    ReplyDelete
  3. This is the coolest promo ever made!!!!
    I could watch for 5 hours!

    ReplyDelete
  4. that was awesome... best promo so far

    ReplyDelete
  5. Cool promo. I wish we'd get some promos like this that included the non-mask wearing heroes as well, but I know that's probably never going to happen.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I agree this was pretty awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  7. That was the best thing ever, made the end of my work day even better.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I don't know who half of those people are since I haven't watched a single episode yet but I gotta ask who's the one in the end with the epic entrance.

    ReplyDelete
  9. In what AU does LL beat Malcom?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I just experienced a nerdgasm after watching this promo. So freaking cool! Can we just have superhero fight club in the summer when The Flash and Arrow are on hiatus, CW? That would be awesome please and thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Wooowww!!! AWESOME!!! Padrisimo promo, para nada lo esperaba y creo eso es lo mejor, cuando recibes estos regalos sin esperarlos, Gracias CW!! (Retiro lo dicho en la mañana jajajaja)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Holly molly ! Flipping out right here right now!
    Amazibg interesting idea and neat execution. Shame the verses didn't crossover a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  13. AHHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH. Could I be any more of a fanboy right now? I LOVE this! Thank you CW! I love these shows, jeez!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ahah I had that nerdgasm right with you! My god, I love this so much!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't think this is supposed to have any meaning like that.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Actually it does since this is form the TCA mess.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It's just a funny thing... Only Oliver can beat Malcolm xD


    It's just a promo...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Okay, Ray at the end JAJAJAJAJAJA What an awesome promo!!!


    This goes to show what an aweosme roster this universe has! :D

    ReplyDelete
  19. I am sure it is just a promotional fun video without any bearing content wise.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Jhfswuknczjhdjgsjjvsgjnzfjbv

    ReplyDelete
  21. better question is why is Malcolm there to begin with? he said "the team" are they really going to redeem Malcolm?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I just had enough of the photoshoots of the suits on Arrow/Flash. Other deserve some photoshoot also. I mean what about Thea isnt she getting a costume? Just lame.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I couldn't care less right now, I am too excited still fanboying over this. I am very thankful the CW took the time to put this up.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I am not. This is just another not well thought off crap for me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love it. It's a fun promo!

    ReplyDelete
  26. That awkward moment when we can't even contain our excitement ahah

    ReplyDelete
  27. The shows are based on comics, so I don't think it's a bad thing that they went for the playful side and blow it a bit out of proportion.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It looks fun until you realise that none of the team members that actually help make these heroes effective like Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, Felicity and Diggle are present. Guess only masks matter.

    ReplyDelete
  29. They could've put in the non-mask wearing heroes on the sidelines, since they were going for a Fight Club theme. Have some of them keeping score, generally cheering on the masked people they work with, giving them water, something.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Right? That awkward moment when you can't form words because your brain is screaming lol

    ReplyDelete
  31. Like it or not Laurel embrassed her comic alter ego and is on the streets fight for her cause.
    What TCA press thing? Mean the special panel?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Exactly, Diggle and Felicity deserve the hero title more than Ray and Laurel but it doesn't seem to matter to tptb because no masks/costumes.

    ReplyDelete
  33. C'mon, there is no winning with you guys. The CW went through the trouble of making a freaking 3 minute special like this and people are still complaining! Had they done what you are suggesting, someone would be here saying that it downgraded Felicity and the others to be on the sidelines and that made them look inferior to the other heroes. I can guarantee it would happen...

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am not questioning why LL is there i am questioning why Diggle isnt?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ok after calming down, few comments.

    "And I thought you had anger management issues" lol FIRESTORM!!!!
    "Just remember without ys you guys would be out of business" I'm gonna miss you CC.
    I'm glad Oliver defeated Ra's eventually lol also nice moves, Oliver.

    That promo was EPIC!! Can we get a web series of them just having fun and training and fighting together?

    Did they really have to start with PT logo. Ugh
    Laurel defeated Malcolm? Really? Sure why not!

