Good afternoon to all of you who have stood by Vidar in these times of great trouble.
It has been a most epic battle that has finally been won – and now can Vidar return to what is enjoyed most in life – writing about television shows!
To take you back a few months, following the season finale of American Idol (big joke – Phillip Phillips my ass!), Vidar had to either get a job or commit suicide (a suicide does not result in a return trip to Asgard – so that would have been a stupid decision).
Today, after much bug eating and begging, Vidar has a job! In the hotel services industry.
In exchange for money, Vidar has agreed to take a basement room in the hotel (with free wi-fi and TV!) which include daily trips to the all-you-can-eat buffet!
Suck that, ex-wife she-bitch!
So – Arrow begins tomorrow night. Vidar is all over this ridiculous looking show about some sort of green guy with a bow and arrow.
See you tomorrow night!
Vidar – The Norse God of Silence, Stealth & Revenge
… so they want to make a make a show about a Comic Book Character but not make it “Comic-Book-ish …” by chopping the name in half. Stupid. Let’s thank god C. Nolan achieved this without the stupidity of thinking changing the name means that. If so it would have been called “-Man Begins” or how about “the Amazing – Man” … “Smallville” didn’t need to be called “ville” for the sake of being hipster cool or trendy and that show ran for what, a hundred seasons?? As a fan of the GREEN Arrow, the show title made me hate it immediately.
I don’t have a problem with the name of the show.
Smallville was a different kind of origin story, in part, because Clark was very young when the show started. Oliver Queen doesn’t appear to be a teen here. He’s a grown man.
Smallville’s title had two meanings. First, it was the town in which Clark Kent grew up. As the series progressed, it was the symbolism of Lois’s nickname for Clark Kent. She called him “Smallville.” First, as a putdown but as they became friends (and then later fell in love) it became a term of endearment. So the title made sense.
But I think calling the show “Arrow” is fine.
I agree with the chick. And really, who cares?
The pilot is great and is very comic book-y while being more in line with the Nolan ideal of grit.
There are half a dozen DC references in the first episode alone.
Just watch the show and judge the final product.
