Can't stop laughing. Hawley is the greatest voice in the television form since fucking Lynch and the kids raised on a diet of IMDB sensibility television simply can't handle it.

>>
oh wait seriously, the plastic surgery was supposed to make him look like that? this is some MGSV level bullshit
>>
>>63685771
The character below from the second season literally gets plastic surgery to become the character above from the first season despite the two not sharing any characteristics and it being clear that the character above was not written to be character below.

It's poor quality writing which makes the gun at the beginning of season 5 of Breaking Bad look like a well thought out plot device.
>>
>>63685783
>this is some MGSV level bullshit
Except whether you like it or not, the MGSV twist can be reasoned for existing. The twist in Fargo literally makes no coherent sense. It's literally just a twist for the sake of making a connection which didn't need to happen at the expense of ruining a good character's arc adequately.
>>
>>63687560
This is what happens when a writer works for plot rather than character. Another good example is Lou vs. Bear.

>good character writing: a character must solve the situation he/she is in. Either they solve it or they don't, but you learn more about the character
>bad character writing: a character is saved by a total fucking coincidence that causes his killer to act stupidly while our man gets his ass saved by luck and nothing else

Bravo Hawley.
>>
>>63687619
I would argue with you over that, but I can't really be bothered defending the show at this point. It's jumped the shark. I cannot believe I am as pissed at that twist as I am, its just plain bad writing.
>>
>>63687619
It happened for a reason. Hawley could have easily written bear getting shot before attacking him.
Or he could have done what he did. It builds more tension.
Fuck you.
>>
everyone is flipping shit but for all we know somebody couldve killed Hanzee between season 2 and season 1 and taken his identity
>>
>>63688146
We're acting upon what we're given rather than speculation that has no basis.
>>
>>63688206
fair enough. although im not really sure why this bothers everyone so much
>>
>>63687509
You missed the point.

It wasn't to pointlessly connect two seemingly unrelated characters for no real reason, it was to cap of Hanzee's arc as someone who rose and built an empire. By making him Tripoli you know he succeeded, instead of leaving it open ended.

It also relates to Mike's ending. One is stripped away of his personality and is fucked for it, and another completely embraces it becoming a king.

I understand why people think its stupid. But there are thematic reasons why its there more than just arbitrarily making a dumb connection.

Wrench and Numbers being kids was pointless though but a little fanservice is fine.
>>
>>63688283
Regardless of how much you try to reason it, the whole pretence of Hanzee becoming Tripoli is fucking ridiculous. We all know why Hanzee became this guy, it was to make a connection to season 1 for the sake of making a connection. It is not thematically sound because it literally has little to do with what Hanzee's character arc was developed to be at that point and as a result feels tacked on like an afterthought.

So I'm led to believe that Hanzee only pursued the Blumquists for a couple of street blocks, gets shot at, disappears, then resurfaces as a fat jew whose characterization makes no sense for it to be Hanzee, so that it could be shown that Hanzee cares more about "building an empire" despite it not really being in line with how his character was developed before episode 10? With this in mind, then I have to ask what was the fucking point of Hanzee arranging the Sioux Falls Massacre to get to the Blumquists if he is just going to disregard it completely an hour later.

It is straight out poor writing which you are giving undeserved credit on the basis of it being "thematically sound", when everything we know of Hanzee up to that point kind of contradicts that. Mike's ending makes sense, but Hanzee's doesn't.
>>
>>63688491
because hes "tired of this life"
>>
>>63688491
Eh, I acknowledged I'm probably reaching, I give the benefit of the doubt simply because it really does dove tails nicely with Mike's ending.

Also Hanzee definitely shows wanting to have a different life, and wanting an empire falls perfectly in line with not want to serve anyone and wanting to be on charge. Also he's definitely not stupid, as in when chasing Ed after getting shot at by Lou he high tailed it out of there because there were police all over from the shoot out at the motel.

I really think its not that much of a stretch to consider Mike's ending and Hanzee's ending to somewhat compliment each other, particularly losing their personalities for something else in the future.

