Is Wade really that tough?


Or is he just a pussy with a gun? Tom even had to save the loser from drowning, for Christ's sake.

yes. he was that tough.

I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me.
"My father? He saved us all."

reply

Really? Then why did he need Tom to save his life?

yes really. c'mon man, you don't mess with bacon. you should know this.

reply

I just didn't find him that intimidating. Yeah, he beat the crap out of Tom, but that was because Tom knew he had a gun and didn't fight back.

reply

no it's because Tom knew that if he didn't let bacon win then bacon would kill him

reply

Same difference.

reply

no your wrong because clearly when wade didnt have a gun. wade still beat him up.

reply

That was because Wade sucker-punched him in the balls like the little pussy bitch that he was.

did you watch the same movie as me.
if so you should have realized that he wasnt drownding he was faking so that he could pull tom under and kill him so he wont have to deal with a man

reply

Wade wasn't really drowning, he was pretending to get the father in there, once he came to save Wade, they were fighting underwater because Wade was trying to drown the father.

"You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me."

reply

I was just going to post the same thing mikey. I can't believe people thought he was actually drowning.

You guys are morons. It was made clear in the movie that Wade couldn't swim.

Wade mention that he doesn't know how to swim right after when Tom saved him but would you believe Wade? I thought it was just a clear set up for him to say that. Haven't watch the movie in a long while but I remember Wade saying he doesn't know how to swim sounded like pure BS.

It's made clear when Tom escapes and he goes after him. When he sees that Tom has gone into the river he says, "Sh!t", and holds onto the rocks as he walks through the water after him.

he was saying oh *beep* because he was in the water for long enough time to get pretty far away. he clearly was in water above his head. aswell as when he was thrown out of the water with out a life vest on he went under then came back up and the water was clearly over his head yet he was swiming in place. if someone cant swim and they are in a river raft going up a river at all time they would logically have a life vest on yet most of the time he didnt

reply

"if someone cant swim and they are in a river raft going up a river at all time they would logically have a life vest on yet most of the time he didnt"

Right, because he was clearly an idiot.

reply

no it was not made clear. it was hinted at but never once did they actually lead us to believe that he couldnt swim. you could clearly see that when he was under water and tom was underwater he was perfectly calm. he was simply trying to drown him.

reply

Yes, it was made very clear. Wade and Terry have their boat accident and both go in the water, at this point Terry yells, "Wade can't swim!!" So according to you geniuses, that was all just a ploy to drown Tom? Because they were psychic and they would know that Tom would go in the water after Wade?

Wade was never some pussy who was only bad because of the gun. he beat the shxt out of Tom with only a few punches and knees


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest movie directors today

reply

And Tom also sent him flying to the ground with one punch after having to save his life because the little pussy bitch couldn't swim. He basically let Wade beat the sh!t out of him because he knew he had a gun and could've just shot him.
