[Boy Scout]

Oh yeah. Ra's al Ghul is the Big Bad. I completely forgot.

 

[Snow Queen]

Oh yeah. Ra's al Ghul is the Big Bad. I completely forgot.

Wait, he's been in this show?

he been underused so probably why no one remember he is the big threat

 

[Boy Scout]

It's a little hard to believe that we've only seen him twice.

 

[Snow Queen]

It's a little hard to believe that we've only seen him twice.

And the one time he does anything impactful, it gets undercut with "well he barely survived."

yeah it's about him being mysteriously Aloof in his bath robes with the China style saber he loves to carry around when he walk his Halls of where he lives saying how he doesn't care about anything but killing Malcolm. but I'll put that as to katana's husband stalling it'll be too much for people think he flip flop on actively searching for Malcolm with his I do't care attitude of his or mood swings.

Well apparently that, and Oliver/Team Arrow may supposedly taking the fight to Ra's for kidnapping Malcolm, because Oliver wants to still learn from him in order to beat Ra's...even though it's being proven over and over again that Malcolm is nowhere near Ra's level either.

The Logic of Arrow (supposedly) strikes again.

 

[Spider-Ock]

Episode 15 looks.....eh, for lack of a better word. It just feels like the Ra's arc is going nowhere right now.

Here are the eps in which he plays some semblance of a role:

1) The Magician -- Capture Malcolm.....or else!!
2) The Climb -- Surrender Malcolm....or else imma stab you so hard that you'll "barely" survive and return after 2-3 weeks fully healed.
3) Nanda Parbat -- I finally got Malcolm....now what? Kick Ollie's ass again. Why? Ra's Al Ghul *****

 

[Herolee10]

You gotta admit, Ra's loves taking his time to do things on this show. He's known that Thea and Malcolm have been in Starling City all of this time, and yet he's chosen to do nothing about it really (as far as we've seen).

And he's also been aware that Oliver not only survived their duel, but returned to Starling City as well.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Maybe he likes a little game of cat and mouse? Guy has been alive over 70 years, I doubt he is in any rush.

 

[Spider-Ock]

He's like the Avi Arad of the Arrow universe. He just wants one thing: Malcolm (like Avi wants venom all the time). And he sure as hell takes his time to get it.

He's a real lazy villain lol. I think one day he just gets up and decides "Its time. Imma capture Malcolm, which I should have done in the first pace"

True; which is probably why it'd end up being the most awkwardly hilarious scene if he ended up sharing a moment with someone like Barry or Cisco.lol

I always seem to read your posts in that gravely Batman voice in HISHE lol.

I wouldn't be surprised that if other forces weren't at work here (Team Arrow, etc) that by the time Ra's decided to actively do something about Malcolm, it would already be too late as time itself would have claimed Malcolm.


RA'S AL GHUL: Daughter, take me to Starling City. I shall now collect the life that Malcolm Merlyn owes me.

NYSSA: .....

RA'S AL GHUL: Is there a problem my child?

NYSSA: Malcolm is dead.

RA'S AL GHUL: Really? Well that's unfortunate. Is Oliver Queen responsible for that? Speaking of which, I must also meet with him to finish our duel.

NYSSA: I'm afraid Oliver is dead as well.

RA'S AL GHUL: Is that so? Did their fight end with both of them dead?

NYSSA: Father, it's been over 70 years. They both died of natural reasons.

RA'S AL GHUL: 70 Years? Has it been that long?

That's a really plausible view XD.

haha, its so true. Ra's has only appeared once and is in no way a convincing big bad. The writers failed to make the League of Assassins a compelling adversary. Way too much emphasis on the everyday operations of Team Arrow and the expansion of the world via ATOM. The reveal that Thea killed Sara should have come much sooner and Oliver's showdown with Ra's immediately afterward. No meandering around the point. Slade was a cool villain because we got to know him and he was present. Ra's is a mystery that no one particularly cares for that has swords.

Hopefully this last run can convince me otherwise.
