In case someone else hasn't mentioned it, the Flash season 1 starts at the beginning of Arrow season 3. So ... there's a lot of growth that happens with the Arrow before we get to Barry and the Flash. But these first few seasons are FANTASTIC and I highly recommend it.
There was an episode in season 2, where it took place in the period where Barry Allen was still in a coma. Felicity comes back to visit him in Central City.
I have not been able to rewatch it from the beginning because at the time I watched it first, it made me sooooo sad due to his suffering and all that. Till today I cannot bring myself to watch it again😭😭
Ngl, this show reaction completely caught me off surprise! I love this series so much, especially this season!🔥 Thank u for bringing this reaction! I’m gonna watch your Flash commentary too
Same! The show ofc got a few "less good" seasons as most shows do, but overall this is one of my favourite shows ever. Looking forward to it :D It may be due to how great Stephen Amell is in that role.
Arrow started as great, that's why they were able to make The Flash and all the other shows. He is the starting point in the DC TV Universe (also known as Arrowverse) like Ironman was in MCU.
I love the earlier seasons of Arrow so much, also it's wildly funny to me that Oliver is so smart and rich but he had to have Barry give him a mask to realize make up might not hide his identity 😂
Spoiler If I remember correctly, Oliver couldn't come up with a material that would contort to his face and not obstruct his vision. Barry on the other hand is into all the science stuff and likely keeps up with different inventions. Another point is he is a forensic scientist, so he works with and examines different materials and fabrics on a daily bases. And him being Barry, he probably geeks out over and tests different things.
@@---Kyle--- Correct, when barry finds out oliver is the arrow he complains about him not having a mask, Oliver then goes onto saying how a mask will distort his vision when trying to aim, barry then gifts oliver a mask made out of a certain material bla bla to conform to his face, which is why he starts using a mask, i preffered the face paint though, that and the hood + night time isnt a bad disguise
I had NO intentions of watching a single second of this show, but happened to be channel surfing during the premiere, and landed on the CW RIGHT as Oliver walked out in that towel...and was IMMEDIATELY hooked lol. Did turn out to be a pretty good show/franchise though.
Watching you react to this is reminding me that I absolutely want to watch this again! Would love to see you keep watching. Tbh the more info you get on it all, the better it gets. From what I remember of my first time through (though it's hard to tell bc I'm pretty sure I watched straight through an entire season in a day), each episode has a new piece of absolutely mind-blowing info that just throws the entire universe for a loop. Quite the fun ride, and I love the way the characters develop and re-learn who each other are after so much has changed
Wow! I actually forgot how good the first seasons of this show were! Even though I stuck it out through every single episode, I definitely stopped caring (for the most part) somewhere around season 5 or 6. Glad for the reminder that this show wasn’t always bad!
Shows like this wouldn’t be possible without Smallville. Def give that a watch on your own time. That’s a 10 season saga that came out way before these shows started coming out.
12:43...the book "twilight" was released in 2005. The movie premiered in 2008... Oliver spent 5 years on the island and was retuned to civilization in early 2013
Green Arrow was my first CW show and I was hooked by the first episode, started binging it with my sister. I haven't finished it though, I have to catch up. But, I just love how mature and darker it is than the other shows like Flash which I do enjoy as well. But it's just my taste, at least the first couple of seasons gave me Batman vibes. Glad you're enjoying it, I had a nostalgia trip watching your reaction lol.
Green Arrow is not normally like this btw, he's usually more of a sarcastic and quippy like Tony Stark so due note that this show is very different from normal Green Arrow.
I also want to catch up with the whole of Arrowverse, and if possible, in the proper chronological order such that we have the Arrow episode, followed by the Flash and then Supergirl, etc. When I checked the full episode count, I was like, screw it, it needs almost a full college year's worth of time dedicated to the whole showlist.
@@shade_zz1585 I've noticed he has a personality similar to what you described in the animated series. I do like him like that.. but I guess I had a fresh start on Green Arrow, not the most knowledge.. So I grew to accept CW's Oliver Queen and how darker, serious he was.. gave me Batman vibes who is my #1 so maybe thats why I easily liked his character too lol.
The Flash tv show only exists because of this show and it’s success. When Arrow came out it was soooo awesome and then when they started to do the cross over events with the Flash every season it took it to a whole new level! I really miss this show. Sigh.
As much as I love this show and reactions...... I truly wished you relaxed on watching a bunch of shows and really focused on a season of a show at a time
Holy Crap!! You're already watching this just now!? Wow, you have a long way to go as the series went off the air almost 4 years ago, after 8 seasons and 170 Episodes.
Now that you've watched Batman Begins, you'll notice a similarly grounded, gritty, realistic approach to this show, particularly in the first couple of seasons, and that's intentional. There's just much more family drama in Arrow than in The Dark Knight Trilogy. Also, Stephen Amell is in legit great shape. No lie, he competed on American Ninja Warrior for charity.
Cool watching this, reminds me how strong the first two seasons of Arrow were. Later seasons range from okay to decent, but I really think it had enormous potential from these first two seasons.
I started this when it came out in 2013. Arrow has a special place in my heart, seeing this again. The first episode is hard! So good. I like the flash as well, still watching it. But arrow is something else, just love Oliver (and Diggle) so much. CW has great shows, legends of tomorrow, supergirl etc. What I like is the universe that they have built from 2013. Wow I was 24, so long ago.
Oh cool what a surprise (: I liked your Flash reaction & Arrow is a good show and him and Flash pair well together. Oliver has some great ass character development just like Ironman
"he's a changed person now he knows Russian!!!" I have seen this so pilot so many times but never have I thought of or heard this but omg I love it and you sm!!!!😂😂
I think one of the things I enjoy about the arrowverse is that all the shows have kind of different vibes so there's lots of opportunity for different people to have different favorites without any of them having to necessarily be better. Personally I like the flash the most, because the tone it usually has is more my jam, but I totally get why other people prefer other shows in the arrowverse. Cisco from the flash is my all time favorite arrowverse character, but I also really like Flash's Captain Cold, Dig and Felicity from Arrow, and Winn from Supergirl.
16:40 You don't even *KNOW* how much of an onion Oliver Queen is. Every season adds at least 3 more layers to his onion that you never knew was there and sometimes you realise you were pulling apart the wrong onion.
The way she just barely understood somethings but somehow at the same time was perfectly understanding other things was funny. I’m a huge arrow fan and I approached the show from a serious stand point because Arrow isn’t a lighthearted show but I find it interesting that she is able to approach from a lighthearted pov
Hope we get to see your reactions to the rest of the season if you continue. This season is easily my favourite season of a superhero themed show ever.
Omg just subbed! I LOVE this series and you girl are absolutely hilarious and beautiful! Love the energy! I am now going to binge watch this entire series lol!
the reason there is an order to how to watch it is because at one point they start to crossover into the other shows. so there will be a pt. 1 episode in arrow, then p2. will be a flash episode where they are both in both episodes. it gets even more complicate as more show get added. but its so good if you have the time to actually be involved in the "Arrowverse"
I remember the first episode of Arrow; back when they kept saying it was going to be super grounded and gritty. Meanwhile I watched the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow today... She goes on a rant when Sara dies. Meanwhile I watched the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow today...
BRO FINALLY! Angelina I promise you this show is WORTH it. Bein the first of the DCCW Universe shows to exist is the truest gift for how amazing the overall storyline flows and the tone maintains for post of the seasons (my absolute fav being S5). This next to Flash is easily one of best DC shows Ive seen ever beyond space and time. You're in for a ride fr!! 🙌🏾💙 (Btw Barry Allen's easily my favorite but have the heart for Oliver in the same way tho)
Oh my god!!! You are reacting to arrow?!! You are a superstar Angelina!! ✌♥ It's really a good show. And the first two seasons are greatest of all time!! Keep reacting to Arrow, Angelina!! ✌♥
flash happens i want to say in season 3 of arrow arrow has the most growth off the arrowverse shows, he is pretty much a different person by the end of the series and the series walks you through how be became the hood and eventually the green arrow
basically when this show came out they literally had no rights to batman and superman and a bunch of other characters. They made the green arrow batman in this show. which was a brilliant move.
Comment down below your favorite DC TV show character! ~
The Flash!
You should watch Happy Feet it's a great movie
Superman & Lois or Stargirl
Penguin. From "Gotham" Seriously.. One of the best origins of a villian on a TV show.
Batman even though he’s only shown for about 30 seconds at the end of arkham