    If no one is going to say it then I'm going to: the promo was Amellzing hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  36. Cause of marketing. The Black Canary is a big comic book name John Diggle sadly isn't. Even though his character contributed more to the show.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Beautiful week you guys. My exams for uni are done. The weather's nice, Daredevil was fucking awesome. Arrow and the Flash are back, Game of Thrones premiered (and I got to see the first four episodes- sorry HBO for whatever douche that did that) and this beautiful promo was released.

    ReplyDelete
  38. People have been dissatisfied with the focus on the masks all season, and they're just perpetuating it now with a promo like this. I didn't say the promo wasn't cool (I did, in fact, say that it was in my first comment), it would just be nice to see the people who don't wear masks and yet do some pretty fucking heroic shit be at least included in the promos for their own shows.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Except and this is big. They're not superheroes.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I mean I get Ur point but they are working on introducing more female heroines to the show and try to change it. At this moment that panel and this promo "had" to look like this.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The purpose of promos is to attract people...

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm so juiced! It's awesome. Such a nerd. Aww man. That totally made my day!! I can't wait for the rest of the season for both.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ouch! Wow! Hahahaha. = p

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yep! This is just marketing nothing storywise connected.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It can back fire also.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thought you meant it deragtorily. Agreed though this is the stuff of nerdcomas. Dig doesn't have a costume though.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm not saying change the premise of the ad. I'm just saying it would've been better if there were bits and pieces of Diggle/Felicity/Cisco in it making awesome funny comments on the side. There's nothing wrong with promoting fan favorites as well.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Lmaoooo I only do that when I speak kligon. ; )

    ReplyDelete
  49. Christina Hardin13 April 2015 at 21:53

    Ok, that was great! And the ending was the best:) Now let's have one with all the supporting characters like Felicity, Digg, Cisco, and Caitlin...the non-mask wearing heroes we love.

    ReplyDelete
  50. exactly, Cisco isn't Vibe yet and Caitlin still needs to turn into Killer Frost. Meanwhile Felicity and Diggle need to find their comic personas (Dig=Rick Flagg; Felicity=Oracle)

    ReplyDelete
  51. This only makes me realize more and more that I need to catch up on The Flash ASAP. The crossover is happening this week right? I won't get caught up until next week I'm afraid.

    ReplyDelete
  52. True. But fan favourites don't dazzle potential viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Felicity, Diggle, Caitlin and Cisco have been portrayed as heroes on the show VERY often this year. Thea, Quentin and Iris not so much but I think that's just because their characters aren't there; it's been organic enough IMO.

    As for the promo, the point of it is not to appeal to the fans of the show (although I think that gets done in the process) who know how much all those other guys matter, but rather to capture and entice new people into the show. New people are much more willing to watch with a promo like this with super heroes and masks than a promo filled with "regular looking" people; it's just how it is - this is good marketing!

    ReplyDelete
  54. and sadly I know some, though I would have to check the spelling.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Am I the only one who just loved that elevator scene??? LOL I just love when my heroes are in public places spouting about and some fool is drooling. Especially in elevators, like idk whyyy but I love it!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. lol I would love to see that


    Felicity, Dig, Cisco, Joe, Caitlin and the others are sitting in a small club, while they're talking we hear fighting sounds from above. At the end of the conversation we see Ray falling from the top floor, he gets up slowly. "What happened?" "Not allowed to talk about it" *runs to the elevator

    ReplyDelete
  57. I know what the point of the promo is, am I not allowed to be disappointed because a lot of the people I watch the show for weren't included?

    ReplyDelete
  58. I don't think it has nothing to do with that. People are giving this context when it has none.


    It's just a promo to show off the costume department and some cool stunts... That's it!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Same here. I am so pumped! I am rewatching scenes from the crossover episodes as we speak! NERD ALERT!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Lmfaoooo. Geeks FTW dude.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm just saying marketing and cool wise Flash vs. Reverse Flash is a lot more fun than Fan favourites. Maybe if they were the audience but could be a distraction and I don't care how much I love Dig, Joe or Felicity nothing gets in the way of hero/villain fight club promos.

    ReplyDelete
  62. You're not, I still love that scene in Spiderman 2 after he lost his powers. "Nice Spidey costume". Gah, I need to rewatch that one ASAP.


