For the record, Boyega rocked a beard for “Red, White and Blue” when he played Leroy Logan. And he looked good. But, I think there is value in having Oliver Queen be played by a white actor. The whole “Being a part of and benefiting from a broken system” thing that is vital for his character works best with someone who looks like someone who is benefiting from that system.

James Gunn has stated that he's a big Green Arrow fan, even going as Green Arrow once for Halloween when he was a kid. I have faith that James Gunn will bring Green Arrow into the new DCU (perhaps later in Chapter 1 or the beginning of Chapter 2). I also hope that we get Black Canary given some respect and justice even though I really liked Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary in Birds of Prey and hope we see her reprise her character in the DCU, and if not then I'm sure there are other good choices for Dinah in the DCU

[@andrizzle5887]

Honestly how comic book movies are now.. I’m sure he’ll be a side character in a DCU film so we know he exist. Similar to how they added all the characters in Black Adam. I hope they do this in all the new films. The DCEU failed at it with Themyscira, they could’ve added a few female heroes that were familiar. Just like how Man of steel should’ve had supergirl and Martian Manhunter somewhere in that film. But after seeing JL Synder Cut & the trailers for The Flash.. I have hope that Warner Bro’s will continue to have a few hero’s and possibly villains per film.

[@The.Usurper]

Well he's only released half of the first chapter so my guess is that he'll show up at some point in the second half

I actually really liked Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary and its a shame we didn't see more of her, and that her Black Canary show might not happen.

[@maazabbasi9174]

I'd love a prewrite of this movie, just like he did with The Flash.

[@moosevelt9148]

I feel like something that would work is to have Green Arrow be established, not starting out, and just have him be an urban Robin Hood, fighting crimes against the poor by the powerful. Also, rather than having Canary fulfill the obligatory romantic love interest by the end, why not have their relationship be tested? A major part of their relationship has been Oliver's stubborness playing off Dinah's pointedness, and seeing that instead of the more typical "two protagonist heroes fall in love," I think, would be more interesting. The 9th circle would be an excellent choice for the antagonists. Or, maybe drug trafficking by pharma corps would work too, referencing the "Speedy is a junkie" story. Great vid!

[@SanSan-jp1fr]

I'd also like to see Oliver's friendship with Hal on screen as well because we've never seen that dynamic before in any form of media other than comics (not counting the shitty tomorrow verse movie)

[@thegreatpxmlord8342]

[@magicalgirllaurie]

Something I’d like to see in a Green Arrow movie, or at least the first one, would be him losing his wealth. Him ultimately losing his money was what originally pushed him into the socially conscious, aggressively left-wing hero we know him as, and Hard Travelling Heroes expands on that. So I’d like to see that on screen and for them to show how that pushes Oliver further down the “look out for the little guy” mentality

[@alexandrefrauches132]

That would be awesome specially if the ehe villain of the film end up being Count Vertigo, since he is also rich and part royalty and his conflict with Green Arrow could bring Oliver story full circle: He started as arrogant spoil billionaire, he ended as heroic figure protecting the people he once ignored, from corrupt wealthy criminals.

[@nairrdlairrd]

I never knew much about Green Arrow, but once I researched him, I saw the Iron Man comparisons and realized that he could be the next grounded, human superhero story.

[@ulisesmartinezsalinas860]

For me, the best way to introduce Green Arrow in the DC Universe franchise in the first chapter is by developing a Green Arrow live-action film based on the "Longbow Hunters" storyline from the late 1980s, alongside other characters who can appear in the film like Black Canary (Dinah Lance), Roy Harper, Wildcat (Ted Grant) and Shado.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

