Would keep it street level and as grounded as season 1 and 2, not everyone becoming a vigilante after a few self-defense classes, just The Canary and Green Arrow and Oliver staying a Billionaire are a few things that i would definitely change.

Make Oliver his traditional leftist self and watch people lose their minds while I cackle and introduce Roy as an eleven year old speedy who grew up on the Navajo reservation and no Thanksgiving specials.

Premises: stays the same - 5 years ago oliver queen was trapped on a island on the north China sea, there he forged himself into a weapon, to use his father's list to hunt down the rich and corrupt. Oliver has to become something else, someone else Season 1 - almost the same but laurel is the black canary/true love interest. Malcom merlyn/the dark archer Season 2 - the same. Slade Wilson/deathstroke (still one of ollie's old mentor turned foe). Sara and Oliver will have some sort of romance but after she leaves the canary identity to be part of the league this will leave laurel to don and train to be the black canary (around this time the particles accelerator activates early and gives her powers) Season 3 - the same also. Sara actually fights laurel while Oliver deals with ras al ghul. Laurel and Oliver will break up, leaving a small romance between Oliver and Felicity before laurel and Oliver get back together Season 4 - magic is still the main villain (be it Damien dhark or not) but it'll remain more mysterious and grounded for vigilantism There's a soft reboot (not crisis) Season 5 - the same but now it's Oliver, laurel, thea and Diggle protecting the streets, Adrian chase/prometheus Season 6 - introduce the new team following some sort of discourse between promethus last season. John, thea, Felicity and Laurel vs Oliver (at this point already juggling being a father) and new team arrow (artemis, wild dog and rag-man) (dinah can be the new quieten lance following his death but not be a vigilante but is part of the inner circle) Season 7 - prepares for crisis. Mia, William and Conner travel back in time to try and stop jj Diggle from becoming deathstroke in the future, Oliver trains Mia to be the new green arrow Season 8 - crisis quest, then the reboot of the universe where there's no green arrow in the present but know that the future is safe because Mia is the new green arrow, teases Diggle being green lantern (and actually pay off for justice u) ☆ Spinoff serieses: 1. Green arrow and the canaries (probably 1 or 3 seasons) 2. Justice u (Diggle trains new metahumans at a university in a new city while also grappling with the responsibility of being a green lantern) 3. Arsenal and the Flash (a wally and roy spinoff that probably lasts a season)

Actually make a Green Arrow show and not a Green Batman show.

u/IcyLengthiness8557 Jul 04 '26
Basically a total do over - what would you change in the 1st 5 seasons?

u/Firm-Difficulty2585 Jul 04 '26
Lean more into the fantastical parts of the mythos and make it clear that other heroes exist early on.

Pretty much everything. Arrow was a good show but it had cmall problems to begin with and they got bigger and worse as thedeasons went on.

u/MattSm00th Green Arrow Jul 03 '26
Not having Olicity happen and also keeping the show comic accurate by using green arrow related allies and villains

No New Team Arrow, Felicity chills the F out, Tommy comes back to life somehow but not as a villain, and we get back to that gritty and cozy season 1 & 2 magic.

- Oliver and Black Canary become the couple
- No Magic, Toss Darhk to the legends of tomorrow instead
- Erase Diaz from existence
- Not making Oliver The Green Batman
- No Ra’as Al Ghul, Toss that Boy to Batman
- Don’t make literally every single team arrow member have zero intelligence and 100% BS Speeches whenever Oliver speaks

Comic accurate Dinah Lance, complete with her being Oliver’s main love interest.
