    And there I was hoping for Thea, Merlyn and Quentin to be on it
    Guess the shippers won this one

    That's even more bland and generic than the poster released for season 02. I always hate how photoshopped those look, i mean, they have a really good looking cast and they deliver a poster that looks like the Kardashians Christimas card. Meh.

    Yea me too- where is Thea and why is Laurel there . i mean i know they try to put her everywhere especially this season - but to ditch his sister and put Laurel there :( .And they all look like a kid played with Photoshop!! - i really love the show but this is..... not cool.

    All the hype for nothing. It's even worse than season 2. CW usually has good posters.

    if you question Laurels presence (second credited cast member) I'm not sure why you don't question Felicity being next to Oliver

  9. Juliana Carvalho17 September 2014 at 18:06

    Laurel is a regular character and Sara is a guest, it makes a lot a sense for her not to be in the poster.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Juliana Carvalho17 September 2014 at 18:06

    As far as I know they didn't have a promotional photoshoot for season 3 yet and only were able to use pics from last season. Guess they didn't have a Merlyn one.

    ZZZZzzz go away.


    Laurel IS the female lead character. Laurel IS the ultimate Black Canary. Sara is not a 'real comic book' character. She was used to introduce the Black Canary arc in the show.

  15. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:12

    Yes because putting one of the main members of Team Arrow on a poster is bowing down to shippers.

    Yep, i see that. I'm just repeating what the person responsible for the poster tweeted last week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It is not the best one. Diggle should be next to Oliver, not Laurel. And I am not sure that the photos are new, except for Roy.

    Yeah Suzanne Gomez said all the photos are from season 2, but then there's ROy in his costume so that's confusing lol.

  24. Ore ban17 September 2014 at 18:18

    ok after some reflection. I don't hate it that much. It looks cool and the background is better than season 2's. The photo-shop just isn't that good. I wish Malcolm and Thea were on it but I guess they couldn't get a good picture of Malcolm.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sparky17 September 2014 at 18:18

    what about her face, they just put S1 image on her body.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Buzzy's17 September 2014 at 18:19

    Well, obviously they went for the fandom fight poster. See, Laurel is right where she belongs, she's the lead female of the show, Felicity in the other hand is not, she's credit after David Ramsey, Willa and Paul Blackthorne ;)

    But since CW LOOOOOOVES a good fandom fight, they've do this so people can fight for 3 weeks about some random poster just like they did last year with season 2.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Spindae217 September 2014 at 18:20

    But it's a nice shoot. She looks sassy ;-) the best headshot out of those 5. they did the same on a Reign poster a couple of weeks ago. The shopped one of Mary's faceon a different body, sloppy work. But this face looks decent.

  28. Patty17 September 2014 at 18:21

    And oh my god, Sara isn't there because Caity Lotz is just a guest star.

  29. Sparky17 September 2014 at 18:21

    But Laurel/KC doesnt look like that anymore. I mean she is blonder now. And on the poster she is back to brunette.

    ReplyDelete
  30. mac17 September 2014 at 18:21

    I'm not going to argue with you since we seem to ALWAYS be on different pages but what I learnt from designing posters for various theatre productions and some indie flicks is that a poster is ment to show off the main players according to the castlist.
    Look...I get that people love Roy and Felicity but they're not credited before Diggle, Laurel and Thea and do not have not the same episode count as Lance does.



    I see that you're a Felicity fan, I respect that but in my mind this poster is far from representative of the product and is more of something ment for fans to fight over Laurel-Felicity standing next to Oliver.


    I've had the same discussion last year when Laurel was shoved to the back and Olicity-fans and Laurel haters were making fronflips out of happiness.


    Lance has not been on a single poster yet.


    I disagree with this poster a lot, simply because it doesen't represent the shows cast in a fair way. Sorry Felicity/Olicity/Roy fans. But it should be Oliver, Laurel, Diggle, Thea, Lance, Felicity, Roy, Merlyn on that poster.


