I know I would accept Buzz's apology to save myself from further trouble and conflict, plus I would also gladly apologize to Buzz for my wrongdoing towards him, I don't get why Kevin couldn't do the same.
shareKEVIN WASNT A DOWN ON HIS KNEES,BEGGING FOR COMPROMISE,SNIVELING WUSS.DERR.
shareBecause Buzz wasn't sorry and called him a troutsniffer.
shareEven if Buzz called me a troutsniffer I would gladly still accept his apology so I could avoid further punishment, then I would tell Buzz that I'd like for him to stop picking on me as part of the truce.
shareAnd you think Buzz would have accepted your truce? If Kevin had said that to Buzz, Buzz would have laughed in his face.
Kevin didn't accept it because it was too much. Buzz wasnt only not sorry, but he had just humiliated Kevin and then gets off free. And did you see the way his family was looking at him? Acting like he was in the wrong? I'd have told them all to go to hell.
Sometimes when you're younger, you view things in a movie like this one way but then as you get older you can see things from the adult perspective. I was 12 when this movie came out and am now 39, but my opinion on this scene has never changed. Kevin was completely right in this situation. His family deserved to get chewed out for taking Buzz's side and not seeing through his phony apology (not to mention getting in a shot at Uncle Frank for being a cheapskate). He has no reason to apologize to Buzz.
shareHe may be 10 years old. BUT he was a strong level headed boy who took sh!t from NO ONE.
Plus, why should he accept it? He knew that Buzz wasn't being sincere. Also, this conflict wasn't as bad as in the first movie where Uncle Frank called him a "jerk". He even had the balls to calling him out for the "cheapskate" that he was.
Buzz was being a troll of a dick!
shareBecause then he really would be a troutsniffer!