Omg I’m rewatching Arrow right now. Best binge I’ve ever watched.
After seeing most of the seasons, watching the flashbacks in the pilot episodes hit different.
Flash arrow walking dead she’s watching every show I watched in middle school 😂
Arrow is one of the best and Greatest series of all time.

I love that I have seen this episode like 500 times but with your reactions I was reacting like I’ve never seen it
Cool watching this, reminds me how strong the first two seasons of Arrow were. Later seasons range from okay to decent, but I really think it had enormous potential from these first two seasons.
Best quote ever:
"Oh? Parkour?! Oh? Flipperoonies?!"

Yooooooo Hell yeahh...this caught me by surprise but thanks ange!

As regards getting arrows off quickly, the 'holster' AKA quiver was usually slung around the waist.
Longbowmen were rapid.
omgg i hope you do more arrow. this series was the first i remember loving and keeping track with.
Yes let the arrowverse begin, I love the comment that u said about people with the name Sarah die a lot😂 you couldn't be more right lol
I saw the first 20 second of Arrow again and im going to re-watch everything, starting after this reaction!
theres a tv show called chuck with a sarah main character playing as a spy that is evil at first but slowly turns. old show but its gold.
the last part when she said no not a love triangle because oliver doesnt want to be with her was hilarious
The first two seasons of arrow are the best cw’s dc universe has too offer highly recommend.
The progenitor of the Arrowverse... lets go
i wish i could experience this show for the first time i have rewatched it like 5 times and i will again.
I love watching people discover Arrow for the first time
