Funniest thread in months, thanks OP

>>214758171
Normies think shit like Mr In-between and the Punisher are epic and based for being vigilantes and punishing le bad people, so when Dexter subverts this trope by turning out to "accidentally" target innocent people and kill them they get all confused because they've been taught by media that vigilantism is never wrong and proper justice is just red tape.

>>214760257
You sound fat.

>>214758075
>also kills countless innocent people
Not saying he doesn't but off the top of my head I'm struggling to remember an innocent person he personally kills. I vaguely remember one episode where he thinks he kills someone innocent because of poor research or something and he has a personal crisis over it but it turns out the guy is bad anyway. Or maybe I'm misremembering.

>>214760392
I dont think he ever kills innocents himself but his friends/family do it due to situations people investigating him inadvertently cause

>>214760455
He killed some random guy in a bathroom for being mean to him.

>>214760546
Forgot about that. Stupid moment, like much of season 5.

>>214760546
He insulted Rita a little bit,

>>214758075
I like how in the later seasons when Dexter stops cutting up bodies after he kills people and just starts dumping whole bodies in off his boat. The writers just stopped giving a shit about trying to explain how Dex would transport them to his boat unnoticed

Im on season 3 and it sucks cock so far. 1 & 2 were great

>>214760257
Fat fuck

>>214760546
Sounds like he met the code.

>>214758075
>also kills countless innocent people
he saved a thousand or more innocent lives with the couple hundred killers he took out. you sound just like the police in the show that seethe that Dexter does more than the entire police department combined and saves millions of taxpayer money.

>>214760257
presidents kill countless innocent people when they bomb shithole countries. collateral damage will always be thing when you're fighting for the greater good.

>>214760257
They really got mad about this post huh

>>214758075
kek zoomers can't watch millenial shows because MCs arent political moralfags

>>214760546
the guy was for sure the type to beat his wife or possibly rape women. doesn't fit the code but he probably wouldn't have been missed. Dexter never killed someone that wasn't up to no good with his own hands, our of self defense, like Logan. Logan was probably his worse kill, because he was a good honest cop. But he was also trying to save Harrison.

>>214761687
it's the most unconventional season, but Miguel Prado is kino.

>>214758075
yea but he mostly kills really horrible people and has mad aura so it's all good

>>214764090
The first rule of the code is dont get caught, plus Logan shot first.

>>214764085
zoomers praised Luigi Mangione who killed someone who legally wasn't a killer. I'm sure if Dexter was real the vast majority of people would support him. But someone with that much skill, intelligence, and plot armor probably wouldn't exist. I know he was based on some guy in Brazil, but that took place in a shithole country and his code was more loose.

>>214761687
3 is dogshit through and through. Skip it. The recap they give at the beginning of season 4 is more than adequate.

>>214764154
Dexter has never really enforced the "don't get caught" rule with an innocent except for when it came to LaGuerta, which he didn't even get to kill. There's no telling if he would have changed his mind last second if Deb didn't interrupt.

>>214758075
>also kills countless innocent people
like who? he didn't directly kill any innocent people from what i remember.

>>214761687
3 really isn't as bad in a vacuum imo but following 1 and 2 and 4 immediately after makes it seem worse by comparison. It's still better than 5 imo.

Doakes being killed off instead of being there to check Dexter for multiple seasons was a waste

>>214764155
>zoomers praised Luigi Mangione
yeah, cause it was a political hit

>>214764242
I don't know. Maybe they could have gotten a third season with him. My fear is they drag it out too long and Doakes gets exposed as a one-note retard. As it stands, he is a little retarded for not immediately telling Laguerta about the results of the blood slides.

>ITT people pretending you're not supposed to side with the protagonist
I bet you faggots wanted Hank to win in BB

>>214758075
In the early 00s you were supposed to root for someone based on their looks and how white he they were

>>214760392
He killed the guy in the bathroom in season 5 because he was rude to him

>>214764242
There's a few things I think the series should've done to improve the series.
>Doakes absolutely should not have been killed off so early and had at least one season on the run and trying to prove his innocence and Dexter's guilt
>I feel like Dexter should have pretended to be a junkie for a lot longer than one season - it legitimately gives him a rational explanation for a lot of his behaviour to any outsider.
>I think the love triangle between Lila and Rita should have been extended with Lila being Dexter's sponsor for a much longer period.
>Rita should not have been killed off so early as Dexter trying to balance his familial responsibilities with his dark passenger is one of the most compelling dynamics of the show
>Dr Vogel should've been introduced a few seasons earlier at minimum and established as an old family friend that has a curiosity in Dexter who eventually drops that drawing on him
>Season 5's entire storyline just shouldn't have ever happened, it adds nothing of value to the show and the one character it introduces is immediately abandoned, forgotten and barely referenced ever again

3rd season was mid, how is 4?

