Spoilers Arrow - Season 4
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Well, Ray Palmer in the show is essentially Ted Kord. With a touch of Tony Stark.
It's a nice thought, but the show's already done the billionaire-loses-fortune angle with Oliver, so it might seem repetitive. Plus, he'd still need money to keep that expensive ATOM suit in operation. Although I guess if Felicity owns his company now, she could bankroll him.
Hey, it just occurred to me -- on the theme of how close the show characters are to their comics counterparts, if Felicity now owns a high-tech company, that makes her slightly more like the comics character she was named after. Or at least slightly less completely unlike the comics character.
Whatever his financial status is I imagine they will downplay him being rich. Now that he will be a full time superhero with his shrinking abilities, it would make sense to move away from the similarities to Ted Kord who he was originally written as. Even if he still has money I doubt he will return to being fully running his company.
I think it would be very difficult for Ray Palmer not to even accidentally create a new fortune, if he keeps being true to the man he is.
Of course, Hank Pym in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thought that "shrinking" technology would destroy the world. Considering what it would do for housing, farming and freight, the economical upheaval would be gaslights to light bulbs times a million.
Is Ray afraid of changing the world?

Did you notice the blonde running for mayor in the trailer?
Woo Hoo!
Woo Hoo!
She was an in an episode of The Flash back in 1990.
It's about time Jezza stepped up, and represented.

Can we talk speculation re the trailer "in the open" or just in spoiler tags?
Spoiler tags. Some people do not want to watch the trailer.
In this short second we saw it i got a Judge Dredd vibe off it
Very nice trailer that did it's job.. i am intrigued and excited for season 4 (as if i needed a trailer to do that
)
Good point, need new puns. Judge Dreggle?!
I know Guardian is a popular choice/theory for a comic book identity Diggle could take on, and the helmet actually is kind of similar to the one worn by Guardian in the comics. Pre-Flashpoint. New 52.
There were a couple other Guardians, but they pretty much all wore the same costume and helmet.

He'd need a shield, though, to be a proper Guardian.
That'd probably look to the uninitiated like too much of a Captain America rip-off...which would be fine since they didn't shy away from ripping of the Iron Man suit, except no less than two of the Howling Commandos are set to appear this season.

Judge Digg.
I'd say it was. It definitely wasn't Laurel or Thea. It was Felicity, her voice was just echoing.
Is that the same exec who said Wells is an original character and not Thawne?
I don't think Digg is Guardian either, but that's hardly a reasonable argument with this lot.
*Granted the thing with Wells still works on a technicality and isn't actually a lie. But it's still splitting hairs. And it wouldn't be hard for them to do something similar with Diggle.

I don't know that it's desirable for Diggle to be Guardian. I mean, John Diggle himself is a show-original character who's subsequently been added to the comics, like many characters before him such as Jimmy Olsen, Harley Quinn, and Phil Coulson. (Hey -- Olsen and Coulson. I just realized that.) Why take that away by subsuming him beneath a pre-existing hero identity? Wouldn't it do the character more justice to let him remain an original?
Not to mention that Agents of SHIELD already pulled the "original character turning out to be an existing comics character after all" twist with Skye/Quake, and as mentioned above, The Flash kinda did it with Wells/Thawne. At this point, it'd be fresher to let the original character actually stay an original character for a change.
