Well,

It really seems like Arrow's final enemy in the flashbacks is going to be Slade or Wintergreen and that's where the masked grave comes from. I'm pretty sure that everyone on the Arrow staff realizes now what the low points of last season were, so they could probably talk Manu into coming back if they had the right story. There's too much going on this season on Arrow and Flash to bring Slade back anyway.

After "Daredevil" left "Arrow" in the dust, I could never watch Arrow with the same level of enthusiasm ever again.

But... the one thing that still holds up with Arrow, is Manu Bennett as Deathstroke. I never cared for the comics version, so it was a big surprise on how much I enjoyed Manu Bennett's version who is a freakin awesome foe to watch. I was more invested in Slade Wilson's storyline, than any relationship hurdle that Oliver Queen goes through.

I think he can still be used in a DC/CW series, but I'm not sure if we'll ever see the character again.

Well, there goes Arrow's best villain, shame too...

Season 3? I couldn't even get pass the first five episodes of season 1.

They turned Slade into shit. Even Manu himself said it. They ruined his character last season....

When Arrow has gone downhill so bad, former stars don't wanna come back. They did [frick] Slade up. He deserved better


Manu Bennet to Guggenheim and company:

Really loved the actor, sad they messed up such a great villain.

But I would love for him to play either Wolverine or Taskmaster.

While I'd love for him to be Wolverine, I think that Fox would mess it up so I think he'd be best cast as Taskmaster. At the moment anyway.

Let's just chill when it comes to jumping to conclusions that Manu only hated season three. He had a problem with how he was dealt with in S2 as well.

“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.

“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.”

Clearly it was not just S3. I don't think Manu was even a huge fan of the Shado sub plot either and I could have sworn he actually said this during some comic convention earlier in the year but I can't seem to find that quote, but he obviously didn't like the idea of The Arrow stopping him as well since he even brought up the Justice League.

And where exactly did he even mention Thea by name? What he is even referring to was just how Slade was handled in his episode in S3. Don't mention Thea by name when he didn't even mention her by name. It was the entire episode he was not a fan of. And besides, why would he even bring up Thea's name regardless? I could have defeated a powerless Slade Wilson if I hit him with a log too.

@ComicFan523

I didn't have any major quarrels with S3 as a lot of people did, but I think the reason why it deserves to get any flack is because it didn't feel as "tight" as the previous two seasons. Just look at the whole Ted Grant/Wildcat situation or the Chase/Thea storyline(which could have been scrapped easily and just have League of Assassins members going after Thea, who then is rescued by Ollie, Roy and Malcolm). S2 definitely tied things up neatly as did the first season.

The whole 'Olicity' angle get flack too, but when you're even trying to introduce a love storyline, especially on The CW...you're going to get something that's rather mopey and something that drags on way too much which is why I only watched Supernatural on The CW until Arrow and now Flash came along because the network is basically centered on that. But, I can't help but to stick around just because I love Green Arrow and I've waited for this progression for Ollie to become Green Arrow which is what the writers have always spoken about and now I want S4 to go balls to the wall when it comes to Green Arrow.

Good call on Bullseye, but I personally would like Bullseye to be skinnier than him.

Bullseye should be just a total psycho. Target practice is what he's good at, he shouldn't be muscular.

But I wouldn't mind it if he was cast. He would IMO have to loose some weight though.
