What do you call someone that lends money?

A loan shark.

Who loaned money to Crystal Blue Meth?

Use your head.

>tfw you would fuck a shark

Yes he was a shark. He was a naturally violent man, just waiting for a reason.

>>80552215
>Unironically what did he mean by this?
You're too stupid to live

He was a scorpion that was trying not to be a scorpion, but it was in his nature to always be one

Kid was wrong, Driver was a good shark

That's about how the bad guys are always ugly in kid's show. Gosling's character is cute and seems trusty, but he has done stuff too.

A shark is believed to be naturally a killing machine. So therefore they can't be good because it's not in their nature.

There's a story about a frog and a scorpion.

The story goes that a scorpion needs to cross a river so he asks for the help of a frog to get across. The frog at first refuses because he believes the scorpion would sting him and kill the frog. However the scorpion says if he did that, then the scorpion would sink and drown; killing them both. So the frog trusts the scorpion, tries to cross the river, and then is stung. As they are both about to die the frog asks why did the scorpion doom them both? To which the scorpion replies; it's in my nature.

The driver is the scorpion (as seen on his jacket), and the 2nd half of the movie is how he doesn't just walk away but goes kill the other guys. He is naturally a killing machine, and despite doing it for people he cares about; he isn't redeemable because "there's no good sharks".

I guess I should have used another image to express my realization

I thought the shark was supposed to be the loan sharks (Nino and the guy who stabbed him)
goose is supposed to be the frog not the scorpion

>>80552858
Kids a racist mofo

>>80552729
slut

How could a remorseless killing machine possibly be compared to the frog?

>>80558481
Scorpion on the back innit

Its basically a reflection of what his inner monologue must have been at that point in the film. Hes questioning the morality of the mobsters in relation to his own. He does bad things but hes not a bad guy. He realizes that the same isnt true of them. His realization that "there are no good sharks" is a turning point for his character. If you swim with them long enough you will become one. Its basically his turn away from selfishness and towards heroism.

>>80558070
Unironically made me think.

I initially assumed that the driver acted like the frog, rolling the thugs around every now and then, and the jacket was supposed to function as a reminder (to others, if nothing else) that he could very much act like the scorpion, too, if needed be.

>tfw so divorced from common sense that I see the MC as chaotic neutral rather than evil

>>80552215
He was watching West Side Story obviously.

But he is chaotic neutral
