gh3y 0ver. enjoy your wall
carl acted completely right.
'enemy soldier' coming at you. you tell him to drop his weapon. he advances and tries to hand it to you. tell him to drop his weapon again. he takes another step forward. you drop him.
The mechanics of the story and the juxtapositions the narrative is establishing are at odds with your very real world view of this situation.
We get it bro --you hate Carl
I like the character for the ironic storytelling rather than because I'm trying to consider his decisions in a spontaneous, real life context.
Well developed characters sometimes make bad moral decisions to heighten the tension and drama.
Calm down, man. I don't like Carl that much either
/me wonders when one-eyed Carl is going to show up

They should have brought back T-Dawg for this picture.
If that's what they were trying to convey, they failed miserably. It did not look like a morally ambiguous situation at all. It looked like the cliched approach slowly, till you get close enough to disarm the guy pointing the gun at you and gain the upper hand. I was thinking "he's closing in shoot him! You're a kid, he's trying to take advantage of you!" Looked very obvious.
If they wanted to convey a mistake they should have written that scene better.
I still think Carl would have shot the kid even if he dropped the gun like he was told to.
Carl had that look in his eye the whole episode. He was out for blood
He needs to prove to Beth that he's a man. He's a man who can protect her better than her last boyfriend did.
I didn't get that feeling from that scene.
You got the feeling he was surrendering?
yeah. You ever get a cop draw on you and you just freeze up, out of fear?
