What Happened to the Arrowverse?

This video is all about the Arrowverse, mainly covering Smallville, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Superman & Lois. It was originally going to be about just Superman & Lois, but I realised I've never made a video about the Arrowverse which is crazy since I was such a big fan. So here we are. Let me know if I should do a part 2 to cover the other shows and crossovers.
This week, it's SXSW at Sydney and I've been fortunate to have been gifted a pass to attend. Now, I just want to say that this is my first time and it's just such a cool experience. So much value in the information being handed out, it's insane. It's also made me realise more and more how much I'd rather create for me rather than for others. There are days I can't attend because of other work and that drives me insane because I would SO MUCH RATHER be at SXSW. The energy alone feeds my soul. So yeah. Idk.
THIS VIDEO IS INTENDED FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES, SO RELAX.

The more random characters they added that become "superheros" the worse it became. The whole idea that he spent years stuck on an island, fighting for his live and to get back home. And then some random character with a can do attitude trains for a couple weeks and is part of the team? And the forced personal conflicts in the later seasons with those "superheros" was so bad. Arrow was best when the team was small

[@marcelinovazquez5128]

Arrowverse definitely deserves a lot more credit than it deserves. They were able to create a shared tv universe that was composed of multiple tv shows and probably most impressive they were able to take a bunch of B, C and D listers and turn them into houehold names and well known amongst comic book fans. I know has some CW cringe and that it focuses more on it's CW audience rather than it's comic book audience but even if you didn't like the delivery could just not acknowledge the achievement because that shouldn't diminished the success they were able to pull off

[@KidArkx]

Who did they turn into a household name..?

[@marcelinovazquez5128]

@KidArkx Green Arrow, Flash, Reverse Flash, Black Lightning, Vixen, Vibe, Prometheus, Black Canary are just a few characters that the CW was able to make household names. Yes people knew about Flash and Green Arrow beforehand but they didn't know them as characters. Previously The Flash was known as the guy who runs super fast and Green Arrow was the archer they were in a similar boat to Iron, Captain America and Thor where they were just the B listers until the MCU helped popularized them. Even characters who didn't have the same impact like Bloodwork, Reign, Steel, Atom, Mon-El, Wild Dog and Firestorm were used really well and effectively in their respective stories. And of course the CW created original characters who were able to become household names as well like Diggler, Dreamer and White Canary (I know there's a White Canary in the comics but at this point she's an original character). Some have even made their way in the main DC comics. So I hope that answers your question

Say what you will about the Arrowverse but in the beginning everyone brought thier all and still had amazing corssovers and osts and productions and the chemistry of the characters were unmatched basically anything with the flash was peak. The Arrow made me get into archery and probably had the best story and fight choreography for those first 3 seasons. I remember Flash vs Arrow was like a tv event that people would talk about for weeks having the dark tone of arrow clash with the bright hearted Scarlett Speedster both learning more on heroism and sacrifices. I believe Legends of tmrw was really solid all the way through. It gave me firefly vibes. Supergirl was a bit ambitious for sure but it still was agreat adaptation of the character and those supergirl flash crossovers were everything. Even tho the writing took a downward spiral especially for the flash my gawd those last few seasons only had a few good apples, the OG actors are what carried the show. To this day Ive always had a fun time watching Grant and Tom just be the highlight of this universe along with Stephen and Melissa. It really did feel like these comic characters came to life.

When they did Season 3 of Superman, the show runner said that Superman was separate from the other CW-verse / arrowverse shows. Thats why noone mentioned Kara in Season 4 when Superman was killed.

Still love it though. The Lucifer crossover moment was sick though

[@The_Phantasm]

What happened to the Arrowverse? It was created and did permanent lasting damage to the perception of Green Arrow by making him a Batman clone despite the character having evolved past that for decades and let's not talk about how they fumbled the iconic relationship between Green Arrow and Black Canary, then making Supergirl just a female Clark Kent and further damaging Wally West's reputation by giving his personality to Barry Allen. Then Superman and Lois came out and it was genuinely great and as far as I'm concerned nothing DC CW exists before Superman and Lois, other than Smallville.

