Military service is designed to break down the man, to condition him to horror, to act without remorse, to react in danger without thought of yourself, but for your fellow soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Remorse comes later, after the war is over. The military after WW1 and WW2, Vietnam Korea, Gulf 1991, Iraq 03, Afghanistan 01 to now has aspects that are still identical. The main aspect that has not changed, when you enter the military service, they break you down and indoctrinate you into the cult. It's designed that way, the easy life is to stay there all your life, it's great life, simple, hard, with rewards openly given. Leaving the military is difficult because they don't teach you to be a civilian again. One day, you're just out, and on your own, that hurts the most. Trust me, I'm speaking from my own experience.

I think Tommy’s military service has a lot to do with what he turned into. He became ruthless and jaded yes; but he was also very well trained making him more dangerous to those who had little to no training with blades and firearms. A lot of times service men who leave and go back to the hood use their new found training as a benefit to fighting rival gangs. Also it helps with structuring; a gang member who is a veteran is more likely to follow orders since that’s how he was trained.

I think Tommy's biggest problem was just how many excuses he kept giving himself to be his worst self. Burning bridges, betraying Kimber, goading Alfie, ticking off Sabini nonstop, instigating the police etc... I swear if he hadn't hoarded those guns barely any of the bad stuff that happened later would have happened. Sure he rose to the occasion when the challenge presented, but only ever just barely by the skin of his teeth. His intelligence though is truly something to behold, and the few moments where he is a genuinely decent person are a treasure. The problem with underhanded tactics in a world of cutthroat's is that they will often do it right back to you, but Tommy somehow always seems surprised by this.

He commanded the screen whenever he was one it. I found myself cheering for him as often as I was yelling, "Why are you doing that?" at the screen. Just an amazing show all around.

Tommy Shelby may have been cursed by the sapphire, but he has a different curse that he can't beat. The curse of being a man who understands how everything and everyone around him works, the ability to read people's emotions, their motives, wants and needs, to understand the power structures of society, but the conflict of being a decent human in regards to the place and people he comes from, or turning his back on them to try to win the game and destroy those power structures. The curse of nobody ever being able to understand your thoughts, your emotions, but knowing those of everyone else

I think it could be interesting to make a video about Don Draper from Man Men, who isn't violent like Tony Soprano or Tommy Shelby but is still hugely manipulative to family and coworkers. Edit: Another suggestion just came to mind - MODOK from the recent stop-motion TV show. It's a comedy, but MODOK still acts like a villain at the expense of everyone around him.

@@gigstar3194 yeah but leading? in a biopic no less
@@gigstar3194 " *Leading* a Nolan film." It would seem you missed the operative word of that statement so I figured I'd highlight it for you.
Nolan clearly knows what a great performer he has with Murphy, using him in so many films.
One of the scenes I’ll never forget is when Grace asks Polly what Tommy was like before the war. Polly says, “He used to laugh. A lot.” His military service destroyed who he was.
Fun fact or not so fun fact military combat actually can have that effect back then it was much worse due to the sheer nature of the wars.
@@CajunReaper95also they didn't come home until it was over.
I sometimes forget how harrowing and horror filled WW1 was. vets often came back mentally destroyed
Another one ill never forget when Grace asked him-Do you think im a whore? - We are all whores grace we just sell different parts of ourselves. My stomach sank in on that line
Military service is designed to break down the man, to condition him to horror, to act without remorse, to react in danger without thought of yourself, but for your fellow soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Remorse comes later, after the war is over. The military after WW1 and WW2, Vietnam Korea, Gulf 1991, Iraq 03, Afghanistan 01 to now has aspects that are still identical. The main aspect that has not changed, when you enter the military service, they break you down and indoctrinate you into the cult. It's designed that way, the easy life is to stay there all your life, it's great life, simple, hard, with rewards openly given. Leaving the military is difficult because they don't teach you to be a civilian again. One day, you're just out, and on your own, that hurts the most. Trust me, I'm speaking from my own experience.
One of the things about Cillian Murphy that makes me laugh is that he confessed in an interview that he moved his wife and kids back to Ireland from the UK because he felt that his kids accents were getting "too posh" for him. IDK why, but it just makes me laugh.
He did live in a posh area and primerose hill and the schools clearly reflect that.
@@nadine8764Primorose Hill, just besides Camden Town (the Camden from the series)... He could just have moved few blocks. In Camden no one is posh lol
@@BerysImoveis this is very true, it points out that Cillian wasn't serious, he was making a joke. It's supposed to make you laugh; it would be a ridiculous thing for any sane person to leave anywhere because of their childrens' accents. The OP has serious issues! "IDK why, but it just makes me laugh" - IT"S A JOKE. THAT"S WHY YOU LAUGHED!!! The OP seriously thinks Cillian moved his family to encourage a different accent!?!?! That's mad!!! smh
Well because of the awful history of England's treatment of Ireland. Many Irishman still have a patriotic disdain for the English.
@@81Point2Exactly! It wasn't that his kids were starting to sound "too posh", they were starting to sound "too English". Which, in my opinion anyways, is a perfectly valid reason to move. He just doesn't want his kids to forget who they are -- Irish.
It’s small but I love how you start “Hello everyone” when the character starts talking
The one for David Lynch's Dune is my favorite.
And on the flip side I love how he ends every break down with "evil" before going into his outro Edit: of course the one time I point out his ending he doesn't do it 😅

