Yeah, my main problem with CL’s acting is that sometimes she talks weirdly, I don’t always understand her well, but she is able to give her character layers while the other two can’t. 1 Link to comment

MARK HAMILL AS THE TRICKSTER 2. TOM FELTON AS DOCTOR ALCHEMY 1. HARTLEY SAWYER AS ELONGATED MAN Yeah, the author has to be talking more about the characters deviating from comics for some of these choices; they really need to reword their title to not make it about the actors being bad. Having Tom Felton so high on the list is an absolute crime, in my opinion. Also, Hartley Sawyer is actually a decent actor; he just has a very weak character. I also take offense to Arthur Darvill on this list; again, great actor, but a weaker character (in Rip's case, he bounces from shitty storyline to shitty storyline when they need a main character to really screw up). I'd only agree with Ciara Renee and Casper Crump from that list, in all honesty. Shitty characters and even if the actors are usually decent, they certainly weren't here. Robbie Amell is also on that list. And I barely remember Cynthia, Nick, and Adam in their roles. Edited March 4, 2018 by Lady Calypso 4 Link to comment
Primal Slayer March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 I think Juliana does a fine job for the most part. I think her only thing is being to passionate in scenes when she is being really angry. Caity has grown a lot, but of the arrow cast would probably still be least fave out of the bunch. But with Legends she does fine. I feel for Mehcad because they tried to do a total overhaul of the Jimmy character and it just didnt work and now they just seem totally clueless what to do with him. 1 Link to comment

By my count Olicity have had kisses in 6x03, 6x04, 6x06, 6x09 and 6x12. Thats just under half the episodes, so I don't think it's been that rare. If we went back and looked at how many episode in the first 14 episodes of season 4 I think it would probably be comparable. As for how many kisses there are on The Flash I can't comment. Id just tell your friend it's not about quantity but quality ;) I'd rather have a good kisses every other episode, then awkward, don't open your mouth, room for the Holy Spirit between you kisses every episode. 3 Link to comment

I don't know if there's a specific reason, but I'd say it might be because the relationships are a central theme of The Flash, and at least with the main couple, TPTB think it's important to show them as in love and stable. I don't watch Arrow, but I'd guess the writers there have different priorities. [ETA:] But I also agree with Primal that there are just more relationships to showcase.

Mellowyellow March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 (edited) @BunsenBurner I have watched all of both shows and I would say on the Flash no one seems to have jobs or are shown to be working much. They tend to be standing around a lot to discuss their woes but their woes are not as urgent so more time for kissing. On Arrow there is always a bloody crisis and they are all busy. So you have Lyla who is not there half the time (presumably working on Argus stuff), Oliver is always attending to some crisis, when he wasn't GA Felicity was running off to deal with a crisis, when they are together Olicity have to run off to deal with a crisis. Sadly no time for kissing! Or dessert! ETA: Even when they were having a nice family moment this week, Oliver had to pull Felicity aside and ask her to hack! Damn the Arrow villains!

lemotomato March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 I guess since Oliver and Felicity don't have to give each other pep talks once or twice every episode, they have fewer opportunities to exchange chaste little pecks. Besides, kisses on Arrow have always been about quality, not quantity. 12 Link to comment