I think people are just mad if was some fat jew in s1. Its stupid, I just contest that there was more thought put into it than some random connection that wasn't necessary.
>>
>>63688670
>I think people are just mad if was some fat jew in s1. Its stupid
Not really when you consider that writing you refer to is the Breaking Bad situation of writing in a gun without knowing what the fuck to do with it, only in this case being that they wrote in the fat jew originally with no intentions of a character in the second season becoming him and it really shows.
>>
>>63688763
They definitely wanted to illustrate that Hanzee became his own king, its just a let down that he became fat and old. But I'm okay with it because people become fat and old in 30 years.

The plastic surgery angle wasn't necessary probably. They could have told him to disappear and reappear with that new name.
>>
>>63683688
it wasn't hanzee you retard it was the jew
>>
>>63688833
this

i really think people are just pissed that he went from a cool redskin badass to a fat old jew that lived and died in one episode of the first season.

but thats life. not the plastic surgery part. but the not so heroic ends for heroic characters.
>>
It wouldn't bother me at all except that Native guys can't grow beards
>>
>>63688888

writers confirmed it was Hanzee
>>
>>63688927
It's not that. It's just obvious that the idea to do this came to the writer(s) late in the game, as the characters themselves are so very different. If perhaps, they added some identifiable traits before the finale, this would not be as much of a problem.
>>
>>63689091
well they admitted that they came up with it halfway through the season.

why are you supposed to be able to guess thats who he becomes before it happens?
>>
>>63688888
What a waste of quints
>>
I don't even remember this guy from season 1
>>
ruined the whole season. maybe if the fat guy didn't die in season 1 it would make more sense so they could use him in season 3
>>
>>63689273
Which is why it was such a great decision. It rewards the hardcore Fargo fan and leaves the fairweather viewers who don't rewatch the show and just hopped on the bandwagon scratching their heads.
>>
>>63689178
You're not supposed to be able to guess, but there has to be something there so that after the reveal it makes some sense to the viewer.
>>
>>63689307
But what about the people who don't instantly look up who Tripoli is and just figure that Hanzee's fate is left a mystery? The joke in all of this is explaining who he becomes to people who know nothing about S1
>>
>>63689355
it made all the sense it needed to. he changed his identity and became Moses Tripoli. nothing about that shouldve left you confused.
>>
>>63683688
Fargo writers were playing the Metal Gear Solid series and picked up some great plot twist ideas from Kojima.
>>
>>63689394
What if Peggy escaped from custody and gotten plastic surgery to become Pearl Nygaard - would that make sense? That's on about the same level of writing.
>>
>>63689392
Never explain jack shit. If they didn't remember Tripoli immediately then they don't deserve to know, let the retards think what they want.
>>
>>63688996
Do you have a link? Or are they your best friends?
>>
>>63689520

yeah but it did make sense. they explained who he became, how he did it, and why he did it. if you didnt like that he became Moses Tripoli then thats your prerogative. but stop saying it didnt make sense because you sound like a fucking retard. end of story.
>>

no that wouldn't have made sense because lester and others went to high school with pearl nygaard. so you lose faggot.
>>
>>63689591
You're saying that it makes sense that it happened because the writers say so? By the end of the season, Hanzee became a rampaging psychopath who hated taking orders. So what you're suggesting is that he soon gave up his new-found ideals to start up an organization like the one he hated? How about you think for yourself, instead of letting the writers do it for you?
>>
>>63689520
With what connections and money would Peggy accomplish that? Think before you try to make a point
>>
>>63689882
You just answered it yourself. He hated taking orders, so he probably wanted to be the one giving them? Its literally fairly simple story telling that you seem to be having a hard time with.
>>
>>63689882
youre saying it doesnt make sense that a man who hates taking orders become one who gives them instead?

its funny how a red faced indian is just a goon but a fat white jew is a leader huh? hmm.

how about you stop thinking for yourself because you arent very good at it
>>
>>63688491
>It is straight out poor writing which you are giving undeserved credit on the basis of it being "thematically sound"

That's pretty much this entire season. It's been pathetic seeing people trip over themselves trying to defend the UFO as some amazing plot element that was totally fitting because "the Coen bros did it" and it was part of "midwest mythology" instead of some lolrandom shit haphazardly thrown in.

