Look, I don't want to be mean and message the person directly, but someone commented on the Bruce-Oliver twitter post that it was OOC for Oliver because 'Oliver Queen would be happy to be a billionaire because he's everything Bruce haters think Bruce is' and, like, tell me you've never read a Green Arrow comic without telling me you've never read a Green Arrow comic.

#green arrow #oliver queen #fair warning: if you track down and harass this person over their incorrect Green Arrow opinions I will fight you #but seriously though #the only way you can interact with Green Arrow and assume he'd be down with billionaires is either only watching Arrow #or having fallen into a coma circa 1970 something and only just waking up #like Oliver Queen has gone through multiple storylines where he loses all of his money #and all of them end with the conclusion that he is a better person when he isn't a billionaire or anything close to it #hell the first if these?#Dennis O'Neil rewrote the inciting incident a few years later to make it so that Oliver *willingly donates* all of his money #because he thought the original plotline was too weak and wishy-washy and wanted to make it clear that the money itself was the problem #look. Is Oliver Queen an asshole a lot of the time? Yes.#Can you make an entirely legitimate argument that Green Arrow weakens a lot of other characters (especially Black Canary) by association?#Yes #Is it entirely legitimate to dislike Oliver Queen? I have several mutuals who loathe him so I'd say yes #but to cast Oliver in a specific light that has practically no basis in the actual canon? That blows.#again I cannot stress enough: don't harass the person who made that comment
