Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Deathstroke is and probably always will be the best antagonist Arrow has to offer. The series has established an incredibly rich dynamic between Oliver Queen and Slade Wilson over the years, as they’ve evolved from fellow survivors to brothers-in-arms to bitter enemies to… however you care to describe their current relationship. It’s great to see Season 6 continuing to give that dynamic the attention it deserves. It’s not as if this season has any other compelling villains on tap at the moment.
As with last week’s “Deathstroke Returns,” the Ollie/Slade material in “Promises Kept” far outpaced the scenes set in Star City. Though in truth, Stephen Amell mostly took a backseat this week, literally hiding in the shadows and letting Manu Bennett and Liam Hall do most of the heavy lifting. As usual, Bennett didn’t disappoint. Slade’s fearsome edge has been tempered since his return at the end of Season 5. He’s now less a hardened killer and more an aging soldier coming to terms with the life he could have had and may still be able to achieve. Honestly, Bennett’s Slade Wilson may be my favorite interpretation of the character in any medium, because there’s so much pathos and sadness to this version.
