Hemanth khureshi Team members will be dead. Or the entire thing because cheap and worthless. They will be death. Even the showrunners have confirmed their would be deaths and that Season 6 would severe as a soft reboot.
Darth Kal-El, dont be too surprisd if none of team arrow dies (even malcolm) wouldnt be surprised if the only death is olivers baby mama but im willing to bet none of team arrow died, slade either some how got them all to the bunker or somewhere safe. then in season 6 slade joins team arrow with tahlia as the big bad as she still wants revenge for ollie killing her dad and her protege. ollie and slade find his son, slade and son bond and train together maybe even with ollie then somewhere along the lines maybe towards the end of season 6 maybe start of season 7 slade gets killed (most likely not from ollie but tahlia) and cause ollie didn't save him slades son takes over as deathstroke then comes after ollie with a vengance setting him up to be season 7s big bad (thats if they get a season 7, but they should be able to thow). then in season 7 new deathstroke kills every1 in team arrow, disarms ollie then boom we are caught up to where they left off in season 1 episode 6 of legends of tomorrow. I'm not saying this is gonna happen for sure but if I was a writer for arrow that's what I'd do ☺
OMFG is the best way to react to this finale it was insane and awesome. I want season 6 right fucking now. Also, R.I.P to the greatest villain of all time Prometheus.
so prometheus may be the best villain in Arrow, but who was the best flashback villain? Fyers/Dr. Ivo/General Shrieve/Reiter or Kovar? I say its between Fyers and Ivo
I need to say how amazing Stephen Amell's performance was!!!! Excellent portrayal of Oliver's worry and desperation to save his son, then the emotion in his voice when Oliver finally gets to talk with Moira again, his fear before Prometheus shot himself and then his shock at Lian Yu at the end but keeping it together for the sake of his son... That man deserves all the awards! 🏆 🏆 Seriously how can they end it like that?! 😱 I need Season 6 right now!!! 😩
It's a shame that Prometheus had to go but even in death he was working his game. He even killed himself like Oliver's dad did just for that extra level of trauma! Props to Josh Segarra! Great finale, great season, great villain.
Just because they confirmed all these characters to be coming back next season doesn't mean they will, they might have done that just so you think they're safe.
I haven't seen anyone point out that Slade steps back when Oliver first takes out his helmet. And Chase's muzzle flash reflected in Oliver's eyes was the best. I wonder if it was a practical effect done with a camera flash or was CGI.
We need season 6 right now. We can't wait till October, that cliffhanger was way way too intense. RIP, Malcolm Merlyn, you're such a great character, you'll be missed
Don't care what anyone says this season have been amazing. Seriously Adrian Chase is giving Slade Wilson a run for his money on the best Arrow villain. Everything was so Psychological with him. Like he always knew that he wouldn't be able to win from Oliver in a straight up fight so he had to mess with his mind. Just the thought that he didn't care if he lived or died simply to prove a point to Oliver. Also i was a bit thrown off by that little Deathstroke redemption plot. Him making amends for the things he's done kind of takes the villain side out of him which in turn makes him less viable for future appearances unless they go full on Anti-Hero with Slade. Also i don't think anyone important died in that explosion its just meant to make Oliver thing everybody died. The only people who i think are mostly likely really dead are Malcolm , Captain Boomerang and a whole lot of League of Assassins goons. All in all i loved this episode and can't wait for season 6. But I'll admit this season and Adrian chase are going to be hard to improve upon.
yo the way deathstroke fights is calm but ruthless please show up more next season as for the finale it was fantastic i easily rate it above flash and the other show's finales a lot of great fighting scenes, moments, great acting and perfect action (also the phone call with his mom hurt a lot) cliff hanger is very interesting they wouldnt make it a cliffhanger if they didnt have a plan for next season that involves the explosion also finally a season finale where its primarily focused on the main character when it comes to the climax. i love flash but in every season finale of the flash someone else is always saving the day and stopping the big bad (eddie, time wraiths, iris) #ArrowIsGreatAgain
So the only thing I'm questioning is going back and having rewatched the ending, Chase was really slow in pulling out his gun. I feel like Oliver kind of sat there watching him do it and could have done something to knock the gun out of his hand. He's done things like that before with the Dodger and tonight he knocked down one of Talia's arrows. I don't know I'm probably overanalyzing it.
