BunsenBurner March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 Problem is, now that MG realizes that this strategy of putting all the Olicity stuff in the comics and then giving fans crap on the show is profitable without costing the show viewers, there's nothing to stop him from doing the exact same thing with the season 3.5 comics. So he could just end this season with Oliver and Felicity in a good place, and then, repeating the same formula as this season, he'll put all of the stuff that we want to see on the show into the comics again. He's already said that somewhere. He said that all the Olicity stuff would be in 3.5 comics. It's ridiculous. 1 Link to comment
strikera0 March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 (edited) He's already said that somewhere. He said that all the Olicity stuff would be in 3.5 comics. It's ridiculous. He has? Well, if I were an Olicity shipper I would be crossing my fingers and toes right now that the season doesn't end with a Felicity/Oliver hookup. Otherwise, the writers are going to put the first 4-5 months of their coupledom in the Arrow 3.5 comics and have them break up on the show in early season 4 to give viewers more Oliver/Felicity angst.

apinknightmare March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 I've never seen MG mention putting Olicity stuff in the 3.5 comics. The only comment I've seen from him about them is that they are already planning on what to put in them, nothing specific about storylines or anything. 1 Link to comment

This really needs to be gif'd with Roy juts laying there. And it needs to become Roy's mantra for the rest of his time with Team Arrow. Like it should be his tagline.

foreverevolving March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 (edited) I don't see any problems with the windows being there- First of all they're facing in to the room, windows like that are usually sturdy enough that you need one hell of a force to break them- like when Oliver was jumping from one in the season 2 premier.. that sort of force, third: gravity usually does it's job and you either fall on your head/slide to your back or forward onto your feet. really my only issue is that they are standing too far from the pole that they can actually fall, and that it's been ages since i've done one of those! ETA: because pool, poll & pole and three very different things! Edited March 29, 2015 by foreverevolving Link to comment
apinknightmare March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 I don't care how sturdy the widows are. My fear of heights would probably prevent me from even being in that condo, much less standing that close to the window ON MY HANDS. Nooooooooope. Link to comment

KirkB March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 Speaking of KC, after running her quote through my head for a while I think what she meant was "being the only female superhero who is on TV right now" but misspoke and the interviewer or editor just ran with it. Because, yeah, otherwise that sentence structure is all kinds of wacky. If indeed that is what she meant then she's right. If she genuinely thinks she's the first, however, she hasn't watched TV before. 1 Link to comment
scarynikki12 March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 And Melinda May even if she doesn't have a mask. Skye's getting there but needs to get control of her powers first. KC probably either forgot about Shield or doesn't know anything about it. 2 Link to comment
Genki March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 One thing I have always liked was the Cast of Arrow and Shield are always really positive about each other. Between Tweets (CB & EBR) and SA's Arrow/Shield the crossover answer in one his Facebook Q&A one. Even the Flash cast singing the Firefly theme song, it gives me warm fuzzies. 1 Link to comment
scarynikki12 March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 I just remembered Peggy Carter. Not a superhero in the same way as Captain America but she can kick ass, take names, and save the day as much as anyone. KC probably is too busy to watch much television so it would be easy to forget about the female heroes. 3 Link to comment
TanyaKay March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 I think KC does not even watch her own show in its entirety. Arrow has/has had at least three bad ass fighter ladies in Caity Lotz's Sara Lance, Celina Jade's Shado and Rila Fukushima's Tatsu Yamashiro (Katana). This season alone, Willa Holland's Thea has had much more impressive fight scenes than Katie's Laurel. 5 Link to comment
Starfish35 March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 She may mean she's the only masked female superhero on TV right now. If that's the case, then yes, she's right - the SHIELD people don't wear masks. Link to comment
blixie March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 Yes I think she means *currently* she is the only female full on comic book superhero with costume, mask, and "alter ego", aka The Black Canary. Nobody on SHIELD or Agent Carter had/has that. No one on Arrow is that besides her either. Nyssa wears a costume but she doesn't have an alter ego, a mask, and she's mostly an assassin not hero, and Sara is of course dead. She meant very specifically in the classic iconic sense she is the only one currently being portrayed. Link to comment
dtissagirl March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 Which just makes me wanna cry. An avalanche of superhero shows, and the only codenamed masked lady superhero is KC. Sadface. 4 Link to comment
Sakura12 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 (edited) Yes, but all the other women (Peggy, Bobbi, May, Lady Sif, even Skye) are more heroic then Laurel is right now. That's more important to me then wearing a silly costume with a mask. Edited March 30, 2015 by Sakura12 9 Link to comment

