To many fan's Manu Bennet's Deathstorke was the definitve Arrow villians who set the bar for CBTV villians and was one of the best parts of the show. Well, these fans will be dissapointed to hear what Bennet thinks of the shows take on the character as he expresses is dissapointment in the writers and his most recent appearance in Season 3.
"I think Deathstroke had a lot of possibilities with Arrow but, I think they took it in the wrong direction" said Bennet
“I think they should have honoured the Marv Wolfman character who was literally unstoppable. I read the DC comic books and thought Deathstroke was so bad arse because they make it that nobody can stop him. He’s not even super-powered, he is just a mercenary."
Bennet then went on to share his opinion about Deathstroke's most recent appearnace in "The Return" and shares an opinion that many fans have about the episode.
“It took the Justice League to defeat him; it took an army to take him on. In Arrow, it took a while for Oliver [Queen/Arrow] to prove his point, but [season three] was just a beating of Slade, adding insult to injury.”
It is currently unclear on whether Manu Bennet's Deathstroke will return to the show again, but judging from Bennet's comments it does not sound likely.
Arrow returns on April 14th on the CW.
