Brick was in Young Justice. Apparently he got nerfed a bit in The New 52.

He got screwed by Singer is what happened. A near three ode to Superman 2 is not what anyone wanted...

I thought we'd have none of Oliver in the present day - so seeing him being taken off the mountain kind of surprised me.

IDK why but Laurel's way of swinging that staff bothered me. It just looked... Awkward.
Love this show to death but...
1. Oliver's body would have been completely mangled after a huge drop like that. At least in much worse shape then it was found in.
2. No Lazarus Pit is a bummer. They better have a damn good explanation as to how they were able to bring back Oliver from the dead.
3. Laurel being Black Canary already? Really? A few months of trading and you can become a superhero? I thought there was going to be a huge time jump or something. They couldn't even wait until the season finale? I mean Laura went to doing a little boxing in the gym to having all these superhero moves and abilities and apparently high end tech. Completely stupid unless I'm missing something or it's going to be better explained in the next few episodes. This is "Smallville" Lana Lang quality writing here.
Beyond that, the episode was pretty good and did like to see Roy and Diggle stepping up their game a bit.
A bit weird seeing the actor who plays Brick after having been watch Galavant. lol

The writers said that just because she puts on the outfit it doesn't make her a superhero. She still has a lot of training and learning to go, which is why she's using the canary cry as a clutch. Expect her to get her ass kicked in the upcoming episodes.
Probably intentional. More rage than precision.

That was actually one of my favorite bits from the episode. She put some real weight behind it.
Did everyone forget Laurel kicking ass in early Season 2? Pretty sure she got some solid hits in as early as S1, too.
Being able to throw a solid punch from time to time in a small fight doesn't make you a superhero. lol not even close.

Nothing about her appearance in the costume said she had superhero moves and abilities. The Canary Cry device was Sara's and she took it, along with the staff and whatever else from the Arrow cave. Everything else she was able to do because the Canary Cry device fucked the dudes up first.
The point is that she should be no where ready to join Team Arrow as a masked vigilante with the tiny amount of training she has gotten. I'll wait and see how it developers over the course of the season. I'm merely voicing my concern over this particular story plot. I'm a huge Arrow fan regardless of disagreeing with a decision or two the showrunners may make.

Oh yeah
It looks better in a one piece and fishnets.
not sure what that "lol" is for
2x01 she takes on goons in an impressive fight, and even as early as 1x03 she has some moves
in this fight she hits em with a canary cry and gets a few solid hits in on 2 unsuspecting goons... at this point in the show, how is laurel not capable of that?
everyone runs into shit when they start doing the vigilante thing.... i wouldn't be concerned that the showrunners are making laurel invincible

she's probably been training harder off-camera. they'll likely allude to that in the next few episodes and show some training.
Roy/Felicity or Roy/Laurel? Roy/Laurel seems more likely
She just needs a Rocky montage.

Goddammit they actually did it. I'm excited by an upcoming Laurel centric episode ...

WHy? The sacred grounds were pretty close to Starling City. Ra's traveled to Starling after all and then during his talk with Felicity Oliver clearly stated he's not going to Nanda Parbat for the duel.

how long has roy been training and is he supposed to have some type of background before before joining team arrow outside of doing awesome flips lol? he was just a common thief on the streets right?
seems to get his ass embarrassed often though. just has that mirakuru crutch. assuming that both him and laurel would get beat up by other minor characters like suicide squad, china white, huntress, cupid chick etc.?

The show has been very good in showing the gaps in training between people. Diggle has shitload of experience and yet Oliver can handle him without breaking a sweat. Roy had skills before be started the whole vigilate thing, he got trained for a year by Oliver and yet Cupid still easily took him out.
Laurel will propably never come close to Oliver/Sara/Nyssa level and she's bound to screw up a lot early in her career.

What a disappointment. I don't think they should overuse flips, but maybe 3-4 a season would be a good amount of flips without going overboard.

I believe it's from a previous show she was on called Soldiers of the Apocalypse. Canadian Indie series that was made but never aired or like.. aired but on a small channel or... something.
I believe they were shopping the show around but most of the actors ended up getting picked up in other bigger series before anything came of it. So it's been on hiatus for like.. ever.

Felicity is the Arrow-verse Wild Dog.
I liked the episode, including our black sheep Laurel and our emotional fangirl Felicity. I get why she would quit, she was the only one living a 'fairytale' life. Roy lived in the Glades, his family was messed up, he was a street level criminal and he was bound to go to jail. The Arrow gives him purpose, even if Oliver isn't there. Diggle has been a soldier his entire life, he is used to getting orders and cleaning up criminals. It is the only thing he knows how to do. Felicity joined the team because she wanted Walter freed and then she stayed for Ollie. She wants to do the right thing, but she is crippled by loss of Sara and Ollie. It is why she guilt-trips Ray.
I get the feeling he has some mechanical upgrades on those pants. He can jump from high places and land easily on his feet. It would be kinda nice for team Arrow to get some upgrades like that to be able to match people like The Flash.

I think one of the most interesting pieces of info from this is that
Laurel is actually referred to as the Black Canary in this instead of just the Canary.
So, people question Laurel putting on a custom, taking some hi-tech and hitting two almost incapacitated dudes with a huge metal stick but Roy turned into a super-hero without as much as proper training and no one did even mention it?
Sure internet, sure..*sigh*
And I still don't like Laurel's character that much (liked her much better in season one. She just seems so grumpy and whiny all the time now and I just don't buy it). Comes over as spoiled brat instead of going through hard times and wanting to do the right thing..
Dunno, the end was a bit "anti-climatic". All went really fast and without any proper explanation. They might still do that but still..it's like: Nope - Oh hello!

Ermm..what are you talking about? He's been trained since halfway through S2. And even before that he was far more capable fighter than Laurel in S1-2.
Now, I don't think Laurel did anything unrealistic. She used gadget and finished them off by hand, which was smart.
Well, this show is done. Had a decent run, but all good things end.
And she would still be one of the better Banes, because most media completely forgot about his intellect. Give Felicity a barrel of Mirakuru and she would make a fine, non-southern american ethnic female Bane.
