'The Dark Archer' Strikes In New ARROW Season 3, Episode 4 Promo; "The Magician"

Looks cool.

They could have left the Ra's Al Ghul part out.

The Dark Archer? Really? What's next? Is Bane going to break the Arrow's back?

@TheAmericanPatriot

Stop embarrassing yourself, that comment alone says a lot about you actually reading comics..........

@Dingbat

LMAO! I am still trying to wrap my brain around his foolish comment/trolling.

I can't believe the show has Arrow call Merlyn a killer. Has Arrow forgotten that he is a serial killer? Hilarious!

@Mandeth

He was a serial killer, the key word is "was"............ but I get what you are saying.

@ManDeth

The motivation for serial killing is usually based on psychological gratification.
Lol, nice try. but that ain't what the Arrow does. Dude doesn't even kill anymore.

Someone needs to photoshop Stephen Amell with a goatee.

I think it was Ras Al Ghul who killed Sarah

Y'all wanna know who I think killed Sarah?? Of course you do!!

Brace yourselves...

Thea MFing Merlyn!!
(she changed her middle name when she changed her last name)



Thea's training scenes were flashbacks, it's possible. Sarah clearly recognized her killer. Think about it! Sarah is a badass, if she felt in danger at all upon seeing her killer, she would've at least tried to throw down.

Plus, how great a twist will it be when Oliver realizes he's helping Nyssa hunt down Thea. He'll have a change of heart, Nyssa will not. Oliver could kill Nyssa to stop her from killing Thea. This would explain how/why Ra's becomes the main villain. Oliver may be forced to work with Thea and by association, Merlyn. Only question I have is if they're trying to "redeem" Merlyn's character. As it stands now, Ra's knows Merlyn is alive and wants him dead, but Ra's has no substantial reason to oppose Oliver. Especially since Nyssa is working with Oliver.

It has to be someone that knows that Sarah is also the Black Canary..................

"A serial killer is typically defined as a person who murders three or more people over a period of more than 30 days, with a "cooling off" period between each murder, and whose motivation for killing is largely based on psychological gratification.
CHECK!!! Arrow targeted and killed at least 4 persons per month. He
cooled off" 1 week per target. His gratification came from killing Dad's enemies.

Other sources define the term as "a series of two or more murders, committed as separate events, usually, but not always, by one offender acting alone" or, including the vital characteristics, a minimum of at least two murders. Often, a sexual element is involved with the killings, but the FBI states that motives for serial murder include "anger, thrill, financial gain, and attention seeking."
CHECK!!! Oliver dressed up as Robin Hood with a painted face and attention getting techniques.

The murders may have been attempted or completed in a similar fashion and the victims may have had something in common; for example, occupation, race, appearance, sex, or age group.

CHECK and MATE!!!! Oliver preferred to kill with his trademark green Arrows. Each target was a 1 percenter listed in his father's book.

Oliver IS a serial killer in the Ted Kaczynski mold but with a much higher kill count than Kaczynski's 3 kills. Like Kaczynski, Oliver felt 100% justified that his killings were for the better good of the world. Kaczynski exhibited delusional thinking involving being controlled by modern technology. Oliver also exhibited delusional thinking that involved being a vigilante that was simply murdering people for to protect society.

So Kaczynski set out to kill to protect society from technology and Oliver sought to protect society from names on a list and to avenge his father. Both considered themselves to be in the right and therefor above the law.

In Season 2 of Arrow Oliver Queen made a decision to no longer kill. Real life serial killers have also attempted to end their killing ways. Jeffrey Dahmer tried multiple times to stop killing and went years between some murders. Ted Bundy also made attempts to deescalate his pathological urges but like Oliver did in Season 2, he resumed his killing.

Arrow is most definitely a murderer and serial killer despite any attempts he makes to stop killing.

The question is not if Oliver is a serial killer, but when he will kill again.

Shit show.

Can't even make it through a full episode of this emo, pathetic, poorly acted and badly directed shitstorm.

You people are delusional.