    No matter of your fan bias (I would love to see Merlyn in front but he has no place there) this poster is clearly to ignite more fan/shipper wars. Not to properly represent this show

    that's the usual procedure, rarely you get the fitting bodies and faces ^^


    Although I have to disagree with Felicity looking awful, usually her weird nose is throwing me off on that one she looks more than pretty

    they got a shot of the Arsenal costume, they could have easily put Barrowman in front of a grey screen, it's not that hard. Especially if it's photoshopped THAT heavily

  38. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:28

    See that's a fair point it should include all cast members, but I really doubt it was designed to start a shipping war. I'm going to make this clear, I like every Arrow character (well Laurel's okay like KC though and looking forward to her becoming Black Canary) I just recognize that Felicity and Roy are a little more involved in the overarching plot than say Lance or Laurel.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ore ban17 September 2014 at 18:28

    LOL yeah Oliver and Roy are not that thin. The photo-shop is horrendous.

  40. Spindae217 September 2014 at 18:29

    Sadly your right about the bodies and faces.

    I don't like how they put Fel! She looks uncomfortable and like she is faking it. And my bigger issue, why they remove her glasses for the photo shot. Fel without glasses isn't Fel.

    That's speculation at best.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ore ban17 September 2014 at 18:31

    Mmm I don't think so I think they just wanted to put team arrow then Laurel since she's helps team Arrow. Lance should be on it too but he wasn't on it last year so I expected that.

    ReplyDelete
  44. mac17 September 2014 at 18:31

    Roy? Maybe, he had his own plot
    Felicity? Barely, her personal journey hasn't even started yet. She was a plot device to help the others suceed at something. Was she more involved than Lance? Probably if you consider her typing sh*t into a computer and quirkily replying to Oliver.


    Lance had more personal arcs than Felicity (who didn't even have a single one yet). I'm sorry but Felicity has no place as the second shown character. That's up to the people we follow through their storylines.

    we don't follow Felicity, we follow Felicity follow Oliver (sadly, I want her to be her own character but she just isn't)


    Roy did have his own arc so I can't argue with his presence

    You clearly not familiar with the channel, Gossip Girl, 90210, TVD all ruined by fandom fights. I never thought Arrow would fall into this category until last summer when people over tumblr, facebook and twitter started to go crazy over Olicity/Lauriver

  49. mac17 September 2014 at 18:34

    she did a solid job on the Flash campaign but boy did she screw up the Arrow/SPN one then

    ReplyDelete
  50. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:34

    Again she's the Team Hacker and Roy is the back-up archer/ apprentice to Oliver. A little more involved in say battling Vertigo or Ra's Al Ghul than Lance or Laurel. I'm pretty sure I'm not being biased here.

    That's what I was thinking. But when it came out on Twitter, the headline was "Team #Arrow is back in action!" I don't consider Laurel in the team yet. That's weird for me. I hope she can show what she has! Action action!

    ReplyDelete
  56. accidentalhat17 September 2014 at 18:37

    People might talk a lot about Olicity on the internet, but Arrow isn't anything like GG, 90210, or TVD. Arrow spends only a few minutes per episode (if that) on relationships. If you were to ignore what people talked about online (like most casual viewers) you wouldn't even know that relationships are one of the most talked about parts of the show.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:37

    That's merely a jab and tease for shippers of Olicity not an war. A war would be if they said whose better for Oliver Felicity or Laurel, or Laurel vs. Felicity who do you prefer.

  60. mac17 September 2014 at 18:39

    not sure if you are, I'd say a main character is the person who we follow through their personal story arcs.


    We haven't followed Felicity, we have follwed Lance, Thea, Oliver, Roy, Laurel and others.
    she might be the team member but has not as far a level of significance the others have...

  61. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:40

  62. Buzzy's17 September 2014 at 18:41

    Unfortunately that is not how most of the younger audience sees the show. Arrow is becoming the Olicity show and some people don't accept seeing anything that is not related to that.

