The way he says "no one would come" along with the recording just shows he has probably listened to his wife die thousands of times. Barrowman is simply amazing here.
John Barrowman is an incredible actor. I think the actor who played Tommy was actually scared in this scene. Even if it is scripted, it's amazing and quite frightening how Barrowman goes from being completely calm to a fucking lunatic.
he was def. scared by John there and minimum it surprised the hell out of him, the way he jumped is just like when you hear a loud ass noise and it scares you, you can see on his face after the fact that hes almost in awe
Shinigami I would be interested to know if Malcolm shouting like that was in the script because if it wasn’t & John Barrowman decided to shout like that on the spot then it would definitely explain why Colin Donnell (Tommy) got such a fright. Colin is a terrific actor but his jump was definitely real
That's because John Barrowman ad libbed the line. It wasn't in the script. So Colin Donnell who played Tommy wasn't expecting it. It helped to sell how shocked the Tommy character was.
I met John Barrowman and talked to him about this scene. He said during one of the takes he slammed the table harder than he originally intended to which led to a more genuine reaction than expected
John Barrowman made this scene so believable. You could see the psycho gleaming in his eyes. And Tommy got so startled, It's almost like he didn't know Malcolm was supposed to yell in that scene.
The fact that Tommy gets scared as hell made this scene so much more powerfull, he realised that malcom was in a way a monster. On of my top three moments in arrow.
in a way i am on the same side as malcolm because i think he wanted justice for his wife but saying that there are many more ways to get that apart from levelling the glades
For a little while then tommy got his fighting spirit back and got the gun Tommy looked dead serious he actually looked like he was gonna pull the trigger I like how he gets scared than serious/angry at his da it was great scene
@@thewholocknetwork3797 he wanted revenge nobody even saved his wife becox she ws doctor helped them n then she is bleeding nobodo did anything that part is better removed
I CAN'T listen to Malcolm's wife's message without tearing up a little bit. I feel for him, he's a psycho, yes, but I understand how his vengeful madness set in
I think a large part was also his ability to exact vengeance as he saw it. If something like this happened to you or me, even if we had some crazy thought like all of the people in that poor district deserving to die, without any ability to act on it, we'd simmer down and go to therapy or something. Malcolm was insanely rich and much more importantly, a former member of the League of Assassins.
And came back in Season 5. Edit: Season 6 was solid, Season 7 was the biggest waste of Potencial in the Series, expect the Prison part, the Conversation-fight when Emiko betrays oliver, and the last minutes of the Finale.
Almost twelve years later & John acting man. When he screams like that and says, they deserve to die, they all do etc. The show came out when I was 15 watched it day 1 and now I will be 28 in the Fall damn time flies
1:18 - 1:28 I would say that this is probably the best piece of acting in the whole show. You can just feel the pain he feels every time he listens to this.
Several years later and I still get goosebumps whenever Malcolm screams. In addition to that, the lighting and the background music made it look like it was genuine anger from the depths of hell.
thats the reason why i think he is a better villain than reverse flash in terms of character. He has a reason and is believable, eobard not, at least they never really explained why he hates the flash so much. And eobard has nothing which makes him sympathic
The Merylns in Arrow make me think of the Osborns from Spider-Man. Malcolm is the archenemy of Oliver (who doesn't know at first that he's a costumed villain), he's the father of his best friend (Tommy), he's a wealthy businessman and CEO of his own company, he has a secret room where he keeps his costume and weapons, he also has an dark, apathetic and cold hearted nature like Norman. Tommy has several similarities to Harry Osborn. He's Oliver's best friend, he grew up without his mother, he dated Laurel (like how Harry dated MJ), he has a hidden jealously for Oliver (like how Harry envies Peter), and (like Harry) was brought up by wealth and had several rich kid traits.
Yeah, except Malcolm doesn't have a dual personality which is what Norman had after testing the serum on himself which made him stronger but turned him insane and created another personality called "The Green Goblin".
@@xcaliber4141 He sort of half won since he destroyed half the Glades. But he also killed his son in the process and the cops found out about his connection to the Undertaking due to Moira's confession so he lost his businesses and became a fugitive, which makes it seem like less of a win.
