User blog comment:Thegamingknight4272/Tommy's return in season 5/@comment-3221148-20160806100607

I've thought about it myself when I saw Guggenheim's "Not THAT Prometheus" comment. Which I thought was pretty strange, since Prometheus as he is in the comics would fit with Arrow (I think he was even killed by Green Arrow in the comics?).

Making Tommy Merlyn the next Dark Archer would certainly be in line with the comics, for what its worth, but that doesn't seem like Berlantiverse MO to care about comic synergy much.

Now, it wouldn't be a positive change for the character. However, it's certainly something I could see Arrow doing for LE BIG TWIST, same with Laurel's "death".

Whether this is a compliment, or a critique of the show, I'll let you decide.
