What good is a superhero comicbook series if the hero's in it aint SUPER!!!! I cant wait untill SHIELD hits the tube to once again show DC how to make a proper SUPER hero comicbook series!!!!

How much longer can they press the non super hero rule these companies needs to stop hating on the SUPER side of the SUPER HERO comic genre. and start embracing it!!

Oh yes SHIELD will show Arrow! with its emphasis ON NON SUPERPOWERED CHARACTERS no one cares about, and a confirmation that no superhero cameos are intended.

Arrow is [frick]ing badass. Watch it as its own thing and the show is so cool. [frick] SHIELD, human superheroes/villains are better than just humans.

@thewonderer if i wanted to see a guy in a green hoody holding a bow and arrow i would rent Robin in the fricking hood with kevin cosner! No i dont want that i want my Superhero comicbook movies to be what they are SUPER hero's not just hero's. And i have seen it its nice but where is the Super???? Dont hate on super powers, there are plenty of CSI series on tv you can watch!

@Battabing come again what where you lying ------------
-----> Josh Wedon said "It's new characters. It needs to be its own thing. It needs to be adjacent [to The Avengers]... What does S.H.I.E.L.D. have that the other superheroes don't? And that, to me, is that they're not superheroes, but they live in that universe. Even though they're a big organization, that [lack of powers] makes them underdogs, and that's interesting to me." Whedon explained that while the show would involve people with POWERS and the spectacle of science-fiction storytelling, it would focus on "the peripheral people ... the people on the edges of the grand adventures."

Get your fact straight son!

I don't want super powers. It gets kind of silly, see meteor freak of the week on CWs previous show. There are many comics out their that don't rely on super powers, just like this show. As for the Marvel fans griping about a Shield rip off. Careful on that. Both Avengers and Fantastic Four are JLA rip offs, and don't get me started on your Doom Patrol with Timber Wolf rip off.

IF YOUR NOT GOING INTO SUPER POWERS..FINE...SO WHY NOT BATMAN?..A SPIKE IN THE RATINGS WOULD TOTALLY HAPPEN IF YOU INTRODUCED A BRUCE WAYNE ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING BATMAN.

To all of you Marvelite hypocrite trolls you guys do know Marvel is a rip off of DC right? DC is the original company don't mess with the original.

@GUNSMITH

Because this show is about Oliver, not Bruce. You want a show about a Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, go petition the studios to start a show called "The Bat" or something.

@MarkOfTheDemon

Funny how many people don't know that, eh? xD

Hydrox cookies are the original and Oreos are a knock off, which pack of cookies are you grabbing off the shelft? Just because DC is the original, doesn't mean it's better!

Well Blackula ATM JLA is outselling Xmen, Justice League is outselling Avengers, Batman is outselling Spiderman, Batgirl, Aquaman, Nightwing and Green Lantern are outselling, Cap, Wolvie, Hulk and Deadpool. Jason Todd is outselling Thor. Oreos are outselling Hydrox.

In this case DC is better than Marvel. DC has the better comics live action, and animated shows games animated movies, and imprint Vertigo. Live action movies Marvel only has excess with the exception of IM1 while DC has quality TDK trilogy Watchmen V for Vendetta RED A History Of Violence Road to Perdition, and Superman 1 and 2.

JohnTom88 - 3/26/2013, 1:25 AM
Better comics live action? From the people who brought you Green Lantern, gangbanged by three Marvel movies in one year? From the people who brought you Jonah Hex, a movie less popular than Ghost Rider? Marvel Studios keep going on with 2 movies per year because of the backing of previous movies and Marvel movies is more synonymous with CURRENT comic movies than Nolan's Batman. Not the same situation with DC. Batman sells Batman, not DC brand sells Batman. Marvel will make people watch GOTG and Ant Man because of the Marvel logo.


Watchmen, V for Vendetta, RED yadda-yadda non mainstream based from comics movies. Yes you can name them as good movies. As popular movies, pffft it's not close. Mainstream movie watchers have forgotten about those movies. They don't know that these movies come from DC.

GarthRanzz "I don't want super powers. It gets kind of silly, see meteor freak of the week on CWs previous show. There are many comics out their that don't rely on super powers, just like this show."

Man come on aint it a little bit stupid to say that you dont want to see super powerd charachters in a series thats based on a comicbook that features super powerd charachters!?! Thats like having a cop show with no criminals in it!!
not having any super power in this show means that more than have of geen arrows original stories WONT be told!! how fvcktup is that!

We wont see Black Canary
Or some of his own original villains!!!

Like Brick (Daniel Brickwell) has flesh made of stone and became the crime lord of Star City and Green Arrow's nemesis.
or others like
Count Vertigo
Ankov
Anton Allegro
Discord
the Wizard

Why would you disown your own source material??? What the hell is wrong with DC?? and some of their fans!!
Why arent they proud of their superhero charachters??
And when the fans themself start to say things like they dont want to see superpowerd hero when the core business of this industry revolves around superhero's with powers!! than some thing is very VERY wrong!!

It seems to me like they are ashame to show the world what theyr core Business is!!

Dont hate the Super in hero folks, imbrace it!!

