Arrow felt so pathetic, the writers clearly wanted to do a Batman show and just grabbed the guy who more closely resembled him and twisted him so he resembled more Batman at the cost of losing every important trait of his.

It’s criminal, how live action adaptations always undermine Oliver/Dinah relationship.

A Green Arrow & Black Canary show in the style of Mr & Ms. Smith in the DCU, maybe for the second chapter, would be peak

The fact that every dc movie is about the world ending really leaves street-level characters on the sideline.Except Bat man of course.

It's crazy of how Stephen Amell could have been a great comic accurate Green Arrow when you see how cool he really is in real life with his humor or hell, when GA did have humor in the Arrowverse crossovers. He's kind of like Henry Cavill of being more like his character in real life than the media.

the fact that green arrow in comics has beaten people like deathstroke and even red hood but people say that those characters were nerfed shows how underutilized he is

The whole appeal of Green Arrow is that he represents that anyone can be a hero. He's similar to Batman in origin but he's different in the way he goes about it, he's more of a jokester but he is more than capable of handling himself. He's more outspoken especially when it comes to politics but he's strong willed and always possesses the capacity to help people. His relationship with Dinah works too because they both share the same morals and values.

*2:45** To be fair, CW has been doing that since even way before the Arrowverse existed* -Half of Smallville villains where taken from the Justice Society -Flash 2014 stole a lot of Shazam & Teen Titans Rogues -Mosr supergirl villains are taken from Superman or are actually Heroes in the comics(They did so dirty to Red Tornado)

I honestly really like Arrow, but I think we can all agree that the show was trying to hard to be dark.

Never gonna forget how the DCAMU gave us no Oliver Queen, but five minutes of Speedy. No offense to Roy, but like what the f*ck

It’s crazy how this man doesn’t miss. Like you literally have said everything I’ve felt about DC in the past years

I absolutely love him in the comics, but I kinda dislike him in arrow because he’s trying so hard to be Batman.

Deathstroke is sort of like Doctor Doom he fights the fantastic four but he also has beef with the avengers, iron man, black panther etc so slade shouldnt really be restricted to being a nightwing/teen titans villain plus he's an assassin so it makes sense that he has beef with everybody

It’s weird how the DCAMU didn’t have Green Arrow but had Speedy in that universe, so I kinda wonder if Oliver truly is in that universe or not

I hope we could see an arrow and canary movie in the dcu. With Gunn prioritizing genre i think an action rom com with the two would fit perfectly

The problem is that DC is obsessed with Batman so when they couldn't get Batman they went with the B team in Green Arrow. Ra's Al Ghul wouldn't be interested in Green Arrow being his heir as he's not a genius. There's a reason why Batman and Ra's have so much in common since they are both legendary polymathic intellectuals first and legendary grandmaster-level one-man army warriors second. Green Arrow though not an idiot isn't even close to Batman in terms of intelligence. Batman is an intellectual prodigy amongst a class of William James Sidis-level prodigies while Green Arrow. Batman like Ra’s wants to rid the world of crime, corruption, and pollution but Ra's Al Ghul wants to cull 90 percent of the human population to do it. Though Green Arrow is a great warrior he's not on Batman or Black Canary's level. What Arrow CW did to Mr Terrific should be brought up on charges. If he was written correctly Oliver would be taking orders from him. Green Arrow is a great warrior, a good commander, a good teammate, and most of all a good well-intentioned grounded man that's why he works. Not as another watered-down Batman clone with watered-down Batman’s traits and villains. He works with his own traits and villains elevated to be grounded city-shaking threats. What Green Arrow should be fighting is the Ninth Circle with Count Vertigo one of the world's greatest swordsmen as the leader. Vertigo is using the Ninth Circle slave and drug empire to build up enough to overthrow his niece as monarch of Vlatava. To do so he sees a great opportunity to sell slaves and drugs in Seattle or Star City where he runs afoul of Green Arrow. Lastly, the treatment of Black Canary was awful. You could clearly see they did that for the teenage shippers to push Olicity drama to the forefront even in front of the plot.

Green Arrow is that guy you don't want at a distance, kinda like how Bullseye fights in Netflix Daredevil. It would be cool to see a villain get up close and personal, but Oliver's skill and willpower give him the win.