    The proof is on facebook, one Diggle still and people start sending OLICITY <3 in the comments (??????) unnecessary

  68. mac17 September 2014 at 18:45

    I have yet to see a Originals promo image focusing on #Klayley or #Haylijah


    and we can both agree that TO is more of a teen drama than Arrow is SUPPOSED to be.
    Look maybe the show is not a teen drama but they're marketing it as a action/teen drama hybrid.


    Putting out gallons of shipper teases, a poster having the main ship in the focus despite one part of the ship not being credited in the first 4 castmember places and every spoiler article mentioning that ship getting serious


    I really hate arguing about this with you, you seem like a nice guy and all but I'm afraid we look at this issue fundamentally different.


    I'm willing to accept that I'm heavily anti-any-ship biased but you keep neglecting anything ship related as 'nothing'. So I'd say...let's agree to disagree on this issue.


    To me this is ship pushing at its finest, it's like putting Elena in the middle with Stefan/Damon to her left/right. That's how this poster looks, Oliver in the middle, Felicity on the left and Laurel on the right. Classic ship baiting.
    To me


    To you it's....not that apparently

    ReplyDelete
  69. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:46

    Yes that's why she's getting her own stuff this year. Also she was a recurring character in season 1 (originally a one-off) and they had no plans for her until mid-season at most, unlike Roy who they planned from the beginning. Do I wish they gave her a storyline last year, yeah of course. Even then she's still more involved in the main plot than Lance or Laurel.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Sparky17 September 2014 at 18:46

    Dont know just bugs me. Since over the hiatus everybody was screaming KC is blonde that means she is Canary. And now they put a brunette KC on the poster.

    ReplyDelete
  71. accidentalhat17 September 2014 at 18:46

    Why does it matter what people talk about online in regards to Arrow? There's no way that Arrow could ever turn into a show only about romantic relationships, there's way too much other stuff going on.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:47

    Well no shit, as I pointed out it's subjective. It would be objective if they clearly pitted both shippers against one another, but they haven't at all so your claim is unfounded.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Buzzy's17 September 2014 at 18:47

    since the CW slogan is 'tv to talk about' I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if they are not the majority, like you said they are the most vocal part and tha's why they keep feeding it.

  74. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:49

    Of course that's what marketing is supposed to do, appeal to a demographic.

    I also expect this until they start promoting season 3 as a romance teen show with some action scenes. Did you see the last promo?

    ReplyDelete
  76. mac17 September 2014 at 18:51

    Erm...well now your bias is showing man...


    For f***s sake dude, again: a main character is a character WE FOLLOW, we follow that characters emotional journey.


    We followed Lance through his addiction, through his antagonistic relationship with the vigilante.
    We followed Laurel....know what...no.
    I'm sick of arguing. Really


    Love Felicity, agree with her being 'more important' than Lance and Laurel (who have both had more storylines and were in more episodes than Felicity I might add) but do it on your own.


    Felicity is a fun character but by far not more of a main character than Lance and Laurel who had both an emotional journey by far exceeding Felicitys plotlines.


    In some way you're actually degrading the writers work by claiming that well written emotional plots are less important than Felicity typing sh*t on a computer and making googly eyes around Oliver.


    Nope...

  77. Alex Forrest17 September 2014 at 18:51

    Damn, this is the definition of over-photoshopping something. Everyone looks like their heads were plastered onto their bodies, with Roy's body especially way too tiny for his head. Only thing I like is the background they're on.


    Also, second (or even third?) year in a row where Quentin gets shafted in the cast poster, and this year, Thea and Merlyn too. I don't get it.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Buzzy's17 September 2014 at 18:53

    Yes, and the demographic will ruin the show just like they did with TVD and Gossip Girl _o_

    A lot of the 'not vocal' part of the fandom is already annoyed, check the news, every news about Arrow involves Olicity or Felicity people are complaining on twitter and producers are ignoring and paying attention only to those who want to know about the romance, in a ACTION show.