Slade won't be killed off since the last time they pulled that stunt Manu was so FUCKING PISSED OFF. So i doubt he would have come back if he was just going to die again
+Chandler Rerie No what pissed Manu off was that he was a Seasonal Big Bad and was handed his ass on a platter by Thea who doesn't have no where near the level of experience and fighting skills compared to both Deathstroke and Oliver but she was able to beat him down like it was nothing THAT is what pissed Manu off and a lot of fans.
how was flash better? i hate that bias shit give respect where it's do. everyone quick to say season 4 sucked but season 5was so good u flash fans oh it's ok get that shit out of here!!! this blow all the finale s out the park by far it wrap up that 5 year gap show many questions still need to be answered And flash gave us well u know it's your show.
the Dark stuff seemed lame and the flashbacks to the island were some weird magic story so over all it was not my most beloved season. That said i remember as it came out then it pissed me off that fans would shit all over it like they did
Chris Becton while arrow season 5 and its finale is easily the best of all CW dc shows.. but I hope flash season 4 will have a come back and have a great plot..since it's confirmed that the season 4 villain is not gonna be a speedster again
Holy shit! That was an amazing finale.Might be the best episode of the whole series and damn Adrian Chase will be remember as one of the greatest Arrow villain. For a moment i thought Slade really betray them and then surprise surprise xD Well i can't wait for months for next season and we knew they all must have some way to be alive.
Ok so I know that Black Siren is going to be a series regular for next season I just wonder in what capacity? If I had to guess I would expect a time skip with the flashbacks consisting of how they survived the island, Black Sirens origin, and just how they got where they are "at the time." It would be a good way for both Arrow and Flash to be in "some sense" on par in terms of the assumed time skip. I mean I can see that happening, can any of you?
sorry to disappoint you but Malcolm is dead. John Barrowman has officially announced that he won't be back in any CW show in the future and that his character was definitely dead.
Another great Arrow reaction!, hope to see you back again next season! And to those of you who didn't turn your backs on Arrow after season 3, OR turn your noses up at Arrow because "The Flash" threw tv-level CGI at you, this (SUPERIOR) finale was your reward for staying loyal and keeping the faith, us real fans knew Arrow would find its way again, and get better, and it did, hope everybody enjoyed.
Malcolm Merlyn is Al Sa-Her, the Magician. So I think it's safe to assume that he can somehow avoid death by landmine, either by a) pulling Cpt. Boomerang onto it and then legging it before shooting Boomerange so that he falls over thus setting off the landmine and the explosion or b) some other thing 'coz he's friggin' Al Sa-Her!
You guys remember that skeleton they walked by in the present day. Pretty sure that is Konstantins body after Oliver killed him and just left him there to rot.
I mean it's vaguely possible that Malcolm could've stepped off and in the spit second before the detonation, flipped Boomerang under him and used him to cover the explosion. But even then Malcolm would be heavily injured or blown up in the ending explosion.
Ayeveraa Who knows maybe it's flashbacks. I'm sure someone didn't survive though Malcom I thought would've pulled a trick; aside from him. I'm sure someone else would have been killed.
Nyssa, Oliver's baby mama, Slade (Doubt they killed him), Artemis could all be dead. Also Flash had HR in the synopsis for S4 of Flash but he died in the finale so you never know what the plan is. Just saying
yeah, no way they kill off all those major characters. I'm willing to bet someone dies, my gut says Slade because his death has the least consequences. Although the Arrowverse and DCEU coexist, they don't like using the same characters at the same time with the exception of the Flash. Suicide Squad ends in Arrow so that they can do the Suicide Squad movie. Deadshot is dead, Amanda Waller is dead, Captain Boomerang is dead, and thanks to Deathstroke coming to the DCEU, Slade will die. My worst fear is Diggle. I wouldn't care if the other characters died as long as Diggle lives
bigballer3ball yeah it could have some impact if Oliver has to raise William now, but we don't really care for those characters. But MG has said he already had a storyline for Felicity and Diggle, and Renee and Dinah got promoted to regulars, and he said he'd never kill off Olivers last family (Thea), and Quentin is not going anywhere.
