10 Most Paused Arrowverse Moments

10. Ra’s Stabs Oliver

Going into the Ra’s vs Oliver fight we knew something was off. It was the ninth episode of season three, but it seemed the hero and villain were having their big encounter.

Given how it’s Ra’s al Ghul and he has a history of resurrection, we anticipated Oliver getting lucky and Ra’s would come after him for revenge. What we did not expect, though, was Oliver to get absolutely wrecked and ultimately stabbed through the chest and to be kicked off a literal mountain.

If you watched Arrow as it came out weekly on The CW, then you had to wait over a month to see what happened next. Arrow has almost always nailed its mid-season finals, and this one was no different.