I actually get a good laugh out of some of them. The Walter white one was obvious and still hilarious

Obviously you folks are muppets
My wife worked in a shop on Grafton Street in Dublin, and Cillian Murphy was a regular customer. He happened to drop in on the last day before she started maternity leave, and he wished her well with the baby, so my daughter is "blessed by Shelby" He's an absolute gentleman on top of being a very gifted actor.

@@thevo4100 Who's 'we'?
Tommy Shelby, Tony Soprano, Jimmy McGill, and Walter White seem to fall under a special category of villain. Their misfortunes are a byproduct of their own egos as well as a shared failure to acknowledge and accept their flaws.
I think that Barry Berkman fits in this category more than Jimmy McGill. Because unlike Barry, Jimmy at least is self aware enough of his flaws but he just couldn’t help himself but Barry fully believes that he is a good person (after already killed his own friend and a cop). Also, Jimmy doesn’t seem like a character with a huge ego.
@@nont18411 I think Saul Goodman is the component of Jimmy capable of producing a massive ego, as we saw with his relentless pursuit and pestering of Howard in Seasons 5 and 6.
@@nont18411 Agreed. Barry is completely deluded.
@@nont18411Jimmy doesn't. Saul does.
I gotta say my favorite character from peaky blinders still is Arthur. Out of the Shelby’s he’s easily the most violent one while also being the one who wants violent the least or rather is ashamed of what he’s doing. That contradiction of him being self aware but lacking control to not be violent instead of tommy who has much self control but decides to be violent to me makes him the most interesting character
“I have no limitations” - Thomas Shelby
My favorite quote he was saying everywhere in season 6 and I loved it
He was a prideful idiot
I think Tommy’s military service has a lot to do with what he turned into. He became ruthless and jaded yes; but he was also very well trained making him more dangerous to those who had little to no training with blades and firearms. A lot of times service men who leave and go back to the hood use their new found training as a benefit to fighting rival gangs. Also it helps with structuring; a gang member who is a veteran is more likely to follow orders since that’s how he was trained.
Exactly a military trained gang member is extremely dangerous and Tommy was that x10 with intelligence alone
@@jon_ovo3653 Tommy is also a natural leader. His personality and combination of talents make it natural to follow his orders lol
@@FirstOfTheMagi exactly it’s why I was so pissed at micheal and Finn damn traitors also … I have no limitations!!!!!! (😈)
I think Polly outright says that he was a completely different person before the war.
@@jackmclean4120She did. The war completely changed his personality. He went from a happy and fairly cheerful person to a brooding and ruthless person.
I think Tommy's biggest problem was just how many excuses he kept giving himself to be his worst self. Burning bridges, betraying Kimber, goading Alfie, ticking off Sabini nonstop, instigating the police etc... I swear if he hadn't hoarded those guns barely any of the bad stuff that happened later would have happened. Sure he rose to the occasion when the challenge presented, but only ever just barely by the skin of his teeth. His intelligence though is truly something to behold, and the few moments where he is a genuinely decent person are a treasure. The problem with underhanded tactics in a world of cutthroat's is that they will often do it right back to you, but Tommy somehow always seems surprised by this.
He would not have been so successful if he didn't take advantage of the guns but it also starts him down the path of being ambitious which indirectly kills his wife and family. If he just knew when to stop he could have had wealth and his family intact
No risk no reward. You’re right though about him stopping early, but it’s also the gamblers dilemma. In theory it sounds good to say stop while you’re ahead, but why stop when you’ve annihilated everyone you met
Yeah I think it's his ego and ambition that make him lean into his more evil tendencies.
He’s learned a lot though and in season 6 you see him at full power steps ahead of everyone and season 5 aswell he was cooking everything it’s just his family fails him alot or mess up his plans
@@whoswho1233 I think there’s a scene in the later seasons that explains how Thomas can not “find peace” and “settle down”. He was never going to stop, it wasn’t in him. In a way, he went into a war and never returned. He has to be at war all the time, there is no returning home.

