I Don't Mean To Pick You Apart But I Can't Help It
Confession:
I see people squeeing over Arrow and Felicity/Oliver all over tumblr and other places and I keep trying to watch it but my issue?
I'm a huge fan of DC Comics (or the old ones, it's hit or miss with New 52) and one of my otps growing up was Oliver/Dinah. Laurel in the show is obviously supposed to be Dinah but a really, really poor man's version of her. And I have a hard time just letting that go. And it's interesting because most of the people I know who are hooked on Arrow don't seem that familiar with the Green Arrow or Black Canary comics and I wonder if that helps with it. Probably. I try to just accept adaptations as seperate entities but it's really hard for me.
I still feel bad for my friends who have had to suffer me ranting about my issues with Nolan's take on Batman. And like such a dark take on Oliver is hard for me too. TBH every time I try to watch more of it I find myself just wanting to rewatch the Justice League Unlimited cartoons.
Does anyone else have this issue with adaptations? Like I'm obviously not attacking anyone who does like this show or Oliver/Felicity but it's just an interesting thing to me I guess how stubborn your mind can get about things. Plus, I was well overdo to make a post that isn't about how much my life is sucking right now.
