Friendly reminder that every blog I run is an Arrow hate blog
There's a lot that I hate about Arrow right now, but let me tell you some of the things I hate the most.
I hate the fact that Oliver Queen is a lying, hypocritical douchebag who has no capacity for empathy, yet we're supposed to root for him and believe he's on a hero's journey.
I hate the fact that they took Black Canary, who in the comics was (at least preboot) a badass woman who was also overall pretty well-adjusted, and turned her into a Broken Bird badass.
I hate the fact that they took Dinah Laurel Lance and Oliver Queen, who had a sweet and loving relationship in the comics (pre-New 52), and make them the most messed up couple in the history of television.
I also hate the fact that the current Green Arrow comic series apparently took cues from the TV show, but Oliver Queen in the comics is VASTLY superior because he is capable of basic empathy.