That's more important to me then wearing a silly costume with a mask. Oh, I agree. I just didn't want to jump all over KC for what I interpreted as a misquote. She IS the only named, superheroic female character on TV at the moment (was Bobbi ever referred to as Mockingbird?), even if TV is chock full of far more interesting and actually heroic women.

Sakura12 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 (edited) Bobbi goes by Mockingbird (I keep wanting to say Mockingjay, stupid Hunger Games) on Agents of Shield. She's named, she just doesn't wear a mask. Same with Lady Sif. KC is the only masked...something (she's far from a hero in my eyes) on TV right now. Edited March 30, 2015 by Sakura12 4 Link to comment
statsgirl March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 You can see the interview the page before here starting around 4:40. She said "it's awesome, being the first woman superhero on television [she looks a bit puzzled].. as of now." It sounds like she's heard her bosses are making a Supergirl series, but not about Agents of SHIELD. Link to comment
Menrva March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 God, I just want KC to shut up because now my dislike of the character she plays is spilling over into me disliking her as a person. And that's not really fair. I really try to keep feelings about actors and characters separate though it's hard sometimes (Tom Cruise is just creepy to me, no matter what movie I see him in). KC really thinks she's playing a groundbreaking character here, doesn't she? Please get a movie role, please get a movie role, please get a movie role and leave Arrow… Then again, her acting isn't the worst thing about Arrow right now, is it? 10 Link to comment
KirkB March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 (edited) I still think it was a misquote, but looking at the whole thing in context I have to retract the rest of my statement. I have no idea what KC was trying to say. You can't be the first, as of now. You are either the first at something or not, and she is certainly not the first female superhero on television. For that matter even only doesn't work with the as of now. Maybe, what she meant was the only female superhero right now, or for the time being, or something, but as you all have pointed out that isn't true either. So congratulations Katie, you have confounded me with words and that is not easy to do. Edited March 30, 2015 by KirkB 4 Link to comment
Sakura12 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 She's not even the first on her own show. Sara was first, she's getting handed Sara's leftovers. 4 Link to comment

statsgirl March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 There are some actors who look at the big pictures and how their character fits in. Caity Lotz asked for all the GA and BC comics when she got the role, EBR got a bookshelf just for the comics. (Other examples are Amanda Tapping on SG:1 and Jennifer Morrison on House who deconstructed all the jargon their characters had to say and ended up being the cast members everyone else asked about their lines.) Other actors only look at their characters and the scenes they're in. I think KC is one of those. She was talking about how wonderful it was to finally become the Black Canary and a kickass woman, she's the only one on Arrow or Flash right now (forgetting about Helena and Sara), and then remembered that Berlanti and Kreisberg are working on Supergirl and added the "as of now". 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 (edited) Caity didn't ask for the comics, she said DC sent her a bunch of BC comics then they invited her to their studio and gave her a bunch of DC swag. I think they were happy that a marital arts trained actress was bringing the martial arts trained Black Canary to life. I don't know if they invited KC now and she just doesn't go because it doesn't seem be her thing. I get actors not wanting to read the source material so they can make their own character without bias, but if they do that they can't be referencing the source material as way to explain what they are doing with the character like KC seems to do. I think that's what bothers me most about her interview answers. If she's not reading the comics, the comics should never be a part of her answers. Edited March 30, 2015 by Sakura12 1 Link to comment

Katie should go and sit in a corner for 30 minutes for not knowing what the word super means. I mean if she thinks her bumbling with a baton can in any way be misconstrued as 'super hero' shenanigans, then she needs to revaluate just about everything. On a side note, can someone please buy her a dictionary and highlight words & phrases like soul mate, epic, kick ass and of course, 'super' for her to know what they actually mean? 1 Link to comment
