name to DC Fans. Would not be surprised to see Dig become Green Lantern during Crisis. and either moving over to Legends or getting his own show as G.L.

      What makes you think that comic books aren't teen drama? That's literally what they are/were intended as. It's only due to poor marketing of comics to children (and prices beyond the reach of any modest allowance) that adult fans have such an outsize percentage of the comics-buying market.

      That's actually a pretty fair assessment, but you have to consider what network the shows are on. The CW is *known* for teen drama, and while the Arrowverse has certainly expanded past relying on it, it's still a core mechanic of the network.

    • @InoueMagi

      Or maybe they can't just make a comic accurate story because of being in cable show, they are restricted/limited use of there of the story of each characters in the show. Not everything in the comics can be interpreted in the the tv series especially when they are pg rated and had a budget for a tv series not some movie production.

    I think the DCEU should have taken their time to build their universe in movies. They tried to jump to the marvel train and skipped all the introductions and foundations of characters. Look how well they can do with the arrowverse and now how bad the movies are. They need to slow down and build their own world not just make one appear.

    • @AWRShorts

      I agree, getting rid of Snyder was also a good move. They treated it like a race to the super hero team-up, but really they should have believed in the characters and their ability to carry films on their own (and they can if you have a half decent director) and built up the universe slowly, like Marvel did. Aquaman and Shazam look like a step in the right direction at last.

      I don't even think it's that. it's the changing of the characters for no other reasons than to make them LGBT. Plus, it can be argued that they are reducing the character to one or two traits (gender and sexual orientation). For example with Batwoman, what else had they said about the character other than she's a lesbian? Nothing. Why? Because they doing it for the reason of being PC instead of being creative. Because the writers suck.

Thing is I love both Marvel and DC, but DC didn't build up to the big movie like Marvel did with The Avengers. But the CW shows make up for that and I love it, just a shame they didn't do the same hard work with building the Justice League.

      It works for the CW but could never work on the big screen. Movie franchises have to reach the largest audience possible to make the investment in filmmaking
      worth the risk. You don't want the talk about a tentpole film to be about a same-sex relationship versus the actual plot of the film. Maybe in a few more years
      (Thanks in part to the CWDC shows "mainstreaming" LGBTQ characters) the film franchises will take that leap. But I don't see that happening with Marvel for a
      while. Perhaps WB will put a Lesbian character in Birds of Prey to test the waters but other then that,I don't see it happening within the next ten years.

    The gay relationships feel forced. I could understand if the relationship had something to do with the story arc but it comes across as it's written just to apease the LGBT demographic.

      So when you see a straight relationship you don't think those are forced either? It just feels forced to you because of lack of exposure to this kind of thing. To LGBT people its a breathe of fresh air.

      @@RamblyBear you're missing the point. Any relationship can feel forced once it's forced into a plot just for the sake of being there. Just sticking ideals into a story for no other reason than to make the sight of them more common takes from the story and messes up its whole flow.

    The next Arrowverse show should be pretty obvious. Rip Hunter has a pretty interesting collection of random stuff but one item that he keeps in his office on the Waverider is the Helmet of Fate. With John Costantine joining the Legends of Tomorrow, how long do you think it'll take before he notices one of, if not the most powerful magical artifact in the entire DC multiverse?
    I believe that Dr. Fate will be next, and it's about f*cking time!

      The one Thing I hated of the legends of tomorrow was, that when I first whatched it, I thought: Man that is just like doctor who
      I mean in staed of 'Time Lords' there are 'Time Masters'
      Rip Hunter is the same dude who played Rory in Doctor who
      And it is about a 'Time Master' who travels in his machine, which can travel in all 'space and time in the dimension' and can cloak itself.
      I love doctor who and really I hate it and even if it is a great Show, legends of tomorrow felt like a copy. I couldn't whatch it.

    Also, in terms of female representation, one of the biggest female Sups on Agents of SHIELD is Chloe Bennett's Quake, an Inhuman. The show has lasted for 6 (soon 7 Seasons) despite mixed reviews. And unlike DC still referring to Lara-El as Super "Girl" she is shown as a powerful and mature Woman on the show.