I found so insulting the DC NATION GREEN ARROW SHOW never got the GREEN Light those 3 pilots were Hilarious & Amazing, One can only Imagine what they could achieve with an animated show's format 6 resources +The Neon Colors fit the green arrow mythos so well

Can't forget brave and the bold GA a more arrogant take and kinda the butt of the joke but also really likable

Green arrow is one of the most charismatic superheros in comics, it’s surprising how they haven’t thought to use him in live action. A green arrow movie could actually be amazing

BB is the under dog of the titans, it doesn’t feel right without HIM and he can’t seem to do well without THEM (coming from a massive Gar fan.. it’s a sad case but it’s true)

I'm currently rewatching JLU. Best DCAU relationship ever... of all time.

A Green Arrow movie should an adaption of year one, in my humble opinión.

People needs to know that he isn't just Batman with a bow

Arrow was pretty good for the first 2 seasons except for parts where the writers tried so damn hard to make him sound like Christian Bale’s Batman. Also yea 3:19 Black Canary was disgustingly miscast and they should’ve let the blonde chick who played White Canary just be Black Canary like wtf?!!

Smallville Green Arrow was the best LAGA adaptation ever

I feel like Smallville got the correct tone and vibe for Green Arrow, in live action

Yes I love green arrow he is super underrated and was so good in jla. It showcases his character interaction with others, and his importance with the league. Black canry and green arrow is some of my favorite couples in comics. Jla and young just did black canry very well

One of the many reasons, I don't rock with DC much anymore, is their insistence on gassing up Batman, usually to the detriment and ridicule of others. GA is a dope character, but he gets little shine because he's relegated to a Batman knockoff. He deserves more respect. Also, thank you for mentioning Mr Terrific. He's such a ridiculously underused character. And the one on Arrow was trash. Hopefully, Gunn does him justice.

What is your opinion on Green Arrow from Smallville? That version of Green Arrow was originally meant to have a spin off that lead to the formation of CW’s Arrow. 2:37 Silencer too. Silencer in the comics have a connection to Talia al Ghul and the League of shadow. Silencer was like Talia’s Dick Grayson but rightfully doesn’t want to be an assassin anymore. As much as I appreciate Silencer appears in adaptation. The CW version of Silencer is weird. They established This version is a Meta Human but she need this tech device to use her powers. Why? In the comic Silencer can say shhh and Silent zone without any device. Arrow didn’t do Silencer, dirty I do like her fight with Black Canary. But it is still weird. I should mention Huntress was in Arrow too. And Huntress is also connected to Batman family. 2:58 Brother Blood and Damian Darhk are Teen Titans and Titans Villains. 3:13 Onomatopoeia was in Superman and Lois. You didn’t notice that? Vertigo was in Arrow, but as Drug Dealer than a count. Also there two of them. Cecil Adams and Werner Zytle So far in my mind of original green Malcom Merlyn and Cupid are the only Green Arrow Villains Along with Vertigo. I believe there is more. But if it make you Feel better there is a misconception that Clock King is a Batman Villain. Turns out, Clock King was in fact a Green Arrow Villain in the comics in 1960. 4:00 I am jealous that James Gunn is writing The Terrfics. I am a writer and want to make an animated write of the Terrfics. But I’m the final horse finish the race. Wish I can write Wonder Woman animated series so I can elevate Wonder Woman’s Rogue Gallery. Also giving Donna, Cassie and possibly Yara more respect. 7:06 this maybe point but I want to say it Really annoying that Injustice Jay Nakumara knows about the Death of Green Arrow. Seriously all that happened in the fortress of solitude but somehow Jay Nakumara knows. This add of Jay Nakumara being a Gary Stu and Tom Taylor being a Narcissist and messing up The Injustice Timeline. 8:25 Only Speedy(Roy Harper) appears DC AMU. *Only Him!!!* and he only appears in a flashback and Cameo. We need a new team that excludes Batman. Maybe Sideways and Red Canary can start a new team. Not titans not outsiders and not Young Justice. Something new and entirely original. 9:49 That’s true. Even George Lopez likes Ted Kord Blue Beetle more than Batman. Batman is just overrated.

Green Arrow would’ve made for a cool extension to the Batman Arkham franchise and I’m genuinely surprised considering how much DC tried to make Green Arrow like Batman that they didn’t make a Arkham game with some bow mechanics and have Oliver Queen’s rogues as the villains.

I feel like it's the same with Hawkeye in his place in the avengers he always feels like he has to prove himself because everyone has powers and he doesn't. which is why when he first joined he was kind of a jerk to everyone. Nothing captures this more than Avengers EMH which is my favorite version of the character outside of comics I also love his dynamic with hulk and black panther which is why I never liked the MCU version.

green arrow is really awesome and super underrated in my opinion.

