Was STEPHEN AMELL Really Asked to Come Back to Arrow?!?

[@FinalConsensus]

Arrows problem was bringing too many characters in. Kinda like all the cw shows. My favorite seasons are 1-3 of arrow. The team was small but significant. Felt right

[@tauhid9983]

Well that's what you have with the batfam...it's huge. With arrow it made sense to having this arrow fam. However, on the flash and supergirl where litterally everyone is a superhero it just makes it all the more boring.

[@stryfe0]

And the writing

[@g0blinslayr299]

bruh season 1 was a masterpiece, best season not debatable at all tbh. Best fight choreography (fast action and no unnecessary front/back flips lol) and story with parkour included. Reason was because the team and main cast was small (mostly jus Oliver/Stephen) so it was all concentrated. The team got way to big as the seasons came by and and the fight scenes became shit/sloppy/slow (probably due to how many people they needed to choregraph). The story also got pretty bad, became a legit CW drama show lol Feels good to vent this out once in awhile lol

[@tauhid9983]

@@g0blinslayr299 It got less good for sure...but definitely not bad. What was bad was season 4. Season 5 was one of the best out of the bunch. If you'd hung around a while past season 4, u'd know. Season 6 was sloppy but later half was a better improvement. Season 7, prison arc was really good until the back half went sloppy again with the poor villain. And then season 8 was again one the best. Overall seasons weren't bad...cuz there were a lot of good moments, sure some were poor. But as a whole series the show was a satisfying journey of Oliver and the people around him.

[@andrewcozzini8259]

Ah, it's a tough one. Personally, as a day-one "Arrow" fan, I feel the most satisfying conclusion would have been at the end of Season 5, where the flashbacks meet up with the pilot. However, it seemed the success of the other Arrow-verse shows kept it going beyond it's time, even though there were still a lot of good moments. Had the season finale of 5 not ended on the cliffhanger it did (which didn't really end up being all that important, anyway), I think that would have been the perfect point to end it. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say I really missed it and if more "Arrow" was starting up again this fall, I'd be down!

[@sanjayrajpal2808]

Honestly bro I agree I think the first five seasons were absolute gold and I think the best way they could’ve ended arrow was at the end of season five when he made that phone call to his mom may be pushed towards a season six and close it out after the flashbacks but after that I don’t think it was necessary me personally I never ended up finishing the show ironically but those first five seasons of Arrow were just 👌🏾

Guggenheim ruined the show IMO - Kreisberg went to helm a shiny new show "The Flash" and did first 2 seasons there (also best for that show) so along comes Guggy and his championing of "Olicity" at Cons turning show into face palm drama at expense of characters. He stepped down after season 6 after being lambasted by shows main three stars, having turned entire fandom against the new Team Arrow (after a great season 5 for them) and on god his obsession with his Mary Sue creation Felicity... Fake weddings, felicity fighting flash villains with her mom, hacker battles vs dad, hacker battles vs ex boyfriend, magically inheriting Palmer Tech, Magically being made CEO, being a cringe blatant copy of Oracle in wheelchair, magically curing said paralysis almost overnight one day with her genuis, shaming Olly over protecting his son via secrecy, joining hacker organisation, bombing a town off the map at end of season 4 to zero consequence and seemingly zero emotional effect going on from it (magically being forgiven by its only survivor no less). He took over season 3 as show runner and made me HATE a character I liked. Only season he did that was good was 5 and the was after pulling back on Olicity obsession after viewership plummeted... Then went all in season 6 by making us hate New Team Arrow too by making them do dumb shit weekly in a piss poor civil war storyline no one wanted. Stephen was done by then, he requested in his own admission to be have season 7 his final one but was talked in an extra half season by new show runner Beth to give him proper storyline send off (was great final season and fitting end albeit apart from meh Arrow & Canaries backdoor pilot by our pal Guggenheim and of course the shit they pulled on the character in crisis again Guggenheim helmed that crossover... Killed him off TWICE in the one lol, yet Ray Choi was beating off the same monsters in finale that killed Olly with his BARE HANDS haha)

I think that a format of 8-10 episodes would fit well with Arrow. The 22 episodes per season , with all these villians of the week etc , always felt to me that the show was repeated over and over again and because they had to keep the plot going, they ended up stretching it so much to the point of making it boring. So, in that sense, i think a format of 8-10 episodes would be better , because it would make them focus on the main story , the villian and the characters more without having to rely on stupid plot points in order the strech the story for more episodes.