OH GOD NOT THIS AGAIN,CANT PEOPLE GET OVER IT, SERIOUSLY. YOU EITHER LIKE MARVEL OR DC OR BOTH, sad little kids, due you argue over everything colours, coke or pepsi, up or down, both are comic companies with colourful characters who have abilities and different writers have different takes on characters....END OFF.....how can you like one and not the other
ScRipt69
ScRipt69 - 3/26/2013, 5:58 AM
@KingMarvel, no because if Black Canary was superpower endowed then every week the climax of every fight would be her screaming and a slowed down special effect, Arrow is BRILLIANT as it is, why does it need special effects of superheros to make it better, story is king not CGI
KingMarvel
KingMarvel - 3/26/2013, 6:43 AM
@ScRipt69 offcourse a good story is king but would you change that story so much to fit this idiotic no power rule? Why change a good story in the first place?? a story line like Dead Again you wont see way because of this stupid rule. Why no black Canary My god green arrow and Black canary where married once! what they gonna change that to!!?? How wack is that!!

@Batmaniac im a tool for saying it like it is. you hating on your own source material how lame is that. I can post on any thread i like baby.... If you dont like you dont have to read it playa. Its a forum you asswipe!

You guy's aint fans of this genre i bet you guy's dont even read the comics. Because if you was you would be mad about that no power rule to!

Its not a Marvel/dc thing playa, its a stick to the source material thing baby!

Dont hate the SUPER, embrace it!

@Batmaniac "@KingMarvel

Your a tool for hating on everything that's DC and coming on DC articles to hate. Your a classic Marvelite. DC fans don't need bias Marvel fans telling them anything, especially when half of Marvel's shit is a DC rip off including Hawkeye, who is a Green Arrow rip off."


Batmaniac Im sorry bruh but thats where you rwong i aint hating, i like the show but that does not mean that the show is perfect! The no power rule is blocking a lot of good story's that could be told but wont be because of the no power rule. And for a superhero comic charachter thats just wack! If you can see pass that than you just as blind as ScRipt69.

Yes im a Marvel fan but i can injoy Dc series (my god i was brought up with adam west playing batman!!)

ScRipt69 said
"if Black Canary was superpower endowed then every week the climax of every fight would be her screaming and a slowed down special effect, Arrow is BRILLIANT as it is, why does it need special effects of superheros to make it better, story is king not CGI"

So every single villain is a martial art expert now!?!?!thats the climax every week now, see were im getting at.

Its not just the story that should make the series but having him take out a Super powerd villains would be more intresting than having him fight mob bos or martial art experts every week. Seeing him go against supernatural impossible odds just with his bow and arrow is the strength of this charachter, and makes him intresting.



If you can see that than im sorry batmaniac and ScRipt69, because you guy's just dont GET IT!

Dont hate the SUPER embrace it!

@FreakingIntelligentRobertGriffin I see what your saying than the question that we should be asking is should Superhero comicbooks witch are based on fantasie be more realistic on screen? and in doing so astrange from the core from witch they where created? And if so what does that say about the fantasie part of the genre?

Because its allmost as if the producer of the green arrow show are saying :we like the charachter but we dont like the fantasie part. thats a slap in DC's face

And thats my problem with this show.

If Marvel woud make a Punisher tv series but he could not kill his villains like in the comics would think the show is lame and would not watch it.

fanboys bitching again, lmbo. who the [frick] gives a shit about powers, because superpowers beats good story telling anytime. rofl. smallville had superpowered mother[frick]ers and you lil bitches still hated it. let arrow do its thing, the non-powered route is working for it.

ugh, too think you lil bitches made me defend a show i hate. yes, i actually hate arrow, not because of lack of "supa pawas" but because its a [frick]ing rip off of everything batman begins and the dark knight pretending to be dark and edgy. [frick]ing morons.

KingMarvel - 3/26/2013, 10:14 AM
Batmaniac Man you a stupid fool i respect green arrow to the fullest so much that i want to see him on tv like i see him in the comics and cartoons, i dont want a WATERT down green arrow i respect the source material i respect the fantasie side i embrace the super!

But you and warner would rather sell out the super just to have a tv show.

They are not embracing ALL of dc,s material. theyr leaving the super out. And i cant criticize that? Its a fORUM BRUH!!


They can go for realism and if they said it from day one more power to them! I can criticize and analyze al i want its a forum you dont like it step of. its as simple as that.
If you cant handle being on a forum than you need to go bruh because its only making you look stupid. and thats not a good look for you bruh!

@ColdSweatyMan Lesson 1 !An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. Do you understand where you are? Because not knowing where are aint a good look either baby!

Embrace the super dont hate it!

@batmaniac You fool you just dont get it brother. I just want the industry to respect the source material instead of nitpicking from these chararcters and missrepresenting these charachters. But your just a Dc Zombie that cant see pass that baby.

A hissy fit hahaha And offcourse i know not all Dc have superpowers you asswipe. but thats not the point bitch!

Like i said its not a Marvel Dc thing ita a respect the source material thing. But hey you know what. im done here.

Actually King Marvel....the Mike Grell run of GA is one of my favorite comics runs of all time. When Hal Jordan appeared they didn't show a ring or really mention GL. I have cringed at most super powers showing up in his title, besides Deathstroke and Solomon Grundy in the Metzler run because that was memorable. GA going up against super powers makes me think of how dead Han Solo would be, if he met the Emperor.
