OOC: Thoughts on Clay
After seeing The Losers a second time, here are my thoughts:
- My Clay is not sarcastic enough. He has a dry sense of humor and a pretty quick wit. I should work on this.
- that said, I think it's easier for him to be sarcastic with friends, the team, than it is with strangers.
- He's a man of few words and appears to live mostly in his own head. He's a thinking soldier as much as he is a hands on guns and fists soldier.
- The Losers are his family and trusts them implicitly. He's hunting Max for the death of the kids, but also to get the lives of his team back.
- He considered Roque dead from the moment he betrayed them, but he was probably the Loser Clay was closest to. He thought he'd have Roque after everything was over, most likely considered him his brother. His betrayal severed those ties immediately, mostly because Roque sold out the team and nothing pisses Clay off more. He had no trouble killing him and no trouble walking away from his body.
- As they kept repeating over and over in the movie, he's got a weakness for women. Crazy women especially. One shot him in the leg and another blew up his car, though he claims he didn't sleep with her. Aisha overheard this.
- That being said, I don't think Aisha used it against him on purpose. In the first sex scene, they're having fun, flirting and laughing and learning about each other. There's a playful note to it all. In the second scene, it's a little more serious. She looks genuinely surprised when she finds out he went in. He looks genuinely disappointed when she disappears. Their feelings for each other don't appear to be a game.
- Even after everything comes out, he seems inclined to still care about her. He really looks like he's sorry about hurting her, not about killing her dad, just that it hurts her. They're also staring at each other a lot at the soccer game considering they're supposed to kill each other. And he's sitting awfully close.
- The man is out for revenge. No, really, he is. Even when he thought his team was breaking out, he was still going to go after Max. There's a little tunnel vision to his personality because the mission is how he defines himself. Without the Army, he lost a lot of his identity. He reclaimed it by the end because the mission to kill Max made him feel like a leader, like a good guy again and he really needs to be a good guy. Even if he's a bad guy.
- Goddamn it I need the comics to flesh out my picture of him. Amazon, hurry your ass up!
Thoughts? Opinions? General laughter at my obsession?
