There's literally no reason for Oliver to not be a public superhero. The reason other heroes do that is to protect their family and friends, people like Aunt May, Alfred, and Lois, who can't protect themselves against the extraordinary threats those heroes fight against. But literally every one of Oliver's friends are other superheroes, his sister is a (retired) superhero, the only person in his circle who can't handle themselves in a fight is Felicity, and that's easily resolved by her simply staying full time in the Quiver.
He's got nothing to lose by revealing who he is.
Jacob Russell
He is literally a mass murderer.
Camden Gutierrez
I thought this shit got cancelled?
Austin Turner
Like user said, I dropped it after season one but I remember him fucking killing people, nigga would get arrested for murder
Owen Gray
Also, how much Money does Ollie have to throw around? I don't think he's tony stark level.
Hudson Moore
But the general public doesn't know that. They think Roy was the original Arrow, who died, and the Green Arrow is a completely different guy who was inspired by the Arrow, and is much softer. The only murder he could possibly be charged with would be Darkh's and now Billy Malone. one was a villain he would be pardoned for, the other was him being set up.
Evan Perry
Also it's so they can have a life outside of superheroing and so they can't get sued by every fucker they beat up.
Brody Cooper
The fact that they made him a mass murderer pisses me off so much.
His body count has to be in the thousands right now.
Lincoln Cruz
>They think Roy was the original Arrow, who died, and the Green Arrow is a completely different guy
This is something I don't get about this dumb universe. How can you possibly think the original Arrow was a different guy to the current green Arrow.
After he comes back from being spartan kicked by Ra'as he goes on TV and gives an epin speech about how he's never leaving. The Green Arrow goes on TV and lies that the old hood guy isn't him.
Surely someone out there is smart enough to look at the footage and say, "Hey it's the same bloody person!" Plus Roy is way too short to be the original Hood. Almost everyone can pin him being Arsenal.
Logan Rogers
>I thought this shit got cancelled? You have any idea how low the ratings have to get on a CW show for it to get canned, user?
Liam Peterson
MAYOR OF MURDER
I think you could only call it thousands if you count his failure in stopping the Omega Virus exposure in Hong Kong. Or in not killing Darkh before the nuke hit that town.
If you add up all the direct and indirect kills starting with the island then it's quite likely he's hit triple-digits. At some point in Season 1 Lance mentions there's 26 bodies the Hood has put in the morgue.
Nathaniel Long
I'm counting all the deaths he was responsible for directly before season 1. Especially in Russia. He's even worse than Deadshot with a gun.
Jonathan Collins
>Killed a bunch before becoming The Hood >Killed a bunch while being The Hood >Didn't stop until he started calling himself GA and even then still kills on occasion Ollie cannot out himself as the Green Arrow Hell, last episode they tried to arrest GA for killing a cop He's a mass murderer. Outing himself as the "Savior of Star City" would have him lose his Mayor seat completely. He almost did when that reporter chick dug too deep if it wasn't for Thea, and even then Thea getting the reporter fired basically reinforced her suspicion and confirmed it
Thomas Reed
It's 52 bodies actually. Hypercrisis. His total body count is probably around 100. I wouldn't count the bombs as his fault.
Kayden Jackson
My point was they shouldn't have made him a mass murderer when they started making the show. At worse maybe have him kill 10 people and only completely out of necessity.
Wyatt Adams
He wants the green arrow to be someone else/something else that he can leave behind at some point
Dominic Davis
WHEN'S ROY? I need my flips
Angel Brooks
...
Matthew Cooper
Wasn't he meant to be back for a bit this season, has that happened yet?
Matthew Morgan
Prometheus isn't doing anything wrong.
Xavier Price

Logan Perry
Post Operator Ollie in Russia
Jaxson Scott
Hhhhhh
Ethan King
Remember the "season 4 will be a lighter tone" meme? I know this is season 5 but they couldn't resist going back to season 3 levels of edginess.
Caleb Scott
Roy is Prometheus.
Ian Hall
Hhhhhhlaksj
Cooper Miller
That makes no sense lol.
Zachary Roberts
THAT WOULD BE SOME SHIT
Benjamin Reyes
Wagwan
Justin Martin
League mental conditioning from Talia. Oliver could resist it when Ra's tried it, Roy couldn't when Talia tracked him down.
Jayden Edwards
Hafej
John Cook
Asd
Evan Davis
They've already done one Roy mind controlled stor- oh right CW, you may be right then.
Ryder Hernandez
Did you watch the latest episode?
Elijah Foster
Nah, just trolling.
Leo Morgan
It's one of CW's top 5 highest rated shows. Supernatural has like 12 seasons and gets half as many viewers.
