There Has Been So Much Discussion About Charles But Can We Talk About Bruce's Character?
There has been so much discussion about Charles but can we talk about Bruce's character?
Yes I love a good 'bad guy has a soft side and is good deep down' plot as much as the last tumblrina but something about 'good guy with a heart of gold has the potential to be the Worst Villain Ever' hits so good. It's also why I love El from The Scholomance.
When Big Sun called him 'intelligent, strategic, and ruthless,' that could have been such an empty throwaway villain line, but it wasn't because despite the cliché of a villain telling the hero (especially when they're father and son) that he's evil deep down in a showdown being, well, cliché, it has actual weight because Bruce is those things, and he doesn't deny those characteristics or push them away, but in fact he uses those to great effect.
The way he (spoiler) defeats Big Sun by forcing him to dig his own grave is absolutely ruthless genius. A character that's good and ruthless... now that's a mix of character traits with amazing conflicts, and one that we don't see often.

i think that if the brothers sun gets renewed (which i so hope it does) they need to delve deeper into the Boxers or at least their philosophy. because otherwise the show says some very questionable things, like socially. the Boxers are literally doing community outreach, they are building youth centres, they are helping immigrants legally and financially. they are the antagonists so the audience wants to root against them but they are the actual good guys overall
