What does that say about us..

you've read the comics mrID, yea?

is that how it plays out or is that just speculation??

my speculation:
the teenage girl is just a sulky bitch. don't think she's a spy. just the stereotypical moody american teenager that film & tv writers love but really bears little semblance to reality.
she prob stole the gun rick had stashed.
hopefully she uses it to kill carl.
but yea she'll prob fuck him.

deanna is hiding a threat/the truth - that there are

& alexandria is

^ i think this is where maybe neagan comes into it. tho i can see him being one of the exiles too. will just have to wait & see.

You know the drill, guy gets into tight spot & has to concoct crazy plan or sweet talk his way out of it. It's good. Bit over reliant on breaking bad ties atm but seems to have enough about it to stand on its own by seasons end. It's already building nicely.

Fargo S01 > True Det S01

Fargo S02 > True Det S02

there is defo truth in that ^
but one of my problems w/the film is that is all you see of kyle. you only see the heroic stuff. you don't get to see any of the flaws in his character, that are apparently in the book. the film presents such a narrow view of the man that it just doesn't sit right w/me knowing that there's more to the story than what's being shown on screen.

& what is shown on screen isn't up for debate. there's no nuance or grey area's, it's all very black & white. in that sorta regard i didn't find it a very balanced film.

e.g. you mention about him going door to door w/the marines - which is one of the things i found most interesting about the film & thought right there is a moment to properly examine what's going on: what's going on w/his superiors & what's going on in the guy's head to make him want to behave that way??
instead it's all just wrapped up nicely at the start about being the sheepdog/protector. but there must've been more to the guys determination than a couple of conversations w/his father..?? he was obv very driven, but there was no depth to it just a simple explanation at the top & the scenes on tv of the terrorists attacks that convince him to sign up. is that all there is to him? for such a steely guy it didn't seem like enough time was spent on his motivation..
& how is it such a valuable asset was allowed to put himself in that position? that decision never got a look in. but that's a minor plot hole, maybe addressed in the book?? or maybe not even a issue at all??

& i can see how & why the respect & admiration for him comes from.like i say he was clearly an exemplary soldier, there's no debate. but in terms of his make up & what made him that soldier & that person i found the film lacking. & the fact there was another side to his story that isn't touched upon at all.
even when he comes home after the fourth tour & is trying to readjust, that whole period seems to be given a short shift too.

likewise i thought Lone Survivor was a wasted opportunity. great story, rubbish film. yea again there was a lot of the story that just seemed.. vacant. like there was a story to tell but they only skimmed the surface.
& it's the reasons behind the lack of depth in this films that i find worrying. they're only presenting a small part of the stories. american sniper is defo not a warts & all biography, it actually is more of a hero/western type film than a biopic.
