tv echo January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) Interesting Nerdist interview with MG. I wasn't sure which thread to put it in because it's got comments that could go in the Mind Your Surroundings thread (re Atom spin-off), it's got comments that could go in the Relationships thread (re Ray & Felicity), and it's got comments that could go in the Behind the Scenes thread (Atom costume) - so I put it here... EXCLUSIVE: ARROW EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MARC GUGGENHEIM TALKS BRANDON ROUTH ATOM SPIN-OFF SHOW!BY JOSEPH MCCABE ON JANUARY 11, 2015http://www.nerdist.com/2015/01/exclusive-arrow-executive-producer-marc-guggenheim-talks-brandon-routh-atom-spin-off-show/ I wonder if MG was joking when he said they're already planning the Atom action figure.

apinknightmare January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 I'm really interested in this suit now - If they're not going full Iron Man, I wonder if he's just going to have, like...plates of armor with gadgetry on certain areas of his body so that it's more protection than a suit? Like something over his chest, some gadgety on his forearms and thighs and whatnot. Link to comment

A huge validation for the show's-verse. Bonus, it's Sara's Black Canary, not Laurel. LOL at the warning "Cartoon violence. 10+" 4 Link to comment
Sakura12 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 I might have to get that game, just so I can play the Arrow characters. The Lego games are usually fun and easy. I do love that Sara's Canary getting all these action figures and into the video games. Because for me, as of now she's the best live action version of the Black Canary. 2 Link to comment

calliope1975 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 They mention that SA voice's Lego Oliver but do the other actors voice their own characters? I haven't heard that EBR or DR did any voice over work so my guess is it's not them. I can't wait to play as Felicity. I'll be playing this tonight. I enjoyed Lego Batman 3 but not as much as I did Lego Marvel. The story wasn't as fun for me. I have found the DLC levels almost more fun that the in-game levels. Link to comment
calliope1975 January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 I just finished playing the Arrow DLC for Lego Batman 3. It took no time at all, but was a lot of fun. More fun than the game in general. The below video is a walkthrough; the dialogue throughout is pretty hilarious. It's just SA voice over-ing. I'm walking around outside the level as Felicity right now - she packs quite the punch. 11 Link to comment

tv echo January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 All Hail The CW: How the Youth-Geared Network Became One of the Best on TVBy Kayti Burt JAN 14, 2015http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/01/14/all-hail-the-cw-how-the-youth-geared-network-became-one-of-the-best-on-tv/ The CW manages to stay on television despite relatively low ratings because of its success in the coveted 18-49 demographic. And though the network has increased the number of men watching with the introduction of Arrow and The Flash, a majority of those viewers are still women. Perhaps this is why The CW is full of female characters and that shows with female leads don’t become That Show With the Female Lead. Link to comment
statsgirl January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 David Ramsey talks about why Diggle's race and maskless status matter to him. Not really spoilery. For one thing, according to Ramsey, “Heroes don’t need costumes!” That was a pretty legitimate thing for the actor to say, seeing as he was surrounded by roughly a dozen actors appearing in costume on both Arrow and The Flash.It was more than just a lack of a mask though. “Diggle is exceptional in his normalcy,” Ramsey pointed out. “He has no debate in his spirit between balancing that and his crime-fighting at night… That’s part of what makes him normal and makes him a leader.” 2 Link to comment

Sakura12 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 The game is fun. It's too bad the show can't have some of self aware humor that the game has. I loved Oliver saying something like "Continuity, shut up, sometimes I like to imagine myself back on the island wearing my Arrow costume" 2 Link to comment
Danny Franks January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 Aw, I love that Lego Oliver rides a two-stroke bike. And that Felicity is wearing the pink shirt she wore when they first met. Nice to see some people appreciate her original wardrobe. Still hate Nightwing's red costume. Boo. Bring back blue n' fingerstripes! 1 Link to comment

looptab January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 From Caity Lotz's panel: No. When I originally auditioned for the show, they didn’t say “you’re playing The Canary” or “you’re playing Sara Lance.” I auditioned for a character named Lisa, and they wrote fake sides so you had no idea what you were really doing. Didn't they do the fake sides thing for another character on the show, too? Or am I mixing it up with some other show? Link to comment
dtissagirl January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 Didn't they do the fake sides thing for another character on the show, too? Or am I mixing it up with some other show? I think they did it for several characters, including Nyssa, and I think Slade too? Sides are posted online to sites that agents, actors, and press people have access to, so I think they've been trying to mask the recognizable comic book names to avoid leaks. I think the only one who wasn't masked was Barry, because they made the Flash is appearing on Arrow announcement before they had someone, and then even leaked the 3 dudes on the running for the role and everything, because Hollywood is never not ridiculous. :) Also, that was a great interview with Caity Lotz. Whatever qualms I have with Sara and the writing for Sara, it really has nothing to do with CL. She's a class act. I wish The Mary sue would get to talk to more people from Arrow. 5 Link to comment

Sakura12 January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 I loved CL's slight dig the writers for the overkill with Sara's death. "I'm surprised they didn't have me get hit with a truck too" or something like that. I love that the actors no longer on the show take shots at the writers. Celina Jade tweeted about Shado's death being pointless now that Sara's dead. Manu and Caity talk about how they had background in mind for their characters and played it that way then the writers threw them a curve ball and they had to completely change everything to fit that, even though it made no sense. They all managed to say stuff without sounding mean or spiteful. Which is a talent and I wish them all well on future projects. 13 Link to comment
