Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and during my Seeing Red video I asked you all to submit
questions about the rest of the season and the big WTF reveals.
So I picked 10 of them to answer in this video with one bonus question.
Also if you’re finding me for the first time, just because this season of Arrow has
been so awesome, I’m doing a special series of bonus videos counting down to the finale.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything.
They post each Wednesday before the episodes air.
Feel free to leave me suggestions for those in the comments.
So let’s talk some Connor Hawke and Deathstroke, careful for spoilers for everything through
episode 20 if you’re not caught up.
Here we go, Question 1 - Rose Lily asks Will Oliver tell Thea that he is the green arrow
now?
I think that person he tells in the trailer for the next episode is Thea.
It could be a misdirect, because Thea talks about being sick of all the lies and we know
that Merlyn is back, so she could just be talking to Merlyn in that scene and Oliver
could be talking to someone else.
But I think Thea will know the truth by the finale.
I mean everyone else in Oliver’s family seems to know at this point.
And Quentin is the only main-character besides her that doesn’t know.
So Oliver is either telling him or Thea.
Question 2 - Tim asks Do you think Roy will be fixed or healed before the Season Finale?
Yes, I think all of the Mirakuru drama with the army of super soldiers will be over by
then.
In the episode description for streets of fire, episode 22, it mentions Caitlin Snow
making a big breakthrough at STAR Labs.
So they probably get the cure in that episode and use it, but that won’t be the end of
it.
I think in the finale Slade’s army will be gone and it will just be Team Arrow VS
Team Deathstroke.
Just the core main characters this season.
I think the big theme this season or at least the second half of the season, is Full Circle.
So think back to where Oliver and Slade started.
They were on the island.
Gradually new characters came in and eventually we got all the new Team Arrow people, Slade
has his team and his army.
Now a bunch of them are going to go away or die.
So these last couple of episodes we’re traveling back to the beginning.
So the final moments will be just like things were when everything started on the island.
Just Oliver and Slade.
I’m also saying that the final moments of the finale, will probably take place on the
island.
Question 3 - The PTMD3 asks Who's Connor Hawke?
I’m going to just take from recent comic book history but Connor Hawke is the son of
Oliver Queen and Sandra Hawke.
In the new 52 comics he’s the Red Arrow.
So everyone is expecting this new kid of Oliver’s to turn out to be Connor.
They could be doing something different on the show and Gender Bend the character.
I think that it would be wasting too much of an opportunity for them to just make the
child a normal non-comic book character.
But even if it is Connor, that doesn’t mean Oliver’s going to train him right away.
I mean in the timeline of the show he’s about 6 or 7.
So basically this child, we’re hoping is the implied heir of the Green Arrow legacy,
someday, when Oliver dies or retires.
This child will take up the Mantle.
Just like some of the Robin’s in the Batman comics have taken up the mantle of the Bat
when Bruce Wayne goes away for a long period of time.
Question 4 - Manuel Cortez asks Is Oliver's son the next person who has to die according
to Slade or will he live and Oliver will train him?
Otherwise why bring that issue to the show?﻿
There’s a couple of reasons they could be dumping this info on us now.
First off, I definitely think the child will figure into the finale.
Otherwise they would have waited to introduce him in the season 3 cliffhanger.
That doesn’t mean Slade will try to kill him.
But he’s defnitely done his homework on Oliver.
So I think he knows about the child and will hang him, so to speak, over Oliver’s head.
That could either be like Slade doing that same pick who dies moment using Felicity and
Oliver’s Son.
Or he could just straight up kidnap him and take him to the island to raise as his own.
We have to end up back on the island some how, so someone is getting kidnapped either
way.
Question 5 - Monika Pain asks what was Moira going to say about Malcolm before Slade attacked
them?
She was just going to tell them he’s still alive.
Merlyn really just said that he wanted Thea, he wanted his daughter to be with him.
So I think he’s going to offer to take her away.
If he has a secret plan involving Thea, they show hasn’t revealed it yet.
He’s not coming back till episode 22.
So whatever is happening between Daddy and Daughter will go down then.
Question 6 - Laxus Dreyar asks Do you think Oliver or Thea will take up Moira’s run
for Mayor?
They could totally do the Oliver Queen as Mayor story from the comics.
It would be an interesting wrinkle in whatever the big story of season 3 is.
Mayor and daddy by day, vigilante by night.
I think I’d rather see Diggle or someone else be mayor, but I wouldn’t be surprised
if Oliver takes the job.
I don’t think anyone expects Brother Blood to make it to Season 3 still being mayor.
I think Laurel will totally kill him in the finale.
Question 7 - Sergio asks who's worse at keeping their secret identity a secret, Oliver Queen/Arrow
or Bruce Wayne/Batman?﻿
Definitely Oliver, like I said: Pretty much his whole family except for Thea found out.
Barry knows, everyone at ARGUS and some of his biggest enemies like Merlyn and Slade.
Brother Blood doesn’t know, which I think tells you just how important his character
is.
As in he’s not that important.
Batman’s identity has been found out by a few villains and super smart characters,
but generally it’s really really rare.
Question 8 - Bobby asks what is your thoughts about them creating a new shared DC Universe
with the movies and tv shows?
What do you think they should include in that?
So David Goyer said something recently, he’s mostly known for writing comics and he’s
the one writing the Superman VS Batman movie.
He said that Warner Brothers, who owns all the movie rights and they own DC Comics, isn’t
quite ready for a unified system like Marvel.
Not enough of the right people in charge are on board with the idea.
The problem is, you just have an army of producers and writers who all want to do their own thing.
And in order to do a shared movie and tv universe it has to be a priority for everyone from
the top down.
When they do get that figured out I think it should be just like Marvel’s version.
All the studio and netflix movies and tv shows should exist in the same universe.
And let the comics and the animated shows exist separately.
Question 9 - Brad Gilbert asks Does killing Moira give Merlyn andTeam Arrow a reason to
unite?
Definitely, but I think the real thing that will convince Merlyn to fight with Oliver
will be Thea asking him to help.
Asking him as her father.
Like she says I’ll let you be a part of my life if you help my friends and family
defeat Slade.
So for Merlyn I think it will be more of a temporary truce with Team Arrow.
He doesn’t hate Oliver, but as Stephen Amell once said: “They have unfinished business”.
He was talking mostly about Tommy and the Undertaking from season 1.
Question 10 - Dansky Games asks do you, think that the last person that slade said has to
die is Himself?
I think that’s a really important thing to consider.
I don’t know the whole plot of the finale or anything.
But I think it would a really awesome twist, if Slade during the process of the finale.
Starts to realize what he’s done and is just so overcome with greif that he asks Oliver
to Kill Him and end it all.
In that situation, killing him would be like an act of mercy.
So I don’t think Oliver will do it, he’ll prevent Slade from dying or killing himself,
so he has to live with all the bad things he’s done since taking the mirakuru.
Bonus Question - Red Arrow asks do you think that Oliver’s child and the mother will
be featured on The Flash show this fall?﻿
Yes, but only in episodes that invoke people from Arrow.
I don’t expect the Flash to cast them as regulars.
I think we’ll only see them when Oliver visits the Flash show or when the Flash show
crosses over with Arrow.
That doesn’t include being mentioned.
I think Oliver and Team Arrow will talk about his kid a lot and we just won’t see them.
Like they’ve been talking a lot about Barry, but we haven’t actually seen him since episode
9.