Same with Reagan, what was the point of him being such a big presence? The show didn't have anything interesting to say about him or his policies beyond "the corperate 80s are coming, no more family business". It's all just surface level stuff.

The actual plot was sloppily written. Hanzee is a nonentity for the first 3/4 of the show then suddenly becomes the driving force of the plot despite being so shittily written the show has to introduce a narrator just to explain his motives.
>>
>>63689882
>when you're so retarded you dont even know it.
>>
>>63683688

seriously terrible, completely forced, ashame because the season started so good
>>
>>63683688
while it is stupid as hell that those two are somehow the same person. If it had just ended with Hanzee getting a new identity of some unknown random guy, I would have had absolutely no problems with the finale at all.

I still don't think it takes anything away from this season at all, I just think it was a stupid last second move that has no purpose at all.

>>
>>63690241

bad writing, the season finale was a big letdown
>>
>>63690017
You've got it backwards, the people that are fine with the UFO see it as more of a thematic thing whereas the people who aren't see it as a plot thing. Its more the former than the latter and if you didn't get the Reagan/coming of coporate america and how it related to the characters and plot then I'm noy sure what to tell you.
>>
>>63690241
He was getting shot at and isn't a retard. So he dropped it, because people do that. He was only pissed at them for a personal reason anyway, so it wasn't like he HAD to kill them only that he wanted to.

Basically this complaint is NOT ENOUGH HAPPENING.

I understand for some it was a let down. I preferred Peggy losing her mind and Ed bleeding out on a freezer better
>>
>>63689520
But that can never happened since Lester remembers her from his class?

>Defending the decision to not only evoke but outright show an alien spacecraft in Season 2, Hawley said,"There are two things that I felt gave me permission: the first was that the Coens [who created the movie Fargo] had used a UFO in The Man Who Wasn’t There, so a lot of that imagery had been there. But also the fact that in 1979, two years after Close Encounters and Star Wars, it was very much in the zeitgeist. And after the crazy political upheavals of the ’70s, where everyone realized that a conspiracy really did go all the way to the top, you realized you couldn’t trust anything — even the skies.”

How could someone this retarded be responsible for the writing of an award-winning cable show?

Hanzee left because it was an unnecessary risk, the place was crawling with cops.

Hanzee being Tripoli has already been discussed in here and basically if you can't get over it then maybe you should stop watching the show.

How was Wrench and Numbers cameo unnecessary?

Ted Danson's emojis were odd ok, but they were a discussion about how he was just fucked up from his wife dying. it kept him busy

>no close for walter junior or kitchen brother
did there absolutely need to be?


i swear if the show closed the way some of you claim you want it to youd be on here saying there wasn't enough left open ended.

This is the problem. You kids can't even look up from your phones long enough to realize what's going on
>>
>the KC Syndicate hires the traitorous hatchet man who betrayed his old employers to run their Fargo operation

I don't get this, it doesn't make sense. Are we to assume that they don't know Tripoli is Hanzee? That they are unaware of Hanzee pulling all those strings at Sioux Falls and actually think Milligan took out the Gerhardt war party? If they don't know he's Hanzee, why would they install some random to run their new territory? Why would they install a treacherous former enemy to run their new territory? Why wouldn't they just put one of their own guys in over there? Why would Hanzee give a shit about running an empire after what he's just been through and done?

If KC knew anything about what happened they would have never promoted Milligan.

If you think about Hanzees character and how he would get to that point in season 1 its actually brilliant. Get over yourself, its a tv show.

This is a type of storytelling device that seems to really appeal to some people, and I don't get it at all. The desire to draw meaningless connections between characters and plot points, all the references to Coen Bros movies like it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe or something.

