#But nothing beats 'yeah ironman is in the arrow right'

[familyofpaladins]

My sister has been watching Arrow, and will occasionally ask me random questions about characters because, despite never having seen even an episode of it, I have Approximate Knowledge from watching a couple of justice leauge cartoons, and general info from tumblr/other social

Example, a couple weeks ago

Sister: hey abby.

Me: yeah?

Sister: which group of super heroes is it that you watch, DC or Marvel

Me: well it's the marvel movies that I have and watch but i know a little about DC

Sister: so iron man. .... he's dc right?

Me: No. He's marvel

Sister: What about spiderman?

Me: he's also marvel

Sister: *slightly exasperated face* well who is other dc heroes then??

Me: uuh, batman, superman, wonder woman, green lantern, green arrow, uh, the flash, aquaman-

Sister: but not iron man?

Me: no

Sister: well who else is a billionaire who builds a suit

Me: uuuuuhh *me trying to think of who that would be for dc* ...... batman??

Sister: he's got a metal suit.

Me:????

*we both go and look at who she is referring to*

Me: *looking at the suit which doesnt really resemble anything I remeber seeing for a hero* I have no idea who that is

We then try to figure our if he's supposed to be a villian or hero, but I ultimately don't know. I do briefly wonder if he's supposed to be The Atom, but the suit and backstory dont quit match up with what I thought they were supposed to be, but I also dont really know that much about it

A little later

Sister: He's the Atom

Me: Oh! I kinda wondered if maybe it was him

And then today:

Sister, suddenly walking into the run I'm watching tv in: is Scarecrow a the name of a hero?

Me: No.

Sister, with a face that says "dammit": is scarecrow the name of a villain???

Me: .... yeah

Sister: and he wears rags?

Me: yeah I think he wears like, a burlap sack over his face

Sister: and his name is [something I dont remember]?

Me: I have no idea

Sister: well then what good are you

...

Sister: so when does the joker show up?

Me: uh, I have no idea. I dont think he does?? At least in this show

Sister: what about the penguin?! Or batman?!

Me: I dont. I dont think they ever show up

Sister: well why the crap not

Me: I dont know dude.

Me: I mean there's the show Gotham, but that's a young batman before he becomes batman. But it has joker and the penguin

Sister: *disgruntled face*

...

Sister: so it crosses over with the flash, what's the other show you mentioned?

Me: uuuh, oh supergirl

Me: well actually, I know she crosses over quit a bit with flash, idk how much with arrow

Me: also theres the show Legend of Tomorrow that I think also has some crossovers

Sister: *makes a face like "holy crap, that's so many shows I'm not gonna understand what's happening in*

#She asks me questions about this show I've never seen #And then gets mad when I dont know the answer lol #Theres been a few other questions here and there #But nothing beats 'yeah ironman is in the arrow right' #And 'scarecrow is a hero right??' #No dude. No. I'm sorry #The arrow #Green arrow #The flash #Iron man #Scarecrow