    I just love how elevators bring such normality to our heroes, in a hilarious way :D

    ReplyDelete
  63. Why is Stein there though?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Couldn't agree more !!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. YES!!!!! A thousand times yes!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. To form Firestorm.

    ReplyDelete
  67. If there is a single "core viewer" of the shows that will stop watching because of this, I can guarantee that person would stop watching sooner rather than later for some other reason, when the storylines weren't to his satisfaction in one of the shows. The upside here is simply much more compelling than any potential downside!

    ReplyDelete
  68. YES! Where are you on The Flash? These recent episodes have been amazing! Have you watched Out of Time yet?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Sure it's okay. But I'm just wondering, would it have been harmful to add in some fun moments with Diggle/Felicity/Cisco? Not only does it make the promo diverse (come on, this promo was full of testosterone and white people), but it could've made it better while still retaining the flashiness of the masks

    ReplyDelete
  70. The Palmer bit at the end was great.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Hahahaha, Nahhh, this is specific! This is like a thing!! LOL Like I can't explain it, you would just know what I mean. Like Mac down there. We seem to be one today. LOL Let's see how long that last. I'm thinking another 3 Hrs. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  72. We won't see actually. None of us will ever have access to figures that allow us to conclude what the impact of the promo was.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I think it was my favorite Palmer moment yet

    ReplyDelete
  74. And Here We Go !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  75. But we will see how WB will be marketing this season.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I doubt Diggle will ever lead the Squad Mac. It's be cool be given his family, the whole morality thing he's got and the fact that after 3x17 he's done with the Squad. It ain't gonna happen.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Barry: And I thought you had anger management issues. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  78. that is what my back tattoo says.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Eh actually yeah I feel it would've ripped the momentum out.

    ReplyDelete
  80. right, but how can Felicity turn into Oracle when they are two different people in the comics? I understand they can combine but Felicity is her own character with back story etc... in comics.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I guess we'll agree to disagree :) That promo needed more diversity, imo. Plus if we did add the aforementioned characters, the promo probably would've been longer ;) How cool would that have been?

    ReplyDelete
  82. the vfx in that episode were out of this world good :D

    ReplyDelete
  83. Except he's not a superhero.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm seven episodes behind, which is really a lot actually. I think I'll manage to get all caught up in one or two weeks. And I've heard nothing but good thing about the recent Flash episodes so I'm eager to see them. It's just a lack of time you know.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Officially show universe wise no.

    ReplyDelete
  86. well i measure the act of a hero on their actions not because they were a hero/heroine in the comics. And half the "heroes" in that promo havent done anything to deserve that title.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I know yeah, I have several shows on the line as well. The Flash and Arrow are two I don't accept being behind though so I will always manage to squeeze them in somehow, even if it is at the expense of my hours of sleep ahah. But I am not a good example. Anyway, let me know how it goes with The Flash!

    ReplyDelete
  88. visual effects.

    ReplyDelete
  89. That was beyond cool! I can't stop watching!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Jesus. Just let it go. Roy has, Oliver has, Barry has, hell even Laurel had (the Uprising shit). Firestorm they're all superheroes. Diggle and Felicity are heroes, but they don't wear a mask or have the marketability they do.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Actually right length to me.

    ReplyDelete
  92. That was weird as hell, but also crazy fun in an AU sort of way. LOL at Heatwave's reaction to Firestrom, I think he's got a fan.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Sure, to each his own, you have the right to feel however you do. I was just saying that, regardless of whether we like it or not (I love it and you feel disappointed with it), from a marketing POV I think this makes sense.

    But of course we both can have different views ;)

    ReplyDelete
  94. In what AU does Oliver come close to beating Ra's? Or Merlyn joins in the fun sparring match? This is a ridiculous promo not meant to be taken seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  95. You meant embraced, right?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Good then i am gonna start calling everything the comic fanboys demand and is shown on the show fan-pandering.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Are these new?

