Like,did Prometheus really do his research? Seasons 2, 3, and 4 were full of Oliver saying "no" to killing except for the latter two season finales, because Ra's and Darhk were both committing genocide. So why is murdering people suddenly something he would enjoy after all that?? At the end of season 4 he started killing again and ONLY because Felicity had to convince him it was necessary sometimes.

Heck, back in Season 2, Oliver himself said that if he had killed people, then Slade would not have gotten so far in his plans and killed so many people including maybe even Moira. Honestly, I don't ever recall Oliver ever getting enjoyment out of ending lives ever in the past. Back in season 1, he didn't go murdering everyone he could. He always gave the people on The List a chance to change their ways before he took them down for good. If he was really a killing addict, wouldn't he have straight up murdered them on sight?

If anything, Prometheus is the one who enjoys killing people, and his excuse for doing it is much worse than Oliver's. The people he killed whose named happened to be anagrams of names on The List also had family! Like, the innocent mother who was vacuuming her house when Prometheus appeared and killed her, she obviously had children just like Claybourne did. Oliver should've pointed out that hypocrisy in those 6 days he was chained there. Well Oliver did say that Prometheus was a hypocrite due to killing his own wife. Adrian just responded with a awkward silent exit out of the room and then the episode gave us more flashbacks. I know, that should've been addressed more. And that makes Prometheus a double hypocrite because he's done worse than Oliver AND he has a flimsier excuse for doing so! (Adrian awkwardly slides away) Hahahahaha! At least when someone points out when Slade is a hypocrite, he gets angry and attacks you. Adrian walks away from his problems. Exactly, Prometheus will never top Slade as best villain lol