[@divineflu34567]

Actually this format would have worked on season 6 and 7 of arrow but longer episodes killed the best episodes of that season watched 6b and 7a in continuity again it turned out to be great

[@lisamueller7026]

Arrow's problem was and always was their inability to respect the source material. They had decades of source material and people who were watching because they were adapting a super hero from a comic book. Laurel should have been Black Canary from the START. Could have had a blurb underneath the Headline of Oliver Queen being back from the island scroll by stating "Black Canary Foils Another Plot" Which could have been tied into "The List" Both of them killing or bringing the List to "Justice" in one way shape or form stepping on each others toes would have been a brilliant way to have an arc last an entire season or two till them both being together and unmasking for the first time. Would have established Laurel as a bad ass from the beginning. Instead we got a weak ass version that the most loyal comic book reader could not recognize. Arrow pandered to a toxic fandom with Olicity and the quality of the show suffered because of it. When you put a person who mainly did shows like "Desperate Housewives" and Guggenfuck who destroys comic book characters on screen it was bound to be a disaster. They should have kept it simple street level vigilantism. Kept it real. He didn't need a "team" behind him. There were plenty of comics to be adapted. Didn't need to go the route that it did.

Stephen Amell seems like a genuine good dude, which is saying a lot in today's Hollywood. I've recently started re-watching Arrow for the first time. I'm only up to the first half of season 2, but already there have been so many things I had forgotten since first seeing it, and it's only occurring to me now that season 1 was nearly 10 years ago. I'm really enjoying it so far. I remember seasons 1 and 2 being my favorites. It started to waver in quality after they introduced Barry Allen, bringing in the less grounded, and in some cases radically UN-grounded elements of the comics. Also, expanding Team Arrow from 3 to 27 or 93 or however many it ended up being by the end hurt the quality. The crossovers were fun, but the show lost something when there were too many characters. Also, anyone who hasn't seen Code 8, check it out. It was pretty damn good.

If it goes back to the season 1 and 2 size cast (not necessarily all the same characters, you can mix up which main cast from which seasons you want to include, but Diggle is a must) then you've struck the right balance.

I really miss Stephen as Oliver, and Emily as Felicity. I really do hope they come back. They are my favorite couple,. I love them both very much.❤❤❤❤❤💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💋💋💋💋

He's definetly gotten better as an actor. I remember watching him on the first season of Arrow thinking he wasn't very good (it worked for the series but I didn't think much of him at the time), then I dropped the series around season 4 (I just got tired of it) and, at the time, I still didn't think much of him as an actor. But then I saw him last year in Code 8, that movie he did with his brother for Netflix, and I was pleasantly surprised by him. The movie isn't very good (it's not the worst shit ever either) but I honestly thought he was very good in it. I haven't watched the Wrestling show yet (I plan to watch it eventually but as far as I know it isn't in any platform in my country), but in the trailers it also looked like he was acting better.

Seasons 1and 2 were great. Honestly if they ended Arrow at the season 3 midseason finale I wouldn't have been upset.

Let's go WB, you got your DCEU Arrow right here. Amell deserves a shot with the big boys

[@johnkellogg4202]

He straight up needs his own stand alone film. I hate seeing all the great Actors portraying Superheros. And just fucking nailing it. Then you see their Replacements when going to the big wheel. Its pathetic. These actors brought the characters to Life. Give them their Due!

If Arrow comes back, so do I... Oliver Queen forever ✊🏹

[@cstrife420]

Seeing amell come back as oliver queen in a dark knight returns story as an older version would be amazing.

[@maxiumoverdrive1287]

seasons 1, 2, first half of 3, 5, the prison arc(only the stuff in the prison), and season 8 are was the show at it's best. The problems with the show was that it had too many characters, olicity being a thing, unnecessary forced drama, and keeping things too formulaic. I'd be down for a return a 10 episode return in 5 years on HBO MAX

[@Danthehorse]

When I look back on it now, season 1 was were it was at for me. Contained, gritty and dangerous, focused on his story. I hated where it went after that with awful Felicity character.

