George showed his true colors after the truth...
They were all right he was only pretending to be nice.
Even I'm surprised I'm not gay.
Agreed. That's what I loved about Marty. Unlike all the other apologist nitwits of the crew, he saw right through George and knew the game he was playing. Just because someone's acting nice doesn't mean that the person is (psychopaths for example). His true self also came out at times even before the "meltdown" on the boat. Kid was way better off dead. I don't see how anybody could feel bad for such a scumbag like that.
shareI do agree George had no good manners and did in fact deserve an ass whooping, but the thing most people fail to see is that he is a KID. Growing up, I knew plenty of spoiled fat boys who were only children with single moms who had nice toys and nice everything. The single mother gives everything her child asks for and doesn't take the time to teach them how to speak to people and to learn the error of their ways.
George tried to be nice at first, he bought Sammy a stream machine gun, he even told him he can return it if he wanted. He tried to help the crew with whatever he could, but as soon as he started getting comfortable he began to call Sam, Milly, and Clyde wet "Cats". He tried to fit in with Marty by smoking cigz. Its obvious that he had no, friends and just wanted to belong. As soon as he saw how the older kids were acting he thought he could be excepted by Rocky and Marty by bashing on Clyde, Sammy and Milly. He was just a misguided fat kid with a temper problem, A.D.D. and anxiety issues. He did deserve to get beat up, but the group did NOT need to go through all the trouble for some petty revenge. They could've just pranked him at school or something instead of basically kidnapping him.
What he said on the boat before his death was uncalled for and did not need to happen. Remember what Clyde said? "Nobody talks to people like that, George!" I blame George's mother for the way he turned out. I had my share of bullying as a kid, now I am 23 years old, grown and in great shape to the point where I'd like to see anyone bully me. Know how I handled bullies who were not worth my attention? By standing up to them at school! not outside of school.
Well said, mate. I think the problem with school bullies nowadays is that their aggression mostly stems from their sense of self. Mostly, they unconsciously think they're weak and worthless themselves, so they act bad-ass and tough just to hide those insecurities of theirs. More specifically, they tend to project for the most part, because they attribute their own hostile nature to others and assume that everyone's out to get them too. And they also tend to pick on people smaller or more pacifistic, such as how George was picking on Clyde the most. And he knew Clyde would put up with his *beep* so that was an opportunity (as you just said) to get Marty and Rocky's admiration. And yea, it seems like every only child has this like "center of the universe" syndrome; it's all about them.
