I do John Barrowman was alive as Malcolm Merlyn in this scene.

[@francescoparisi126]

He always is

[@marlawilcox4298]

Oliver: do you really think that you're honoring tommy's mother by destroying the glades? Malcolm: as surely you believe you're honoring your father with this hood. Me: touche

[@1021132]

I like the the words " you don't know in your heart what your fighting for and I know". So much clarity in those words And at the end fight Oliver will say "Thank you for teaching me what I was fighting for"

[@shaf621]

From a certain perspective you can see how funnily enough Malcolm and Oliver have the same goal but with a different execution. They both want to save the city sure, but look at it from a different perspective Oliver's an optimist whereas Malcolm's a pessimist. Malcolm views Starling City as a failed cause, he could have probably started off like Oliver but realised it was futile- he's meant to be a representation of what Oliver could have been had he become too focused on his objectives as The Hood.

[@geniusfollower]

Gotta love Merlyn's priorities. step 1: capture green arrow. step 2: strip him down to shirtless. step 3: who cares.

[@Aextra101]

He didn’t want to kill Oliver. He still looked at him like a son.

[@sterlingwilliamson1732]

It was part of his plan to fake his death.

[@sterlingwilliamson1732]

If he really didn't want to kill Oliver but didn't want him to escape he'd keep him sedated and better guarded.

Stephen amell has grown into this role so well. So unfortunate that the writers couldn't do grow the series in a positive way with him

[@trueblue6201]

Well given how the show took leaps and bound from a relatively grounded show to crisis on infinite earths, it is hard to maintain a consistancy. Even in the comics good characters have dry spells in terms of quality.

[@Artisan1979]

I am in awe of the upper body strength Stephen displays here. Pulling himself up upside down like that takes a lot of power. He embodies Oliver Queen so well that whoever does take up the role again in a movie setting has a hell of a job ahead of them. He is to green arrow now what Christopher reeve is to superman. He is the standard to which everybody after him Hass to meet and surpass if they can’t. After eight years, he has become synonymous with the role and the character. I truly admire his dedication both physically and mentally to this part and I will miss seeing arrow after its final bow in January. The series was not just the redemption of a city, but the redemption of Oliver queen himself after so many years of darkness.

[@wafflingmean4477]

My two favourite things about this scene: 1. For once (or at least it's rare) there's a very good reason for the villain to spare the hero. Malcolm views Oliver as something like a nephew, and genuinely cares about him. And despite still viewing it as necessary, he seems to regret killing Robert, so the least he can do to make amends is not kill Oliver, if given the choice. 2. Season 5 really re-contextualises this scene. We now know that Oliver was very conflicted. He thought he was fighting for his city and his father's legacy, but in large part he was trying to cope with years of trauma and did this by enacting a killing spree that he genuinely enjoyed. Laurel even called him out in Season 3, saying that he was using adrenaline to hide from the pain of real life.
