Ben Browder on Arrow.

Jan 23, 2013 21:23

Okay. The episode just aired here on the east coast, so I'm posting the majority of this under a spoiler cut (if I remember how!!) Also, I'm ranty and swear a lot here :P

Okay. So what the actual fuckity fuck?

FIRST of all, I do NOT remember Green Arrow shooting to kill. Yes, most of my knoweledge of him comes from Smallville. However, I also remember that he did not do this in the comics from what I read.

SERIOUSLY, CW?! You want darker and edgier, do NOT change what is a major character point. It makes you look like a fucking asshole.

And while we're on the topic of whatever, why the ever living fuck does nearly ever square inch of TV I watch nowadays has the fucking VET as the go-to bad guy?! 9/10 times, the vet is either bad, or so inept due to PTSD that they're useless.

HELLO!!!! I live with PTSD every single fucking day. Granted, it is a (thankfully) mild case most of the time, but I have some really bad days! And also, I do NOT go around after deciding to be bad one day just because I am sooooo bored because this world is not as adrenaline pumping as Iraq was. Seriously?!

I don't blame Ben at all for this. It is allll CW. Sigh.

Browder, you'll never read this, but you're still on my top five.

Okay, that's it. There'd probably be more, bu pgwfolc ade me lose my shit in a fit of giggles on Facebook :P

(Also, weird LJ changes are weird @_o)

ben browder, arrow, vets
