That reads like he still doesn't really approve of the strike but is resigned to the idea that it's happening whether he likes it or not.
He was probably prepared for going to cons to promote Heels, and is irritated that he can't.

I read that all of the guests who were at the convention are mostly talking about their hobbies and childhood or whatever. They can't even talk about stuff they're not in or past projects.

98 percent of the union voted to authorize a strike. The very least he can do is not speak out against his colleagues.


Why would that matter at all?

Unity in any collective bargaining negotiation is super important. You cannot show cracks in your facade when you face down power, or power exploits those cracks to beat you.

Actual Green Arrow yes, diet Batman no.
Yeah the CW version messed with his personality and character quite a bit.

Woe is me. As if all the other members striking aren't making sacrifices. His explanation is so self centered and lame as fuck. How does he not realize that the benefits he's gotten are because of the past strikes that paved the way for his dumbass. Stand in solidarity or shut the fuck up.

I think Amell is making a very poor choice by vocalizing his opposition to the strike, but he's definitely got way more to lose from it than guys like Reeves or Gunn. Those guys have their careers pretty much set in stone at this point, whereas Amell is a tv actor whose career peak was playing a second-tier superhero on a second-tier network. If his current show doesn't work out, then the guy that's only known for bad tv action shows is probably going to have a hard time finding work that isn't bit parts and straight-to-streaming movies.
Yeah, thats probably it

Pretend only seasons 1,2,5 exist

And maybe that one episode of 6 when Chase appears, the finale of season 6, and the jail arc of 7.

Then I'm perfectly fine with the direction they took.

Seasons 1, 2, and 5 were like 1/3 of the show

It's just a stupid thing all around to say. I don't think it's the first dumb thing he has said publicly either.

Sounds like a word those "I don't mind your goals but your actions personally inconvenience me so I don't like it and no I won't offer any alternative ideas." people use.

I have no investment in Arrow, however based off how he adamantly doesn't support striking, it's a disappointing glimpse into his psyche.

But a lot of studios have deals with SAG to give preference to union actors.

Funnily enough, Amell got pissy when Grant canceled doing a podcast with Amell because of all the BLM protests in 2020 and Gustin didnt feel it was right talk about being Flash with everything happening

anyways, coincidentally James Gunn has followed Grant recently at Instagram

Fascinating to see a far younger actor like Xolo Mariduena isnt complaining about the strikes even though Im sure he would have loved to promote Blue Beetle regardless of that does well or not