    I'm still not sure Laurel will become BC, even though a lot of things indicate that like the hair, wildcat appearing, the jacket and the recent "Dinah Laurle Lance" script tease. I really hope she develops a DC identity on her own. Something empowered and even though it's Canary she should be different, I hope that the Huntress re-apppearing plan the creators had, will have a part in it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. mac17 September 2014 at 18:54

    I KNOW RIGHT?


    Quentin is left out, Merlyn is left out, Thea is left out.
    Diggle (third credited castmember) is pushed into the back, Felicity (fidth or sixth credited castmember) takes the front, Roy looks like a drawing made by a 3 year old

    ReplyDelete
  82. Alex Forrest17 September 2014 at 18:54

    Quentin was definitely not in last year's poster either, and I'm not sure if there was a Season 1 cast poster but if it's what the Arrow FB page used as a header, he wasn't there either. Stop shafting Papa Lance! :(

    ReplyDelete
  83. Graydon17 September 2014 at 18:54

    I'm not saying that at all. All I've said is that Felicity as a member of Team Arrow and hacker is more involved in the main story, which is true. That is a fact. Stop reading into things I say that aren't there.

    The poster is disappointing for a lot of reasons:

    Diggle has been moved to the back, what happened to the original team arrow?
    This makes me fear that Diggle will be put on the backburner yet again

    Felicity looks so un-felicity like and her outfit is terrible
    The positions are weird, they look too far apart
    Terrible lighting
    Laurel doesn't even look like Laurel

    I am properly, and thoroughly underwhelmed an possibly even disapppointed.



    NOBODY puts Diggle in a corner okay.

    What do you consider the main storyline?!


    What do you consider a significant part?!


    I'm starting to think that you consider other storylines like the League of Assassins, Saras arc, Theas parentage NOT to be major arcs.
    If that's the case...you are wrong dude.
    Just because that arc played out in the finale that doesen't make other storylines LESS significant.



    And why do I keep arguing with you over this?!

    Thank you. Laurel isn't even one of my favorite characters but all the hate towards her is starting to get even more annoying and ridiculous than last season. Get over it people they aren't going to kill her off.
    Thea is my favorite female character and get why she isn't there. She isn't on Team Arrow or even in Oliver's side so she doesn't belong in that poster.

  98. Graydon17 September 2014 at 19:03

    The main storyline is fighting Slade, or Ra's Al Ghul or Malcolm, or the Ray Palmer one. I consider those ones you're referring to as story lines but they're not the main one of the season. As the main one always focuses on the big bad Team Arrow is fighting.

    And I disagree with your final statement: Thea is part of the show, she has been more significant than others that are actually ON this poster.

    In order to represent this show properly they should show the entire cast in a fair way. But they didn't.

    Forcing a triangleship fight is all they're doing here


    Oliver, Laurel, Diggle, Thea, Lance, Felcity, Roy, Merlyn should all be on this poster as they're all main characters and are part of the show.
    In order to properly represent the show they should be partof that

  103. Alex Forrest17 September 2014 at 19:06

    Exactly. We're starting Season 3 and have never had Moira, Quentin or Merlyn on a poster - that's troubling. Dear CW, just because someone is over 35 (or - gasp - 40!) doesn't mean you need to ignore their existence... it's a good thing they still acknowledge Digg, kind of.

    Good, then tell me how Thea had less part to play in Slades storyline?

    - Wasn't she the one that was kidnapped by Slade and had the truth about her father be told?


    - Wasn't Officer Lance involved in the final fight against Slades army and had an issue with bringing the LoA into this?


    These two had a bigger emotional arc and even involvement than Felicity in this finale arc so....there goes your point
    I'd actually argue that even Merlyn (who wasn`t in most of the season) had a bigger storyline in that final Slade plot than Felicity did

    well it's not exactly what you said but it's kind of putting my perception of you neglecting the ship focus.


    Good, then let's forget the ship war aspect and focus on Felicitys place on that poster. Why is she second? Isn`t Diggle more of a main character as he's been there since episode 1? Same as Laurel? What is Felicity doing there with her lighter episode count? Where are characters that has SIGNIFICANT character arcs?