I thought it was the drugs that caused the hallucinations.
@@philipwhitcomb5358 maaaaan... it was the the drugs, it was the war, it was the ghost of Kimbler, it was the ghost of Changretta. It was a million things that contributed to his breakdown from reality. Poor guy suffered more than anyone should.

Polly I understand the homage, but I found unnecessary Milchael's being an enemy and also his death
@BerysImoveis originally it was supposed to end after season 7 with Micheal being the main villian in 7. It's a shame they had to cut that entire plot line in half would have been so much better
Cillian Murphy once described Tommy Shelby as "a good man who does bad things" so personally I think he's more of a morally ambiguous character more than a full antagonist.
Yeah he just lives in a world that plays by different rules. In relation to everyone else in the underworld he's not evil.
Tommy was one of the most evil characters in the whole show tho
I actually find it really fascinating that people don't find characters like Tommy, Tony Soprano, or Walter White evil upon first watch. I think something about them being the main character keeps people from realizing they are not good people. Great vid!

@@tyrekkbrooks4864 He didn't prevent grown adults from leaving the lifestyle they on their own conscious chose to be under his wing, they aren't babies, also hus calculations are great, u think that whole grace and Billy Kimber situation was bad, that was nothing, she coulda fended for herself which she was literally doing, and tommy came just in time as planned, also pollys death was fins fault, fin told the mole the plan and the mole told the irish, don't blame tommy for that, and shot his corrupted cousin micheal? the same one who chose a random cousin and left his foster mom who raised him, and then slowly picked up their lifestyle just to go to America and simp for some whore who manipluated and cheated on him, polly babied micheal, and micheal also didn't tell tommy when luca chengretta told micheal that he would kill tommy, micheal was a shady snake, and then when tom let him back in the family after the whole america incident, micheal tries taking over, micheal is an idiot and also Literally tried to kill tom, u really let his words before his death twist your brain, i agree on the Arthur bit tho but arther was the older brother and for him to let his Younger brother boss him around is his own issue, anger pills or not, doesn't change the fact he laps on to tommy like a dog, tommy didn't manipulate his family they literally relied on him
I immediately notice it
Yea it’s definitely because they’re the main character because we dont see them as just doing evil stuff, we see them doing regular stuff just like us which humanizes them. I didn’t really realize how bad Walter White was until rewatching Breaking Bad but yea, definitely because they are the main character
He went from lvl 1 thug to lvl 99 mob boss
This show is life changing and makes you question what it means to be a man and a good man. The scene in the field (everyone will know) is one of the best scenes in any movie or TV I’ve ever seen. Genuinely a masterpiece in suspense, acting, cinematography, dialogue. Pure perfection and you’re never the same again when you go on the journey with him after it’s over.
“I almost had FUCKING EVERYTHING!”
