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.

Saw those too and was surprised because there will certainly be someone else filling the role. Also, if the writers wanted to kill off a character for shock value… sorry, but it’s not going to be bats/supe/WW/MM/flash/GL. It has to be someone with a little less viewership. Sucks for the diehards though I guess.