    ReplyDelete
  98. Meh. Cheesy and Childish. Look at the suits.... We suit people are so awesome. Others are just there to be killed off. Joking not really. Not my cup of tea. The premise was funny. But the exclusive suit club will never sit well with me. Why not give other characters at least gallery seats. I am glad people here are happy with it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. who's the guy in the black outfit?

    ReplyDelete
  100. Oh, I'm not disappointed with the promo, I think it's cool. I'm just disappointed about the focus on the masks this year, and this promo leaving the BTS players out compounds that. I enjoy the super heroism, no doubt about it, but I also enjoy the every day heroism we see on the show, and the more promos focus on just the masks, the more I'm afraid that the show is going to go further in that direction. Makes me nervous, is all.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Awesome, cool, funny

    ReplyDelete
  102. No.


    The two preview clips came out a few weeks ago as did the other fan made one.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Brilliant promo!

    ReplyDelete
  104. It's a 3 minutes promo, jfc! Let us have a 3 minutes promo!

    ReplyDelete
  105. Smallville Fan #113 April 2015 at 22:38

    Really Felicity lovers you are talking about fan-pandering Give me a Break

    ReplyDelete
  106. hey it goes both ways.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Smallville Fan #113 April 2015 at 22:41

    Laurel is here to Stay
    Get over it
    And maybe in the future she could beat Malcolm Merlyn
    Come on now I am so sick of some of the people of the fandom

    ReplyDelete
  108. Smallville Fan #113 April 2015 at 22:41

    No it does not you have more fans than us

    ReplyDelete
  109. You're reading way too much into what is obviously just an out-of-character/noncanon fun video.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Smallville Fan #113 April 2015 at 22:47

    Anyway it was an awesome promo
    Love Barry so much

    ReplyDelete
  111. Victoria Llanos13 April 2015 at 22:47

    After the first 20 seconds when I realized we weren't really going to get anything I was desapointed, but about 20 seconds later when I got over it, I started enjoyng it. That was funny!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I wish I could upvote this more than once. This isn't a promo ABOUT the non-powered people.


    Hell, from a 'let's get people excited about the show who DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT, why would they put in the uncostumed people when these potential new viewers would have absolutely no idea who they were or why they should care? It's a promo to excite people into seeing these costumed fighters.


    And from another point of view, consider what kind of budget such a promo like this might have had. It's plausible that after everything ELSE they put into it, there wasn't enough in the budget to pay for the other actors times.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Why wouldn't there be a focus on masks and costumes? That is what the shows are about. That's like being surprised that a show called COPS doesn't tend to focus on firefighters.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Yes, LL is a hero. Not a particularly well skilled one yet, but she is trying and she has had development. However much that may upset some people.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Without commercials that is just a little over 4 hours and 30 minutes so it's totally doable.

    ReplyDelete
  116. How can a promo be that cheesy, yet totally awesome at the same time?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Did you miss Firestorm?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Victoria Llanos13 April 2015 at 23:09

    Yes, but potential viewers are not fans. Fans actually invest time in checking the show each week, potential/casual viewers don't, so most likely they haven't connected with the characters yet, otherwise they would watch the show mor often. Don't read too much into it, it's a generical supehero show, so they showed the known heroes and the villans kicking each others asses. Showing a bunch of people you don't really know, it's not publicity, and that's al this is.

    ReplyDelete
  119. This club only has one rule...there are no rules...BOOM!!!...i LOVE THIS !!!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Did I write that I was surprised that the show and it's marketing was focused on mask-wearing heroes?


    I wrote that I was disappointed that there was nary a sign of anyone who doesn't wear a mask (all of whom are heroes and have done heroic things on these shows), and that's one of the major reasons I watch. This season, in particularly on Arrow, the focus has been on the masks, less so on the people who support them. I'm just worried that promos like this are indicative of more of that to come, when I find the everyday heroism of Diggle and Felicity to be just as interesting ( if not moreso on occasion) than that of Oliver, Roy, Laurel and Ray.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I wanta promo ike thsi for the new show.

    ReplyDelete
  122. That was fun. Even if it isn't really canon, it was nice to see that fun Barry/Ollie banter again after watching Daredevil which, while amazing, has become the broody chapter of the MCU.



