And then his best scenes are after the stupid emotion eater. If by "stupid emotion eater" you mean the slug thing that is actually more of a lie detector and not an emotion eater. If you're not talking about that slug creature thing, then I don't know what you're talking about.
I was talking about the slug.

For me his best scenes where the ones where he was angling to meet Saw, and then trying to convince him he's on his side (which are truly excellent scenes). Afterwards he was just sorta there for me. Which are your favorites?
My favorite is the climax. What he does to get everything set up for transmission is breathtaking and heartbreaking. But beyond that, his scene talking to Jyn about Galen telling him he could "make things right" is just so pitch perfect. That's probably the scene that endears him to me so much and makes me love him.
If you haven't already, y'all should watch Nightcrawler and The Night Of to get an idea of his range. He was such a powerhouse in those two, that I just felt like this character was a big whiff on the part of the writers.
YOU'RE A BIG WHIFF ON THE PART OF THE WRITERS

Just thought it tried too hard. Even back to the marketing. Idk, just didn't like it. But I hated "Drive" so what do I know?

I really want to see Nightcrawler. I think it looks great. But I also didn't care for Drive. So...

Nightcrawler is motherfucking fantastic. Repo Man comparison seems way off base though.

I just meant most people here liked Drive and Nightcrawler. I didn't like either so my point is I apparently have shitty tastes in movies

Look, I don't know. I haven't seen any of those movies except Drive. I have no desire to see Repo Man and I'm dying to see Nightcrawler.

Really? Okay, cool. I'll check it out. I literally know nothing about it. Other than its title.

Do you think? The whole Los Angeles wasteland vibe just seemed so reminiscent of repo man to me, even if the plots were nothing alike.
Hmm okay I see what you mean. I guess to me the tones and meanings are so different that I find it hard to compare them, but yeah, I can see it.

Just don't confuse it with Repo Men. That movie is terrible.