[@internetgoat4831]

Dude I like your videos but I heavily disagree on the Green Arrow defense. --- Your Argument for CW Green Arrow having a different personality compared to his comic counterpart is kinda bad that I compare this argument to the fanboys defending Bayverse Optimus Prime turning into Violent Psychopath. --- Yes, Green Arrow's Origin was that he was Stranded on an Island and suffered surviving there both CW and comics. The reason Green Arrow had a very Hyper or Dynamic personality is because he is using that as a barrier to treat obstacles and difficulties in life in a more light-hearted way so that it doesn't let it bother him. The same way Optimus is worthy of the Matrix of Leadership is that despite being engrossed in this never ending war, Optimus never wavers or changes because his purpose is meant to represent how one should persevere and resist despite the turmoil they are in. --- Just because Green Arrow acts like wise-crack and like he doesn't acknowledge the seriousness or the dangers of his lifestyle it's because he does and he masks it with his identity the same way Batman does. --- I don't mind you liking this interpretation of Green Arrow but I disagree on your defense on justifying why him being stranded on an island should be a basis on why he definitely needs to be serious and gritty like the Batman. Edit: I'm probably taking this part of his video way too seriously but I can't help it since that argument reminded me of Bayverse fanboys too much.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Since DC Fans think CW’s Green Arrow acts more like Batman, I personally think the Bayverse Optimus Prime acts more like Nemesis Prime then Optimus. Heck, when Optimus got brainwashed and was turned into Nemesis in the last Bayformers movie, I didn’t really care because characterwise, it wouldn’t change considering his personality & actions.

[@aaronputhalath2778]

Also comics GA being created as a Batman ripoff doesn't really excuse show Arrow being one because it has like what 70 years of comics which developed him as a character beyond being just a Batman rip-off. I like this version but he's also not much of a great adaptation either Batman in his first couple comics is completely fine with killing people and using guns but if you featured that in a movie or show, people would rightfully be pissed at the mis-characterization because Batman isn't just defined by his first couple appearances. Multiple decades of comics developed his character beyond his initial appearance and it's part of the character. And I don't see why this should be any different. Honestly it's kinda worse for GA because this is kinda his one major adaptation. Like obviously he appears in some of the animated shows and Smallville, but when people think of GA this one is probably the only one coming to mind. Animation is unfortunately not seen by as many people as live action and Smallville is much older in comparison while this incarnation ended relatively recently. Batman in contrast has had many adaptations which means that some adaptations ignoring parts of his character can be half excused by "trying to be fresh" or "re-inventing the character" or something like that. Same for Black Canary and GA. If Arrow had had multiple iconic and famous (live-action) interpretations before then them doing Felicity instead of BC would've been a fine change IMO, because it's changing things up. Like it wouldn't be too bad if a new Batman adaptation had Bats end up with Talia or Vicky Vale instead of Catwoman.

One thing i love about your videos is that you look at both sides of the coin and just dont label it all bad or all good.

The hate for Arrow was only piggybacked by the flash tbh. By the time we hit season 5, the show fucking peaked. Stephen Amell was him, yet more people talked about the flash. Unlike arrow, the flash was trash-mid from the start, I find it mostly unwatchable. Take a look at the arrow subreddit now years after the show ended, the echo chamber is gone and real perspective is coming through. As someone who's watched every episode weekly as a teen and has now rewatched in my adult years, it holds up better than 90% of other superhero tv media. And, depending on the season, is comparable to daredevil (legit an all time favorite TV show). Respect for this vid for giving credit where it's due.

As someone who has watched the Arrowverse TV shows and specials, here is basically how the average Arrowverse show went: Season 1 - amazing Season 2 - great Season 3 - not so great (some really hate it) Season 4 - honestly, not that bad (some people beg to differ) Season 5 - I think we are losing the point here Season 6 - how did we get here?

