hey this is back when malcolm was actually scary

"I doubt it. You'll be too dead" best quote from Arrow thus far xD

Back when John Barrowman had more lines than "my daughter lives in this city"

Malcolm Merlyn is one of the best TV villains in recent history.

Ah, good times, were Oliver couldn't stand a chance with Malcolm Merlyn, instead of defeating him in barely a minute.

"Thank you... for teaching me what I´m fighting for, but my father taught me how"Oliver is a genius!

Merlyn doesnt get enough credit. Part of that is because they wrote his character pretty terribly in seasons 3 and 4, but in season 1 hes just as good of a villain as Slade and Prometheus.

Malcolm was going to kill Oliver's sister. Think about that, knowing what we know now.

Just imagine how anticlimactic the ending would have been if dig would have just went in shooting as Malcolm was monologuing. “Welcome gentlemen…I’ve been wait….” *dig shoots him immediately*

I love how Malcolm technically won all three of their fights, lol.

Back when Arrow was must watch. The first 2 seasons are incredible.

“So tell me, are you ready to die!? That quote was just so EPIC Does anyone else think Malcom was a way better villain in this season?

This is the Merlyn that I knew and loved, not the new "always helping the good guys for his daughter" one. :P

Who else is watching this after the very disappointing Oliver vs Malcom fight in season 4x13?

Back in the times where the fights were pretty cool. To bad it didn't stay this way

Those good times than will never return.

I'm running through Arrow for the first time. I just finished season 1, and Malcolm was one of the best parts of it. Rarely do I enjoy watching villains as much as I did with this guy.

remember when there was no metahumans or time travel?

You know, they never explained how Malcolm is still alive. I mean he took an arrow right to the heart.

Who's here after the season 8 premiere

This for me is still my favourite fight on arrow.

LOL 2:23 a wild diglett appears Ok joke

When the show was at its peak😭

Who is here from season 8 premiere?

Back when the filming and cinematography of the show was way better than what it is now.

0:52 - How long was Merlyn just standing there lol?

“You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle for Starling City’s future in a fist-fight with you?”

Since Unidac Industries had 5 years to develop the prototype earthquake machine, it’s a lucky coincidence Oliver returned to Starling City around the timeframe considering he doesn’t know about the Undertaking at that point. Imagine if he returned after finding out the Glades have been destroyed.

Of course this is getting recommended after Tommy Vs Oliver 😂😭

S1,2 & 5 GOATED fam💯🔥🔥

Season 1 is still my favorite season. Season 2 was great but Season 3 for the most part was disappointing. I'm sick of the Olicity crap. It's a superhero show not a soap opera.

When he had told Oliver that he would soon be joining his mother and sister in death. To think he meant Thea!!!! His own daughter!!!!

Malcolm Merlyn is one skilled fighter. Slade Wilson looks tougher. Can't wait to see him and Arrow fight.

I don't know if Oliver improved a lot over season 2 or Malcom is just way too badass. I mean, Oliver was able to take down both Nyssa Al Ghul and Al-Owal (Malcom's trainer) in less time and without having to stab himself in the process.

Back when the show was really good. *Sighs*

Back when Malcom could go toe to toe with Oliver. There was no reason to nerf him that much in season 4. Malcom went away and had plenty of spare time to train. I believe after ras training Oliver could beat Malcom. But not that easy.

Damn season 4 is a disgrace and after watching this it's an even bigger disappointment

You're telling me two master archers can't hit a person 10 meters away?

season 1- action, crime season 2- action Sci fi, crime (I added Sci fi cause of mirakuru) season 3- action, fantasy, crime season 4- drama, fantasy, romance wow arrow went down hill

The Arrow shooting at the beginning of the battle is awesome. The Whole battle is amazing.

did he stab himself to get to malcolm's heart? i didn't see that at first, but that's crazy that he was able to avoid his own!

Who else came here after watching arrow handle the new undertaking in s8?

Best episode. Very emotional

Ahh back when diggle actually was relevant on the show.

Still one of the best fights on the show to date! Maybe even the best!

i just watched the season finale.It was awesome, it had me at the edge of my seat.I haven't been soo excited about a series in a long time...

2:18 best takedown ever

Here after Arrow 8x01.

That depends a great deal on the type of metal and the type of wood. Some hard woods are more than capable of taking on metal weapons and coming out on top. If you make a bow out of iron or titanium, it'll be a great doorstop but a terrible bow. One of the main characteristics of metals is that they deform plastically (it retains shape changes). Whatever material a bow's limbs are made of, it has to deform elastically (it stores and releases energy by springing back to its original shape.)

