The show is notorious for the frequent shirtless scenes of lead star Stephen Amell. The pilot contained an intense and lengthy workout sequence with Amell shirtless that went viral. Such was the Internet buzz created by Amell's superhero physique that the producers added numerous shirtless scenes to nearly every episode of the first season. Creator and showrunner Marc Guggenheim called this strategy "absposition" - dumping huge chunks of exposition on the audience while Amell shows of his abs. Amell's abs also became the focus of all marketing and promotion as he was always featured shirtless on the posters and all promo material, stills and trailers always contained shots of Amell shirtless. While admitting that it required a huge effort for him, Amell said he had no problem in flaunting his physique because it contributed to the show's popularity. He said, "Me being shirtless isn't the only element that's made it successful, but it is certainly part of the total equation and I'd be silly to think that it is not." While at Comic-con 2014 to promote the upcoming season of the show, he famously lifted his shirt to show off his abs to the audience getting thunderous applause from the packed auditorium Hall H. The showrunners have also acknowledged the huge popularity of Amell's shirtless scenes and vowed that the show will feature such scenes throughout its run.