[@AJ-xc4qe]

I wish they'd bring most of the DCTV shows back for one more multiverse crossover because 1. Sam Lane's season 2 finale speech on Superman and Lois was the worst moment of the entire show. The dialogue was forced and felt less like a Superman and Lois moment and more like a Warner Bros moment. Because they needed a way to confirm that the show was NEVER part of the Arrowverse. Even if you hate the Arrowverse, leading the fans on with Diggle cameos and mentioning Oliver and the Crisis for two straight seasons, even in that same episode, was a dick move that disrespects the fans' intelligence. Which is exactly what Warner Bros does, especially with DC fans. And even at the time, I knew the retcon was gonna be pointless. Which proved me right because after the following season, it was announced to be cancelled after the next season! 2. Some DCTV shows didn't get a proper finale including Legends of Tomorrow, the 3rd official Arrowverse show, getting cancelled on a fucking cliffhanger, just so they wouldn't have to pay for the sets anymore. And 3. the last-ever official Arrowverse season was a bad final season of a once good show that cares more about simping for a badly written side character and less about giving the characters an exciting, definitive and respectful ending. At least THIS episode and the following episode were actually good. The Arrowverse-scratch that-MOST DCTV shows in general deserved better. And I can't think of a better way to give them an epic ending than by making another multiverse crossover! So many of those shows took place in their own separate universes and probably could've expanded but didn't. Either because of depressing circumstances or because the creators just didn't want to. And then there are DCTV shows, especially during the Arrowverse run, that avoided the connectivity of other shows to earn their popularity instead of relying on another show to do that for them. And/or avoiding muddying up the timeline. And that's great. But deep down, some fans just want to see their favorites interact even if they're not in the same universe. And they want to see it happen before it ends...and then most of these shows get cancelled before their time. What's the point of standing out when the network still treats you like shit? The way I see it, every character from every live action DC property (movie, show, audio series, etc) teams up to save the multiverse...AGAIN! I never read the comics, but I know COIE had sequels. Stephen Amell can be a part of the crossover because, as explained in one of the two good episodes of Flash season 9, Oliver can only interfere or "come back to life" if the multiverse is in danger! And they can include everybody from Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, Reeves/Routh Superman (they're the same character and you can't convince me otherwise), David Mazouz's Batman from Gotham, Seg-El from the Krypton TV show who was supposed to show up for COIE but schedules got in the way. The Titans, Doom Patrol, Smallville Superman, Naomi because the actress wanted to crossover with the Flash and Superman. Jay Garrick because Eric Wallace being Eric Wallace, he didn't care to explain why Jay Garrick is on Earth Prime when Oliver made a rule as the Spectre that two doppelgangers can't coexist in the same universe (ie Beth from Batwoman). They could've just said Jay Garrick came from Earth 2 where Stargirl takes place but no! That's how he and the JSA from the show are part of the crossover. And I didn't watch Titans (or Doom Patrol or Gotham Knights or anything with Swamp Thing in the title) but I saw a clip that Beast Boy met Stargirl when he traveled the multiverse. That could work to bring the Titans in. And you what? As poorly received as Gotham Knights was, the actors deserve a piece of the pie. And then it ends with most of the shows retconned in the same universe: all of the Arrowverse, Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, Titans, Doom Patrol, Krypton, Swamp Thing 2019, Stargirl, Naomi, Lucifer, Powerless and Superman and Lois! I read a theory once that The Dark Knight Trilogy was in the Arrowverse the whole time as an explanation for why Batman left Gotham. Honestly, they might as well make that canon since we're never getting a real answer anyway. I'd love it if it was just its' own thing as an Elseworlds miniseries with better writing, VFX and what have you. In the future, they can always come back to this universe for whatever project the same way the DCAU returns once in a while!

