Guest July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 If the 3.5 comics featured Oliver and Felicity as butt naked as Nyssa and Sara in 2.5, then count me in, take my money. Haha. I'm so weak. I'm really surprised the 2.5 comics are still going on though. At this rate they'll just have finished by the time s4 rolls around. Doesn't make any sense. Are they even doing 3.5? Link to comment

apinknightmare July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 It's cute that they're trying to retroactively make sense of Malcolm's motives other than "plot." 10 Link to comment
tarotx July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 Sara decided not to kill Malcolm A la Oliver and it leads to her death. I think that will come into play S4 and forward . I think Sara is going to be much more the killer again. Pretty much a do over so that she can be a good guy but antihero again for LOT. 1 Link to comment
Guest July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 Ugh. Trying to make sense of Malcolm's actions doesn't help the matter and just makes me more annoyed. Yet again it makes me hate the time jump between seasons. There's so much in the 2.5 comics that we should have seen on screen. I'd rather have seen all this. Link to comment

I don't like it either, but I'm guessing it's got something to do with Malcolm being in the League too? IIRC, he can beat Nyssa pretty handily too (and Oliver). 1 Link to comment
foreverevolving July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 I also hate that Malcolm beat her. She held her own with Oliver. I don't buy it. No offense but Malcolm has a couple of decades head start on Sara in terms of combat experience.... and Sara is a far superior martial artist than Oliver. so yes I can easily say Malcolm>Sara>Oliver 1 Link to comment
AyChihuahua July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 No offense but Malcolm has a couple of decades head start on Sara in terms of combat experience.... and Sara is a far superior martial artist than Oliver. so yes I can easily say Malcolm>Sara>Oliver It's not really that simple, because who can beat whom depends very much on plot needs. For example, Malcolm whaled on Oliver at least twice, but Oliver beat him in the end. He had to stick an arrow in himself to do it, but he did win. Malcolm beat Nyssa and Oliver beat Malcolm when he was pretending to be that dead monk. Nyssa grew up in the LOA, so she should be able to beat Sara, meaning that if Oliver can beat Nyssa logically he could beat Sara. Malcolm wanted Oliver to fight Ra's, so presumably he thought Oliver had some shot, but Malcolm knew he himself could not beat Ra's. Ra's whupped Oliver. Malcolm beat both Oliver and Thea with swords. But in the end, after maybe a week of non-brainwashing sword-fighting practice time with the LOA, Oliver suddenly could beat Ra's. So if Malcolm couldn't beat Ra's and Oliver can, then presumably Oliver could beat Malcolm. So there aren't really any hard and fast rules re who can beat whom. I would say maybe with swords, Malcolm's more likely to beat anyone except maybe Ra's (I'm assuming Ra's was having a really down combat day when Oliver beat him), but at hand to hand/archery, Oliver beats everyone. That's part of the reason it was so frustrating that Oliver fought Ra's totally on Ra's terms. Sure, dude, agree to climb a frigging mountain and then immediately engage with weapons with which you are largely unfamiliar. Genius. 2 Link to comment
Delphi July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 See, and I agree with you. But realistically Nyssa should be the strongest fighter. I honestly can't comprehend how Oliver bested her so quickly and easily in season three. Much like how I can't see Thea shooting Sara thrice in the chest. It seems like these characters abilities all depend on what they want to happen. That's not good storytelling. 2 Link to comment
wonderwall July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 (edited) Meh, it's like tennis, IMO. The number 1 seeded player doesn't always win. An unranked person can probably beat them but it depends on a lot of things. Whether the #1 seed is having an off day, whether the unseeded person is having a great day, etc. At least we've seen Oliver's skills grow the last 8 years because it makes in more believable that he could beat Malcolm or Nyssa or the show's version of Ra's (because lbr he was a wimp). Edited July 19, 2015 by wonderwall 2 Link to comment
AyChihuahua July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 I think Oliver's beaten Nyssa pretty consistently, going back to their first fight in Heir to the Demon. That makes me think he could beat Sara. But yeah, my point was that it basically depends on plot, bc let's be honest, Felicity gives great pep talks and all, but there was no reason Oliver should have beaten Ra's (who has been sword-fighting for 100+ years) after a pep talk and maybe a couple months total of practice. I kind of think fights involving Malcolm are the least consistent. I was okay with him beating Oliver twice in S1, and then Oliver making the big sacrifice play to beat him in the end. But in S3, whether various parties beat or were beaten by Malcolm depended entirely on PLOT. 1 Link to comment
Delphi July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 It wasn't that Oliver beat Nyssa that bothered me so much as how quickly it happened. She worked hard to take down Malcolm but Oliver took her so easily. That's where my doubt creeps in. Link to comment
tarotx July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 (edited) Nyssa has usually been an emotional mess when fighting Oliver. Sara was fighting to bring Malcolm in alive instead of to the death. Edited July 19, 2015 by tarotx Link to comment