[@maxiumoverdrive1287]

@@Danthehorse Felicity was great when she was used properly but the writers became their own fans and catered to the terrible olicity fanbase. They gave that small fanbase the trash they wanted to see and said to hell with everyone else. Arrow never recovered from that and the ratings reflected that and the same can be said with the flash. Both those shows used to be legit popular and not just CW popular.

[@divineflu34567]

Well i disagree on olicity involvement in arrows downhill sure it had it's worst moments but it wasn't the thing that brought down a good show i mean sure blame season 4 but what about rest season 3,,6,7 wasn't great either and there wasn't olicity hijacking the plot line

[@lisamueller7026]

Arrow's problem was and always was their inability to respect the source material. They had decades of source material and people who were watching because they were adapting a super hero from a comic book. Laurel should have been Black Canary from the START. Could have had a blurb underneath the Headline of Oliver Queen being back from the island scroll by stating "Black Canary Foils Another Plot" Which could have been tied into "The List" Both of them killing or bringing the List to "Justice" in one way shape or form stepping on each others toes would have been a brilliant way to have an arc last an entire season or two till them both being together and unmasking for the first time. Would have established Laurel as a bad ass from the beginning. Instead we got a weak ass version that the most loyal comic book reader could not recognize. Arrow pandered to a toxic fandom with Olicity and the quality of the show suffered because of it. When you put a person who mainly did shows like "Desperate Housewives" and Guggenfuck who destroys comic book characters on screen it was bound to be a disaster. They should have kept it simple street level vigilantism. Kept it real. He didn't need a "team" behind him. There were plenty of comics to be adapted. Didn't need to go the route that it did.

[@palmeredwards7138]

Fan of arrow or not it is not the same without you, you take the heart out of the hero and put the heart of someone else in it it's a different hero

[@ericminerv]

am i the only one that always starts imagining cross over when i see lex from smallville talking to Oliver queen?

Please Netflix !! Bring back Arrow ,PLEASE , I’m intoxicated by this program !!! He’s great actor why not bring the ARROW ( Oliver Queen) BACK PKEASE , there’s other ISuper Hero’s still come back & keep playing their part! Arrow can come back a mini series!! I mean I’ve been watching the 8 seasons this my 3 x since it was announced & all to all my friends that I spoken about it they have has the same reaction. THEY LOVE HIS CHARACTER AS “ARROW” AMELL PLAYS HIS CHARACTER WITH SO MUCH CONVICTION ., I mean like any other SUPERHERO saying AS FLASH, or SUPERGIRL, Thor ETC !! JUST to make a point! Warner Brothers make it happen., NETFLIX OR HBO MAX THIS HAS BEEN A AMAZING SUPER HERO ( MAKE IT HAPPEN. BRING BACK OLIVER QUEEN , I mean I started 4 x again to watch, I mean he’s such a great actor that make not want to stop!! Please NEXTFLIX MAKE IT HAPPEN 🙏🏼🥰😘😘

[@rkmugen]

I really wished Arrow didn't end with Crisis. But.... maybe it didn't. Considering the crazy possibilities the whole rebooted Arrowverse might have, maybe there's a version of Ollie out there, lurking in the shadows......

[@elonmusk3048]

I think we should get a season 9 with 8-10 episodes that tales place sometime before he died. It'd be weird because there hasn't really been a time we haven't seen of his life but I think it'd be cool

[@SugarFreeTraveler]

Like every other actor who thought they were IT after doing 1 successful tv show he realized he will never be known for anything other than that show.

[@danbond2831]

When he went no kill the show was over. First 2-3 seasons were iconic.

[@angel91485]

he played 3 Iconic characters Green Arrow/Olver Queen and Casey Jones..he is right, he's not been gone too long to miss it and I guess so are the fans..maybe in 2 years, but I liked him in all 3 personas he played in.

[@royalrugby4869]

Oliver was great early on, best thing they could do for Arrow is drop all the baggage, do a tight eight-ten episode run, new location, new adventures, etc.

[@karensanchez3614]

I never get tired of watching it, come back Ollie

[@PontusOhlert]

well i would want them to bring arrow back as a supporting character in some of the other shows. Like i don't know, maybe Barry mess things up again and brings ollie back by mistake and get yelled xD

I would watch it. Loved the Arrow show.
