Kevin Smith Wants to Write a SE7EN-Inspired ARROW Story Arc with the Villain Onomatopoeia
Kevin Smith did a great job with his episode of The Flash. Everyone had such a great time working with him on the show that they want him to come back and direct another one next season. Now that he’s got his foot in the door at The CW, maybe the producers will bring him on to help develop an episode of Arrow.
It seems like he would be perfect to take on that series given the fact that at one time in his career he was writing Green Arrow comic books. During an interview with Variety, Smith said he's not interested in directing an episode, but he would love to write a couple involving a story arc with the villain Onomatopoeia. He said:
"I would, though, like to write on Arrow. I would love to jump in for a one or two episode arc just to bring that Onomatopoeia character to life."
For those of you who don’t know, Onomatopoeia is a serial killer who targets superheroes that don’t have powers. A fan of Arrow recently mentioned Smith’s interest to do this to Steven Amell, and the actor responded enthusiastically with:
“This is a fucking awesome idea.”
Smith was then alerted to Amell’s reaction, and Smith replied saying he wants make his story very Seven-ish. Here’s the tweet he sent out.
I wanna do 2 very SEVEN-ish @CW_Arrow ep's w/ #Onomatopoeia! I'd love to get my words in your mouth, @StephenAmell! https://t.co/kOZtOYItbd

I bet if Smith jumped on board Arrow, he could make the series great again. What do you think of his idea for an Arrow story arc?
