Is supposed to be the "bad guy"

>Is supposed to be the "bad guy"
>Is literally just a guy trying to do his job

Maybe people who go to work....ARE EVIL?

#justsocialistthings

You know who else was "just doing their job"?

The Nazis.

uhh you miss the part where he was a white christian? with a white family?

>Good guys are a woman failing to do her job, an unemployed man and a communist
Hm

EY YO SHANNON A GOOD BOY HE DINDU NUFFIN

>The "bad guys" in the movie are infinitely more relateable and likeable than the protagonists

Why does Hollywood do this so often? Avatar is probably the most obvious example, but at least half the movies out of hollywood do it to one degree or another.

YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND JAMAL

checked
Hollywood is out of touch and literally opposite world

you're being redundant

...

Going to work makes you a good person now? rofl

>sadist who fantasies about raping a disabled woman
He a good boy!

>WHERE DID YOU TRAIN?@!
>IN AN AQUARIUM?!

What was that webm where the woman fucked with some tentacle monster that was getting posted on Sup Forums all the time last few days? I actually thought it's from The Shape of Water, even the woman looked like Sally Hawkins.

Nice reading comphrension

>Fish fucker and gay pedo are good, guys c'mon it's The Current Year

>sadist
first blood was shed by him when Aquaman bite his fingers off
>fantasies about raping a disabled woman
yeah, "fantasies" is the key word here

also, it wasn't him who was responsible for killing a man who literally dindu nuffin

Were you in the bathroom or something when he was torturing the fishman for no reason? Was that part of his job?

Washing your hands only before pissing is pretty evil

It unironically was

Le ebil white man XD

Redpill me on the "Strickland is a likeable dude" meme. I can understand relating to the antagonists of Avatar if you're a pragmatic guy with a boner for the advancement of humanity. But it's never even clear on what experimenting with the Creature will bring, and even then he doesn't experiment with it at all. The equivalent of "experimenting" to him is torture.

So, what we have overral is a guy who:
>resents his family of big-titted wife and 2 kids
>has no friends or people who like him, just people who suck his dick or yell at him. Even his wife is in it for the power-trip and money.
>sadist who actively tortures a living being for fun under the guise of doing work
>wants to cheat on his wife with the mute girl because it's his kink
>fall for the car salesman's tricks and gets the most expensive car just because
>incredibly incompetent, gets fooled by a mute, a black woman, a russian and a gay. All of them middle-aged
>faggy beta who would prefer to keep reading books about positive thinking instead of doing shit. Has to pressured by his boss to kill people.

I'm not even looking for an argument, I just really don't get it. What do you find likeable about Strickland?

It bit his fingers off. You did not see what happened before that, but if some water monster did that to you, you'd want to see him getting Pence'd as well..

>torturing a semi sentient creature with magic healing powers

Contrarians leave

I didn't say he was nice, just more likeable than the protagonists. Which he is. He at least has something he's trying to achieve. The blue cat people are just a bunch of grass skirt wearing primitives who live in trees and caves and have absolutely no goal or purpose beyond eking out a subsistence on a world completely overflowing with natural resources and opportunity. It's the definition of pearls before swine.

>resents his family of big-titted wife and 2 kids
did he?
>has no friends or people who like him, just people who suck his dick or yell at him. Even his wife is in it for the power-trip and money.
he want career and this job is his ticket, also living in Baltimore is only temporary
>sadist who actively tortures a living being for fun under the guise of doing work
he tortured him only once (at least what we can see) and that was aftermath for biting off his fingers
>wants to cheat on his wife with the mute girl because it's his kink
dick move but he didn't actually did it, it was light sexual harrasment or power trip
>fall for the car salesman's tricks and gets the most expensive car just because
he wanted the car for status , expensive Cadillac was exactly what he wanted
>incredibly incompetent, gets fooled by a mute, a black woman, a russian and a gay. All of them middle-aged
literally bullshit plot, top secret military facility had almost no security? I guess it was his fault as head of security, but it was just lazy writing at this point since it was obvious he was capable man
>faggy beta who would prefer to keep reading books about positive thinking instead of doing shit. Has to pressured by his boss to kill people.
he was pressured to getting the secret project back from Russians, no matter what

>semi

>it's a "movie has some progressive theme so Sup Forums pretends the villain is some idol of edgy greatness" episode
Go back home and watch the Crow you tweeny bopping faggot

BONKERS INNIT

did a pretty shit job of it

>just doing his job
>job involves doing bad things
>act like a smarmy cunt the whole time doing it
>W-WHY IS HE CONSIDERED THE BAD GUY

Did anyone else feel as though his performance was great at first, but seemed to get a bit lost by the end of the film?
