Malvo is literally the perfect villain. I love him so so much (as a character obvi lol) like everything about him is so chaotic evil and I love it. I love that he’s not motivated by anything than “bc I can”
The show hints pretty heavily that he's Satan or at least a Satan/Mephistopheles figure, always tempting ordinary people to do evil and generally adding to the quotient of chaos and evil in the world. He even says, after eating some of Lou's apple pie, "I haven't had pie this good since the garden of Eden." Then of course there's his name, Malvo, reminiscent of "malevolent" as well as the Shakespearian name Malvolio ("Evil-Willed").

Oh, I thought Colin Hanks was there for Billy Bob's shots but when the camera is turned on Hanks on location, BB wasn't present for that. That's why Hanks said, for the shots outside, he committed to memory what Thornton did and how he delivered the lines the day in the greenscreen studio.
I always saw Gus as a good and just man. What he does in the end is a good and just thing, And he is more like his father-in-law at the end, Able to step up and ensure his family will be safe.
10:36 - "quote: "it almost seems a bit supernatural". It certainly does - given the fact that they almost have him and within the span of FEW SECONDS a SNOWSTORM comes down - so heavy that you cannot really see more than 5 feet ahead of you, which obviously helps the most "intelligent" of predators (deemed to be at least!) - the WOLF (i.e. Malvo!) to get the situation back under his control - the true predator that thrives even in the toughest of conditions. He just "melts into the background", only to strike unseen ...in the end - causing even one cop to shoot at another one.
I just Finished watching season one. When Malvo made the 'Garden of Eden' joke i literally thought his the devil for a second. Even the timing of him leaving that retournant just the moment the cop arrived felt just too perfect to be a coincidence. The way they sent him out tho was ridiculous. They made him make a mistake that contradicts his character, that he himself would never do in those circumstances just for him to get injured so some irrelevant character deal the final blow. Great character.
Actually it makes sense, in context of the seasons message. 1. The whole point of Malvo is that he is a predator who preys on the weak, Malvo’s greatest mistake was thinking that Lester was still prey, whereas lester had become a predator thanks to lorne the irony of that was Lorne’s corruption of Lester was meant to destroy him, Lorne is shown to keep recorded conversations of the people’s whose lives he has corrupted and ruined, loving to hear their desperation and final moments He thought that he was setting lester up to be his next victim, instead Lester became a predator himself and put forward a trap... and lorne made the fatal mistake of not realizing that, leading to him being badly wounded which spelt his doom (the same way he explains the story of the be a caught in a trap that chawed tis els off, spelling its death) again you have to remember the last time Lorne saw Lester was when he was still a panicked and desperate person, he didn’t see his transformation or his craftiness up to that point. He still thought he was dealing with a loser. 2. Having Lorne killed by Gus was important to the story of him and gus going back to the encounter they had at the police precent where he told him the riddle of the shades of green Lorne was a predator, a predator that Gus had realized, and one that he had seen in the past get out/lie himself out of arrest and trouble Gus wasn’t going to let him do that again, not with how dangerous he was, and furthermore the answer to the riddle was when dealing with a predator like Malvo...you have to kill them. Malvo’s end comes from underestimating a fellow predator, and at the hands of the one of the moral centers of the first season, who wasn’t intimidated that time and knew exactly what he had to do to stop Malvo’s evil. Gus is not irrelevant, he’s the moral center of the show, molly is the cop through and through, she is the justice seeker and the thing that keeps the truth alive, but Gus is the moral center of the show, he’s the opposite to Malvo, and he represents the good and decent side of humanity, the order of society, that stands in rebuke of Malvo’s chaotic evil and dark view of humanity and nature. Which is why its guy who kills Malvo good and ordered society triumphant over chaotic indifference and evil
@@mckenzie.latham91 The message of Fargo s1 is not “good will triumph over evil”. That’s incredibly simplistic and untrue, also Fargo has consistently shown itself to have more nuance than that. Malvo kind of won. He acted like the devil, turning people into monsters using his own words and tools. And after getting caught by what was bad luck for the purpose of the story doesn’t help the idea that good always triumphs evil. I mean Malvo had probably killed (or gotten others to kill) hundreds up to that point. Either way, his last act involved doing what he loves best, turning a man who could’ve just arrested him into someone who’d put like 6 shots in the head of a defenseless wounded man. There’s tons of symbolism caked throughout everything but there’s no way the message is something to mindnumbingly simple and generic. I’d be disappointed if it was
@@liminalcriminal_ I think the theme of Malvo in particular is that he SEEMS nearly supernatural or unbeatable to “prey” humans, hence the hints that he might literally be the devil, but we see at the end he is merely an apex predator human. Terrifying and violent, yes, but not invincible. Predators ultimately need to be nearly perfect to survive since they’re engaging in risky violence constantly. Sure, they almost always win… but they have to do it every day, and if they slip up once they’re toast. Lester isn’t Malvo’s match, and Gus most certainly isn’t, but Lester becomes tricky and a bit lucky enough to get the quick drop on Malvo and wound him, and Gus becomes smart enough to sense Malvo is in the Cabin, and, having lost his innocence, waste no time killing him in cold blood. If you’re still going through life innocently, that sort of predatory DOES seem somewhat supernatural. As for good triumphing over evil, it’s never ever that simple in Cohen Bros stuff. The first season of Fargo had pretty typical Cohen Bros philosophy, especially a sort of “what if we set no country for old men in the Fargo universe” vibes. Good vs evil isn’t clear cut, and good most definitely does not always triumph. Violence and morality is quite random and chaotic. Good people get hurt for no reason all the time. And violence ultimately ends up splashing back on nearly everybody involved, it’s an u controllable chaotic fire. In Fargo, both the movie and the show, at least the bad guys all get what’s coming to them eventually, but many of the good people are killed in the process. Anyway, this is a fantastic season of TV storytelling and it is in no way weird we’re having a long comment conversation about it years later.