YES I RECOGNIZED THE SCENE AS SOON AS U SAID IT, and yea i wanna take the good qualities from tom, not the negative ones but he has alot of positive traits, the ambition, the amazing individual thinking, calculations, comfortable in isolation, family man, loves horses, takes care of himself looks wise, finds good friends and connections, and writes notes
@@IIIISai exactly, a lot of qualities sadly missing from modern men. I think the biggest ones is taking responsibility for your own actions and the environment around you. You can carve your own destiny out like Tommy does. Hopefully without all the murder and manipulation but you can still be the master of your own life even if it’s just taking responsibility for your behaviours and actions without blaming others.
Is anyone else absolutely enamored and fascinated by Murphy's Thomas Shelby? I can't get enough of the character.
Alot of him and his personality is actually based of Billy kimber. As kimber didn't get killed as early as the series shows but in real life went on to take over large territories and play big part in englands organised crime of the early 20th century.
This show definitely has some of my favourite character sketches. Luca Changretta was definitely my favourite antagonist simply due to his charisma lol ✨
Thomas Shelby is one my favourite characters from a recent show. I think his PTSD [and probable brain injury] is what makes him more fixated on ever more ambitious goals. I really wonder how this character would function where he transposed onto a more modern settings. Excellent video analysis as always. Villain Profile Suggestions: 1. Frank Underwood/Francis Urquart (House of Cards) 2. 001 Squid Game) 3. Petyr Baelish (A Song of Ice and Fire) 4. Frank Gallagher (Shameless US) 5. Marty and Wendy Byrde (Ozark) 6. Dudley Smith (L.A Confidential) 7. Lorne Malvo (Fargo) 8. Idi Amin (Last King of Scotland) 9. Kratos (God of War series) 10. Eric Cartman (South Park) 11. Father (Full Metal Alchemist) 12. The Sons of Anarchy Gang
Underwood's analysis would be just great
Chris Partlow from The Wire and Vass from far cry 3 would be also great
thomas believes hes alive by chance, so his only purpose is to complete his ambitions, he doesn't fear death, his fake death on season 2 pushed his ambitions even further
Frank Gallagher😅 I thought He was funny and just sad at first😂😂😂its f'd up rewatching it now coz u understand everything He does
I dont think Idi Amin would work, since he's a real dude
The British Michael Corleone. Great story, and while much of it can be attributed to his environment, few others in that same scenario rose to the heights he did.
Facts
Probably the nearest a character or actor has ever come to Al Pacino as Michael Corleone
@@barry4649 yeah Tommy is my fav, what do you think about walter White?
I definitely agree with this analogy. Like Adrien Brody's character tried to be more like Michael Corleone only more unhinged, but Cillian Murphy really nailed Michael's level of cunning and ambition.
Love him or hate him. He was a man who knew how to get shit done. And the results speak for themselves
It's called plot armour
@@tearem9703 You realize the Peaky Blinders were a genuine mob in the 1890’s right?
@@LordEmperorBoss And you realize that they were wiped off in 1919 by Billy Kimber?
So no plot armor.