Ayeveraa yea I think all the main cast will survive. With Nyssa or Baby mama prolly dying. I kinda didn't care for the cliffhanger either but I enjoyed Oliver's journey with Chase in this episode. Amell really brought it. I'm just interested to see how Black Siren survives the explosion.lol
This season finale gave us 2 questions, 1) How in the hell they will do a Black Siren Redemption Arc if she is still being like this? and 2) Who survived and who died? My guesses are that Slade sacrificed himself to the explosions and gave them one thing to tell Joseph that he misses him and loves him. Dinah/Wild Dog are safe because they are now season regulars next year, Quentin won't die because he will try to help Black Siren's redemption arc or maybe his sacrificed for them gets her to realize her mistakes and change? Who knows but Felicity/Diggle/Thea/Wild Dog/Dinah Drake are SAFE But Slade/Nyssa/Digger/Quentin are on the chopping block to die...they can't have Slade back because he's schedule for Shannara Chronicles are much more deep and detailing he can't keep coming back on the show whenever...and Nyssa is on Training Day, Digger can die because he isn't on Flash as his nemesis and Quentin's story is almost completely concluded they are almost running out of things for Paul Blackthorne to do honestly... I love this season finale i think its top notch and they did it very well...there are some issues i have because of certain people and their lack of not knowing the situation and not shutting up but other than that its a solid season finale better than Flash and definitely better than Supergirl's My list Arrow Flash LoT Supergirl
hope i was not the only one who noticed the move oliver and slade set up when he was like "put the gun to his head", that was the first move slade ever taught oliver when they where training to escape the island on the supply plane in season 1. #truearrowfans know ✌👌
I love how NOBODY laid a finger on Deathstroke. He laid waste to anyone who got in front of him. Also, don't worry, Chainsaw, they don't call him "Merlyn the Magician" for nothin'.
Yes, we know mostly everybody is alive. But boy did that shock me. How did they survive? A part of me wants Oliver to think they are dead for at least 1 episode, but either way, I'm very excited for season 6. I think this season is on par with season 2. Well done Arrow.
This episode was fucking amazing! I knew it'd be good but I wasn't expecting this. I did not see that ending coming. What I will say if if season 6 wasn't already confirmed that would have been a hell of a way to make it so. That tease is gonna bug me all break. Easily the best season finale out of all four shows. Definitely worth the buildup.
I can see Rene, Dinah and Curtis surviving and continuing on in present time but the rest (Diggle, Felicity, Laurel, Lance) dying but still being the show in the flash backs which will now coincide with what happened in season 1 (if they choose to go that route).
I think they gave us this cliffhanger simply because they want the fans to have no idea where they're gonna go with the new season. Flash always depicts off the his comics, but with Arrow it's a different matter entirely. One thing is for sure, William is sure to play a big role in his everyday life moving forward and that is exciting because we'll get to see how he copes with fatherhood (whether with or without the team) though I'm confident it's with lol
What my theory is, is that slade took the team into his prison where he was kept... The prison is made by argus therefore it will be bullet proof bomb proof the lot but I believe one of the at least is going to be dead potentially slade
a man trained by the league of assassins, who singlehandedly cleaned an entire city of criminals and mobsters, who can fight unarmed, blindfolded and with an arm tied behind his back, who knows not to slip a quarter of an inch off guard,....... somehow neglects to clear a defeated enemy of any concealed weapons. becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause, plot.
What I think is that diggle didn't survive, because this would be a very very good setup for season 6, and this is why I think this: because if diggle dies, this may send lyla into shock, and she may blame Oliver for his death. If this happens, maybe she will be so broken, that she will unleash prisoners from argus to track Oliver down and eliminate him. OMG THIS WOULD BE SO COOL
I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS ENDING!!!!! I NEED SEASON 6 NOW!!!

Yeah it was the best finale ever I love arrow never lost faith in this show. I bet a bunch of viewers are gonna come back.
the Flash is gone, the LianYu is gone.
Chainsaw Reacts me neither
I don't know anyone who did. I agree give us Season 6 now.
"They have weapons! You have nothing!" Lol
Didn't Chase tale Oliver last episode when he was on the helicopter: "See you in the boat!" He knew how this was gonna end. Always 10 steps ahead
Yes he did when I seen the boat I was like He said he would see him on the boat.
