After Infinite Earths Crisis, Green Arrow Oliver Quinn is killed in battle against the Anti-Watchers. It wasn't until the final episode of The Green Arrow season eight that the CW really gave Oliver Quinn a perfect ending.
From crime to hero
When Oliver Quinn returns to Star City from Purgatory Island, he is the cynical young master of the Quinn Group on the one hand, and the "vigilante" who wears a hood at night against the criminals of Star City. According to the list of criminals left by his father, he took down the evil forces of Star City one by one. In the darkness of the night, he picked up a bow and arrow and put on a hood to shuttle between buildings, showing no mercy to the bad guys. The early Green Arrow decided the life and death of others with what they saw as justice. When it was dark, Star City had a bunch of bad guys dead, and at dawn, Oliver Quinn had a few more lives on his hands. Every time, before executing the bad guys, he would say to them, "You failed the city." He didn't know it at the time, and someone would say the same thing to him later.
Prometheus, the strongest villain in season five of Green Arrow, appears, who has the same skills as Green Arrow and is trained in the League of Assassins. Prometheus's master can be counted as the master of the Green Arrow. Prometheus represents the dark side of Green Arrow, who understands human nature and wants to crush Green Arrow with his spirit, and wants to inspire the dark side of Green Arrow's heart. In confrontation, he can always be one step ahead of the Green Arrow team, making the squad mission blocked layer by layer. He constantly tortures Oliver Quinn to remember how cruel he once was, and that the so-called "vigilante" has no justice. After five years, Oliver Quinn is no longer the young and reckless "vigilante", he continues to move closer to justice, using the law to convict bad guys. Although Green Arrow was discredited and the star city people did not accept him, he defeated the dark side instead of becoming a murderous criminal.
It wasn't until Oliver Quinn incarnated as a ghost, fought his all-out battle against the anti-watchers, and saved the universe with his own sacrifice, that the people of Star City truly accepted him and considered him a hero. This moment came a little late, but it will come anyway.
From individuals to teams
Initially, his mother, in order to protect Oliver Quinn, who had just returned to Star City, invited John Digger to protect him. John Diggel couldn't get away from Oliver Quinn, so getting rid of the bodyguard before the mission became a tricky thing to do. John Diggel learned of Oliver Quinn's identity and chose to join him. Oliver, who is good at flirting with his sister, always "harasses" Felicity of the IT department of the Quinn Group because of unsolvable technical problems. Felicity and Oliver Quinn's ex-girlfriend Black Canary then joined the team.
In the fifth season, the Green Arrow team introduced characters such as Wild Dogs, Rag King, and Dina. Doing things by one person may seem simple, but as the team grows, management becomes complex and disagreements often arise. The wild dogs do not listen to commands when they move, and Evelyn Sharp betrays the team. The squad once faced excessive disintegration, and through continuous running-in, the team members let go of their obsessions, chose to trust each other, and finally became a cohesive team. Thanks to Oliver's team, he dies but the squad will continue to keep Star City safe. Now, his daughter Mia will also shoulder the responsibility of her father and become the second generation of Green Arrow.
From the Green Arrow universe
"Green Arrow" is the first superhero American drama launched by CW, DC's television drama division, and the first season was released in 2012. Since then, "Green Arrow" has opened the door to the Green Arrow universe. In the second season of Green Arrow, Felicity accidentally meets Barry Allen from Center City. "Green Arrow" knocked on the door of "The Flash", and the CW station immediately launched the "Flash" series. The "Flash" series is widely loved by fans, and also laid the groundwork for the debut of the "Supergirl" series. In addition, "Green Arrow" also introduced many characters such as White Canary, Constantine, Atom Man and so on, opening the "Legend of Tomorrow" series.
CW currently has episodes of Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Thunderbolt, Batwoman, Black Canary and Superman and Alice. The many characters and worldviews in these episodes converge into the Green Arrow Universe, which basically has a linkage event every year, and Green Arrow has never been absent, and saved the multiverse in the Infinite Earth Crisis linkage. Green Arrow is dead, but the Green Arrow universe still has a long way to go.
From youth to you to the present
I don't know when the fans began to chase the "Green Arrow" drama, I think most of the fans and Little D (the author of this article) spent a good youth time with the "Green Arrow" drama. The first season of "Green Arrow" has been eight years since now, and this way of chasing the drama, at the end of the drama, we are like the rotten Ke people who played against the immortals in the mountains, and suddenly found that it has been so long. When watching the last episode of "Green Arrow", "Eight years, crying", "the first season was watched in the dormitory, now holding the child to watch", "Youth is over" and some bullet screens made Little D burst into tears. Yeah, time flies so fast, it's really been eight years, who would have thought that we chased a drama and lost our youth?
Goodbye, Green Arrow! Goodbye, Oliver! Goodbye, Sugar Brother!