The one thing that I hate about this season is that we didn’t see enough of the Dark Archer. I only remember him being in 3 episodes (9,22,23). THREE. It also didn’t even make sense why he showed up in episode 9. I just wish we saw more of him.

This fight was better than Green Arrow vs Deathstroke. Oliver kicked Slade's ass way too easy if you ask me. Anyway, damn this show is good. I loved Smallville, but this... This is 10 times as awesome. I wonder if we'll be seeing Clark at any point in the show, I don't think so, but that would be so awesome.

Arrow Season main villains Season 1:Dark Archer Defeated by:Oliver Status:Dead(Arrow Season 5 finale) Season 2:Deathstroke Defeated by:Oliver Status:Alive Season 3:Ra Sha’Goul Defeated by:Oliver Status:Dead(Arrow Season 3 Finale,Did return in Legends Season 1 episode 13) Season 4:Damian Danrk Defeated by:Oliver Status:Dead x2(Arrow Season 4 Finale,Legends Season 3 Finale) Season 5:Prometheus Defeated by:Himself Status:Dead(Arrow Season 5 Finale,Did return in Arrow Season 6 episode 16) Season 6:Diaz Defeated by:Black Siren(earth-2) Status:Alive

Back when fight scenes are good

I think it would be awesome if Oliver and Malcolm teamed up, I mean if Ra's al Ghul wants Malcolm dead and for whatever reason tries to kill Oliver, Malcolm should train Oliver in the League of Assassins way which would then allow Oliver to actually be able to kill Malcolm at some later point.

Ahhh yes, back when he was a threat and not a joke.

I finish arrow,and im here for old times :(

Remember when arrow was a good show? I do!

I honestly wonder how good of a fighter Diggle was here, Malcolm knew that he couldn’t take both of them at once so he took Diggle out

Wow. I forgot how easily Merlyn kicked Oliver's ass here. I remembered it being a lot closer. But damn, Oliver didn't stand a chance without that random arrow on the ground. Him and Diggle got owned. And then season 4 happened.

i have been looking for this

this show is just awesome, and now the flash will be introduced and spin off into his own show, SO AWESOME! At first I didn't want them to include this show in the DC Cinematic Universe but now I hope they do. And there's no reason they can't. I wanna see Green Arrow and Flash team up with Bats and Superman in a JL movie.

I remember back when arrow was great

You could actually feel a sense of fear everytime Oliver faced Malcolm. Season 1 was really something else, especially the mystery behind.

Who’s here after the new episode!🔥

Anyone here after season 8 premier?

Back when arrow used to be a good show:(

In my opinion, Malcolm Merlyn had a great reason to become evil, how his wife was murdered and listening to it over and over drove him mad, and he wanted to take revenge on the people who killed her, yes lot of the things he does is cruel and brutal, but you can say he wasn’t born evil.

It's crazy how big the gap got between these two. Malcom was wrecking Oliver and Diggle, and then was pretty much in control of the whole fight Season 1. By the time we get to Season 4, Not only does Oliver whoop Malcom, he completely humiliates him, no difficulty. Like Big Yikes

is it me or Did Malcom get Weaker as the seasons went on? he single handedly took on Diggle and Oliver with Ease

Why do the first seasons of superhero shows have the best villains

0:53 Wowowowow the final boss appears, wanna save the game before the fight?