Lore of Green Arrow is the UNDERDOG of the Justice League momentum 100

Green Arrow??? BLACK CANARY IS FAR MORE UNDERRATED 😭😭

Fax I agreed with everything you said, I perfer batgoat, but green arrow is still awesome.

The Green Arrow is so interesting and while I'm glad that he gained popularity from the Arrow show, it didn't do him enough justice as much as it did make him a diet Batman who even fought most of his villains like wtf. He's more of a Nightwing than Batman 10 times out of 10.

If anything, James Gunn’s era of the DC Cinematic Universe seems like the perfect place to put a more comic accurate Green Arrow. It’s likely that if they do end up adapting Oliver, they could end up playing into the fact that he isn’t taken seriously by a number of people (both in universe and outside it) because of his lack of powers despite being “super-abled” (or rather, what comic fans call “peak human) and choice of gimmick and equipment, but if done properly, it could be used to contrast the characters strengths as someone that represents the “little guy” and is focused more on doing as much good as he can despite his limitations instead of grand, epic acts of heroism typically associated with higher level superheroes.

Bro, I swear CW wanted to make a Batman show but they were told no so they were like OK BET and just made green arrow Batman

Lmfao in the animated series every time they start talking shit about black canary fighting immediately in the next frame they do flying. It’s so funny to me

Oliver Queen is my favorite DC character. It feels like Arrow was going to make a Batman show but couldn't get the rights. Amell did an amazing job with the material he was given, but I wish the writers actually did him and the role Justice.

I bet Warner Animation Group will sideline the SHIT out of Green Arrow in any of their next quote unquote “animated” “movies” when they clearly see Batman as their coping mechanism to show their bias!

I honestly don't remember Talia at all in Arrow but Nyssa is my favorite character probably in the entire Arrowverse. And I love how she's always like, "You're my husband, Oliver. Of course I'll help you." Like, I think she's more or less how Talia is supposed to be... but Talia is a bit more loyal to Ra's and less trustworthy. Nyssa is the best. And she even trains Oliver and Felicity's kids in the future? "Aunt Nyssa" or whatever? Literally the only Flash Forward scenes I didn't skip because I was SO SICK of all the flashbacks when they started doing flash forwards I just noped past them... but the like 2 Nyssa scenes were great, still. Deathstroke was also pretty good in the show. And honestly, I liked everything with Sara Lance. I never really cared much about Black Canary but Laurel was somehow STILL disappointing like 98% of the time... but Sara was just always good, imo. Main reason I kept watching Legends. Although Matt Ryan's Constantine is also perfect, imo. Then again, also not really a fan of Constantine so... maybe that's a sacrilegious statement to actual fans? Idk.

They called him ROZ Al Ghoul (ty for pronouncing it correctly) but the reason is because they wanted a Batman show but instead used GA because they both are billionaires with gadgets even though GA is more like Tony Stark (MCU) with a bow and arrow (in terms of personality). If they wanted a bat name character, dark and brooding, Red Hood...right there. He has next to nothing in terms of his own media independent of Batman.

I'm praying green arrow in the movies is like JL Oliver🙏🙏 and they better do Mr terrific right the show tried to RUIN mr terrific 😂😂They literally made him gay for no reason he has never been that before, made him no seem like a capable fighter, and didn't make him too smart even tho he is a genius

GL thinks the JL doesn't protect the little guy yet isn't that what saving the world is, saving all the little guys?

One of the biggest missed opportunities of the dceu was that Charlie hunnam wanted to play green arrow and WB ignored him. And now by the time the dcu introduces him hunnam would have aged out of the character. And that was a perfect casting.

Can u make a shazam video, he is also underestimated

The underdog of The Justice League is Arthur Curry/Aquaman

He’s cool and all but I don’t like the idea of having him being a founding member of the justice league it just looks weird

Can you do Shazam next please 😁

4:03 Justice League/Unlimited has the best portrayal of ****pick any DC character***** ever put to screen.

4:34 completely off topic but I love that in almost every verse that Clark and Bruce look alike

That’s the best way to describe it, they tried to make the arrow into the Batman.

The "newer" dc are probably worried about audiences confusing the "green arrow" and the "hawkeye" characters up.

Talking about wasted potential... Vixen needs more love 🧡

Man this guy deserves a tv show

We need a green arrow game

I know Arrow isn't a perfect adaptation & I know it has some issues(specially during season4), But calling it a BAD SHOW is a Balant Lie, I like the show for the same reason I love ARMORED ADVENTURES, ROTTMNT & TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED, differs from the source material in order to bring some amazing Story-Lines

I strongly agree with this opinion

3:29 to me, this is like having Tom Holland and Zendaya in your movie, but then you kill Zendaya and replace her with a twin that looks exactly like her.