I thought Gunn confirmed the guy in black was Ultraman, not Bizzaro

[@jointheMultiverse]

Bro what you talking about except for the relationship between prometheus and oliver S04 was really the final season of arrow for me, I couldn't handle that new team and mister terrific was horrible

[@dionysisnance4204]

[@Carmadillo-c6k]

[@andaelee]

[@Jstewart2007]

[@sahandehteshami7404]

Arrow was still peak arrowverse, much better than the flash in cumulative episodes

[@daksh0516]

[@Larendo]

[@randomgeekcrap]

I Love legends idc what anyone says

[@dominiqueodom3099]

I'll tell you what happened. It got the fate it deserved as a bargain bin Potrayal of the greatest heroes in Comic book history while being Hammstrung by Producers and Studio executives who wouldn't let the showrunners have access to characters like Batman or removed characters that were already in the series like Deathstroke and made sure to push obnoxious romances like Iris West and Felicity at the cost of great Characters like Black Canary

[@MasterofMonkeys16]

I have a little biased towards the flash so i like it a little more than everyone else. I thought the first 3 seasons were peak, 4 was less good but still great, 5 wasnt very good but still enjoyable. Season 6s first half I really enjoyed with Ramsey and crisis but after that the show sucked a lot imo. I did find and enjoyable episodes once an a while like the wells farewell one and the one where they go back in time to show his moms death though.

[@SilhouettedAnimator]

Very curious what Andy thinks of the Batwoman show

[@_fendiman97]

It all went downhill whenever had to get powers in the arrowverse or they become heroes.

Hey dude! I love yor videos and I’ve been watching for a while now, I’d like to make a couple critiques if you’d like :) Firstly, I think your outros are too full of advertising. Like, you’re just slamming everything in the end and it’s EVERYTHING. I think you can just write them on screen instead of saying them, it would make it feel less complicated and more pleasing on the ear, you know? Second, I think not talking about the flash, the most popular show in the arrowverse, in a video about CW was a VERY bad idea. It’s totally like Invincible splitting season 2 in half. Just give the people what they want, you know? Make the videos longer and more in depth if necessery, who cares?

[@eghoseisiramen1892]

9:18 the first couple seasons weren’t but after the crisis event. They’re on the same earth

[@DumbleGrum]

0:02 I stopped watching Superman & Lois after Season 1, i tried to get into it, but i just couldn't. Is that supposed to be Doomsday?

[@craiglangley8811]

Part 2 please

[@dws0828]

Why would you even keep watching these after the first couple of years lol

[@Muflnz_]

Great video

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

Well To Be Completely Honest I Watched Most of The Arrowverse (Except Batwoman) and some CW Shows namely IZombie, Riverdale, Roswell New Mexico and Kung Fu (2021) and I feel no shame really the Network Is severely despised compared to It's 2 Predecessors The WB and UPN It's Justified but I wasn't a huge fan Freeform (Formerly ABC Family) after Jetix moved to Toon Disney (Now Disney XD) and would've loved to see The Middleman or Melissa Joey back then but that was just me so do take It too hard but with CW they had reruns of Edgemont, How I Met Your Mother, Mike and Molly and one totally skipped out on Rules Of Engagement and When Arrow first aired I was hooked on this channel becoming a full time viewer since the days of Smallville on The WB and It was my TV Thing for most of the 2010's except 2013 when the most popular Network TV show then was Axe Cop on Animation Domination High Def on Fox underrated show check that out

[@ninjanibba4259]

Legends is the best of all of them

[@byrontawanda]

I am here

[@nickgoodlock263]

Arrow was really good. Flash was good. Legends of tomorrow had its moments but everything else was a miss in my eyes.

[@sacaladro]

it was cool while it lasted

[@tektyrant]

Wasn’t green arrow ALWAYS a Batman ripoff? Like, the green arrow comics were purely made to ride Batman’s hype.

[@Isaacisaperson4677]

He started as that but he became his own character