Overall they've been doing a great job this season, great storytelling, great performances from a great cast, visually inventive and beautiful, but every time they pull some shit like this it just pulls me right out of it. Honestly, the main problem with Fargo is that it's called "Fargo" and they feel this weird need to set it in the same "universe" as the movie Fargo.

because tripoli is a minor 2 bit character in season 1 that gets killed by malvo and its a complete waste of hanzees entire character arc, not to mention he looks nothing like hanzee, plastic surgery in the modern day cant turn a short native american into a taller lighter skin coloured jew with completely different facial structure much less back in 1979

the actual UFO was such a stupid idea regardless of the references to it in the other episodes, like none of the cops saw this thing when they were a minute or 2 away from the scene? Are they really gonna just ignore this?


the entire peggy storyline was fucking stupid, hanzee chases after them, we know he does because he kills the guy in the car which lou interacts with so we know it actually happend and isnt an unreliable narrator or hallucination or some other bullshit, yet he just gives up on chasing them for some reason?

the wrench and numbers thing was also stupid as fuck, these 2 normal kids become gangsters and killers because some indian saved them from getting bullied? I mean fucking what?

it literally seemed like the entire plot was simply to maximize the amount of coen brothers references, i mean enough already for fucks sakes.

Its not just an unsatisfactory resolution its no resolution at all, almost nobody gets any closure or catharsis or any indication the previous events mattered, and dont give me the Sisyphus bullshit.

it was a terrible way to end the season and it ruined a fantastic second season, the only hope is hawley learns from it and season 3 isnt complete garbage.

I'm 29 and Fargo IS art over entertainment. Maybe some minor entertainment elements like nick offerman's meme character but it's always kept to the side and doesn't undermine the art.

Go on. Even if you do name some superficial similarities you must understand that at every point where breaking bad turns "entertainment" Fargo turns "art".

Breaking Bad gives them their epin fedora tip moment for them to print out and wear on T shirts. Fargo deprives them of these moments and then the breaking bad fans start blubbering about how the season is ruined because they didn't get their meme.

Because I don't remember every single line from every tv show I watch, but it was a nice touch.

HANZEE: "Not apprehend, dead. Don't care heavily-guarded. Don't care into the sea. Kill and be killed. Head in a bag. There's the message."

TRIPOLI: "Not apprehend. Dead. Don't care extra-marital, don't care not related. Kill and be killed. Head in a bag. There's the message."

Best way to convey his arc. If they just hinted he was going to become a crime boss all the retards would be getting hype for based hanzee coming back next season, but telling us that his future is to become a man we've already seen die unceremoniously makes everything so inevitable and deflated right off the bat.
>>
>>63695655

Ahh, now that makes more sense. Though wouldn't he be dead by the time of the events in S01?

The guy appears to be already in his late 50's as of 1979.

So.

My theory is that Lorne Malvo is an alien. Or was abducted. He had obvious superhuman strength and smarter than Peggy.

I believe the aliens had more meaning but they decided NOT to show them or explain them in the best interest of moving the plot forward. I suspect we will see more aliens in season 3 even if its subtle.

Also, Ted Danson was covering. That was ancient alien sign language and he was clearly contacting them in some shape or form. Notice how the Aliens come as he got shot. He somehow signaled them. Probably using the device that was always attached to his leg.

Remember Cancerfu's speech about advanced communication devices? In her dream? Why would they include it?

So yeah, Ted Dansen contacted the aliens and he saved the day somehow. Will it ever be explained? Probably not.

I dunno, even if he was 45 in 1979, that would make him 75 in S01 and he sure don't look like a 75 year old man in S01.

The Hanzee = Tripoli theory makes more sense, though there is a remote chance that Hanzee's Mob Contact in S02 allied with him to overthrow Kansas City and then murdered Hanzee and took over the operation.

But the age issue still doesn't work.

You're really dense. The guy who gives that card to Hanzee is the real Tripoli (See pic). Hanzee just wants to start an empire he doesn't have to be the visible face of it.

In Betsy's dream she mentions the "light" of her family being challenged by an agent of chaos. As such this season ends to a black title card rather than the victorious white of last.

Hanzee then recruits Wrench & Numbers (Brothers? Why else do both speak sign language at such a young age if only one is deaf?).

Wrench survived season 1, what if he plans to report back to his recruiter? Hanzee would also be angered that his empire was toppled. Upon searching for Malvo he'll eventually learn he died at the hands of those connected to Lou.

The game in season 3 remains to be known. but I think it very likely that this very much alive agent of chaos is coming. Molly and Gus put their demon to bed, Lou couldn't finish his and it comes