But..the team members will not die obviously..so he didn't win..its like operation success, but patient dead..
Hemanth khureshi Team members will be dead. Or the entire thing because cheap and worthless. They will be death. Even the showrunners have confirmed their would be deaths and that Season 6 would severe as a soft reboot.
Darth Kal-El you know wildog and the black canary signed for season regulars right?
Darth Kal-El, dont be too surprisd if none of team arrow dies (even malcolm) wouldnt be surprised if the only death is olivers baby mama but im willing to bet none of team arrow died, slade either some how got them all to the bunker or somewhere safe. then in season 6 slade joins team arrow with tahlia as the big bad as she still wants revenge for ollie killing her dad and her protege. ollie and slade find his son, slade and son bond and train together maybe even with ollie then somewhere along the lines maybe towards the end of season 6 maybe start of season 7 slade gets killed (most likely not from ollie but tahlia) and cause ollie didn't save him slades son takes over as deathstroke then comes after ollie with a vengance setting him up to be season 7s big bad (thats if they get a season 7, but they should be able to thow). then in season 7 new deathstroke kills every1 in team arrow, disarms ollie then boom we are caught up to where they left off in season 1 episode 6 of legends of tomorrow. I'm not saying this is gonna happen for sure but if I was a writer for arrow that's what I'd do ☺
"The name of the island they found me on was Lian Yu, its mandarin for purgatory." I got chills when I heard that again in this episode.
Arrow just showed the rest of the CW DC shows how to do a Season finale that has an impact (i'm talking to you Flash season 3 finale)
themarine0316 yessss
OMFG is the best way to react to this finale it was insane and awesome. I want season 6 right fucking now. Also, R.I.P to the greatest villain of all time Prometheus.
He's 10 steps ahead in heaven :C
I was so sad when he died, but I am glad he died the way he did. Always fucking Oliver up.
And it was fitting that his final words were basically a fuck you to Oliver
so prometheus may be the best villain in Arrow, but who was the best flashback villain? Fyers/Dr. Ivo/General Shrieve/Reiter or Kovar? I say its between Fyers and Ivo
Fyers had the commanding venom and Billy Wintergreen in his pocket. Ivo was interesting yeah but .. I dont know... he just seemed less threatening.
In my personal opinion this is the best episode of arrow, and chase and deathstroke are tied for best villains.
I need to say how amazing Stephen Amell's performance was!!!! Excellent portrayal of Oliver's worry and desperation to save his son, then the emotion in his voice when Oliver finally gets to talk with Moira again, his fear before Prometheus shot himself and then his shock at Lian Yu at the end but keeping it together for the sake of his son... That man deserves all the awards! 🏆 🏆 Seriously how can they end it like that?! 😱 I need Season 6 right now!!! 😩
Season 5 started as my last straw for Arrow but then it grew into my favorite one yet. I hope 6 and onwards keeps this up
Chandler Rerie same with me I didn't even want to watch it anymore after S4 and then my friend persuaded me to and I was not disappointed
Oh wow I just got it. Remember last episode when Adrian said "see you on the boat" well that's what he meant
Void Kumar no shit
the notorious ok lol
Alec Wigan true. He never lost. He was always ahead. And if someone died from that explosion then he still won
Damn you got this up fast. This was possibly the best episode of the entire show. Arrow really turned it around this year. Can't wait for next year!
TRU?H Gaming I don't waste time lol
Arrow went off in a bang
I'm Joker28 literally.
I'm Joker28 nice
try a "KHABLABABOOOM!"
It's a shame that Prometheus had to go but even in death he was working his game. He even killed himself like Oliver's dad did just for that extra level of trauma! Props to Josh Segarra! Great finale, great season, great villain.
I think they survived by going into the Argus bunker that Slade was kept in.
Also Arrow S5>any other season of Arrow imo
OMG YESSS I almost forgot about the bunker since my heart stopped LMAO!!!!
DNICE0703 all of them couldn't have survived
That's true my moneys on Boomerang, Malcolm, and Talia
If that's the case I bet some didnt survive. Evelyn in that cage for once is an example, maybe Boomerang too
hunter112000 You don't think Chase had a plan for the bunker?