So that very first shot of Malvo in the car, is poretty similar to the first scene in "Goodfellas" ...with that eerie red light glowing over the road from the tail-lights...except instead of three guys in the car we have just that one "guy" - driving... (...proving he even is a "guy" and not the freaking devil ...riding into a small town to create chaos and mayhem)... His ability to create CHAOS just BY USING WORDS is astonishing.
And you can see many scenes about walking out from different shadows before killing. Or man stand at different shadows . This is one of the theme of this season. And somehow Leister can distinguish quickly. And Leister knows answer that even FBI agent doesn't know. Leister has high iq .
I was mortified that gus a man that shot another cop ( his soon to be wife ) ended up killing Malvo ??!! On another note malvos suit in the elevator execution scene was so unique, just like him.
That's just Billy Bob. He loves to f--- with people and get in their heads. It's not conducive to any one character. That's what makes him so entertaining.
Idk if you watched it by now but it is worth noting that, while S1 suffers it from the least, it's still got that Breaking Bad quirk where it includes uninterrupted mundane and uncomfortable scenes (and characters, Lester in particular) whose only purpose is stretching the tension and adding what some would call realism.
They're talking like they thought of the bad haircut=scary contract killer all by themselves instead of lifting it directly from No Country For Old Men
I loved the character, but are they intentionally hiding or ignoring the obvious Anton Chigurh references? Apex predator, speaks in riddles, bad haircut with the exact motif... I mean, the list goes on. Why would they act like they don't even know who Anton is?
Season 2 is great. I didn't like season 3 during my first run but on my second watch, I liked it too. Season 4 is okay. But I think it's the weakest of all.
Well, in some way. But come to think of it - no, he doesn't won at all. Cos, Gus returned home to his daughter, his beloved wife and became a public hero. And Lorne just died alone in the middle of nowhere.
We must disagree with Noah when he affirms that Malvo wins in the end. He does not. To kill the wolf is not to become the wolf, but to protect the sheep. We are all sheep and shepherd, it depends on the situation. Gus had the chance to stop evil and chose omission. Now, facing evil, he chooses to stop it for good. He does not lose a part of himself, but he becomes more of himself, he is Gus now -- majestic, exalted, as the name Augustus means. He is not grimly anymore, he is Gus.
They let you know through subtlety that the house always wins. It's what I don't much care for in shows that frame the police side as the _right_ side. Call me antisocial Only I'm aware that human relationships are not static like that and people earn trust. I mean the guy became a mailman in the end because he couldn't hang. And I tell you this much, evil is not so easily identifiable Not too many of us would know how to address it should we see it. This is because we innately desire conference and give people the benefit of the doubt. That do unto others golden rule comes down to respecting that other people get to make their own decisions Gus had never been confronted with the alternative before. It would be like arriving at a bus stop to see someone roll off the ceiling telling you that's his turf. The only real option to vocalize your confusion would be to rebuke him over the absurdity/abnormality. Even then there's still a piece of you that expects him to reason it for himself and make the adjustment You don't look to curb evil, it's not in your wheelhouse. This is why Jesus told his disciples that certain spirits do not yield beyond your ability to consult a higher authority and discipline the self. They are constantly on the lookout for lack of self control that they can inhabit At the end of the day, I'm not convinced that blue bloods make strides to influence your awareness. They'd rather you depend on them to resolve conflict and this is what Grimly ended up being chastised for. Inaction makes the force look like they don't have control. I wonder in that case whether or not their HR department knew how to field for the right stuff. You would think that if they ask you to perform duties they also circulate aptitude tests that sharpen your awareness. Why does it take a dance with the devil to test an officer's mettle? We ought to have better resources than that
i hate behind the scenes it ruins the story. As far as im concerned Judy Garland is still young and Robin Williams is a happy man. I Dont care about personal S***. They get my money and time so give me my shows and peace out. See you on the other side.
Hanks is a horrible actor. Should of not won in Season 1. Kinda gross, highly unrealistic that would happen. Didn't get that arch. But l understood the narrative of our times. Infatuation with weak men. Somehow they get the actress and beat the "manly" man. When it's wildly fantastical. But human puppets love Kung Fu.
tf are you talking about? Hanks' character Gus started out as a wimp. But then he grew out of it towards the end. It took him years to do that. How is him killing Malvo unrealistic? Malvo returning was threatening his and his family's existence. And the woman didn't "beat up" the man physically. She was just smarter than rest of her comrades. Unlike most modern shows, this show doesn't have stupid woke BS just for the sake of it.
how to tell us you have no balls (or brains) without actually saying it lol the “man’s” man commenters on the internet are hilarious you can tell they piss more feminine then the people they bitch about.

