In this way, in the past few years, I have watched very few series. In recent years, the U.S. drama market has been booming and many people have watched it, but I still watch very few. The strong path dependence allows me to devote more time to the movie. However, as a media person, news about TV dramas will be paid attention to from time to time. Therefore, many topics are not completely unfamiliar.
In recent years, animations have been adapted into film and television actions. Under the competition between Marvel and DC, coupled with the participation of companies such as Hasbro, film and television related to superheroes has gradually become a trend. And the competition between Marvel and DC has become a big topic. In the movie market, Marvel finally turned its feng shui behind DC for many years, successfully launching a series of heroes step by step, and relying on "Avengers" to establish its status as a predator in one fell swoop. And DC has been supported by Batman alone for more than 10 years, and both "Superman Returns" and "Green Lantern" are unfortunately broken. Of course, the current "Superman: Man of Steel" finally took a breath. With Superman, there will be a small half of the sky.
However, compared to the big screen, on the small screen of the TV series, DC's "Superman" is not bad, winning some taste and recognition. And the emergence of "Arrow" turned out to have some sense of existence. Besides, the performance of "Arrow" is not bad. And I, precisely because I have seen too many "men" in the movie, I also have a good impression of the superheroes. So there was a motivation for chasing drama from the beginning. When the first season of "Arrow" reached the 8th episode, I watched it once, and then waited until the end of the first season before watching it again, and watched the remaining 5 episodes in one fell swoop.
The success of "Arrow" has largely continued DC's dark and realistic adaptation of its own characters. It is not completely idolized like the earlier "Superman", but like Nolan Pages. The successful Batman looked up. In this "Arrow", there are no superpowers, even if there is such a goodness in the comics, they are resolutely discarded. Instead, the characters and the story are closer to look as real as possible. As a billionaire, Oliver Quinn, because he was framed by others, lives on a small island called Purgatory in the South China Sea. The island is full of murderous opportunities. In order to survive, Quinn has developed his skills. When he was finally rescued, he returned. When he arrived in the United States, he decided to save the filthy city where his family was located. In order not to affect his family, he turned himself into another existence, wearing a green hood, painted oil paint on his face, and carrying a sharp arrow on his back to punish those who endangered the survival of the city. Because of his deeds and his outfit, he was later called the "green arrow", and the word "xia" was added by the good Chinese.
Realizing anime stories is actually not easy to realize. The typical thing is that on the streets of modern cities, there is a man like an ancient Robin Hood with a quiver who is robbing the rich and helping the poor. No matter how it looks, it won't appear real. Just like Batman no matter how real it is, there will be such a sci-fi meaning in it. In "Arrow", even the color of science fiction is abandoned, and everything that seems unreal is discarded, and it strives to be consistent with reality. Fortunately, even though it may seem weird at times, at least the screenwriters justify themselves.
Because of the powerful comics as a backing, the adaptation of "Arrow" adopts an episode and a story, and then uses progressive clues to collude the entire episode like a series, because it doesn't look tired. . Although an episode is only more than 50 minutes long, it is complete and tells a dark character, and Arrow's PK with it, and the steady progress of the whole plot, in the portrayal of the villain BOSS, it must be a little careless and unable to do it. Enough completion. Only the characters such as "Black Arrow" and Moira who penetrated down, their inner gloom and full character, seemed more than enough, and characters such as Yao Fei, Deathstroke, Luo Tong, Bai Ling, etc., although the charm is not small, but always It is fragmented and cannot be fulfilled. This is also very helpless. After all, the time for each episode is too limited, and no matter how clever screenwriters, they can't hold enough things. And in the movie, maybe within 50 minutes, hasn't completed the preparation for the role? But there is no need to be prepared here, and there is the final battle.
Under this circumstance, in fact, "Arrow" can't be more demanding, and it has done quite well. To be uncomfortable, there is nothing more that the advancement of the weekly episode is too slow to satisfy the expectations of moviegoers. As for the performance of the protagonist Stephen Amel, even though he is unsmiling in the play, and does not even use too many expressions, his sturdy body, agile skills, plus the beautiful faces of the supporting actors are enough to make up for it. The performance is insufficient. The fans of the show have followed the characters in the excavation, as well as the comic characters that have appeared in the show, and they are also very interested. In comparison, the Chinese character tattoo "Mouse Jiang Yao Zhu" on Green Arrow's body was discovered by Chinese audiences. It means "accurate archery". If you read it with your big tongue, it really has a little meaning. And the true meaning, even the starring Stephen Amel was sloppy, saying that maybe it will be revealed in the next season. It seems that we still have to wait.
