Malcom Merlyn is simply one of the best characters of Arrow. Not as a villain but as anti-hero. The way he uses irony, his will to protect Thea and the times he joins the team make him a top 5 character in the Arrowverse

[@mando8398]

And his little chats with Darhk wich are like... hilarious.

[@Olichard]

Not top 5 I would say top 15, cause Slade Wilson, Eobard Thawne, Rip Hunter, Ra's Al ghul, Hunter Zolomon, Lex luthor, Damien Dahrk, Mallus, Count Vertigo, Clock King, and that doesn't include the Heroes yet.

[@prateekjethwani1346]

@@Olichard you think that mallus , vertigo and clock king are better than Malcolm . only Ra.'s al ghul is better villain than he is and Slade wilson is his equal . how could you forget Leonard Snart(Captain Cold)

[@eo-fikretalp1221]

Nahh, Malcolm Merlyn is better as a villian even though he is decent as an anti-hero. In the first season his motivation, determination and charisma is just awesome, he thinks of himself as the hero and does what he does for his family and for the greater good (at least that's what he thinks). As anti-hero he either does something for Thea or his personal benefit.

[@HENNY_22]

Amen

[@pixelwarrior6440]

2:13 gives me a Christmas vibe, but it also sounds very sad and emotional, I remember this part playing when Tommy found out Malcolm was the Dark Archer

[@Shamoneee]

wrong, its the part where tommy declines malcolm his invitation in a hallway. But it sounds similair

[@pixelwarrior6440]

@@Shamoneee it plays in multiple scenes. I’m specifically thinking of the season finale, around the scene where merlyn famously says “YES, THEY DESERVE TO DIE!” It plays around then and it fits perfectly.

[@Shamoneee]

@@pixelwarrior6440 It isnt the same. The one in the season finale has much deeper notes than this here. But yeah its pretty similair otherwise

[@pixelninja3879]

@@pixelwarrior6440 I'm gonna have to agree with Sunny | Shine here, it clearly has much deeper notes and could honestly be considered a different song not sure what you were thinking.

[@thecrazy9169]

Villains from Arrow and Flash are always special. They train their opponents, be a part of them, bring them to their equal strength and then confront. Just like reverse flash and Malcolm.

[@JulianRodriguez-sn6nr]

@7:49 best part of the soundtrack. The reveal of the Dark Archer !!!

[@excellence0722]

he's such a cool villain.

[@cas2914]

Ahhh the good old days of Arrow. Back when Dark Archer was actually scary. After Season 2, every I saw Dark Archer, I was just like "Oh it's Malcolm Merlyn under a mask and hood."

[@swplagueis]

But they revealed him in his first episode

[@JTmaxx]

He never stopped being a good character though. Loved him till the end.

[@pixelwarrior6440]

Are you referring to every episode, because The Dark Archer's first appearance he was revealed as Malcolm Merlyn. And then after that when ever we saw the Dark Archer it was like "YEAH ITS MALCOLM MERLYN!"

[@ignisinfernal1843]

@Hamed Ghaffari Deathstroke could put up a pretty good fight, but he couldn't beat Ra's.

[@ShadowSkills13]

Malcolm Merlin was talented and very capable of ending the Green Arrow on any occasion... however in his heart he was always a father figure, trying to protect those he loved. The lesson is how we choose to do that... How do we truly find the right way to protect our family, our community or nation... On each level things change and Arrow learned of it all and what could truly happen on both ends of the spectrum... This was Malcolm's lesson taught by Oliver

[@ReneshRajendran]

also prometheus

[@Shamoneee]

merlyns theme is my favourite, because it doesnt sound badass and dangerous like every other villian theme (that doesnt mean they are bad, they are awesome too!). It sounds like a very broken man who is desperately searching after forgiveness, hope and salvation and is even ready to sacrifice his life and the lifes of all around of him, because he believes he would do one person that he loves a big favor

[@IlianaGuadalupe]

If Arrow had not gotten so bad after its fifth season, I would be crying because of its ending. Sad, just sad what the writers did. There is still a chance to save both Arrow and the Flash which is heading in the same direction, create a timeline, go back in time, FIX something!

[@pixelwarrior6440]

Wyatt Koski most people think season 6 is the worst, and season 7 isn’t all that better, season 4 had a lot of good moments, if you were to rewatch arrow and binge it season 4 isn’t the best but it isn’t as bad as everyone says. Arrow went way downhill after season 5 but season 8 is very promising

[@zipperman6045]

what's the theme playing in legends of tomorrow season 2 when eobard refers to the leigon as partners

[@PerovNigma]

After they trap the Black Flash? I sounds like the title card music for that episode, but with a few more notes at the end. Maybe there'll be a 'Legion of Doom' soundtrack in the Legends Season 2 OST?

Well whenever he comes back cuz he's not dead. He'll probably come back in season 7 and his theme should be played.