I loved the character, but are they intentionally hiding or ignoring the obvious Anton Chigurh references? Apex predator, speaks in riddles, bad haircut with the exact motif... I mean, the list goes on. Why would they act like they don't even know who Anton is?
His hair lol
Season 1 what episode?
Why in the actual fuck is Noah Hawley wearing a fleece sweater underneath his suit jacket?
It's Lesters coat.
Because when he wears it over the jacket people make fun of him
Great episodes
I like how the numbers actor is unaware that his character is infact referred to by name.
After season 1 i gave up on the rest tbh
The rest is good and it's neat how each season ties together
Season 2 is great. I didn't like season 3 during my first run but on my second watch, I liked it too. Season 4 is okay. But I think it's the weakest of all.
now trying making it interesting without all the rules the REAL editors have to abide by...like NO SPOILERS or BLOOD.
I think Varga was better. Malvo reminds me of Anton Chigurh 2.0
interesting
Season one the natural world, two the supernatural, three the spiritual
wtf so malvo won??
Well, in some way. But come to think of it - no, he doesn't won at all. Cos, Gus returned home to his daughter, his beloved wife and became a public hero. And Lorne just died alone in the middle of nowhere.
they literally was mad inspired by no country for old men
yea that's the idea behind the fargo show
We must disagree with Noah when he affirms that Malvo wins in the end. He does not. To kill the wolf is not to become the wolf, but to protect the sheep. We are all sheep and shepherd, it depends on the situation.
Gus had the chance to stop evil and chose omission. Now, facing evil, he chooses to stop it for good. He does not lose a part of himself, but he becomes more of himself, he is Gus now -- majestic, exalted, as the name Augustus means. He is not grimly anymore, he is Gus.
They let you know through subtlety that the house always wins. It's what I don't much care for in shows that frame the police side as the _right_ side. Call me antisocial
Only I'm aware that human relationships are not static like that and people earn trust. I mean the guy became a mailman in the end because he couldn't hang. And I tell you this much, evil is not so easily identifiable
Not too many of us would know how to address it should we see it. This is because we innately desire conference and give people the benefit of the doubt. That do unto others golden rule comes down to respecting that other people get to make their own decisions
Gus had never been confronted with the alternative before. It would be like arriving at a bus stop to see someone roll off the ceiling telling you that's his turf. The only real option to vocalize your confusion would be to rebuke him over the absurdity/abnormality. Even then there's still a piece of you that expects him to reason it for himself and make the adjustment
You don't look to curb evil, it's not in your wheelhouse. This is why Jesus told his disciples that certain spirits do not yield beyond your ability to consult a higher authority and discipline the self. They are constantly on the lookout for lack of self control that they can inhabit
At the end of the day, I'm not convinced that blue bloods make strides to influence your awareness. They'd rather you depend on them to resolve conflict and this is what Grimly ended up being chastised for. Inaction makes the force look like they don't have control. I wonder in that case whether or not their HR department knew how to field for the right stuff. You would think that if they ask you to perform duties they also circulate aptitude tests that sharpen your awareness. Why does it take a dance with the devil to test an officer's mettle?
We ought to have better resources than that
D-Do you think I'm ugly?
Nooo NOOO
B-but wh-
Can you please turn around again? Thanks. We are fine just filming your back.
O-okay :(
Most men are colour-blind to red and green. What are you talking about??
"Most men" hahaha
i hate behind the scenes it ruins the story. As far as im concerned Judy Garland is still young and Robin Williams is a happy man. I Dont care about personal S***. They get my money and time so give me my shows and peace out. See you on the other side.
Just...don't watch it then, man.
He he, your funny dude!
That's fair.
this IS the other side tho...
Hanks is a horrible actor. Should of not won in Season 1. Kinda gross, highly unrealistic that would happen. Didn't get that arch. But l understood the narrative of our times. Infatuation with weak men. Somehow they get the actress and beat the "manly" man. When it's wildly fantastical. But human puppets love Kung Fu.
*Arc* thank you UA-cam
tf are you talking about? Hanks' character Gus started out as a wimp. But then he grew out of it towards the end. It took him years to do that. How is him killing Malvo unrealistic? Malvo returning was threatening his and his family's existence.
And the woman didn't "beat up" the man physically. She was just smarter than rest of her comrades. Unlike most modern shows, this show doesn't have stupid woke BS just for the sake of it.
@@ButtersCCookie Are you completely dense?
how to tell us you have no balls (or brains) without actually saying it
lol the “man’s” man commenters on the internet are hilarious
you can tell they piss more feminine then the people they bitch about.
Malvo is stronger and smarter than any women in the story
True detective and Fargo
Just watch the first season and STOP
don't go beyond the first season