Malcolm Merlyn is suuuuchh a great character. Super complex, especially in the later seasons. Lots of powerful moments too like this one, that acting at the end, Jesus, world class.
Season 1 finale is the greatest episode of the whole show tbh. Never get tired of rewatching it and its still as intense as the first time (one of the few episodes where It was flawless from start to finish).
Man there is just so much conviction behind Malcolm when he saids those lines give this man an Oscar being able to go from charismatic to that savage psychopath
I know he is a lunatic but i have a hard time not feeling for Malcolm. He is right about one thing. What kind of heartless monster, sees a women lying on the pavement, bleeding out, crying for help.....and does nothing? Not even bothering to call 999 from their window?
Awesome super awesome act. John Barrowman is a natural. He just blends into the role so well. Seeing this scene makes me so emotional and makes me side with Merlyn very spontaneously. The reason given by amalcom for what whatever he is about to do next so understandable and somewhat justifiable. The amount of pain that he has been living with possibly by reliving that tragic night every day is unimaginable. Even after training with the league yrs ago which is supposed to make him absolutely repurposed, some pains are permanant.
I think 98% of the people who watched this show thought that was going to happen including me. But now I think they are going to go that route with Thea.
bigfatcarp93 I wasn't shocked, between Thea and Tommy, Thea is in a more vulnerable state. I just hope the writers don't have her as a villain in season 3 and save that arc for season 4.
A powerful good villain always have a reason to commit evil acts for the "greater good." I always wondered if Malcolm was trained by the League of Shadows.
I feel so bad for Tommy.... His friends and family kept dark secrets from him. Betrayed him. The man thought he was a part of thier lives.... But he really wasn't.
" he wasnt always like this" that was tommys words. Yet to be the merlyns, the queens, and everyone else involved, they were not like them they just wanted to help but each one lost their way.
This is one of the best scenes in arrow the fact that barrowman decided to go from soft spoken to just complete rage and yelling out of nowhere and the actor tommy didn't know that was going to happen is what made this perfect. 2nd best scene of arrow deathstroke after tonight this city will be known for one thing graves
When love is gone hate wants to fill the vacuum. You can't be someone who is only saved or redeemed because of love only to have your angel of mercy ripped from you by creatures who are irredeemable.
TheGunmode3 yeah I get that as well, because you know how Peter and Harry were in a love triangle with Mary Jane, it draws similarities to how Oliver and Tommy were in a love triangle with Laurel. What's important to know is that Tommy and Harry play that main characters best pal, but deep down they're jealous of them because they get the girl and they don't therefore end up becoming evil.
Xehanort10 yep just throw in the arrogant, self righteous and condescending bitch known as Lana and you got yourself another love triangle to. I just realize in all these love triangles they go out their way to make the woman unlikable
I'm absolutely speechless at how fantastic this show (and Malcolm) were in their early days. The comparison in quality between a scene like this and just about anything from the odious and excruciating 23-hour display of lackadaisical writing masquerading as a fourth season is so fucking glaring that I'm simply out of ways to describe just how profoundly this series fell off the precipice. To think a character this driven, this terrifying, has been reduced to a bumbling jackass and obsequious lackey for a multitude of subpar villains is beyond sickening. The story of this series' quality is a fucking Shakespearean tragedy, I'm telling you.
Season 3 wasn't that bad. It's way better than season 4. Yeah, 3's fights were shit but at least the story was bearable. You can't watch season 4 without cringing at least once per episode.
From what I've seen of him in real life he's the practical joker type so it shows how good of an actor he is that he can turn serious and play a character as evil as Malcolm.
Xehanort10 I honestly was so surprised when I realized he was Captain Jack from Doctor Who. I mean, Malcolm looks and acts _nothing_ like Jack and it's almost scary how different they are. And man, Barrowman can be _intimidating_
I wish Tommy was still around. Malcolm was a brilliant villain, and season 1 holds a special place in my heart. But it's sad that it came at the cost of Tommy
You’ve got to admit that he’s not entirely wrong in some aspects. If people just walk past a woman bleeding out on the ground when she opened a clinic to help them, they’re just as bad (if not worse) than the gunman. If you shoot the woman who is there to help, you’re a horrid person. So in one aspect, they do have it coming.. death, I mean.