    Honestly, I'm looking forward to Luke Cage and Iron Fist being some light. Don't know what to expect with Jessica Jones.

    ReplyDelete
  123. This isn't even an AU. This is just a fun little promo. We already saw what happens actually in canon when Laurel picks a fight with Merlyn.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Correction, it's fun. Not 'childlike'.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Also, I'm sure people will be happy knowing that no one invited Atom.

    ReplyDelete
  126. i am for equal opportunity promo. The suits all had photoshoots on their own already this season. Why not make a promo for the non-masked heroes who make sure the heroes dont fall flat on their face.

    ReplyDelete
  127. This is the only time i'll admit i liked Atom/Ray for 10 secs there.Cool promo!

    ReplyDelete
  128. As was stated before its just AU.Promoting fan favorites from the show would not appeal to those who do not currently watch the show.It has to be fair.Felicity and Digg are heroes in their own right but what is their current super hero name on the show?This was abt the super heroes and their opposing villains.This was for the old comic book geeks ...sorry if you dont agree .

    ReplyDelete
  129. The CW is learning to do mind bending promos.
    This one was incredible!

    ReplyDelete
  130. They set the bar so high that it is a must!

    ReplyDelete
  131. I didn't, and you know what I meant.

    ReplyDelete
  132. ????? What did I just watch?

    I'm so confused right now...

    ReplyDelete
  133. Befor King Tuft's "Madness" appears in the fight club scene, what's the name of the song that plays when Ollie and Barry enter an elevator. It goes by 86,400 seconds.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Y'all go ahead and get your pitchforks because that was absolutely horrible. I cringed all the way through that silly, teen bop sounding song.
    I get the idea behind it and it would be cool if it wasn't so very childish. I want a cross promotion that gives me chills. That makes me excited to watch. One that makes me anxious for the next episode or the new show.
    I did love seeing Ra's, Victor Garber and Captain Cold.

    ReplyDelete
  135. What a shocker, a 3 minute long promo and you are criticizing everything that is Laurel related and that doesn't involve Felicity. This is not even from the show, is just a fun commercial and Roy ALSO beat Malcolm.

    What else is next, you miss the Ray hate at the end, you should make a new post about that, what a lame line right? How lame is Ray, stalker, boring, gosh.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Don't mind, she always do that when promotional stuff doesn't involves Felicity.

    Like you said it, it was made for fun but there's always that person who tries to break up the party.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Thank you Jesus.

    ReplyDelete
  138. yeah, just like Olicity

    ReplyDelete
  139. You don't even know that, this may have been filmed last week or last month, all the actors are in Vancouver right now, even Colton Haynes. And like 238328728327323283283288327832 users said, this was a promo with all the "in custome" heroes, does not mean that Felicity, Diggle, Caitlin, Cisco are not heroes.

    And I'm pretty sure Thea was not there because they haven't show us her costume yet.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I love this promo so much, epic.

    ReplyDelete
  141. What was this promoting exactly?

    ReplyDelete
  142. Equal opportunity promo? It's about a fun way to blow off steam between costumed and powered heroes and villains. This isn't feminism or an actual social issue.

    ReplyDelete
  143. The return of Flash and Arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  144. You watched awesomeness.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Yes so childish. You don't like it okay fair enough but that's absurd. And most people like it.

    ReplyDelete
  146. I love Felicity but yeah people really need to lay off this promo.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Well it's a superhero fight club. Suits only. Plus I doubt they could afford if budget wise.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Shannon you so get me on stuff like this.

    ReplyDelete
  149. That's great for those who do. I didn't say no one should like it. I don't like it and don't particularly care who does and why. Just as they shouldn't care that I don't like it.

    ReplyDelete
  150. It's a personal thing I guess. I am a tv and movie fan who likes comic book adaptations but not much into comics as it is. So when a major portion of characters I enjoy in these shows are sidelined in a promo like this I get crabby. Don't mind me at all. Enjoy.