I've said it before, but I really hope the new DCU goes about structuring their universe with a pre-established structure. Obviously there's things like Star Wars or Harry Potter that've done that, but something like the latest John Wick was a great example of how you can introduce new characters who are treated as though they've always been around and have long histories with other characters. Heck a big part of conversation following that film's release was regarding how many spinoffs they could do about the characters introduced in that film alone because of how interesting they were. I really hope we get that with this new DCU, you could have a movie about one hero that maybe features one or two others in supporting roles. I think that in skipping their origins and having them in supporting roles it allows those characters to be more defined and lived-in, a show don't tell situation regarding their beliefs and heroism since they'll have less screen time to sell it. I really feel like Green Arrow fits that role well, I mean that's basically how he was handled in JLU, I'd love to see him play off another hero first before getting his own film. I also just think that's a smart decision for DC right now, win people over with likeable characters and create demand for them to get their own films or other projects, because let's face it there's plenty of great DC characters who are unknown to general audiences. On the one hand it would allow certain characters a greater spotlight, but even if they don't get a spinoff their mere existence in a supporting role would do a lot to build out that sense of a wider universe.

[@StealthGamer37]

7:30 I don’t know if John Boyega would be a good fit. Before I say this, I want to be clear that I don’t really care race swapped casting in general. However, you yourself explained how Green Arrow is about Oliver learning that he benefitted from the system that hurts so many people and turning it around. I just feel like that story would fall a little flat if it wasn’t played by a white guy. Sure, money and power often lessen the troubles people experience based on their race; to quite a high degree I might add. However, the oppressive nature of the system js still present no matter how influential they are. So, having a black man play Oliver means that he would already know about the system and what it does, he and his people are effected by it, despite his wealth and power. A rich, cis, straight passing, white man doesn’t get fucked by society, hence why Oliver has to learn not only why the system sucks, but that it does in the first place.

If you like mike Grell's work on long bow hunters, I would suggest getting the green arrow, long bow hunters saga omnibus vol.1 and vol. 2. Mike wrote 80 issues after the miniseries and it's all collected in those two. They are expensive books, but they are hard covers and in the oversized format and the best way to find all of his work on green arrow

I like the inclusion of an actor who can portray the character both on, and off screen. Like when Andrew Garfield went around New York in his Spider-man costume to play basketball with some kids.

Casting for Green Arrow is so tricky. My ideal actor would be Dev Patel, but I can’t help but think about how much of Ollie’s whiteness informs his disconnect from his wealth and privilege before he makes that change. Curious what you think!

[@troyoboyo17]

I see that argument a lot and I get that perspective, I just don't think I've ever read a story where Ollie's whiteness is specifically focused on as a source of his privilege. It of course is, and if a movie were to tell that story I would be really interested in it and be all in, but I think that the class privilege is told about more. And there could be something interesting where the Queens think that they're above the flaws in the system from their wealth, but still become victims to it, and that could sort of kickstart Ollie's journey more. Again, I totally get the argument (more than any other character tbh) but imo it's not the most 100% necessary thing on the planet and would rather they find someone who could rock the post-change Ollie mindset. Whether that's Boyega or someone else, it's all cool with me as long as it's not Charlie fucking Hunnam lol

Green Arrow like Batman having no powers my favorite line from any version of Oliver is in justice league unlimited when he says “ Batman told me to make sure you guys stay in line” or something regarding those lines when Superman wants to attack Cadmus for having a weapon to stop the league, with both of them not having any powers he and Bruce are MORE able to connect with the people of earth and be see how some people see them as a “threat” so having Green Arrow in the type of role to also keep the league in check is how Oliver should always be

I think they can lean into the "Green Arrow is Batman with a bow and arrow" bit by having that be his in universe public image and he does what he can to disprove it. He can do things the media calls the dreaded w word (like marching with protesters, punching bad cops, going vegetarian, making his company diverse, etc.) while re-affirming said acusations by having his own batcave, Robin, gadgets, and grovely voice to scare criminals. If Skyrim jokes are still funny when they get around to making a Green Arrow movie, having a scene where he shoots someone in the knee could be a bonus.

Green arrow isnt an "anti-right" superhero. Hes against corruption and abuse, which happens equally on both side

[@toonblade4231]

Found vid, watched some of your other videos, now liked, subbed, and ready for that Green Arrow script. You're doing damn good videos, keep it up!