There have been 3 moments in Arrow/Flash/Legends/Supergirl where an actor just gave me goosebumps from sheer talent and delivery... 1. Malcolm Merlyn (this scene) 2. Reverse Flash Season1(Tom Cav.) when he "kills" Cisco and 3. Reverse Flash Season3 (Matt Letscher) When hes locked up during Flash Point.
When ever this sceen cames up while im scrolling, i never turn it of. Best sceen in all of arrow seasons. And i know if i was a milionere and my love would die like his wife did. I would became a villian, just like Malcolm did.
And then after season 2 he became worse but still tolerable with his season 3 arc. And then came season 4 and they forgot all his motivations. And then for some reason he went on LoT and the writers there probably hadn't even seen season 1 of arrow. And then he died. A saddening loss of one of my favourite arrowverse characters. Probably my #1 favourite tbh
I love it and put me Malcolm he is good love him why this scene helps me to sleep in my dreams and childhood memories of him Malcolm he could be my daddy my king of D.C. legends love Ray he is good love him
This is one of the 3 best scenes in the series so far. Some spoilers below. 1. Oliver and Ra's Al Ghul's fight (S3) 2. The reveal of Slade being alive in present day (S2) 3. This scene.
Malcolm has always been right...i now understand why he is always furious with the city Sterling and its guardian angels like Oliver "that she bled out into the pavements while people passed and did nothing"
How darkness spreads....... Brick probably was mistreated as a kid by his parents... So he kills Rebecca to join a gang. That murder inspired an attack which left 502 people dead. And their grieving families spread that darkness further...
Cant even fault him for this one. She got abandoned by the people she dedicated her life to save and died like a dog all alone on the streets. He's right to hate and want to kill the trash who abandoned his wife.
does anyone know the name of the music track that plays in this scene? I found the first half in "because of me" from the expanded season two soundtrack and the second half with the bells in "you taught me" from the expanded season one soundtrack (albeit in a different key), but I can't find the music that plays here AND I REALLY WANT IT BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL
John Barrowman killed it in this role. He is an excellent villain and this is one of my favorite scenes of this show.,
i think he deserves an emmy
He looked too young in the show, the whole time watching it I thought he was supposed to be Tommy's slightly older brother.
Josh Vance barrowman was excellent for this show
Derrick Chow same
Amazing actor
The way he says "no one would come" along with the recording just shows he has probably listened to his wife die thousands of times. Barrowman is simply amazing here.
he's always amazing
And it's funny that he can give such a performance knowing that he made such a sappy music video😂
Bacon Vaper ikr
God that would send anyone over the edge. I really admire his acting and how they made the plan to purge the Glades.
Honestly the reason I really like arrow season 1. Merlin was a good villain and honestly...I was kinda rooting for him after this scene.
John Barrowman is an incredible actor. I think the actor who played Tommy was actually scared in this scene. Even if it is scripted, it's amazing and quite frightening how Barrowman goes from being completely calm to a fucking lunatic.
he was def. scared by John there and minimum it surprised the hell out of him, the way he jumped is just like when you hear a loud ass noise and it scares you, you can see on his face after the fact that hes almost in awe
Shinigami I would be interested to know if Malcolm shouting like that was in the script because if it wasn’t & John Barrowman decided to shout like that on the spot then it would definitely explain why Colin Donnell (Tommy) got such a fright. Colin is a terrific actor but his jump was definitely real
Alex Grant it wasn’t, he as libbed it
OMG the way tommy got scared, it was so real
That's because John Barrowman ad libbed the line. It wasn't in the script. So Colin Donnell who played Tommy wasn't expecting it. It helped to sell how shocked the Tommy character was.
It WAS real
I met John Barrowman and talked to him about this scene. He said during one of the takes he slammed the table harder than he originally intended to which led to a more genuine reaction than expected
For a while then he became strong
Yea Ik Right lol
John Barrowman made this scene so believable. You could see the psycho gleaming in his eyes. And Tommy got so startled, It's almost like he didn't know Malcolm was supposed to yell in that scene.
