The way your analogy breaks down is that arrows don't have free will or agency. I do shoot them for a hobby and while they've got a habit of not going where you want them to, I'd never accuse an arrow of being sulky or over eager or gullible.
Let's see what happens if we apply the same argument to other works of fiction.
Frodo is not a hero because he was sent by Gandalf.
Luke is not a hero because he was sent by Obi-Wan.
Nope - not getting this argument at all.
