When superheroes clash, not even a quiver full of arrows can silence the war of words! As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Amell, famed for his role as Green Arrow on The CW's "Arrow," entered the ring after HBO Max's "Peacemaker" took a shot at his iconic character.
The Green Arrow Quip - Cena's Humorous AttackDuring the season one finale of "Peacemaker," the show's protagonist, played by John Cena, humorously attacked Green Arrow by likening him to a My Little Pony character attending brony conventions, adding, "goes to brony conventions dressed as the back half of Twilight Sparkle with a four-inch-wide butthole drilled in the costume." Quite a zinger from the WWE superstar turned Hollywood A-lister!
The Archer's Retort - Amell's Wrestling WisdomStephen Amell, now playing a wrestler on Starz's "Heels," didn't let the jab go unanswered. When a Twitter user asked if he had a response, Amell shot back, "Haven’t seen it. Too busy showing Cena what professional wrestling should actually look like on tv." A brilliant, witty rejoinder from the archer, making his mark outside the fictitious Star City.
The Green Arrow is hardly the first superhero to bear the brunt of Cena's sharp humor. Even Aquaman has found himself in the comedic crosshairs of the "Peacemaker" star, who once quipped about the Atlantean's intimate relationships with fish.
Peacemaker's creator, James Gunn, revealed that Jason Momoa (Aquaman) had no issues with the jabs. However, with Amell's spirited retort, the interaction between Cena and Amell has become a Twitter legend, turning the season finale into a spectacle beyond the screen.