    As I said that was tied to it and affected by it, but it did not directly affect the battle against Slade nor did it involve her in the fight against him. For the last time I've never once said that others didn't have bigger or more emotional stories just that they were not involved in the main plot of taking down the villain as much as Felicity, Diggle or Oliver (and Roy in season 2). You could argue Lance though with the Markov device.

And Roy's photo looks like a drawing not a real person, and I feel like I've seen this photo of EBR before and she doesn't look like Felicity, and KC doesn't look at all like KC too much Photoshop, and where is the creativity in it? Since this season is about identity shouldn't that be featured in the poster somehow? like maybe they're walking in a puddle or something that reflects a different photo of them? Or maybe a Hong Kong background? ANYTHING RELATED TO THE STORY instead of looking like they're posing for a clothing store.

    Felicity seems to have a storyine this season, this is great and I`m looking forward to that but considering her more of a main than Lance, Diggle, Roy, Thea, Merlyn or Laurel irks me the wrong way.

    Grey's Anatomy's cast grows each season. People come and go. But they know to produce a poster which gives equal importance to every credited star. And they also show how to give each of their characters growth and dedicated story lines through out the season.

    Felicity is not representing anything, Diggle is not representing anything, Laurel is not representing anything. The only thing that is representing something are Oliver and Roy by their costumes. I really don't like Laurel, I think she can not do anything interesting, I never liked her from the first episode of the first season and I don't like her on any poster. (But that's my own opinion, I respect the rest) But this poster is not cool, it does not represent anything important. No fight, no war, no evil, nor even love. This only represents the people closest to Oliver. And I do not like that Diggle is so far from Oliver. Neither I like Felicity on one side of Oliver and Laurel in the other like a cat fight for him. Since we all know that the female lead of this show is Felicity Smoak, even when she's not a heroine. Like it or not. But this is my own opinion :)

    I loved the way she dressed in season 1. Yes it was 'quirky', she even wore a pearly king and queens cardigan once (I don't think Americans know what Pearly King and Queens are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearly_Kings_and_Queens) but since she has taken the persona of 'Executive PA' I have noticed that her dresses have become corporate-sl*t.

  165. marpar18 September 2014 at 02:21

    I just visited the FB page and if the situation there is an indication of the current situation in the "Arrow" fandom, I would say that the shipper wars are escalating. If you look at the comments lots of posters are really angry and upset, not because of Felicity and Laurel (who are both placed beside Ollie), but because Laurel has allegedly usurped Diggle's place, even though he is a member of the original team Arrow, and she is just an allegedly peripheral and useless character (I'm relaying their opinions here). Some people even question her right to be on the poster at all!


    If you don't believe me, I suggest you take a look yourself, and you'll see that debates are raging as some more balanced and mature posters try to point out that Laurel is a main character and a future member of the team and thus has a right to a central place on a promo poster, while the anti-fans are as usual claiming that everyone hates Laurel, that she is a useless character, that Lauriver must never happen etc.etc.

    Now, I know that many of the most angry posters are oliciters, because they always post on the FB page and I recognize their names and anti-arguments. So, I'm kind of wondering if the anger over Diggle's position might be just another shipper thing, in the sense that some of them don't want Laurel on the team or anywhere near Oliver, and therefore can't stand to see her beside Oliver. Otherwise I don't understand their wrath over Diggle's position on a poster, or their claims that the real team Arrow are only Diggle/Felicity/Oliver (there are even fanmade posters with the threesome posted in the threads). It's really weird, because I didn't even reflect on Diggle's placement when I saw the poster. Or maybe people are just very concerned about Diggle? I guess I just don't understand the fuzz, since the poster is no indication whatsoever concerning Diggle's storylines in season three.



