2) Green Arrow In Action
Since day one, diehard fans have longed for the moment when Oliver Queen would finally embrace his comic book origins and become the Green Arrow we know and love from the source material. For those unfamiliar with Amell’s almost unbearably likeable social media accounts, it was recently confirmed that the Emerald Archer will don his official moniker along with a more faithful suit in season four.
Unfortunately for fans of Oliver’s traditional look, the new threads will not be accompanied by Green Arrow’s signature goatee, simply because Stephen Amell would look dreadful with that particular choice of facial hair. Before the hate mail is sent in its droves, bear in mind that Amell himself is the one who made this decision, declaring on Twitter:
During S2 hiatus I grew a beard & fashioned a goatee while shaving it. Looked like someone with a record trying to blend into a new city.
It’s ok, Stephen. Make it up to the fans by convincing the producers to finally incorporate the archer’s trick arrows. The makeshift boxing glove arrow seen in season three hit all the right geek buttons, but we need more! Sure, the show is supposed to lean towards realism, but if Laurel Lance can become the Black Canary after two or three training montages, we’re sure that the occasional net or acid net arrow won’t destroy the audiences suspension of disbelief.