Arrow S5 > Flash S3
Ivan Villanueva not even close arrow was on another level
Ivan Villanueva hhahaha wow bias all the way
mt productions arrow was way better
Julian Nicholson no i know this shit was the best season ever flash was decent at best
Arrow S5 FINALE >SuperGirl S2 Finale > Legends of Tomorrow S2 Finale> Flash S3 Finale
With an ending like this, I need a season 6 RIGHT NOW!!!!
Just because they confirmed all these characters to be coming back next season doesn't mean they will, they might have done that just so you think they're safe.
RIP Malcolm RIP Captain Boomerang RIP Evelyn RIP Talia RIP Nyssa RIP Samantha RIP Felicity RIP John RIP Thea RIP Curtis RIP Rene RIP Dinah RIP Quentin RIP Talia's goons RIP Black Siren RIP Deathstroke RIP Prometheus but most of all... RIP RANDOM ARGUS GUARD WHO CAUGHT THE UNLUCKIEST SHIFT EVER
The guard was in a bunker, so doubt his character died
they are all in the bunker except malcom, he has lazarus pit around his neck
Random Argus guard for season 6 villain
Maciek Ciepły they are doing an original big bad from what I understand. But Anatoli will probably become KGBeast.
yeah he probably didn't die...........thankfully.
I cried so hard when Oliver called his mom and told her he was alive 😭😭😭😭
I haven't seen anyone point out that Slade steps back when Oliver first takes out his helmet. And Chase's muzzle flash reflected in Oliver's eyes was the best. I wonder if it was a practical effect done with a camera flash or was CGI.
Forget CW DC Tv shows, this one set the bar for me as the best superhero tv episode !
We need season 6 right now. We can't wait till October, that cliffhanger was way way too intense. RIP, Malcolm Merlyn, you're such a great character, you'll be missed
Finally, a season finale for Arrow where I actually want to see what happens next. It has been too long.
That ending left me with one question, who survived, and who died?
Mark Williams really lol the main cast is all confirmed to be series regulars again, including Dinah and Renee and E2 Laurel.
Only Samantha, Nyssa, Evelyn, Talia, and Deathstroke could die
Ayeveraa They won't kill Slade.
Evelyn died for sure, i dont think that any of them would of save her before going anywhere
I wouldn't be surprised if they kill off Samantha, then Oliver gets to look after his son.
It was an hell of an episode, amazing
Fun fact, that was the same type of gun that olivers father used to kill himself
Don't care what anyone says this season have been amazing. Seriously Adrian Chase is giving Slade Wilson a run for his money on the best Arrow villain. Everything was so Psychological with him. Like he always knew that he wouldn't be able to win from Oliver in a straight up fight so he had to mess with his mind. Just the thought that he didn't care if he lived or died simply to prove a point to Oliver.
Also i was a bit thrown off by that little Deathstroke redemption plot. Him making amends for the things he's done kind of takes the villain side out of him which in turn makes him less viable for future appearances unless they go full on Anti-Hero with Slade. Also i don't think anyone important died in that explosion its just meant to make Oliver thing everybody died. The only people who i think are mostly likely really dead are Malcolm , Captain Boomerang and a whole lot of League of Assassins goons.
All in all i loved this episode and can't wait for season 6. But I'll admit this season and Adrian chase are going to be hard to improve upon.
"I'll see you on the boat!" - Chase leaving Argus
Now that's how you end a season!!!!
Without Lian Yu, there won't be Green Arrow
There are good cliffhangers and there are bad cliffhangers... this was a damn good cliffhanger
That is how you do a season finale Arrow! Well done
yo the way deathstroke fights is calm but ruthless
please show up more next season
as for the finale it was fantastic i easily rate it above flash and the other show's finales
a lot of great fighting scenes, moments, great acting and perfect action (also the phone call with his mom hurt a lot)
cliff hanger is very interesting they wouldnt make it a cliffhanger if they didnt have a plan for next season that involves the explosion
also finally a season finale where its primarily focused on the main character when it comes to the climax. i love flash but in every season finale of the flash someone else is always saving the day and stopping the big bad (eddie, time wraiths, iris)
#ArrowIsGreatAgain
arrows is my fav show and this is the best episode of the whole show
Also love Slade being back does this mean he will return in season 6
I AM PROMETHEUS hopefully
i feel like he will but he wont be a series regular since he is on another show
If take into consideration that the Slade Actor actually don`t like what they have made with his character, then i doubt, but maybe?