    I guess what I want to say is that the sentiments and arguments in threads n the official FB page (which is the social media site that the CW people are most likely to monitor) are very different from the calm and measured discussions on this site. Therefore I'm wondering if "mac" doesn't have a point, in the sense that in the FB, twitter and tumblr social media fandoms it's really becoming a question of Laurel/Roy Harper versus Felicity/Olicity/the original team Arrow (F/D/O). It is pretty clear that the anger concerning Diggle's position is turning against Laurel's character and that it is prompted by a conviction that she doesn't belong to the team and that she will never become a credible team member. I'm not saying that this is how things are, but this whole situation reminds me a bit of the shipper wars that raged in the Smallville fandom, where they had similar controversies about the placement of the female characters on the promo posters.

  166. Nicolás Festa18 September 2014 at 02:37

    I would love for her to become a new version of Artemis... Idk, i think it would be more interesting if Thea remains an anti-hero, for some reason. It would create some good tension between her and Oliver.


    Maybe in Season 5? I would love for Thea's arc on Season 4 to be somehow like Oliver's Season 1 arc.(I picture this Season for her as turning from Villain to Vigilante... Then Season 4 to be from Vigilante to Hero) Then on Season 5, now a "hero", she could join Team Arrow as Speedy.

  167. Naomi18 September 2014 at 03:31

    Besides the fact that people need to stop the overkill on Photoshop, the only thing that really bugs me is that Laurel is in front of Diggle. If they are going to put Felicity on one side of Oliver, Diggle should be on the other for a proper representation of the original Team Arrow.


    But, alas, it is just a poster and nothing worth getting worked up over.

    He injected one guy and killed another with grenades. Thea hurt Oliver emotionally, which while very important for their relationship and her character didn't actually affect the storyline that much. Malcolm beat the crap out of one guy and took Thea away (again well that's whole as a arc for him and Thea and was affected by the story didn't actually in turn effect the finale story). Whereas Felicity was intricate to curing Slade and the Mirakuru army as well as taking them down, same with Diggle. Again as I've said Felicity has played a massive part in taking down each of the main villains.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Graydon18 September 2014 at 05:07

    Clearly. She may not get the amount of story lines (or really any unfortunately) but in regards to the main villain and plot she's up there with Diggle and Oliver as the most involved in taking them down. Whether you like her being such a high level main or not, she's one of the core trio of Arrow and has massively affected the plot in regards to taking down villains in a way only equaled or beaten by Diggle and Oliver.

    I just want to say that I get why they put Laurel on the poster, she's going to become THE Black Canary. However she's not there yet so she shouldn't be standing next to him just yet. If they want to do it next year when she is the Black Canary, then I could understand it better.
    There is one other thing that gets me about this poster, and that is the fact that the producers have said that they will in fact be focusing on the dynamic of the core three in relation to each other as well as Roy coming on board and Laurel knowing Oliver's secret. However they did not (that have heard) say that she is in fact part of Team Arrow. So, if that is the case why again is she by Oliver?
    And before you all start jumping down my throat; I get the B/G/B/G/B thing and that it's symmetrically appealing to the eye, I just don't agree with it as you can have asymmetrical pictures that are just as appealing to the eye.
    I also get that KC gets higher billing then EBR but I just thought it had to do with the fact that KC is a bit more well known then EBR (though I hadn't heard of ether before this show) as well as being cast first. They are both leading ladies in their own right. Laurel because she's going to become BC and Felicity because of her statues in the team ie one of the core 3.
    But when everything is said and done Laurel should not be standing next to Oliver as of now (maybe not ever), Diggle should.

    Diggle was created for the show, so they can pretty much do what ever with him without to much fan backlash. Laurel was/is the intended BC, they hinted at it when she kick the crap out of those guys in the bar, they just threw a curve into the story with introducing Sara. IMO They should have had the same Sara story line, just imaged her as a new hero then when she takes off, you have Laurel lead into the BC character.

    Thats like saying Chloe on Smallville was irrelevant or Castiel and Crowley on SPN are irrelevant. There's a lot more characters out there that either didn't have main story's till well into a series but where key parts on a show.
