    "We are in a federal courthouse, and I have the power, to put you down like a dog". That statement, so cold, would make lava stop flowing. It really defines Red in one sentence. It gives gravitas towards what he is. The boss...of all.

      @brettzforeman ปีที่แล้ว +16

      The quote was: "I wonder how many cowards have gone to their graves insisting on their bravery."
      He wasn't accusing Marvin of dying for claiming to be brave, but merely of being misguided in thinking he was. He explicit statement was of the irony of Marvin's claim to bravery, when the buried point was very simply that he would die soon. Together, this made for a cold and humorless mockery, driving into his head that his death would be meaningless and without honor.

      In the very first episode, she said that her coworkers called her MISTER Keen because she was such a hardass. Then she proceeded to be nothing but an emotional mess episode after episode. I stopped watching after the episode where she admitted that she threw away Red's DNA test results sight unseen, because she was too scared to find out the truth. Wish they had killed her off years ago.

    At the end of this, I was still hoping, right to the end that Liz was alive. That, somehow, some way, Raymond knew what was coming, as he almost always did, and prepared for it. I would have like to see this end with Red's empire no longer being necessary to keep her and Agnes safe, and that they were off somewhere, alive, off the radar, maybe even that private island, living life.

  • @theluschmaster
    @theluschmaster ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Marvin just wanted to be the man man instead of being in the sidelines. Unfortunately, it would've been easier if he had just left Red's empire instead and start his own - instead of trying to take over.

    • @Zasaramel
      @Zasaramel ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Marvin's main problem was in his heart he really believed he was just as responsible for the empire's success as Red was. From that standpoint, he would have been justified in the notion that it wasn't just Red's decision to give it away, they would have equal claim to it if that were the case. The empire truly only worked because of Red, no matter how much of it also hinged on Marvin's involvement throughout.
      The pressure alone of being it's public figure head was more than the sum of Marvin's contribution, much less how much of it not only surviving but thriving over those decades was because of how much and how many people not only respected, but feared Red's capability to the point of never challenging it. Marvin could never handle the pressure of being in the light, much less have the courage to do all that was necessary to be what Red made himself into.

    Yes, He's amazing. He always has been. If you wish to find out, watch his early movies, such as Endless Love, Less than Zero, and in particular, two of the best movies ever (partly bc he was in them), 2 Days in The Valley and Bad Influence, which also proves how good an actor Rob Lowe has been since the beginning.
    There may be no better actor. He's in De Niro and Nicholson territory. I would love to have seen him play Philip Marlowe.