PandaGamer Zone Manu is probably happy now with his character they did justice to it in this episode.
I am going to miss Adrian hopefully they find some way to bring him back.
My favourite detail from this episode was that you can see the flare of Chase's gunshot in Oliver's eyes.
Just because they are confirmed for season 6 doesn't mean they're alive... it just means they might be coming back for flash backs or hallucinations
So the only thing I'm questioning is going back and having rewatched the ending, Chase was really slow in pulling out his gun. I feel like Oliver kind of sat there watching him do it and could have done something to knock the gun out of his hand. He's done things like that before with the Dodger and tonight he knocked down one of Talia's arrows. I don't know I'm probably overanalyzing it.
Stun 04 he just wanted chase to really die by his own hands
This finale.... Fantastic! Love everything about this finale, I totally forgot what happened yesterday.
Slade The Deathstroke Preaching gods words, last night was an abomination
I have to say Arrow has been simply brilliant this season.
Talia is so hot
and Nyssa
lusioN true
Void Kumar whats the actress name?
justin guyton lexa doig
amen
they promised it would be explosive. they were so right!!
Slade won't be killed off since the last time they pulled that stunt Manu was so FUCKING PISSED OFF. So i doubt he would have come back if he was just going to die again
+Chandler Rerie No what pissed Manu off was that he was a Seasonal Big Bad and was handed his ass on a platter by Thea who doesn't have no where near the level of experience and fighting skills compared to both Deathstroke and Oliver but she was able to beat him down like it was nothing THAT is what pissed Manu off and a lot of fans.
honestly i think this brought back badass Arrow
still i thought Flash was better but not by much
how was flash better? i hate that bias shit give respect where it's do. everyone quick to say season 4 sucked but season 5was so good u flash fans oh it's ok get that shit out of here!!! this blow all the finale s out the park by far it wrap up that 5 year gap show many questions still need to be answered And flash gave us well u know it's your show.
I personally like both shows, but for the last seasons of flash and arrow, arrow was better, especially with the finale
the Dark stuff seemed lame and the flashbacks to the island were some weird magic story so over all it was not my most beloved season. That said i remember as it came out then it pissed me off that fans would shit all over it like they did
well for me it came to this season Arrow was kinda weak but Flash was always good so in the end id say Flash was better however it was close
What a difference a year makes.
oh yes i just realized evelyn died because of the explosion!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
RIP Malcom :(
John Barrowman sad he wont be on the CW Shows anymore, so...
What if slade took all of them to the ARGUS underground bunker?
Which was better arrow season finale or the flash finale?
Chris Becton arrow
Chris Becton
while arrow season 5 and its finale is easily the best of all CW dc shows.. but I hope flash season 4 will have a come back and have a great plot..since it's confirmed that the season 4 villain is not gonna be a speedster again
arrow for sure !!
Chase went out with a bang
Holy shit!
That was an amazing finale.Might be the best episode of the whole series and damn Adrian Chase will be remember as one of the greatest Arrow villain.
For a moment i thought Slade really betray them and then surprise surprise xD
Well i can't wait for months for next season and we knew they all must have some way to be alive.
Haha in case you guys didn't know my reaction to episode 22 entitled missing....
Is missing..
0:34 So his reaction to Episode 22 is..............missing.
under_score bruuuhh
that´s a good one pal
Ok so I know that Black Siren is going to be a series regular for next season I just wonder in what capacity?
If I had to guess I would expect a time skip with the flashbacks consisting of how they survived the island, Black Sirens origin, and just how they got where they are "at the time."
It would be a good way for both Arrow and Flash to be in "some sense" on par in terms of the assumed time skip.
I mean I can see that happening, can any of you?
Malcom is a magician. sure he escaped there.
I mean all he had to do was run as soon as he stepped off, and he would only get some of the blast that way
what do you think about Slade getting Oliver's team to his argus bunker ?
sorry to disappoint you but Malcolm is dead. John Barrowman has officially announced that he won't be back in any CW show in the future and that his character was definitely dead.
