"Mr. Robot" Season 4 Official Thread
- Thread starter hex
- Start date
Thats the point?
I'm late as fukk responding to this.
Anyway, no. Because in the flashback last season when he's in the theater with his father, and his father collapses....Elliot sits down next to an empty seat and says "shh, the movie is about to start" to no one. So Mr. Robot was there since his dad started molesting him.
Not to mention in the same scene, Elliot's dad said "look, I've made mistakes, I'm sorry" and Elliot told him "you're just sick"....it wasn't the cancer he was talking about.

Yall way too critical of that last episode. It was greatness.
Vera ain't a ninja. He was in the heat of the moment and that was completely believable. Krista didnt even go for the head it's not like they made her an assassin just a person who realistically had a hand to play.
We know who vera is, it's not like he's gonna become a super witty individual. He's a gangster who takes far too many hallucinogens and believes he's on a spiritual journey.
The reveal was fantastic and anyone shytting on it just bytchin

It makes complete sense. The majority of individuals with DID have been sexually abused. The seeds have been planted all throughout the show. You may not like that the main character got molested, but the signs are clearly there

Reaching. She was a scared woman in a situation where a weapon was near her. Anyone can stab a dude in the back. She didnt even go for any automatic killshots she was just hoping it would take him and it did. Vera getting caught up in the moment and setting down the knife was such a dumb mistake. But its consistent with his character that he would underestimate someone he thought he "owned"
On episode 6. Why couldn't Elliott lie to her and tell her she was drugged. 
Krista not saying she's a therapist
3 women in hostage situations
Ep 7.
I want to see Rami act in the Mr.Robot scenes. How intense would that be?!
Mr.Robot needs to drop the Dark Army business on Vera. Show these guys what the real game is.
Yo. Wtf. Wow. Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. It all makes sense now. Wow. I feel betrayed. What a story. I'm devastated.
Had to replay that last minute. Been waiting for that.
Someone complained on here about not liking the build up, the horror score, etc but I dig the way the show intentionally uses campy tv cliché juxtaposed with dark realities. People coping with real issues are the monsters of this horror flick. That is art.

The youtube clip above shows the kid seated around a table with four chairs. I think that means there are FOUR personalities. The kid is one of them, plus Elliot, Mr. Robot, and the 3rd one we're waiting for.
What does it even mean to "run an island"? I'm glad that they "lampshaded" that that's a dumb idea, but we're supposed to think Vera is a threat and not stupid so I still think that part of the writing is a bit weak. His goal is to be some kind of cartoon Kingpin?.Is he going to be Issac Hayes from "Escape from New York"?
I think the whole "Island" comparison/metaphor is doubly stupid. Vera says he ran one island, and now he wants to run another by running "The Five Boroughs". But if he ran DR he would only be running HALF an island, and if he were running The Five Boroughs he'd be running two whole islands, a part of another really big island, and a part of mainland North America. Running "AN island" wouldn't work in either case. Looks like Esmail might not have a very good grasp of Caribbean OR American geography.
Reminds me of the trailer for the "21 Bridges" movie where they're like "We have to shut down the island!!!". Whoever came up with that
It's always funny to me how NY is so important to the media industry in general, but TV writers consistently fail to understand anything about the basic arrangement of the city at all. Its seems that all TV writers simply don't know the difference between "Manhattan" and "New York". Imagine telling the average TV writer that Brooklyn is on the same island as "Long Island".
Nobody would EVER refer to NYC as "THE ISLAND" in any context.
Vera is a psycho meth head. His delusion isn't realistic. It motivated him. I get it we want it to make sense but he's a meth head. If he was thinking straight, we wouldn't be where we are.
I'll agree he he missed an oppurtunity for a better goal but that wasn't his purpose. That's why I think his goal isnt too important, what's important is his relationship with Elliott.
The character comes full circle. It explains everything about him. Great reveal hiding in plain sight.

I agree that Mr Robot kind of "lampshaded" that when he pointed out how stupid the plan was. My problem is that we're supposed to see Vera as a threat. Making him out to be some kind of idiot is a little at odds with the fact that he's supposed to be smart enough to manipulate Elliot.
I guess you can say he only spouts out stuff about "running the island" when he's actively on drugs, and he comes up with his plans during the moments when he's sober.
I get it blood .....just not feeling it
Will continue to watch this great show tho

Emotional intelligence doesn't have to align with intelligence in other areas like criminal intelligence.
Kinda like how R. Kelly is "smart" enough to manipulate some women into being his sex slaves and shytting in buckets and not leaving unlocked houses but literally can't read.
I'm not trying to bring that argument in here, just wanted to use it as an example
True. I always saw Vera's threat as being unpredictable, violent and obsessed with Elliot. Jokes on him cause Vera wishes he was White Rose.
I recently learned a screenwriting concept, character archetypes and their foils. Vera represents a lot. But I won't get into it right now.
