in an action movie was to me? Main lead, who is young and gorgeous and the whitest of whites, oversteps his bounds. He touches a commanding officer. In any other action movie the dressing down would not be this severe (Elba\u2019s adlibbing on this is terrifying\u2026forget kaijus, Raleigh looks more scared by him than anything that crawls out of the breach and half the audience squirmed in chastened sympathy because WOW). And the thing is, Raleigh is right. His initial argument that Stacker is holding back Mako is for all intents and purposes, the correct assessment. He\u2019s RIGHT. But he isn\u2019t in a position to tell that to a commanding officer, especially the way he does. So Stacker puts him back in his place. Raleigh KNOWS he went out of line the minute he touched Stacker and rather than argue or shout \u201cyou know I\u2019m right\u201d or storm off or IGNORE a commanding officer like any other action movie would have the hero do, Raleigh backs down. Stacker doesn\u2019t even let him get away with just the nod and choked back frustration, he makes him VERBALLY back down as well. There is no question who is in charge here. Raleigh is obviously angry and frustrated and still riding the testosterone high of kicking Chuck\u2019s face, but he FREAKIN\u2019 BACKS DOWN LIKE ANYONE WITH SENSE IN THE MILITARY WOULD. It\u2019s always baffled me that main rodeo cowboy hero of every movie can just walk all over rank and command and not pay for it because he\u2019s \u201cspecial\u201d. Raleigh only sort of does this once (and remember, his argument is valid) and he\u2019s immediately reminded that\u2019s not what he\u2019s there for. And he KNOWS because he never complains about it, never goes off and stews about how unfair Stacker is, never holds it against Stacker later. He knows he crossed a line and he belly crawls back across it because it\u2019s all about respect and he overstepped.This is something 9 out of 10 action movies wouldn\u2019t address.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also this is one of the very few movies (actually I can\u2019t think of any other off the top of my hear right now) that treats insubordination in terms of negative consequences. In most action movies it\u2019d be the hero disregarding orders from the higher-ups and going off to do their own thing, which turns out to be the right thing all along because the higher-ups are all a bunch of incompetent empty suits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here? Raleigh and Yancy ignoring Stacker\u2019s orders and going after the boat gets Yancy killed and GD destroyed EVEN IF MORALLY IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. The Hansens ignoring Stacker\u2019s orders and stepping in the help Cherno and Crimson Typhoon almost gets them both killed and Striker taken offline\/almost destroyed EVEN IF MORALLY IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not even a well our sacrifice was worth it thing, because we never find out what happened with the boat that Raleigh and Yancy were trying to protect (probably nothing good), and the Hansens can\u2019t do anything for their fellow crews, the only thing they accomplish is endangering the shatterdome\u2019s most valuable weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Basically reasonable approaches to why The Hero being an insubordinate ass actually leads to disastrous results sometimes. Also never ignore Stacker\u2019s orders, literally nothing good comes out of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>vrabia: verysharpteeth: Do y\u2019all know how striking this scene in an action movie was to me?