KZhead: Viewer discretion adviced. This video may contain subjects such as violence and or suicide Me: that's what I'm here for
This video wasn’t even that bad 💀. Why KZhead?
@@spencerfoote6977 all we can do is like and show engagement through comments
I have been waiting for an video of Raymond Reddington from the Blacklist drama (ideally from season 1 to 6). Charismatic, cunning, strategic, cultured, communicative, compassionate, ruthless, ambitious, single-minded, integral, enthusiastic and depressive. A complex character worthy of analysis.
And I’ve been waiting to hear one on Handsome Jack from Borderlands
Reddington feels like an implausible character since he seems to be all knowing but it's never shown how he knows what he knows or does
I fell in love with Cillian Murphy watching Peaky Blinders 😝😝 He was absolutely superb in this role. The cast, costumes, acting and story is outstanding. Peaky Blinders is in my top-five all-time favorite tv shows-ever!! RIP Helen McCrory 😔 I would love to hear an analysis of Vic Mackey from The Shield and Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy!!!
Vic Mackey would be an excellent choice. I love that series. SoA had an amazing first season and a very solid second season, but really jumped the shark after that.
Tommy wasn’t truly caring for his family, he was possessive. When they all were prepared to move on from that life he sabotaged them. Also, when Arthur finally found a good woman that was changing him, Tommy manipulated him back into being a monster
Cillian plays Thomas Shelby so well I can't imagine another actor playing his role, Peaky Blinders is my favourite series and I can't wait to see the film on the big screen.
You can definitely make a case for Jesse Pinkman. His evil is often overlooked because it’s overshadowed by Walt’s but he is evil all the same. He was already cooking meth before he met Walt, he assisted Walt and enabled him, he killed Gale, got his girlfriends killed indirectly because of the life he was living, etc.
Yeah, Pinkman isn't large scale evil - he doesn't have what it takes to be a ruthless mastermind like Walt - but you could definitely argue he's "small scale evil" - he didn't really care who got hurt until it was a child, enabled the drug habits of people like Jane, and attended the addict anonymous meetings purely to turn them back into meth customers. He was a victim of a great amount of cruelty himself, but I wouldn't say he's a good person
@@RaenRyong agreed. I’d probably place him high C tier low B tier myself. Definitely not A or S tier in my opinion Edit: maybe high B tier possibly low A tier for what he did to Gale that’s pretty hard to forgive despite all of his tragedy.
@@stephenm5937 it's easy to pass moral judgments from an ivory tower
@@SergyMilitaryRankings Bro, most people are not on an ivory tower, they still don't turn people into meth addicts like Jesse. There's a special kind of hell for people that profit out of intentionally ruining people's lives.
Pinkman is a complicated case, I always saw him as a character who is not bad in himself, but who is far from being a good person.
Peaky Blinders is one of my favorite shows and Thomas Shelby is one of the best characters in a TV show. The writing was excellent, but Cillian Murphy's performance was just staggeringly good. He commanded the screen whenever he was one it. I found myself cheering for him as often as I was yelling, "Why are you doing that?" at the screen. Just an amazing show all around.
Cillian Murphy is so underrated. What a phenomenal actor he is. Tommy Shelby is a masterpiece and Peaky blinders is a great show.
Never thought this video would ever be made. So glad it’s out!
I swear to god, Tommy is one of the greatest characters in television
One of my favorite characters ever! Not only is the writing incredible and engaging, but Cillian Murphy is utterly brilliant as Thomas Shelby. Loved this video, Vile
Tommy Shelby may have been cursed by the sapphire, but he has a different curse that he can't beat. The curse of being a man who understands how everything and everyone around him works, the ability to read people's emotions, their motives, wants and needs, to understand the power structures of society, but the conflict of being a decent human in regards to the place and people he comes from, or turning his back on them to try to win the game and destroy those power structures. The curse of nobody ever being able to understand your thoughts, your emotions, but knowing those of everyone else
These videos are brilliant. You did a beautiful dissection of one of my favourite characters of all time. Your analysis was as detailed and complex as the character himself. Thank you for your work.
I hope a patreon requested this by saying “You’ll make a video about Tommy Shelby, by order of the Peaky fookin Blinders”
Me tryna resist watching this cuz I still haven't watched peaky blinders 😩
There’s some pretty cool step dads in it give it a shot
Watch it anyway I knew everything about a certain show ..it was hyped and I'd heard so many reviews and analysis etc ..but watching it was a different experience..even if I knew where it was going, it was still enjoyable
