Watch Arrow, then compare that to Stephen (with a ph, not a v) Universe. You'll clearly see which one has superior storytelling. Arrow? As in, the CW show? dude no They turned Green Arrow into batman for that show. It has no respect for the comics and after Season 1 it just kept going down hill and down hill and down hill and it's going to crash. The Flash is better, but I still think Steven Universe has superior storylines. They had subtle clues since the freakin' pilot about things only being just revealed as of recent. I think that Oliver Queen is more of a mix between Batman and Green Arrow rather than just Batman, but yes, he is darker than in the comics. However, they had a specific audience in mind with Arrow, and to reach that audience they had to make GA a little darker. However, they do have lots of respect for the comics, they just heavily adapt it so that nerds like you and I don't say "I knew that that was going to happen because of issue number 666 of Detective Comics!" or something of the sort. |

Don't call me a nerd. Tim, they don't even have powers in Arrow. Why introduce the Flash if you had plans to make Arrow overly realistic without any of the wisecracking charm and superpowered villains that the show had? Better yet, WHY ARE WE COMPARING STEVEN UNIVERSE TO ARROW? NEITHER ARE ANIMATED AND BOTH HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AUDIENCE. Steven Universe is a coming of age action adventure show with intense battle scenes and amazing powers, and Arrow is an overly gritty, dark rendition of a beloved comic book character that deals with concepts like vigilantism. |

The term 'nerd' has developed negative stigma over the years, however, I had intended the term to be unbiased (neither positive nor negative) and due to a lack of a common word which I could use simply chose the closest thing I could find. Notice I called myself a nerd as well. They do have superpowers in Arrow. Not in season 1, but in season 2 they have superdrugs and in season 3 there are several characters with superpowers, not to mention the spinoff show. We're not comparing the content, we're comparing the storytelling quality. Arrow is a story that manages to captivate me and keep me interested and intrigued. I watched an episode of Stephen Universe today where one of the gem-girls had the gem in the center of her chest cracked, and I think that if they hadn't decided to tear me out of the show every five minutes with a pointless quip about Stephen's stupidity and had instead made him seem even slightly concerned I might be able to feel somewhat concerned for her safety myself. Now, I won't judge an entire TV show based on one episode, but I watched an episode of that, an episode of Clarence, an episode of Uncle Grandpa and an episode of Regular Show today and they all sucked. |

Dude. You never watch only ONE episode of a coming of age story. "An Indirect Kiss" is a terrible episode to start off with, as it was filler to introduce his healing spit for the mid-season finale. It's better to watch the first episode, bare through the stupidity, and then eventually get to a good episode where some action happens. Season 2 has been great so far for Steven Universe. I mean, LOOK AT THIS! It's amazing |

I'll check out the pilot episode sometime eventually maybe, but for now, based upon what I have seen, I do not think it is very entertaining. |

Money's money And Roblox is  like money. Money's money. Good I could order that out with you. Shilling is just another way to earn that mighty shekel. |

IN all honesty I haven't read all that many reviews on it aside from Euganizor of ROBLOX's PC behaving like a troll and saying that the Dark Knight is better than Arrow, Green Lantern and Gotham. |

Comics books are a gateway to better things.
Like drugs.

I don't feel strongly either way about TTG. It's something to watch if I have nothing to do.