    ReplyDelete
  151. I want a different promo with just Cisco/Caitlin/Felicity/Diggle in the background always trying to save the masked heroes butts (but in a funny way) -- Like sort of a behind the scenes thing. And when Oliver/Barry does something stupid they could just roll their eyes like it's a common occurrence :p

    ReplyDelete
  152. Seems like people have a stick up their butt over this promo... I think its AWESOME ! For some reason people can't take it for what it is, a fun promo. Instead of enjoying it they're nitpicking every little thing they didn't like about it and having a cry. God forbid the creators of the shows do something fun for the fans/potential fans to enjoy.

    ReplyDelete
  153. AWESOMELY HILARIOUS PROMO!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  154. No. I think I wasn't swayed either side. Didn't love it, didn't hate it it Mostly just a "huh?" feeling.

    ReplyDelete
  155. That was fun! And I hardly watch either show...

    ReplyDelete
  156. Ugh. That saddens me.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Yeah. But I'm so desillusioned about the mess Arrow has become. Especially after now seeing Daredevil do a dark, well written vigilante action flawlessly.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Ridiculously awesome promo. I'm kind of hoping that this is part of the episodes even though I'm pretty sure it's not. I have a dilemma coming up and I need some advice. Does anyone know if the all star episode of the Flash can be watched as a stand-alone, without having seen the season? I'm all caught up with Arrow, but I haven't started watching Flash yet (it's very high on my list of shows to watch this summer). I really want to watch the all star episode but I'm afraid that I won't know what's going on.

  159. Actually i do now that it was filmed at the TCAs since James Bamford the stunt coordinator posted pics from the shoot.

  160. Oh its not about feminism at all. But it would have been very easy to please all the fans. Not just say hey look at the heroes & vigilantes in costumes.

  161. It's just not a very good promo. I like it as a comic fan but it is really misleading. If anyone watches this and tunes into the show I think they'd be disappointed.



    I wish Arrow was more like that but it isn't. At all.

  162. I disagree immensely. Daredevil's fantastic, but Arrow is still great.

  163. I know it's not. My point was saying equal opportunity was a tad much.

  164. (sigh) It's a non-canon hero fight club promo. Anyone expecting this, apparently can't do basic research. The point is to get fans excited and hey maybe I should check that out. Not hey it's a superhero fight club, this is totally indicative of the show's premise. It's an excellent promo, and no one's that stupid to expect this verbatim. I don't. It would be like eating a carton of ice cream every day. Extremely unhealthily and really disgusting after a while.

  165. Yeah. I wasn't trying to argue or convince anyone. It's just my personal feelingsm

  166. You don't expect it because you already watch the shows.

    Nothing in this tells me I should expect something completely different from what is being advertised. It's fun, I'm not disputing that. What I am disputing is that it is an effective advertisement.

  167. I would say skip the episode if you have plans to watch Flash later on. Because in this episode Barry is going through a dilemma which will spoil the season's biggest secret for you. This episode only has Ray Palmer and Felicity Smoak guest starring on The Flash. You won't miss anything important about Arrow if you miss it where as you will be spoiled on a season long Flash arc by watching this.

    Cool promo. Well done.


    That said. let me throw some cold water on people AGAIN based on the comments that have gone on back and forth:


    This is a marketing promo. It is designed to grab the attention and hold it for a few moments and pique interest. THAT'S IT. Nothing more, nothing less.


    It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what defines a hero, or giving credit to the non masked characters, or satisfying what the fans want. In fact the fans don't need a promo. THEY'RE ALREADY FANS! This isn't for them.


    This is for advertisers and marketing reps. To show them the cool stuff CW is doing. This is for people who don't watch the show to watch the show. That's it.


    So what would it hurt to put Felicity and Diggle in there too? Really? People are asking that? MONEY!!!! GET IT? That's what would hurt! Why would CW pay to have Emily Bett Rickards or David Ramsey or anyone else if they don't have to?


    Got it? No? Maybe? I'm looking around the classroom and there are still some blank stares.

  173. I dispute that. It displays the heroes and villains, their relationships with each other. And is a fun promo. No better way to get people to want to watch.

  174. Yes, and I think I see Mama Felicity in the elevator. LOOK at her face, goggling over those gents! :)
