Nope, he was an insecure loser who would constantly try to prove his manhood by committing acts of violence that only would serve to make things worse. Ray is basically a feral animal, easily manipulated by a crime boss into killing someone unrelated, hurting others to disguise how powerless he feels, destroys his marriage, and is more interested in hurting bullies than actually helping his son from being bullied. The entire show is about how he's completely inadequate and useless despite being a "tough guy hero."

Guys, you have to udnerstand something about this season. This is about what bad decision making leads to. What happens when you run on autopilot and let the monkey inside take over. Ray was an absolute piece of shit from beginning to end. Likable, charming, has some kind of code, etc. But if you watch from the beginning you can see that this character, like all the other characters, is just along for the ride. He reacts, he doesn't choose to take a different path. Maybe he likes the path too much, maybe it amuses him, maybe he's a coward, maybe he's just a piece of shit. But whatever it is, this is what happens when you run on autopilot, same with the other two male characters. These guys simply would not grow. And so they die. PIzzalotto is telling you, if you do not make a fucking choice, you will die in a fucking ditch, and there will be no parade, there will be no goddamn message, maybe your soulmate will be upset, but it won't make a damn bit of difference.

That’s why when ray looked up at the trees he realized what his dad told him is what was happening, so he just let it happen.

I was a soldier who fought in Afghanistan. I would typically engage targets from 100-300 meters. That felt pretty fuckin close. You think because they wear man dresses and sandals that they aren't threats? War is all they've known. Ok my point before I trail off is imagine engaging with enemies who don't want to be shot. Sure we had superior firepower and tactics but it's pretty crazy shooting at people even from those distances. Here they are like 20-25 meters away and are healthier than him and right on his ass. He had no fuckin time to try and pick up those weapons at all. If anything I actually applaud whoever wrote this scene because one guy against 6-8 trained professionals is not happening at all lol. He had the grit and determination to try, but so do they. They wanted him dead and executed their plan to do so.

Focusing on the grimy, corrupt underworld in politics/positions of power and how the bad guys usually win but killing both Frank & Ray as well as Ray's messages failing to upload just felt a little cheap. It's obvious they realized people didn't like this season nearly as much as the first as they went back to the original thriller/mystery format with the final season. Great show overall though

I dont remember everything about season 2 I know I was disappointed but still thought it better than 85 % of what was on. Anyway why does he go to the deep woods? It makes sense on the surface but if u think about it ar all it's the worst thing he could have done worst after doing the only thing that could get him caught in going to see Chad, this gives them the isolation to kill and rob him and pretty much insures hes not getting closer to a signal.

@joshschaeffer3300 5 жыл бұрын

No extra clips? Seems like he would at least try to get there guns or ammo, if he can't hes dead so why not? If he can he might live through this. Why not spray around the tree? Just giving up and running at them was he out of ammo all together? That shotgun could have done the damage he needs without sticking his head out considering there just coming at him pretty much head on not taking any cover giving there position up or at least Burris is. Take him out could probably talk the other 2 down, buy them off or they would probably beat it back to his car rob him and take off rather than risk dying in the woods and him getting away. Seems like he could have gotten away they dont have dogs or trackers and hes in the deep woods with a tactical shotgun, could have done better than just a kamikaze charge but maybe it makes more sense if I watched the whole thing knowing td it probably would make less

Because he happened to have the shotgun, but shotguns suck dick for gunfighting.. so he was using his pistol when possible. But he wasn't about to leave an extra gun behind so he was keeping the shotgun, but it didn't have a sling... hence he is holding it while using his pistol with his strong hand until it ran dry.
