What I would change about the DCTV universe

Burtonverse Changes

Nolanverse CHanges

DCEU Changes

Arkhamverse

Arrow

DCTV’s Oliver is the Green Arrow and not an emotionless humorless Batman clone and Arrow is a Green Arrow adaptation, not a bitter man’s incorporating Batman elements into Green Arrow just cause WB would not let him make a Batman show and Oliver does not bitterly say “I wanted to name you Oracle but it was already taken” like this guy actually thought Felicity was on Barbara Gordon’s level. and to Marc Guggenheim, disabled characters are interchangeable. It´s the fact, you think you can just take the bare bones of Barbara Gordon´s amazing story, and transplant it onto a character, who is not Barbara Gordon!!! Because all disabled characters are the same. Because the only characteristic, disabled characters have is their disability clearly. It´s the fact, that you think, just because you have a hacker character, that she is the same as Barbara. It´s the fact, that you ignored all the emotional depth behind Barbara´s transition from Batgirl to Oracle, and her dealing with her assault, trauma and depression, for a cheap little story about how hard it is for Oliver to deal with Felicity´s spinal injury. Because why should disabled people´s stories actually be about them? It´s much more important how the boyfriend feels about it. Then once the boyfriend has angsted, we can maybe dedicate one episode to Felicity dealing with her trauma, even though it´ll still be a side plot, because “more important things to do.” It´s the fact that you think, it´s not copying or blatantly ripping off the Batman comics, as long as you make a cute little joke about it. It´s the fact that at the end of the day, you don´t want to write a Green Arrow show. It´s never what you wanted. You want to write a Batman show, but WB wouldn´t let you. 

Felicity is a better character. What I mean is Felicity has really shitty moments in Arrow. She got better last season, but that does not erase the fact that she can be a really awful person. Felicity would not mock dead people at their own funerals. First Felicity makes horrible comments about Moira at Moira’s funeral when she had died because she sacrificed herself for her children. Then Felicity tries to convince Oliver to let Thea die because she doesn’t agree with him joining Ra’s to save his little sister. and then she makes sarcastic comments about the shady stuff Waller has done while people are trying to have a toast for her and her sacrifice. Felicity stands up for herself against the hallucination of her past self.  In the episode where Felicity is greeted by the ghost of her past self, Felicity defines herself by her relationship with Oliver. Felicity does not define herself and doesn’t even try to defend herself or try to prove her hallucination of her past self wrong and what is even more infuriating is the episode treats it like it’s A GOOD THING. Oh and another thing? FELICITY IS NOT MADE DISABLED AND THEN FUCKING CURED 5 FUCKING EPISODES LATER! I AM STILL NOT FUCKING OVER THIS BULLSHIT, FUCK YOU FUCK YOU MARC GUGGENHEIM  

At the end of season 2 the Arrow and Quentin build enough trust to each other that Oliver reveals his identity to Quentin.

Laurel Lance is not pointlessly fridged and brought back to be the villain. Laurel’s character arc in seasons 1 and 2 were great. However, instead of Sara going back with the LOA, what happens instead at the end of season 2 is Oliver, Sara and Laurel together. Basically Sara telling everyone she is tired of fighting and decides to retire as the Canary, but before she does, she decides to train Laurel, because Starling City needs The Canary. And Oliver accepts it and doesn’t throw a bitchfit over Laurel becoming the Black Canary and everyone in Team Arrow constantly shitting on Laurel for becoming the Black Canary. Oh and the claim that Laurel had no prior experience? Laurel  took defense classes her whole life and knows jujitsu. She knew how to fight on her own, it’s not Laurel’s fault Guggenheim just wanted pointless angst. But Laurel would not pointlessly die. Quentin would die in her place, that would put Laurel in a dark place, but she would overcome it and still maintain her character and she would help defeat Dahrk. And guess what? She would fucking help John in prison. Laurel would continue being the kickass lawyer by day and Black Canary by night. She would struggle mourning Quentin’s death but she fights on because that’s what he would’ve wanted. and we as her fans and as an audience deserved to see Laurel alive and not brought back to be evil. We deserved to see Laurel alive and happy, we deserved to see Laurel deserving better than what she actually got. We deserved to see Laurel and Sara reuniting in the crossover episodes. We fucking deserved to see Laurel meeting Kara Danvers. WE FUCKING DESERVED LAUREL LANCE ALIVE, HAPPY AND KICKING ASS AND NOT POINTLESSLY FRIDGED. 