He didn't. It was off script
The fact that Tommy gets scared as hell made this scene so much more powerfull, he realised that malcom was in a way a monster. On of my top three moments in arrow.

The WhoLock Network of tommy had been the one to die instead of his wife Malcom would have tried to destroy the whole city but only half in the end
he was made into a monster because of punks shot his wife like she was nothing, I honestly dont blame him, ppl handle loss differently.
@@thewholocknetwork3797 he wanted revenge nobody even saved his wife becox she ws doctor helped them n then she is bleeding nobodo did anything that part is better removed
I CAN'T listen to Malcolm's wife's message without tearing up a little bit. I feel for him, he's a psycho, yes, but I understand how his vengeful madness set in
Aj Hampton That expression of sadness bordering to insanity that Malcolm has while listening to his wife's voice always gets me.
Aj Hampton would he do the same if it was tommy the one to die
David Uziel I agree. We need frank castle in this world
He isn't psycho, because a psycho wouldnt have feelings for anybody, but malcom loves his kids
I think a large part was also his ability to exact vengeance as he saw it. If something like this happened to you or me, even if we had some crazy thought like all of the people in that poor district deserving to die, without any ability to act on it, we'd simmer down and go to therapy or something. Malcolm was insanely rich and much more importantly, a former member of the League of Assassins.
this is by far my favorite Malcolm moment
Mine too
Everyone is praising Barrowman for his performance but dont forget, it takes two to tango!
Tommy is the best
i love the way he just snapped at him like dang the best moment is where he just screamed A++++
when he started shouting i was like holy crap he's good
Remember when this show was well written?
I miss that.
It is now...
Yeah that good writing lasted about 2 seasons.
And came back in Season 5.
Edit: Season 6 was solid, Season 7 was the biggest waste of Potencial in the Series, expect the Prison part, the Conversation-fight when Emiko betrays oliver, and the last minutes of the Finale.
Delicashilous _ for like the first episode. It was shitty after that.
Kyle Boyles Nah, all season was really, really good. Perfect redemption.
If they made a separate series with Malcolm Merlyn kicking ass with Bow and Arrow I wouldn't mind at all!
I believe it's called torchwood, except there's no bow and arrow and he's not called malcolm but Captain Jack. lol.
***** i would defo watch that
+Jon Irenicus They do have a comic. Dark Archer
Perhaps it could be his flashbacks and the missions that Ras Al Ghul sent him on or his training. HIS ISLAND!
HELL YEAH
It's amazing how Malcolm can be so scary and so sympathetic at the same time.

it was
It was

It was
Hight performance of John Barrowman
1:49 great acting. you can just feel his rage.
“YES,THEY DESERVE TO DIE, ALL OF THEM, THE WAY SHE DIED!”

It's amazing. When he listens to the message, the monster that is the dark archer reveals himself.

911
BPAdemo I'm British, 999 is our emergency number.
i know, but Arrow universe is set in the US (supposedly), so they'll be dialing 911 rather than 999.
I know. But when i write these comments i often don't think that far ahead.

Very powerful scene. I felt Malcom’s pain.
I will never understand how the show writers reduced such a multi layered character to absolute nothing in later seasons
I think they didnt know what to do with him

it's a evil world we live in. And I'm not talking about Malcolm. Everything he said is true, people don't want to be saved.
For some reason I get a Norman and Harry Osborn vibe from them
Well it's probably a more common trope but yeah a lot people get that vibe

How is Barrowman so intimidating?
Have you seen him in real life?
Just met him at Comicon yesterday and he is very awsome!
Last Son of Reynholm I met him in Cardiff in a few years back and he acts very feminine in really life.
From what I've seen of him in real life he's the practical joker type so it shows how good of an actor he is that he can turn serious and play a character as evil as Malcolm.
Met him on Comic-Con one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met
Xehanort10 I honestly was so surprised when I realized he was Captain Jack from Doctor Who. I mean, Malcolm looks and acts _nothing_ like Jack and it's almost scary how different they are. And man, Barrowman can be _intimidating_
Barrowman is obviously phenomenal, but don't forget that it takes two to make a fantastic scene.