[@kohlslaw9087]

I am FEINING for any GA appreciation on KZbin, please keep it up with Ollie

Plastic man, he's not ADC creation, but he's an interesting character. A petty crook accidentally given superpowers. And I think it'd be cool to use that in a movie like we have plastic man. Becoming plastic man like he's not a big hero but. He has to learn not to be Eric O'Neill, but to be plastic man. That'd be an interesting movie and plus a plastic man so there's so many possibilities

id like a green arrow prewrite

[@hamdhanfiyaz4918]

I really believe that Green Arrow is in Gunn's unrevealed part Gods and Monsters. I really love the first 2 seasons of the CW show. He is my friend's the most favorite super hero.

[@SmashBroD]

Maybe I'm jumping the Gunn here, but now that we need to put a hold on videos about the already-announced stuff, it seems like now might be a really great time for a Green Arrow Pre-Write vid! Full confession: I will admit to enjoying what I saw of the CW show for what it was, (Felicity Smoak was hilarious and adorable, fight me) and more importantly, I also respect it for the other shows it convinced the network to take a chance on. I've only seen the majority of both Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, but I did really love how goofy they were willing to go, and even disregarding narrative setups, had it not been for the success of Arrow, there is no guarantee that we would have gotten some of the more effect heavy shows. Like, try to convince me with a straight face that in 2011, a network would have commited to a non-MCU superhero show about a speedster, which would ultimately have *multiple episodes centered around a highly intelligent talking gorilla from the comics*. Like, say what you will about the Arrowverse, but committing to Gorilla Grodd takes balls. That being said, turning the conversation back towards the future, I wholeheartedly agree with you about wanted to pick an actor whose views align with Oliver - but, while normally I am 100% behind picking actors that will make all the dumb racist jabronis spontaneously combust in indignation, as others have also said, I do feel there is value in having Oliver be played by a white dude - similar to having a blond-hair, blue-eyed Captain America spit in the face of the Nazi ideals that, visually, the character otherwise embodies. (Or, to a less direct extent, even Daniel Craig with his big tirade in Knives Out) Absolutely LOVE all of this. (Though I do feel like the rom-com bit might be a touch too far.)

Troy making the best points as always

[@Candyrella99]

I need Charlie hunnam as Oliver queen, AND yes I want your prewrite version of the script.

[@stevemartin3706]

I agree. They definitely need to do a GREEN ARROW movie. Because he is basically part BATMAN part JOHN WICK type of character. Only instead of using GUNS he uses Military sophisticated ARROWS.

[@thelonewanderer1114]

I love John Boyega. Can we please cast somebody who actually looks like the damn character?

[@noahd5545]

i love the john boyega fan casting

[@DeltaGaiya]

I’d be down for a pre write I loved your Spider-Man trilogy

[@TChallaWayne]

Yeah even tho he's closer to batman than iron man as a hero, I have said that he is also a lot more like Tony Stark too, good comparison.

[@fakehappyfilms]

Troy! Where did all of your videos go?? I was about to go back to some older content (your How to Fix Arrow video specifically) and they aren’t there! Those were such good videos and those are the videos that made me a fanboy of this channel. Hoping to see them up again soon! 🤘🖤

[@troyoboyo17]

I was thinking about it and I decided that it would be better for my chances in the algorithm to only keep videos that A) are super recent or B) I'm super super proud of, so a lot of those older smaller videos I'm not as happy with anymore so I unlisted them. And the Arrow video specifically I feel like I was kind of mean spirited about everything and I don't really love that, especially since the show has been over at this point, so I unlisted that as well. But everything is still available in the playlists on my channel page, so you should still be able to find it.

[@fakehappyfilms]

@@troyoboyo17 Thanks for the response man. I really appreciate that. You’re a huge inspiration of mine and got me into content creation myself. My channel is doing really well and I can see it getting big! Thanks Mr. Boyo17 🙏
