SmallScreenDiva July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I'm tired of getting pissed every time a new promo comes out. They're focusing on costumes (because if it were masks Captain Cold won't be there. Unless they're counting the goggles as masks) so fine, whatever. I'm a bit more outraged that the Arrow is behind The Flash. Fine, he's your golden boy, the one bringing in the ratings, but damnit, show the mothership some freakin' respect OK. At least give Arrow equal placement, instead of sticking him behind The Flash. Here's a slightly different version of the poster: Well now, I like that much better, LOL! Still a crappy Photoshop job, but hey, at least Arrow is front and center. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2872-social-media-and-behind-the-scenes-aka-everything-else-not-news-and-media/page/167/#findComment-1306569

Starfish35 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Ok, I know a lot of people here have been on the Hate the Fight Club promo train for a long time, but I think this is the first time I've seriously decided to buy a ticket. That's not saying I liked it before - I thought it was stupid and ugly. But now that they're continuing to use it as a major part of their marketing past that particular lapse in judgement around the TCAs? I'm seriously getting annoyed. Not only does it exclude every major character on Arrow other than Oliver and Laurel (ugh), it excludes every single character on Flash other than Barry. And why are characters like Captain Cold being pushed to the front while Sara and Kendra are an afterthought in the background?

It's better than last year, but that's not saying much. Why don't they ever put her in one of the outfits she wears on the show? I don't get it.

BkWurm1 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 (edited) As concepts go, if we have to have one that doesn't have Diggle and Felicity flanking him, I understand putting the costumes as one part of Oliver and the real people as the other part but Malcolm is a grade A bad dude and Quentin currently hates him. In an ideal poster I would have Oliver or the Arrow, don't care which front and center then Diggle and Felicity flanking him followed by Thea behind Felicity and Laurel behind Diggle and then their respective fathers behind them. Or just drop the V formation and go back to what they did in the season two poster with related groups of characters kind of together. I really wouldn't be surprised if this is it for the Season 4 promo poster at least until after a new costume is revealed. Felicity's outfit is weird It is sooo weird.