>>214764931
return to form, one of the best seasons

>>214758075
How did you even watch it til the end of the show? The season 2 finale is such a great stopping point and then season 3 is unwatchable garbage, I just decided to pretend there were only two seasons and call it a day.

I don't know if anyone wants to talk a out the show but I really want to say this. I'm currently at season 8 and I just fucking love this same pseudo-family dynamic they're doing with Dexter, Hannah, Zach, and Evelyn. Like holy shit man I can't stop smirking seeing them discuss killing together and Dexter just teaching Zach like killing people is just a family business now. I'm definitely loving this season.

>>214765135
If you're enjoying the pseudo-family dynamic then prepare for disappointment. It ends the same episode it starts.

as they have established in the series, the "code" dictates that he only kills murderers who are likely to kill again
he has killed numerous people who dont fit those criteria
he has killed

>people with unknown criminal status

i have thought about making a detailed list as i have recently rewatched the whole thing, but i chose against it as i am lazy

>>214765233
I literally just finished the episode. Fucking hell, rip Zach. I loved you as Dexter's pseudo son/student

>>214765329
Sometimes I wonder if the writers understand the appeal of their own show. They cut off plot lines with golden potential way too early quite often and it's often just for shock value. The obsession Game of Thrones created with killing off characters as a substitute for drama, character and story development was cancerous.

New Blood had the dumbest kills
>I'm going to kill a guy who who killed people by driving recklessly and used daddy's connections to bail
>I'm going to kill a drug dealer because my son took drugs lmao
>I'm going to kill a hillbilly henchman whom I know nothing about
>I'm going to kill an innocent cop for no reason even though I could easily choke him out

>>214765389


Nobody except retards wants Dexter to go about killing with psuedo serial killer family members. It's fun for an episode, but it would ruin his character long term. Dexter is supposed to be a lone serial killer, solitary, hiding his true self from society and even those closest to him, unable to feel, unable to show people who he really is. This is the theme they explored over and over in the show, that he cannot be his true self with people, but desiring it. Starting with season 1 where for a few minutes he had a brother he could be open with about his dark passenger, and how it could have continued if Brian would have adopted the code.

>>214765707
Dexter's family superseded being something he uses for cover a long time ago. In fact it happens in the very first season you reference where he kills his biological brother to preserve his relationship with his adopted sister. Family is a massive thing for Dexter and he spends most of the series forging one in different capacities. He kills his lost brother for his new one, he realises he'd rather risk his family learning he's a killer than lose them in season 4 and he spend the remainder of the series doing anything he can for Harrison. The makeshift family he briefly has in season 8 is simply an evolution of that which goes unexplored beyond an episode. And he presumably wouldn't go about killing with any of his family aside from his protege, who could've become a new Dexter in his own right as Dexter's own desire for killing was slowly dissipating. Hannah has no inherent desire for killing, she just doesn't have a problem with it and does it when she feels she has to. Dr Vogel isn't going to be killing anyone either. They all just have open attitudes towards murder to some degree due to varying factors.

>>214764155
Luigi is a hero for killing that piece of shit kike.

>>214758075
If anything Dexter is too moralistic. He never really makes hard choices or ever needs to kill someone that would make him unlikeable.

>>214765981
>He never really makes hard choices
I disagree. He's given one in the very first season
>or ever needs to kill someone that would make him unlikeable.
This is a fair point though. Every time this dilemma is thrust upon him someone else ends up killing them for him.

season 3 is the most unconventional, season 4 is the most straightforward season, and also widely considered the best season.

>>214767630
has the actress never gotten them out? i've tried to find clips but there's nothing

>>214765918
my point is zoomers were okay with killing a technically innocent CEO, so they would surely be okay with Dexter killing murderers in real life. the show treats Dexter like he's a monster that most people would condemn if they found what he really was, when that is the furthest from the truth in the real world.

>>214760257
mr-inbetween is a bad example here desu because its very accurate to how actual crime in Australia (the setting of the show) takes place. In australia criminals are not like american (mainly blacks) to survive you actually need to maintain good relationships with your mates also in the trade, the main character only ever punishes bad people if it benefits him, ie he takes payment to stand over the child killer rapist, and goes after the guy who scammed his mate into suicide for both revenge and for the money. Unlike the punisher mr inbetween has shades of grey because the character is morally bankrupt, he will not go out of his way to hurt someone no matter how evil they are unless he has some type of material gain from it

>>214765981
I finished my rewatch of season 3 today and I'm kind of sad he killed Miguel Prado. He betrayed and used Dexter, was dangerous and a big liability, but in the end he only killed Ellen Wolf, who was kind of a bitch. Makes me sad after all the wholesome hangouts and bonding over justice.

