Well it is like One Piece, the manga started off with Luffy's back story with Shanks and it made me love Luffy and Shanks. With the anime they started a story in front of that one and we got the back story later. If I had watched the anime before I read the manga I would have been bored by Luffy, he wouldn't have seemed as nice and sweet.
I think that is similar to this. I know the Arrow's back story, I'm not stupid and I might dislike DC stories the majority of the time but I at least pay attention to them and know the origins of most of the main players. I don't CARE about Oliver, I never had a chance to care for Oliver. But the situation he's in I am meant to care about him a little bit. If I don't care what is the point?! The flashbacks does a lot to help that from time to time but I don't believe in any of their relationships or chemistry.
I just think it would have been nicer to have a origins story. For me when the relationships start to matter and start to work it'll be the moment I "get" the series. Two episodes in and it is the difference between this and Gotham. I love the relationships in Gotham, I love the characters. This I'm struggling to care for anyone.
