And so... Here's the rest? Also, while I'm of a fan of both Batman and Green Arrow, I an in no way an expert and am almost definitely going to get stuff wrong!
Side note: I'm coming from after having written more of this post and just want y'all know that I'm kinda jumping all over the place with what I'm saying. So... Be ready for my chaotic adhd rambling, lmao.
But my overall message, is right. Or, well... You know what I mean.
Before I start the main rabt, though, i want to go into some background about my... Viewing history,i guess you'd call it.
Arrow was actually my introduction to the wider world of DC, because prior to watching Flash (i started watching Flash first and then found out about the otheers and started Arrow so I could watch the arrow-verse properly. Prior to that, the only dc stuff I cared about was Harley Quinn. I'd started with marvel after a friend at the time introduced me to the mcu. In 2015/2016, that same friend introduced me to Harley Quinn when the original Suicide Squad was coming out. (they were a little older than me, BTW and looking back, I'm pretty sure they read comics).
But I didn't even care much about Batman then. The arrowverse got me interested in the rest of dc and later, when Titans came out, i loved Jason Todd and found that there was only 2 other movies (and 0 shows) that had him and one of them is the one where he dies and isn't really in the movie much.... And that's why I started really reading comics. I still only dabble, but I do read them. Also, i want to note that prior to the titabs thing, I'd watched Constantine and upon finding out (after finishing it) that it had been cancelled and the cliff hanger was never going to be resolved, i read some hellblazer. But no other comics, at the time.
And eventually, I started reading some green Arrow and... That leads me to the next bit.
The Oliver Queen in the comocs (and everything else, except arrow) would literally hate the Oliver in arrow.
Please understand, I'm not hating people for liking arrow.
I just hate that people think that is what green arrow is always like. My problem is a lack of information and a lack of more accurate portrayals.
Because there is no Thea Queen in the comics and her whole dying/resurrection thing?
Roy is... Honestly, he's not the same personality-wise and in the comics, he's a red head. Beyond that, I can't think of much to say, though I know there probably is stuff.
Ph, yeah! That brings me to something else.
Black Canary..... Oof. They really did her wrong.
Also detective lance? Jim Gordon.
Oliver in the comics is pretty hardcore left-wing, though whether he's socialist, communist, etc is kinda up for debate.
Oliver and Bruce! They.. They don't hate each other or anything.. But Oliver is FAMOUS for fighting with the other Leaguers over politics
Bruce Wayne is a literal billionaire.
They don't hate each other but they don't really like each other.
Anyway, i just remembered Felicity ends up in a wheelchair because she's apparently Barbara Gordon.
(Note the heavy sarcasm there).
Alright, I'm done with this post.
Hopefully, I can come up with a better, understandable, and more concise post tomorrow when I'm not tired. (It's almost 11:30 pm right now).
For now, I'm going to just post this.
( @ladyphlogiston - totally forgot to tag you last night i plan to rewrite this at some point).
