Hey guys

So, I'm writing this up after frankly well needing to have certain stuff from the recent GA Rebirth run addressed.

Don't own Green Arrow or anything DC related since if I did I would be making some changes.


In a motel room

Oliver is placing his Green Arrow suit inside a duffle bag, which is laying next to his bow and quiver before zipping it closed. Hearing the door open and close Oliver turns to see Dinah walking in.

"You getting ready for us to go on patrol?" Dinah asked.

"No, I'm actually going to go stash my equipment some place, then go meet up with a lawyer so I can get myself legally declared alive once more and try to work on getting my family's company back" Oliver said.

"You stubborn bastard. How many times have I told you that's not what you need to be doing and money from companies isn't going to help anything, it just causes more problems" Dinah said stepping forward and getting ready to hit him.

Only Oliver catches her fist with glaring at Dinah for a moment before dropping Dinah's hand.

"Enough! Your done hitting me and that's three times you've done that. I'm fed up with letting you walk all over me. From since we first met all you've done is criticize me about everything, belittling me about everything. Like that one time I tried to ask you about a scar you have, instead you got angry with mocking me for having gotten a scar from being a spoiled rich kid who crashed his bike" Oliver said angrily.

"You need somebody to call you out on your crap and that's what I'm doing, heck that's what Diggle and Emiko do as well. For hitting you well sometimes you need a more physical wakeup call" Dinah said snarling.

"Yeah I've got words for Diggle and Emiko as well for constantly treating me like crap all the time. I can live without my family's company, but it does help. Especially given how I use it to give people jobs with helping the poor and homeless. Dinah contrary to what you think not all rich people are evil" Oliver said.

"You're not just going to walk out on me, I love you" Dinah said.

"Maybe you do, but you certainly don't treat me like it. I've got more self-respect then to just be abused and silently take it. I love you, but I'm done being in a toxic relationship. Good bye Dinah Lance. I would say until we meet again, but your best off staying out of my way" Oliver growls irately and a dangerous tone in his voice.

Dinah tries to form a response only Oliver has already walked past her and left the room, leaving her standing there alone.


I hope you all enjoyed that

Now why did I write this up? To keep things simple, I'll discuss some of my problems I have with Ben Percy's GA run in Rebirth and well those issues have led to me dropping the book.

First it seems like from #1 the entire run has been let's bash Oliver Queen for anything and everything in almost every comic or every other comic.

Also, the Oliver/Dinah relationship pretty much consists of Dinah constantly belittling and abusing Oliver to the point of where she has hit him once or twice with Oliver just silently taking it.

You can't have a healthy relationship if one person frequently belittles the other and sometimes hits them.

Plus, Dinah has a real serious problem with rich people which she acts like any rich person is evil and doesn't deserve to have their money. I remember in the recent comics Dinah broke up with Oliver because he wanted to get his company back.

Regarding the rest of the characters like Diggle and Emiko they seem to join in on bashing Oliver of he's an always wrong punching bag. Then the writing supports this as well for it's never ending theme of let's bash Oliver.

Of course Dinah, Emiko and whoever else never get called out for any of their actions which is my big problem with this.

Which is all too much of a reminder for how Oliver gets treated on the Arrow TV show by his friends and family, especially in the later seasons.

For the GA/BC relationship Ben Percy has said in an interview that he thinks couples can only be interesting if they are fighting well that's total crap.

I like the characters Green Arrow and Black Canary so to see them reduced to what Benjamin Percy and his crew are doing with them is sad.

Anyhow I'm out for now, until next time.