Cillian Murphy is a very versatile actor. Great breakdown. I would love an episode for Franklin Saint from Snowfall.
Love this channel! I’ve often thought to myself that I’ve never seen a tv/movie character with as much strategic genius as Thomas Shelby does. I’m glad you acknowledged that.
One of the most fascinating villains to date, for me personally, has been the Governor from the Walking Dead (the show, not the comics). David Morrissey´s performance was outstanding! Definitely would recommend as an analysis.
Oh the governor was a great one!!!!! You could actually do a couple from twd. Negan, Shane, the governor, you could even analyze Rick
I love this character so much. I don't even care if he is a criminal. He is not evil, he is human. With the capacity for evil and good all the same. Beautiful written character.
Stories where the villian is the primary protagonist are so interesting and very hard to pull off well. Peaky Blinders is a master class in this narrative style
This is character is one of the greatest combinations of brilliant writing, brilliant directing, and of course brilliant acting that I’ve ever seen. It’s a perfect storm of perfection all across the board
We’ve been screaming for this one for a long time! Thank you vile eye!
An excellent character study! Been lookin forward to this character for a long time !
Growing up watching Ed, Edd n Eddy, I loved watching the Shelby brothers working together and getting into trouble🤷♂😅
Ayo I just realised why I love this show so much 😆 🤣
I never really thought of Tommy as an "evil" man, rather a man of his time and place. Suggestions for future consideration. Kingpin from the Daredevil TV series Kilgrave from the Jessica Jones TV series Homelander from The Boys(comic or series) Ozark... Everyone in the show!
This is probably my favourite analysis video you've done. Amazing work!
YES!! I've been waiting for this one, love your work man!!! Here we go, By order of the Peaky Blinders.
Since 28 days later i knew Cilian Murphy would become a great one. I would argue that all of his roles could have been equally good when he had as much screentime to develope them as Thomas Shelby.
should do Analysing Evil: Nate Jacobs (there's definitely a case that he's more a tragic character than anything, but the writing behind the character and what he goes through definitely would be interesting to analyse)
I'll propose a better one : Nate's father. This man destroyed everyone he came in contact with and stunted his son in a way that is more damaging than if he had hit him during his childhood. He's radioactive.
Nate from euphoria is a perfect video for this series
Been waiting on this one for some time. Nice vid
One of my top shows of all time. I can Watch this and the sopranos for the rest of my lifetime and feel content. Thank you for posting this !
During a rewatch I counted how many times they talked about the war and how many times Tommy personally killed someone. The war is referenced or directly mentioned 105 times with the most being in season 1 with 31. In the show Tommy kills 15 with the most being a tie between season 4 and 6 both having 5. The war is mentioned the most in Season 1 Episode 2 with 11 mentions and the episode with the most Tommy kills is Season 6 episode 4 with 4 kills
Great channel! I discovered you yesterday after finally finishing the Sopranos and finding your video on Tony. I think it could be interesting to make a video about Don Draper from Man Men, who isn't violent like Tony Soprano or Tommy Shelby but is still hugely manipulative to family and coworkers. Edit: Another suggestion just came to mind - MODOK from the recent stop-motion TV show. It's a comedy, but MODOK still acts like a villain at the expense of everyone around him.
Thank you so much for covering Tom Shelby. I'm late to the party regarding this show, but my goodness he is one of the best written characters I've come across in a long time. Even the ladies of the show like Polly and Grace are well written as well.
so glad you made a Peaky Blinders video. This show is amazing
"No foitin! No fookin foitin!" Thomas "Oppenheimer" Shelby
He’s a family man above all
I've been waiting so long for this, I'm really glad it's finally here
One of your best episodes been following the series for a very very long time. Big love
"I didn't know if i should refer to him as Thomas or Tommy." Probably play it safe with Mr Shelby. Jk lol
Cillian Murphy's performance in Peaky Blinders is 100% proof that he would be the perfect choice to play Doctor Doom in the MCU.
Yes! I absolutely agree.
I had some recommendations but you have covered them all, awesome channel, definitely got my sub
Bravo! Hands down one of the best channels on this fledgling app!
Thomas Shelby is man to be admired. I loved this crime series. I was so sad when it ended 😮
Loved this. Please consider The Yellow King from True Detective season 1 for a future episode. Layers upon layers of true evil.
Yes!
Glad you finally covered him. Amazing content