WindofChange March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 Honestly? I'd much rather take what Olicity have been given this season than what Flash has given Westallen or what Supergirl has given Karamel. We had: 603: Oliver asking Felicity to help with William which led to Oliver giving Felicity the key to his apartment 604: An episode where Oliver/Felicity roles reversed and he was leading her in the field and she leaned on Oliver for support (also hot makeout sessions!) 608: Literally the entire crossover was centered around them 609: A beautiful reception with everyone's family members which also included cake, a first dance, and throwing the bouquet 611: Felicity/Oliver going through parenting together as a single unit I'd take these quality episodes over meager kisses any day considering those moments have more weight and meaning. 12 Link to comment
quarks March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 Yikes on that actor's list. There's nothing wrong with Hartley Sawyer's performance - I mean, yes, I hate the character and have said so repeatedly, and I think Ralph has been the hands down worst part of a season that included that awful trial. But that's entirely on the setup and the writing. Sawyer is fine. The same was true for Tom Felton - lots wrong with the character, nothing wrong with the acting. With Iris/Candice Patton, there's nothing wrong with the character or the acting other than Flash continuing to waste Candice Patton. 38 minutes ago, BunsenBurner said: I have have a friend who watched all seasons of Arrow and all seasons of The Flash. She wants to know why this season on The Flash someone is always giving a kiss to someone else yet we rarely see that on Arrow. I couldn’t answer that question so I’m asking this forum. I'd dispute the premise of the question, and note that it very much depends upon which seasons of Arrow and Flash we're talking about. Season one of Arrow had plenty of kissing ranging from brief pecks to full makeout sessions between multiple people: Moira/Walter, Oliver/Laurel, Oliver/Helena, Oliver/McKenna, Thea/whoever that was, Thea/Roy, Diggle/Carly, Laurel/Tommy, Cyrus Vanch/unnamed girlfriend, and various random extras/day players in the backgrounds of a few scenes. Season two did cut back on this - basically that was limited to Thea/Roy (and very limited there), Laurel and the assistant DA (which was more him trying to make a move which failed), Diggle/Lyla, Sara/Nyssa, Oliver lightly kissing Laurel on the forehead, Oliver/Shado, Oliver/Isabel and Oliver/Sara, as well as a cut scene between China White and a villain. But it was still around. Season three - when Flash showed up - featured far more kissing on Arrow than on Flash. That included Oliver/Felicity, Felicity/Ray, Felicity/her college ex boyfriend, Diggle/Lyla, Thea/Roy, Deadshot/his wife, Maseo/Tatsu (multiple episodes) and Thea/that horrible DJ (multiple times, unfortunately), and also fatherly pecks from Malcolm/Thea and Diggle/baby Sara. That same season, Flash did feature Caitlin/Ronnie, Iris/Eddie, Barry/Felicity, Barry/Linda, Barry/Iris and not-really-Barry/Caitlin, but even with all that and Oliver/Felicity not making out for several episodes, Flash had significantly fewer kisses/makeout sessions than Arrow - and in fact, the entire run of Flash so far has had fewer sex scenes than Arrow had in season three alone. Season four/season two continued this trend. Flash did have Barry/Patty, Barry/Iris, a sorta Barry/Caitlin kiss if you stretch the definition of that, something sorta not really going on with Cisco/Golden Glider, and Caitlin/Jay, but that was it. Meanwhile, Oliver/Felicity kissed in pretty much every episode up through 415, and Arrow also still had Diggle/Lyla, Thea/whatshisname, Quentin/Donna Smoak, and paternal/forehead kisses with Damien Darkh and his daughter, plus the Hawks, who had their first kiss on Arrow. It's only in season five/season three that things finally switched - largely because Oliver and Felicity stayed broken up for most of the season, Thea, for once, wasn't paired up with anyone for the entire season, Audrey Marie Anderson (Lyla) was busy with other work, Donna Smoak mostly vanished from the show, and no one in the flashbacks felt like kissing/making out, possibly because they were as irritated by the flashbacks as fans were. Meanwhile, Flash started pairing up several couples: Barry/Iris, Cisco/Gypsy, Wally/Jesse, Caitlin/Draco Malfoy, Joe/Cecile, and H.R./person whose name I can't remember. This season, things seem to be a bit more balanced. No, Arrow hasn't featured kisses/makeout sessions every episode, and mostly kept Oliver/Felicity physically apart for the first few episodes, but have had Oliver/Felicity make out or briefly kiss in most episodes since then. Arrow has also had kisses with Diggle/Lyla and Vigilante/Dinah. Meanwhile, over on Flash - yeah, Barry/Iris do tend to exchange quick pecks here and there, as do Cecile/Joe, and Flash almost but not quite got an actual sex scene with Gypsy/Cisco. But that's been it - especially since Wally/Jesse and Caitlin/Draco Malfoy broke up - and I'd actually argue that Flash has missed at least three moments where Barry/Iris should have shared a passionate kiss, but didn't. So even with Flash currently featuring four stable couples (Barry/Iris, Joe/Cecile, Gypsy/Cisco, and the Thinker/his wife) to Arrow's two (Oliver/Felicity and Diggle/Lyla) I don't think that we really see someone always kissing someone on Flash and rarely see this on Arrow. Last year, sure. But other years, not so much. 11 Link to comment

She's completely out of her element in an action hero role. Not because of a lack of range, but because of a very superficial understanding/idea of what an action heroine has to look and act like. Like so many actresses before her, she has fallen into this trap where she's acting all tough and intense in any given scene - to the point where it has robbed her performance of any nuance or subtlety. And amazingly enough, her acting seems to be getting worse the longer she plays this character. Like, her portrayal of anger/rage in 6x14 was so bad, it was comical. The sad thing is, I know she can do better because I've seen it. I've seen her play angry in a movie before and it was completely natural and at a normal intensity level. It's just this particular character archetype that has her hamming it up to a ridiculous degree. 15 Link to comment

I mean, yes, that's one thing that directors do, but television directors are also working with lighting, set direction, sound and camera operators. And Arrow only has eight days to shoot 52/54 minutes of film, typically including about 12 to 15 minutes of stunt sequences. My guess is that the directors don't have a lot of time. 3 Link to comment

tangerine95 March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 I don't think JH is the only one that falls into the idea that being BC and a badass action hero means acting angry and tough all the time,imo the EPs also have this vision for BC so they have no problem with the performance.I really think the only BC they put actual thought in and had a storyline clearly in mind for was Sara in season 2.I wasn't as big of a fan as some people but they tried with her.KC was a mess of lets throw everything on it because we have to and see if something sticks.And JH is just the 3rd try where they can't be bothered to the point that they're literally just repeating her exact storyline from 5.11 only dragged out over more episodes.I'm not surprised they didn't cast for more than looks believable in action scenes tbh. 8 Link to comment

Many people who saw Black Panther had no idea the character was based on a comic book, let alone that they had an option of purchasing a comic with the character in it.