Amanda Waller is not played by a skinny good looking actress. In the words of Waller’s own creator John Ostrander “ Both Amanda Waller’s appearance on Arrow and in the New 52 DC Universe is changed; rather than older, stouter, and shorter, she’s now model thin and young and, well, sexy. I’ve always thought of Amanda as many things but ‘sexy’ was not one of them. I don’t control what happens with Waller or where she goes or how she looks  she is owned by DC Entertainment and Warners, I knew that going in. She is their property.That said, I think the changes made in her appearance are misguided. There were and are reasons why she looked the way she did. I wanted her to seem formidable and visually unlike anyone else out there. Making her young and svelte and sexy loses that. She becomes more like everyone else. She lost part of what made her unique.” Leslie Jones would have been good to play the DCTV’s Amanda Waller 

Ra’s Al Ghul would not be whitewashed yet again while having daughters who are woc. Seriously what is it about a character named Ra’s Al Ghul, a character typically based in the Middle East and a character who looks like this 

That just makes WB say  ‘Yes that sounds like the name of a white dude with a british accent’ “hey I know, let’s cast the most stale and wooden whiteboy we can find instead of accurately casting Ra’s Al Ghul, while we’re at it let’s keep on mispronouncing his fucking name cause fuck you”

White Canary, Sin, and Artemis are not pointlessly whitewashed. Look it’s very fucking simple. If you are not going to have Asian characters in your show, don’t even have them and don’t fucking whitewash them

The character of Artemis is not pointlessly ruined

Instead of Black Siren, we would have Earth 2 Tommy Merlyn as the Dark Arrow.

Prometheus would be who he is in the comics and not a darker GA. While Adrian Chase was a good villain. I strongly feel that the original Prometheus is a stronger character. Prometheus’ background was that his family was killed by the police which could have made good social commentary on police brutality in our modern society and this would push him on the same course as his comic counterpart where he is traumatized to “annihilate the forces of justice” in order to get revenge for his dead parents. Plus, his look in the comics is better than being  a darker reflection of The Green Arrow

The Flash

We do not get a repeat of the same old formula of a evil speedster faster than Barry and Barry has to get faster again and again

I don’t feel the need to change Legends since I don’t have a strong connection with the show,  aside from stop bringing Damian Dahrk back to life

Supergirl

Season 1 remains the same.

No Mon-El and no Daxam. Instead of the emotionally abusive gaslighting slave owner, it’s Powergirl in the pod. Don’t know what to replace the Daxamites with, but it would be a better written season to have Supergirl and Powergirl to form a sisterly bond than to see Kara with that asshole and degraded a season later.

Kara Danvers is not belittled constantly by an abusive ex to the point where she thinks “Kara Danvers is a mistake” I will say this about what they did to Kara in the beginning of season 3 from what I said about how awful Karamel was last year.  “It’s not a fucking woman’s job to be consumed and invaded and spat out so that some fucking man can evolve.”  All we wanted was strong independent Kara to show women and young girl that you can be happy and strong without a significant other and for Kara to be happy.  Kara once said “Supergirl is what I can do. Kara is who I am.“ funny how season 3 forgot about that

Sanvers is not broken up and not broken up over something that can be easily fucking resolved if they just fucking talked. They broke up for no fucking reason. They built it up and broke it up for no fucking reason. ESPECIALLY WHEN MAGGIE SAWYER HAS A FUCKING KID IN THE COMICS, THERE WAS NO FUCKING REASON WHY SANVERS HAD TO BE BROKEN UP

James, Winn and J’onn actually get screen time. We barely see them but they Kara’s friends and people who always help Kara out and it’s just bad writing not to give them ANYTHING.

Lucy Lane is not removed from the show  

Supercorp happens. It’s not rocket science on why it should happen. They love each other, they treat each other like soul mates, they practically look at each other like they are lovers, there is actual chemistry and Supercorp is the show’s equivalent to Clois. It should have happened in season 2.  Before I finish I would just like to take this time to The CW, Jeremy Jordan and Melissa Benoist. FUCK. YOU. Fuck you for constantly queerbaiting us, and fuck you for mocking us in July for wanting these two characters to be together. Instead of giving us Kara and Lena two characters together who show each other that they are loved, constantly support each other, Kara making Lena see the good in her and let Kara know that Supergirl is not the only hero. Kara always keeps her safe and shows her love. Not to mention the Clois parallels. But instead of pairing two characters who are constantly showing each other love and support, instead Kara is put with an emotionally abusive asshole and when he leaves she is emotionally detached thinking only Supergirl is good and Kara is weak  and Kara just constantly doubts herself and is unhappy. Lena is paired with James. James is a good character, but he constantly never believed or trusted Lena,  literally accused her of murder and did nothing but belittle her prior to this episode. I honestly feel like I never should have bothered with season 3 after that comic con nonsense where we were mocked for even wanting Supercorp to even happen.
