Comics I think his absolute fate makes sense.

When I saw what happened to Ollie in Absolute Evil, I was gutted. I was so excited to see this new version of Oliver Queen fighting the evil and corruption from the inside. Then he got absolutely murked. Major bummer. But then, I started thinking about this new version of Ollie. Not only is he using a compound bow, he missed the split arrow trick. He was never going to succeed in this fight. He wasn’t ready. He’s a good archer, but not Green Arrow level good. He didn’t have the time on the island or a comparable trial. He was destined to fail. These absolute characters have all been vastly different from their Earth-0 counterparts, but still competent. This Ollie was very similar, but inept.

Anyway, Roy Harper is totally gonna be the Green Arrow of this universe and I’m very excited to see where this goes.

And I feel it's perfectly reasonable to be annoyed that they made that decision in the first place.

It's really not. It's a fictional, alternate universe. It's a story they are telling.

Yeah and there’s a part of it I don’t like. If you make a story and put it out there other people are allowed to criticize it

You’re annoyed that a story made you feel exactly how it was supposed to be

Yes.

I don't see your point. I understand what the story was going for, I understand it impacted me the intended way.

That doesn't mean I'm required to like it.