That Survive... Is so badass

Ahh, the old days, back when everyone called him “The Hood”. And Malcolm was referred to as “The Copycat Archer”. That part of arrow feels so far away now. Man I miss Arrow season one. Tommy still alive, With Thea a bad girl, no sidekicks, just Ollie and Dig, Moira still alive, The once known as ‘Detective’ Lance, Deadshot an actual villain before ARGUS, Oliver attending all those parties, Laurel a Lawyer, good fight scenes, and barely ANYBODY knows Oliver is the once known as ‘The Arrow’. Oliver was always bringing up the funniest excuses for felicity to help him out as well. The moment arrow introduced too many sidekicks really fucked up the show. Season 1 was so cool because it was just Dig and Felicity In Oliver’s crusade. In fact, it was mostly just Dig and Oliver. Back when it was just the two of em was so cool. Roy Harper was alright. Not as good as just Ollie and dig but he played his role well and had a kick ass suit. Laurel was fine being a lawyer. When she became black canary was bad enough. But THEA going all vigilante? That was one step too far over the line. Now we have Mr Terrific, Wild Dog, Artemis, Spartan, Arsenal, Speedy, Black Canary. The show has introduced WAYY to many sidekicks it feels as if Oliver isn’t the centre of the show anymore, but rather a big TEAM of vigilantes is the centre. Holy shit season 4 REALLY messed things up and took Arrow down a road it should never have crossed and left for Legends if Tomorrow instead when it introduced mystical powers and magic. Damian Darhk was the worst villain for arrow, he would have been PERFECT for legends (I know he appeared on legends but I only watch arrow and flash. Besides, Arrow was his main show.) And Oliver running for mayor was a big step backwards as well. And we can’t forget Damian’s plans, (Genesis) to launch nukes on the world and destroy the planet, while they sit in a dome and restart from scratch. Worst plot EVER, especially for a show about a guy who wears a green hood beating up criminals on the streets. This is a bad plot but Arrow is the worst umong the cw shows to pick for this, it’s just not Oliver’s thing. I would prefer that magical powers and mystical shit and global catastrophes be kept in the hands of Supergirl or Legends. I would live with The Flash, but wouldn’t be happy about it. OMG And Oliver not only hitting off with Felicity but all the marriage shit between them, that’s too far. As much as I hate laurel being black canary she’s perfect for Oliver. I liked felicity being with Ray Palmer, they were the perfect match. If I had control over arrow I would slowly work Oliver back into the billionaire playboy from season 1, and very slowly move Oliver’s sidekicks out of the picture over the course of a season, and just leave Oliver, Dig and Felicity. MAYBE one other sidekick, but I would have it Roy Harper. I hate how arrow always introduces new sidekicks, they should just find something and stick with it. Roy Harper was the best sidekick Arrow was actually ever going to get. I would change Green Arrow to be more intimidating and have him targeting people from the list again, just not killing because he’s not a VILLAIN. I would change the villains in the show from mystical guys such as Ras al Ghul and Damian Darhk to cool serious people like Malcolm Merlyn and Prometheus. To be honest, I’m GLAD Tommy died in season 1. Had tommy lived to what arrows become now, he would not fit in. Tommy is just not the right fit for arrow now, I’m glad he got to play his part on the good side of arrow before it started going south at season 3.

1:25 Malcolm: Nope can’t do 2v1

Love this version. Of diggle and oliver kicking Malcolm. Back when diggle could. Keep up in a combat fight with malcolm

"Thank you for teaching me what I'm fighting for.... But my father taught me how".

All this time later and it's still a shock when Oliver IMPALES himself to beat Malcolm.

BEST SHOW EVER

this is the Arrow we deserve! God damn it. Please writers of Arrow get a grip already

Anyone back after Oliver vs Tommy (Earth 2)?

I only watched season 1 and 2 But with season 5 with its likes return finally I am beginning to like it

I wonder in Season 3 they'll introduce the Outsiders; The Arrow clan, Sword clan, Fist clan, Spear clan, Shield clan and Axe clan

The most awesome serie ever!!! :)

who's here after watching Olvier fight against Tommy from Earth 2?

awesome

POOR THEA!!!!!!! THIS IS HER REAL FATHER!!!! DAMM!!!

great season!

MALCOM MERLYN YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY

Merlyn is a beast for surviving that.

Awesome! When will the next episode release? Lol.

Scene 1:46 that's the same clock tower from Smallville which the Green Arrows base was on that show.

Back when diggle vs Malcolm. Was a gud combat love those day when Diggle. And Malcolm. Look like they were. In the same. League. Need. Diggle and oliver to be best fight in season 7 and season 8 to 12

This is when Malcolm was a villain

That necklace that he wears at 0:54 i think that green liquid is from the Lazarus Pit and when Malcolm was near death he quickly drank it and it healed all of his wounds

Most of the fight scenes in this show look too choreographed. It looked like they were waiting for each other to make the next move. First two seasons were great but idk about now.

This fight is a legendary

The green Ninja fought Lord business and then he grabbed a knife and stabbed his neck and he bled out and died.

i wish arrow would slow down with their jump cuts. their action scenes are so awesome but its ruined because its too fast!

Most hilarious thing about the final is when dispite the boyfiend's and father's wish Laurel goes back to her workplace to save some stupid documents. Unbelievable. I almost cried out loud.

Who else came after Oliver vs Tommy?