That's where my doubt creeps in. It's just plot. Nyssa should realistically whup his butt, since she's been learning and training since prob before she could walk.

EmeraldArcher August 4, 2015 Share August 4, 2015 Was anyone else curious about how Oliver started S3 so upbeat and optimistic, given the events of the 2.5 comics? Specifically, Caleb Green burning down the Queen family home and Oliver's resultant self-incriminations for being selfish in wanting to win back QC? I just thought that the summer between S2 and S3 would be the Olicity Summer of Heart Eyes and Tender Touches, given how 3x01 opened. Link to comment

NumberCruncher August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 It's funny, I love "Arrow" the show (most of the time) but the more I hear about comic book Green Arrow, the more I wonder WTF the fascination is with him and why there are so many live-or-die-by-canon fans of the TV show. Comic book Oliver Queen sounds like a misogynist douchenozzle. Thank God the TV show is at least trying to avoid some of the same pitfalls but color me surprised there are so many real world comic defenders. Are his womanizing ways limited to a single iteration and I'm missing the greater picture? I don't get it. Any comic devotees willing to help me out here? 6 Link to comment
Delphi August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 (edited) Other people might be more helpful, as I tend to stick to the batfamily but as far as I know Ollie was pretty much always a womanizer. Hence the bad relationship with Dinah. Then he died. Then he was alive and he changed his ways and helped Dinah with her adopted/stolen kid and generally became like the every man superhero, helping the downtrodden working class. Generally a great guy, until he started killing guys, much like season one Oliver. But he wasn't so much a cheater anymore. Edited August 9, 2015 by Delphi Link to comment
NumberCruncher August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 Thanks, Delphi. So he basically replaced his man-whoring ways with killing? ;) I'm sure he has his good qualities but like you said: every superhero helps the helpless so I just wondered what would make OQ the hero of choice for so many. I had never heard of the character before Smallville but clearly something appealed to people since he's been around for 70+ years. Link to comment
Delphi August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 Wellll, I think he only killed the one guy or something. It's whatever that got totally earned his death. I think what comic fans really like about him is that he's Batman, but not. He's not as haunted as him,. I don't think he's rich anymore. He makes jokes. He's the normalBatman aND much more fallible. I think they find him relatable. 2 Link to comment
dtissagirl August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 Yeah, he killed a villain that committed genocide -- including killing Roy's daughter [and leaving Roy one-armed too]. Here's the details: http://greenarrow.wikia.com/wiki/Prometheus And Dinah didn't dump him because he killed Prometheus, it was because he didn't tell her anything about it. She took that as a sign of mistrust, and that Oliver wanted to be left alone -- so she left him. I think his cheating and womanizing ways got less prominent because while that was totally fine 3-4 decades ago, in the 2000s, it was just crass, considering he was dating Dinah. And they did plan the GA/BC wedding as a REALLY big event, so they had to straight him up beforehand. Link to comment
tv echo August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 (edited) Considering that Oliver is in civilian clothes and living a normal life during the 3.5 hiatus, I'm not sure what this comic would be about - unless it's just the crime-fighting adventures of Diggle, Laurel and Thea in SC... smoakandarrow asked:Marc, any idea when there will be official word on if there will be an Arrow 3.5 comic?

Morrigan2575 August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 Both Black Canary and Red Hood Arsenal dropped 33% from last month (understandable they were brand new titles) Green Arrow went from: March (last AJK issue) 19,792 June (first Ben issue) 29,545 July (2nd Ben issue) 24, 921 (about a 16% drop). Last new issue of Red Hood and The Outlaws (which featured, Red Hood, Red Arrow/Arsenal and Star Fire) sold 22,316. Basic rule of thumb is that titles below 20K per month are riped for the chopping block, barring external considerations. 1 Link to comment
