Ok guys as you know DC has been trying to cope with the Marvel conquest. And they have found there gold ticket. A while back they made a series called Arrow and it was about the DC character Green Arrow. It's great. First off I love the chose of character, not many people know about the emerald archer and I personally am a fan of Oliver Queen. So lets talk about the series in general. I thought that it had great pacing to it, the series took it's time to develop the characters and there stories. One of my favourite things that they did was the fact that people didn't start calling Oliver Queen Green Arrow. At first they just started calling him "the vigilante",then they started calling him "the hood" and just now in season 2 have they started calling him the "Arrow". Also the evolution of Queens personality is also very well done. He starts off just being the hood so he can have vengeance but he learns that he can help people and be more then a vigilante. He also has a very cool costume, it's just basic green leather with a cloth hood but it still works.
The show also has a very good supporting cast.
John Diggle: John is a really cool character. He starts off just being hired to protect Oliver Queen but after queen shares his secret with Diggle they form a dynamic duo and start to protect Starling city together. Diggle is different then queen because he doesn't have anything to prove so he acts as Oliver''s conscious and try's to steer queen on to a lighter path. But John does have his own vendettas, and the scene when he told queen that he was going to avenge his brother by killing Deadshot was done very well.
Thea Queen: Thea is a character that was created simply so you hate her. She's like Joffrey but less punchable. Thea was actually a cool character because she showed the viewers how people reacted to Oliver being considered dead. She is still pretty annoying but you kind of root for her.
Felicity Smoke: Felicity is a fun character. She is a hacker that works for Queen Consolidated. She just sort of a awkward babbler but she is pretty funny.
But the real Prize winner are the villains. The show has done a great job of bringing in characters from DC and it's been a wild ride. They done Deadshot, count vertigo, Shado, brother blood, Merlyn and Deathstroke, DEATHSTROKE!!!!!
This is really good for DC because Arrow has opened up so many more chances for DC to expand. There doing a flash show, a Gotham show and a show about John Constantine. But they can't become lazy with this. Marvel may not be doing as good a job of producing TV shows but Agents of Shield isn't terrible and I enjoy it.
So Arrow do you watch it? Do you like it? Also what do you think of the new Gotham, Flash and Constantine shows?
