That would have improved a part of the season immensely. <br /><br />suncore598https://www.blogger.com/profile/06361019904917951002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-9123130159522165212016-05-30T16:52:45.543-04:002016-05-30T16:52:45.543-04:00I'm going to disagree on a few points, and agr...I'm going to disagree on a few points, and agree on a few others.<br /><br />Merlyn - I'd just like to mention that in addition to killing a bunch of people in the Glades, and brainwashing Thea into murder (a couple of times, I think - weren't there some assassins in Nanda Parbat as well), and oh killing Tommy (which he doesn't seem to care about AT ALL), he is also responsible for Robert Queen's death and Oliver's initial shipwreck and ordeal? He could be such a great, great villain, if they didn't forget all the bad stuff he's done.<br /><br />Flashback - why isn't Oliver more like Merlyn in the flashbacks? I mean why isn't he more like one of these end-justifies-the-means psychos? That could be super entertaining in a cheesy action flick kind of way. I so totally hated these flashbacks. Ivo and Slade were great villains because they were horribly friendly and believable - until they weren't. I want the next villain to be a real person villain. I understand in the season of "hope" the villain needs to be about "despair" but I totally agree that Wilson Fisk on Daredevil stands head and shoulders above any villain on Arrow apart from Slade.<br /><br />So, if season five flashbacks are Brava, I want Oliver to try to stamp out crime as mayor, and have to do dubious deals with the mob, and I want the villain to be Knyazev, and I want to see him and Oliver get to be best friends, and I want to see Oliver have to be the "villain" and take him down for the sake of the city.<br /><br />Another thing that would really improve Arrow for me is more of Oliver as a really, really kickass fighter in hand-to-hand combat. I want to be wowed with his physical prowess. It's like a sign that he's a REALLY unusual and special person. I loved that about season 1. I feel that his physical condition should even IMPROVE.