The big problem is that Oliver is the Brian Griffin of DC.

Excelent analysis!!

I think a Green Arrow video game would be pretty cool.

Hawkman is underused as well.

Oliver needs his own AAA game

Justice for my boy Ollie ✊

I love how you didn’t at all mention his appearance in the dark knight returns comic or even movie. But eh

I loved batman unlimited growing up

I partially grew my handlebar because of green arrow. (Tried the whole van dyke, but my blond chin hairs weren’t thick enough to pull it off). My other inspiration is Alex Armstrong.

Isnt Green Arrow in JL Action?

They better put him in the DCU

Surprised there's no mention of Green Arrow and his rivalry with Bats in the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

Just a friendly reminder that green arrow once shot an undead aquaman, the king of Atlantis, in the head on a kraken with raging winds and brutal waves. Bro is basically him

Finally I was saying this for years Arrow was cute but the show was ridiculous!! And it pissed me off omg I’m soo glad.

Sure maybe the CW show ain’t the most accurate representation of Green Arrow but it is a complete fallacy to be calling it a bad show. Hell, the CW portrayal of Arrow was better than any live action Batman. To those hating on Arrow, give it a watch.

He's basically Spider-Man with money, as far as character arcs go. 😅

If they wanted a comic accurate GA then he should be cracking jokes. Slade also fights the JL so he works too.

If Hollywood would just stop trying to always make Green Arrow into a poor-man's Batman, he'd be great.

Hey, if you think Ollie Queen gets tge shaft, his son Connor Hawke has it even worse.

How awful that sound Black Canary betrayed memory of her husband and leave happily ever after with his version from another universe, and all of this because in god damm sequile we need Green Arrow and Joker no matter of logic, morality and common sense.

PREACH!

This has nothing to do with Green Arrow but I am disappointed that I didn't Dick Grayson's origin to become Nightwing in Young Justice, and I agreee we need a more accurate Green Arrow in the upcoming DC films.

Arrow wasn’t a true adaptation of Green Arrow. When I think of Green Arrow, I think of the DCAU. Hopefully somewhere down the line, the Gunverse will do G.A. and Black Canary justice.

What is the animation from at the end. It looks like Green Arrow is in The Boondocks.

Ngl bro I wish hawkgirl got even half the attention green arrow gets

I love Archer characters and green arrow is my favorite. I liked him more than Hawkeye well I knew him first. Just the design and aesthetic just hit the robin hood look 💚 🏹

Super random but… They should make a green arrow video game, that is connected to the dcu. The game play should be similar to the game, tomb raider and Uncharted. We already had an arrow tv show, so why not introduce us to the character in a different way. Just throwing sum random ideas out.

Yeah im tired of having to defend my favorite comic hero with my damn life....

"his inaccurate version" clears the other green arrow versions lets be real

While Arrow isn't the best Green arrow adaptation it is a pretty good one. Credit where credit is due It did give the character more of a spotlight in DC live action. It also introduced new characters into DC lore John Diggle and felicity smoke who were canonized in the comics. It made him more popular and it got me into Green Arrow mythology and comics. The show made me a devoted fan. When James Gunn reboots the DC universe and brings Green arrow into it, i hope he gives the character his own solo movie or series. They could even make both a tv show and a movie and incorporate both elements from the comics and arrow tv series.

Arrow is good by itself but as part of the bigger dc nation doesn’t stack

dc just downplays other more interesting characters just to d-ride Batman lol it’s pathetic

No he isn't. I think you've been watching too much justice league unlimited to believe something like that.

Arrow Didn't feel like Ollies characters but batman Ollie is a jokester first he like to crack a joke hell batman the brave and the bold gave him an overconfident personality but ollie is a down to earth guy who helps his friends and girlfriend Black canary there relationship feels real because it's written like a real relationship they care about each other but have their own struggles and let's not forget Justice league unlimited the best characterization of him to date

Green Arrow is better than Batman. Oliver is one of my favourites in DC and deserves more of the spotlight Where as Batman is overrated

Green Arrow aka Batman at home

FACTSSSS I GOT AUSTIN BUTLER OR LIAM HEMSWORTH

Bruce probably going to get green arrows help after events in Gotham since not only is Bruce poor and alone but also his weaponized personality identity disorder backfiring and zerr an arr now as the main batman gaslighting everyone and inside the failsafe robot that can solo the JL

I HATE ARROW TILL THIS DAY. That show wanted to be batman so bad for no reason