Manu bennett said on twitter he wouldn't come back for arrow in season 5, after they teased him in the trailers. well there he was :)
At first I thought Malcolm might survive the tripmine, but I don't think he's alive now.
DAMMIT! "You and me kid , like old times" favorite part of the episode!!
Another great Arrow reaction!, hope to see you back again next season! And to those of you who didn't turn your backs on Arrow after season 3, OR turn your noses up at Arrow because "The Flash" threw tv-level CGI at you, this (SUPERIOR) finale was your reward for staying loyal and keeping the faith, us real fans knew Arrow would find its way again, and get better, and it did, hope everybody enjoyed.
Malcolm Merlyn is Al Sa-Her, the Magician. So I think it's safe to assume that he can somehow avoid death by landmine, either by a) pulling Cpt. Boomerang onto it and then legging it before shooting Boomerange so that he falls over thus setting off the landmine and the explosion or b) some other thing 'coz he's friggin' Al Sa-Her!
Honestly Thai was what arrow needed a great season with an awesome finale season 2 is still my fav but season 5 rivals it a lot
You guys remember that skeleton they walked by in the present day. Pretty sure that is Konstantins body after Oliver killed him and just left him there to rot.
I heard of leaving shows on a cliffhanger but thats uncalled for
I mean it's vaguely possible that Malcolm could've stepped off and in the spit second before the detonation, flipped Boomerang under him and used him to cover the explosion. But even then Malcolm would be heavily injured or blown up in the ending explosion.
It's Malcolm. If he isn't shown dying on-screen, never assume he's dead.
LOL, entire island explodes, your reaction "I suppose someone could have died".
Only on Arrow is that the acceptable reaction to that ending.
This is what I think happens. The plane may not fly, but it floats. They push it into the water and got in it.
That was a finale!
Can Barry time travel again I'm fine with flashpoint happening for a 2nd time
I liked the finale but the cliffhanger killed it for me, knowing all the actors who got promoted for next season and the main cast is all coming back.
Ayeveraa Who knows maybe it's flashbacks. I'm sure someone didn't survive though Malcom I thought would've pulled a trick; aside from him. I'm sure someone else would have been killed.
Nyssa, Oliver's baby mama, Slade (Doubt they killed him), Artemis could all be dead. Also Flash had HR in the synopsis for S4 of Flash but he died in the finale so you never know what the plan is. Just saying
yeah, no way they kill off all those major characters. I'm willing to bet someone dies, my gut says Slade because his death has the least consequences. Although the Arrowverse and DCEU coexist, they don't like using the same characters at the same time with the exception of the Flash. Suicide Squad ends in Arrow so that they can do the Suicide Squad movie. Deadshot is dead, Amanda Waller is dead, Captain Boomerang is dead, and thanks to Deathstroke coming to the DCEU, Slade will die. My worst fear is Diggle. I wouldn't care if the other characters died as long as Diggle lives
bigballer3ball yeah it could have some impact if Oliver has to raise William now, but we don't really care for those characters. But MG has said he already had a storyline for Felicity and Diggle, and Renee and Dinah got promoted to regulars, and he said he'd never kill off Olivers last family (Thea), and Quentin is not going anywhere.
Ayeveraa yea I think all the main cast will survive. With Nyssa or Baby mama prolly dying. I kinda didn't care for the cliffhanger either but I enjoyed Oliver's journey with Chase in this episode. Amell really brought it. I'm just interested to see how Black Siren survives the explosion.lol
This season finale gave us 2 questions, 1) How in the hell they will do a Black Siren Redemption Arc if she is still being like this? and 2) Who survived and who died?
My guesses are that Slade sacrificed himself to the explosions and gave them one thing to tell Joseph that he misses him and loves him. Dinah/Wild Dog are safe because they are now season regulars next year, Quentin won't die because he will try to help Black Siren's redemption arc or maybe his sacrificed for them gets her to realize her mistakes and change? Who knows but Felicity/Diggle/Thea/Wild Dog/Dinah Drake are SAFE But Slade/Nyssa/Digger/Quentin are on the chopping block to die...they can't have Slade back because he's schedule for Shannara Chronicles are much more deep and detailing he can't keep coming back on the show whenever...and Nyssa is on Training Day, Digger can die because he isn't on Flash as his nemesis and Quentin's story is almost completely concluded they are almost running out of things for Paul Blackthorne to do honestly...
