Arrow [The CW] [** Spoilers **]

Lucas Hood

Ending was like the ending to Rocky 3.

Mr E

Both crossover episodes were very good - I hope they do more of them.

They even went as far as splicing the music from both shows - little hints of the Arrow music in the Flash episode, and little hints of the Flash music in the Arrow episode. They put a lot of thought into it.

The CW is knocking it out of the park this year - 4 strong shows that I love.

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke will be returning later specifically in episode 14 of Season 3

How about a note that this spoiler is for way further into the series and not just for the episode most recently aired, in Ameriaca?

Mr E

I've edited that post to add context.

I think I actually preferred this crossover to the one on Flash. The Flash episode was full of great fan service but the villain was weak(I know he was intentionally an after thought) . The Arrow on the other hand had similar levels of fan service, a better villain, better humour and its emotional beats landed all the harder from coming from a more honest place and not triggered by a meta human.

Just curious, which 4? I assume Flash, Arrow, 100 and ??? I watch those 3 and Whose Line is it Anyway on CW

Mr E

Supernatural.

CastorTroy

Ah yeah that's another I watch as well. Used to do Vampire Diaries but gave up near the beginning of the last season

I feel like I'm missing out by not watching the flash they kept referring to it

Mr E

The Flash is excellent - you should start it.

mightyreds

really enjoyed those 2 crossovers thought it was 2 good shows combined to make an excellent show, the 2 casts really merged well

Straylight

The two crossover shows are the first I've seen of The Flash other than the earlier bit in Arrow, and tbh I don't think I'll be tuning into it. I found the characters, particularly Barry himself, quite annoying, and the guy in the wheelchair just isn't likeable. But what bothered me more is that no matter how much Arrow stretches the bounds of credulity, at the end of the day he doesn't have any superpowers. It just didn't feel right introducing characters into his world that do.

I'd watch the first few episodes of the show proper before casting judgment. Watching two crossovers where they are setting out to emphasise the differences in the two hero's /teams is maybe not the best way to judge a series. Watch up to episode 4 the one with Wentworth miller as Captain Cold, if it's still not your cup of tea then fair enough.

What the crossover really did for me was highlight how fcuking annoying Ollie is. Everyone was having great fun in these episodes except him and it really has begun to grate.

You need to remember that it's not "his world" - It's the DC comics universe. Anyone from the entire DC universe could in theory appear in a crossover episode.

Similar to the marvel universe.

So much for no super powers in the Arrow universe.

Had they said that from the off?

Once we got "miracuru" I think it was only a matter of time

Yeah it's getting a bit annoying but I would be pissed too if I were after loosing a few billion.

On that, how are they still able to afford all their stuff??

To be honest, I've only ever read it on this forum. It looks like they decided the cross overs were too appealing.

Yeah I think even though he lost the company and house he would still have a few million left that he only uses for Arrow supplies and equipment. All the trick arrows and costumes are made by a guy called Lodai from Bludhaven. in the Arrow Season 2.5 comic it shows Diggle going to Bludhaven to pay for the equipment and being told that he is paying too little.
Also Oliver flew commercial to Corto Maltese.

I'm sure he'd have a trust fund no?

The sort thats put in "trust" till your 25 , I'm not sure what age Ollie is meant to be but I'd imagine if he didn't burn through that in his playboy phase he definitely has in his Vigilante phase.

StaticAge11

Not to sound bad but it could be

his mothers life insurance payout

he is living off?

TheGoldenAges

What the hell happened to Walter Steele actually, don't think he's been mentioned once this season?

Kirby

Do you want to canon answer or the real life answer?

I'd wager the actor playing him has better things to be doing.

EoinMcLovin

Holy ****. Now that was how you do a mid season finale. Cracking episode

TheGoldenAges

Lazarus Pit... That is all

Yeah kinda obvious when

Ra's said his last battle was 67 years ago

Theory on

who saves Oliver
Either Maseo or Nyssa knowing that he didn't really kill Sara
or Malcolm who decides to control Oliver the same way he did to Thea.( He obviously knew that Oliver had no chance against Ra'As)
