ARROW vs DEATHSTROKE Next Week Closes A Chapter

Next week, the Arrow (Stephen Amell) returns to the island of Lian Yu for some training and preparation for his upcoming rematch with Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable).  However, the latest Arrow promo for the episode shows that Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke has managed to escape his Supermax jail cell and is looking for payback.  However, Arrow's Marc Guggenheim counsels that fans should expect the unexpected in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly.  "It feels like a coda to season two. It’s not just the final battle, but the final interactions between Oliver and Slade that we didn’t have the screen time to do at the end of season 2 because you’re racing to the end of the season. It’s nice to be able to write a little bit of an epilogue for these two characters. It’s not to say it’s the last time we’ll ever see Slade again, but certainly the story of Oliver versus Slade, the revenge for Shado’s death, that’s the kind of stuff this puts a nice capstone on. When we see Slade again, he’ll be in a different headspace. We’ll take his character in a new and different direction.."

Arrow is all-new, next Wednesday at 8PM on The CW.

"but the final interactions between Oliver and Slade"

But why?

"When we see Slade again, he’ll be in a different."

I've read this 5 times. I feel like something's missing.......

Next time we see Slade after this better be in the Teen Titans show fighting kicking the entire team's ass. And yes, keep Manu. He is the BEST

IT wouldn't surprise me if the writers let Deathstroke be defeated by Thea at this point. They been dumbing down all the villains for Laurel character to make her look competent, hell why not do it for Thea.

Just not excited for this episode. Hope I am proven wrong because Manu Bennett character was the best villain and I would argue a top 5 villain of all time in cb tv shows and movies.

Gmoney, it won't happen. MAYBE Thea could get in a lucky/sneaky knockout shot if she and Ollie are fighting Slade together, but she was in a bad way against Chase, so I don't see her having a chance one on one against Deathstroke. What if he's had enough time in the hole to be over the whole Shado thing? Maybe he's actually helping train the two of them or could even be persuaded to help fight Ra's. Imagine an epic fight between the League and Team Arrow with Merlyn and Deathstroke, and maybe even the Suicide Squad. Something like that would be the only way to top last season's finale.

I have two theories.
First one - Shado would turn out to be alive thanks to the Lazarus Pits.
Second - Slade will kill someone close to Ollie and consider them even.

@Faris Slade already killed someone close to Ollie.

Slade killed Ollie's MOTHER! I don't see an alliance growing from that.

What villans have they dumb down for Thea? People complain about them training for five minutes but really Thea has only barely fought 1 person and would have been killed if Roy hadn't been there who preceded to get his own ass kicke, which is the norm Everyone beats Roy. Laural does alight but she's been involved in self defense her whole life.

Faris - 2/12/2015, 7:56 AM
@MarkJulian Yes, he did. But he also said that they would be even when one more person dies - a woman "Ollie loved most".

Slade as not crazy and a mercenary is what I want. I think Slade should help Oliver defeat Rhas then they would be even.

So basically after he gets his final psycho rant off, he'll calm down and become the mercenary with honor we know from the comics.

@ Nomis - It was good for the most part but the villains came of a little campy. I'd really like DC to start doing animated flicks of the Elsworlds stories. Speeding Bullets would make a great one with some design changes to the villains, but the whole line is ripe for the picking. Gotham by Gaslight, Worlds Finest, Thrillkiller, JL: Shogun of Steel, Kingdom Come, and more.

A Jollem - I remember that comic. it wasn't bad at all.

Identity Crisis is one of, if not THE best, stories that DC EVER put out!!! That Superman/Superboy two-issue Elseworlds is one I still have!! Loved that story!!!