>>214764242
They could have sent him to prison and had him being a threat again in a later season after new evidence was uncovered. At the time all the evidence was pointing towards Doakes so it wasn't really necessary to kill him off. Like Dexter said he was just appear as a mad man.

>>214767923
You see this highlighted in the prison arc, the guy who accidently called another guy a cock sucker is scared shitless and when he asks ray for help basically all he says is "you gotta bash him" even tho thats what he has to do, it was shitty advice because he should know as an experienced criminal that this clear pussy civilian isn't going to hurt anyone. He doesn't go out of his way to protect him or to put in a good word for him, instead he allows him to get bashed and this point is exemplified further when he just walks away when he sees the guy bleeding out in a cubicle. He isn't righteous by any means, everything he does has to have upside for him

It kind of makes sense he used his code so loosely given he now lives in a small town in Alaska and he has very few options, and he no longer works with the police to help him track down killers. Miami was perfect for him. New York is a good alternative.

>>214768049
Aster called Cody a retard in one of the early episodes too

Masuka also used the word "tranny" casually and he wasn't an horrible person for it

>>214765402
>I'm going to kill a guy who who killed people by driving recklessly and used daddy's connections to bail
he also does this in season 1

>>214767968
yes this is a good idea and then he would have reconnected with LaGuerta in season 7 once she has her own suspicions and they would have tried to take down Dexter together

I really don't think that was a moment of foreshadowing. Dexter is decent watching but it's also clearly a series that was written season to season.

why didnt dexter come to a compromise with brian? even if he targets women, surely there should be plenty that fit the code.

>>214770408
Brian perceived Harry's Code as a brake and a limitation on Dexter's real nature (and his as well)
He would have never accepted to abide by it

The photographer in season 5, and also Hannah's dad (he was a cunt but from what I remember, not a killer). I think the kid he kills at the start of New Blood also wasn't a killer.

Don't remember any others. I remember almost none of New Blood and haven't seen resurrection.

>>214770462
I'm not remotely convinced. Blood is a recurring theme in Dexter's entire life. A single drop contrasting with the white dress is just evocative imagery consistent with the show's motifs.

>>214764753
Yes. Walter is an insecure manipulative prick and he deserved to go down.

I would have preferred BB to end by having Walt get caught and try to justify his actions in the context of his cancer and his family. Only to be told that he had numerous fucking outs that he didn't take because he was too fucking proud.

Walt's descent is cool when you're 13 but it's not hard to see he's an insecure man child who regrets the choices he made which led him to his dead end existence.

>>214770566
That was canceled real quick

>>214771189
literally the opposite of quick since it was initially renewed and then cancelled 4 months later

Gonna use this thread to ask.
I decided to give this show a try, got through season 1. I thought it was okay, just short of being a truly great show.
Stopped halfway through Episode 2 Season 2 I think.
I know that a lot of characters end up getting wasted and it ends shittely. Should I continue watching or not bother?

>>214771276
watch until season 4, watch a YouTube recap of seasons 5-8 and New Blood, then watch Resurrection

My own personal season ranking:

2 > 4 > 1 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 3 > 5

>>214771762
Rarely see anyone rate 6 that high. 5 and 6 are the lowpoints of the series for me.

1 = 2 > 4 > 7 > 3 > 8 > 6 > 5

Zoomers are the first generation in 80 years who know they're dealt a shit hand and there's no point of pretending shit's all sunshine and rainbows.

They do bare minimum and they cheat and that's a good thing. That's why they've done more in 5 years than millennials in 20 years. They mog millennials in every department
Weak Gen Z is only American problem. In many European countries Gen Z is the most "redpilled", most resilient, most hateful and tallest/biggest generation in recent generations.

Millenials were a pussy generation of balding numales, the epitome of "my wife's boyfriend" meme. Weak, fragile, bald. It's Millenials that ruined the world for everyone by accepting modern degeneracy and making it common with their 'LE BASED SCOIENCE BITCH' bullshit.

The whole thing with Deb made it so he really couldn't compromise with Biney. Otherwise, he probably would have let his brother do his own thing. Something like that happens in the books where he doesn't die and instead re-appears here and there in sequels.

>>214773699