"Maybe after your Jihad we can grab some stakes." Lmaoooo
It's steaks, you moebert ronathan
Way to go Malcom, Tommy peed his pants ahah
I had to watch find this clip after seeing john at awesome con ❤
Whenever season 3 sucks, I come back to this scene to remind me of how good arrow can get.
AmandaLpz thought i was the only one who thinks season 3 has been a bit crap
I love this scene and Malcolm. I just finished watching this season for my first time.
I agree with Merlin! If you took my everything, then I’ll take everything from them!
I wish Tommy was still around. Malcolm was a brilliant villain, and season 1 holds a special place in my heart. But it's sad that it came at the cost of Tommy
Malcolm was right. The way the people of the glades reacted to the news, rioting, breaking windows, indulging in violence 100% proves his point.
Man I miss this Malcolm.
You’ve got to admit that he’s not entirely wrong in some aspects. If people just walk past a woman bleeding out on the ground when she opened a clinic to help them, they’re just as bad (if not worse) than the gunman. If you shoot the woman who is there to help, you’re a horrid person.
So in one aspect, they do have it coming.. death, I mean.
I can never forget this scene.
Its very powerful.
There have been 3 moments in Arrow/Flash/Legends/Supergirl where an actor just gave me goosebumps from sheer talent and delivery... 1. Malcolm Merlyn (this scene) 2. Reverse Flash Season1(Tom Cav.) when he "kills" Cisco and 3. Reverse Flash Season3 (Matt Letscher) When hes locked up during Flash Point.
1:48 Shocker
I swear i can replay the last 10secs for a good 2-3 mins its just that good
This is a masterclass in humanizing a villain!
Malcom Merlyn....a true badass
Great acting by barrowman
When ever this sceen cames up while im scrolling, i never turn it of. Best sceen in all of arrow seasons. And i know if i was a milionere and my love would die like his wife did. I would became a villian, just like Malcolm did.
What a powerful scene.
He's basically Oliver. Only a darker and smarter version of oliver.
Yep like flash and zoom
I feel like this relates to a lot going on right now. 2020 mood.
And then after season 2 he became worse but still tolerable with his season 3 arc. And then came season 4 and they forgot all his motivations. And then for some reason he went on LoT and the writers there probably hadn't even seen season 1 of arrow. And then he died. A saddening loss of one of my favourite arrowverse characters. Probably my #1 favourite tbh
Love you melcolm!
Barrowman is so amazing here
Best scene in season 1 by far!
So tragic
I love it and put me Malcolm he is good love him why this scene helps me to sleep in my dreams and childhood memories of him Malcolm he could be my daddy my king of D.C. legends love Ray he is good love him
This is one of the 3 best scenes in the series so far. Some spoilers below.
1. Oliver and Ra's Al Ghul's fight (S3)
2. The reveal of Slade being alive in present day (S2)
3. This scene.
Same here
I understand why Malcom turn evil. Honestly if I were in his position I would've done the exact same thing. With zero concious or remorse
I really wanna fucking cry ! fucking hell the pure awesomness that it was to the stinky shit it has become
Jeebus!! Now THIS IS ACTING!!!
I honestly don’t see him as a monster. He’s just a guy in pain
Malcolm has always been right...i now understand why he is always furious with the city Sterling and its guardian angels like Oliver "that she bled out into the pavements while people passed and did nothing"
Malcolm is the DC Norman and Tommy is the DC Harry Osborn
Malcolm snapped badly and that kinda scared the shit outta me
How darkness spreads.......
Brick probably was mistreated as a kid by his parents...
So he kills Rebecca to join a gang.
That murder inspired an attack which left 502 people dead.
And their grieving families spread that darkness further...
I agree with Malcom they walked past as she was bleeding out so take everything from them that they took from him
Cant even fault him for this one.
She got abandoned by the people she dedicated her life to save and died like a dog all alone on the streets.
He's right to hate and want to kill the trash who abandoned his wife.
Malcom Merlyn was best actor on actor on CW superhero universe by far
00:21 Wait till you see season 4 then, kid