I love this season finale i think its top notch and they did it very well...there are some issues i have because of certain people and their lack of not knowing the situation and not shutting up but other than that its a solid season finale better than Flash and definitely better than Supergirl's
My list
Arrow
Flash
LoT
Supergirl
I'm going around youtube to see all reactions of the episode ending in that way, this is the best one :D
MAYBE RORY IS GONNA SAVE THEM. COVERS THEM WITH HIS RAGS LOL. WHAT A CLIFFHANGER 😣 CAN'T WAIT FOR S6 ❤
Adrian Chase best Flarrowverse villain
hope i was not the only one who noticed the move oliver and slade set up when he was like "put the gun to his head", that was the first move slade ever taught oliver when they where training to escape the island on the supply plane in season 1. #truearrowfans know ✌👌
I literally forgot to breathe at the end of this episode lol
I love how NOBODY laid a finger on Deathstroke. He laid waste to anyone who got in front of him.
Also, don't worry, Chainsaw, they don't call him "Merlyn the Magician" for nothin'.
the. best. episode. of. arrow. to. date. nothing has topped it.
Guys please help my cw says unable to play video what do I do?
This man is so wholesome
Confirmed: Malcolm is dead. John Barrowman confirmed it himself and he won't be returning next season.
The hypetrain was real this season ✊🏾
now, that's how you do a finale.
*drops mic.
Yes, we know mostly everybody is alive. But boy did that shock me. How did they survive? A part of me wants Oliver to think they are dead for at least 1 episode, but either way, I'm very excited for season 6. I think this season is on par with season 2. Well done Arrow.
This episode was fucking amazing! I knew it'd be good but I wasn't expecting this. I did not see that ending coming. What I will say if if season 6 wasn't already confirmed that would have been a hell of a way to make it so. That tease is gonna bug me all break. Easily the best season finale out of all four shows. Definitely worth the buildup.
They all survived in the bunker where Slade was kept.
I would say this season was almost perfect. The only episodes that stumbled were episodes 10 and 20. Other than that, fantastic season 9/10
Awesome fights, awesome acting, awesome season!
Relax. I think they're all fine.
I can see Rene, Dinah and Curtis surviving and continuing on in present time but the rest (Diggle, Felicity, Laurel, Lance) dying but still being the show in the flash backs which will now coincide with what happened in season 1 (if they choose to go that route).
if you watch closely thea looked down just before she stepped on that landmine
Malcom is the magician, he survive for sure.
the prison on lian yu is also a bunker remember ;)
I think they gave us this cliffhanger simply because they want the fans to have no idea where they're gonna go with the new season. Flash always depicts off the his comics, but with Arrow it's a different matter entirely. One thing is for sure, William is sure to play a big role in his everyday life moving forward and that is exciting because we'll get to see how he copes with fatherhood (whether with or without the team) though I'm confident it's with lol
What my theory is, is that slade took the team into his prison where he was kept... The prison is made by argus therefore it will be bullet proof bomb proof the lot but I believe one of the at least is going to be dead potentially slade
isn't Merlin known as the magician? I think he made it off the island somehow... what do you think?
I was pissed off too
John Barrowman has anounced that he is leaving the Arrowverse for ever wich means Malcolm died in the blast and did not survive :(
a man trained by the league of assassins, who singlehandedly cleaned an entire city of criminals and mobsters, who can fight unarmed, blindfolded and with an arm tied behind his back, who knows not to slip a quarter of an inch off guard,....... somehow neglects to clear a defeated enemy of any concealed weapons.
becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause, plot.
Prometheus got his ass kicked so bad! It was actually kinda funny.
I think if you don't see him actually die the Magician is never really dead
What I think is that diggle didn't survive, because this would be a very very good setup for season 6, and this is why I think this: because if diggle dies, this may send lyla into shock, and she may blame Oliver for his death. If this happens, maybe she will be so broken, that she will unleash prisoners from argus to track Oliver down and eliminate him. OMG THIS WOULD BE SO COOL
tbh this finale was that fucking good I don't give a shit about the cliffhanger but i do need SEASON 6 RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
