What are you talking about? He had no redemption arc at all. He was just brutalised by a monster and then rejected by his father and got some comfort hug by Nadine. He didn't learn anything, nor would blinding a person be a rational lesson. He didn't get a chance to meet Wit again so they could work things out, nor did he get a chance to help anyone and we don't even know what happened to him after the ambulance.

@@damontoledo8253 He knew is father is a monster. And like most abused boys he just tried to outdo him to come home with a trophy, which he continued to fail to get. The only truth he learned was that his dad named him Gator out of spite for being a "weak lizard" at birth. But he knew that instantly when Nadine told him. He never questioned it because it was self explanatory with the broken naming tradition and his father constantly berating him and putting other guys in charge over his own son during missions. The audience knew that he knew the moment he left the property in pure rage.

Meh. The supernatural angle in every Fargo season seems shoehorned in for no reason at all. The raining fish and UFOs and bathtub ghosts and 500-year-old sin-eaters and the god guy wondering around in Season 3 talking to the main characters, it all just comes off as corny and not really adding anything of value to any storylines. Ole could've played the usual walking death machine role that we see in every season of Fargo, we didn't need him to be some magical being from the 1500s.

@@magesalmanac6424 exactly my sentiment!!! Munch never openly admitted he was from the 15th century, it’s implied though. It’s not in your face like the season 2 UFO scene. What I love about Ole is he terrifies Roy, who is basically seen as unshakable.

Yup Gator made his own bed utterly disrespectful to everybody given several chances to learn and when that failed was offered two chances at salvation (Pay off Munch) and one at redemption (chance to free Dot) and tossed them aside. Gator had some bad breaks but the gods have been more than generous with opportunities he wasted.

Gator had to be blinded to see.

What I see in Gator is an insolent asshole but it's due to circumstances he was put in because of Roy. He was a victim indeed. I legit didn't like him at all at first but when things started to uncover as to how abusive Roy was with him too, I knew it effed his mind up. I never saw a chance for his redemption for what he did but tbh it's refreshing to see that he did one right thing and that simply changed everything for everyone - got Roy arrested. Now, Gator himself is going to get in prison and serve his jail time, so there's a chance for him to reflect more about his misdeeds. I see Gator as a grey character who would have turned out to be a good boy if he belonged to a right family. Dot and Gator hugging each other was so sweet to watch. Joe just did a terrific job playing Gator's character.

He was so cartoonishly over-the-top with all the usual tropes of sexism, racism, inferiority complex, compensating for his "shortcomings" with trucks and guns, room full of posters blasting metal music, chanting in the mirror about how much of a winner he is, etc. They took all the Regressive-Left narratives, stuck them in a blender, then poured the entire glass into this joke of a character.

@@jonfreeman9682 That video he made to the other “Patriots”. Just a darkly funny Deep State message. He’s been great, but for whatever reason, his films haven’t done as well, and he did more commercials than TV shows until The Morning Show and Fargo. He didn’t fall off a cliff, but he kind of took a back seat.

"Announce yourselves!" It reminds me of Banquo and Macbeth meeting the witches (this scene is similar to Joel Cohen's version of Macbeth). Also, Munch gives the feeling of being something more ancient, even pagan. So much exclusion, so many wrongs he (or his ancestors) had to endure, that he becomes a brutal killer, albeit with his own code of honor.

After hearing Gator break down and cry for his dad, then promptly get told he's worth nothing... I kind of hope he gets out. I hope he gets to have a life for himself. Whether he was a good person as an adult or not... he had his life ripped away from him as a child and never grew up. I just hope they don't kill him off ... it's really easy to do those sacrificial character development arcs, but it is deeply moving to let them live and face the consequences of their actions.

i'm feeling your breakdown...i caint stop rewinding these scenes, i'm not the only one...Please tell my wife...this is the best season thus far

I have a cousin who, as a child, witnessed first hand the kind of physical abuse that went on with this son from his father. Maybe not as frequently, but certainly enough… The mother was a druggie, too. No help from her. Now, she got a son and husband, who both adore her, my mom and sis and me behind her, two dogs… And now, a sorry-ass father with a wrecked liver, who she comes to give food coupons to and change his diaper. To this day, I sincerely believe she got out the way she did, after doing what probably (if I’d been her) seemed like the most impossible thing anyone raised in an environment like that can do. And that’s trusting someone else. To those who are watching this video &/or reading this comment and who’ve gone through anything remotely close to what my cousin and that dude had- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There IS someone out there who will love and respect you and show you what it really means to have a family! Don’t give up! And don’t become the very monster your parent(s) was/were. Only then, do they really win.

His dad doesn't love him and it hurt to see gator ( a victim of abuse) have to realise this.