So glad to see this. I was one of the people who wanted to see this, and it does not disappoint!
Thank you so much for the content over the years. You have covered so many pieces of media I greatly appreciate and in some cases absolutely cherish. Of the latter, I implore you to possibly consider doing a video on the film Boys Don’t Cry, based on the true events of a hate crime committed in Nebraska, 1993. There’s so much to unpack, I’d really love it if you even just watched it on your own time.
Your content is awesome thanks!
You’ve one of the best channels on KZhead! Keep it coming bro. Congratulations on your success
YESSSS!!! Finally, I was waiting so long for this video.
Your videos always make me wanna watch the subject material! Your analysis are just so spot on. Would it be too much asking if perhaps you did a video on Pablo Escobar’s portrayal on Narcos? He was a real life person of course so it would be interesting to see how the show ended up portraying him.
I knew a few WW1 veterans as a child, one was one of the biggest inspirations in my life, they were from a harsh world where they went from working long hours to live hand to mouth to hell on earth, to being s*rewed over by the ruling class to the great depression to another war. The only thing I can't understand is why there wasn't a lot more Thomas Shelbys among them. What sort of threat can scare someone who's already been to hell?
Are you really that frightened to spell the word screwed? Jesus
thank you for making a video on thomas shelby Ive been watching your videos a lot lately i love your content this is a good one
Been waiting fornthis one for this one for a long time Thanks Vile Eye
Great to see that you're finally covering Peaky Blinders. Tommy Shelby is just the beginning when it comes to villainy in this series. Further down the line, we've got Luca Changretta and Oswald Moseley, hopefully you analyse them at some point
Idk if Oswald will be analyzed being that he is someone from the real world (which is scary to remember)
@@commisargamerson1666 Very true... he doesn't have a massive presence in the show either. Might be better to group Tommy's foes together in one video.
@@robcain8865 I think the channel has a rule of not covering irl people and it's more about the unique creation of fictional characters. Oswald's traits are not written, he is like that (with ofc some theatrical embellishing)
Unpopular opinions. There are two characters I'd love to see you cover someday: Todd Gaines from "Go". Not exactly a villain, just because it wasn't that kind of movie. But the scene when he confronts Ronna in the parking lot with a menacing calm is still haunting me. A Zen psychopath. Glinda, The Good Witch of the North from "The Wizard of Oz". She managed to manipulate events for her own ends, and walked away looking like the good guy, sprinkling fairy dust on everyone.
i don't watch most of your videos until I finish the series but I always leave a like the day its uploaded because I know your content is great every time
Insane video! I love to hear your process in making something like this.
I screenshot this.. cause I commented “what did I win” about 11 minutes after he said that I won.. then I check again after work and my comment was deleted.. THIS DUDE A FRAUD. So y’all know
You should do James Keziah Delaney from Taboo. Great show even though it only got one season, and an amazing protagonist
I would love to see an analyzing evil on Arthur Morgan. He is such a wonderfully complex character who seems to do good outside of the dutch van der linde gang. I would love to see your opinion on Arthur's character.
Love this show, it's absolutely incredible! Can't wait for the movie to see how this story truly ends!
Thanks I've been asking for this video for a long time
Such a great character, such a great show.
When Thomas Shelby said: "Everyone's a whore, Grace. We're just selling different parts of ourselves." It was by far the greatest line in favor of sex workers I have ever heard. Legend.
There is a difference between selling your body and other things you have
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Sure: some people care way too much that people sell their sex, and cool people realize that it's simply a job either way. There are jobs that are both less demanding on your body, and more.
I'm not sure. Sex workers don't hurt anyone by their selling. Drug dealers or con artists , for example, actually harm others.
@@TheRepublicOfUngeria well my point is that Shelby comparison doesn't make sense logically
@@zhenia2511 unless they are spreading sexual diseases then yes you are right
Nice to be able to comment on one of these from my home city. The accents in this show range from terrible to truly traveller with modern day yo yo brilliant. Great episode as always!
i’ve been waiting for this episode for so long omg
What a treat this is, can you do Alfie Solomon’s?
Why is this age restricted 😭
Great video. Makes me wanna watch the series again. I would love to see an episode on the Delos corporation from Westworld. I know it’s a convoluted mess but any analysis you could glean from it would be highly valued.
