      @@mattlawrence1932 explain your theory? Cause I’m referring to the actual storyline. GTA story doesn’t compare to SOA imo. No shit they don’t have cars and present day things. Which is why I said a “present day red dead story”. A story of a good man caught in the middle of his gang and mess of shit and how he’s loyal to a fault… more comparable to rdr2 tbh

    Jax Teller is also a walking tragedy. Nothing but pain and misery followed this man. The pain that this man endured throughout the entire series was inhuman. This club destroyed him and everything he held dear. It took away his father, his mother, his brother, his best friend, associates, and the love of his life. By the end of the series, he was nothing more than a bag of bones.

    • @matt0771
      @matt0771 Рік тому +17

      And in trying to change the club for the better the only thing he did was that he became the man he hated most. Just like his father, he became the poison of the club both J.T and Jax knew that and that’s why they went out the way they went out. Some of the most beautiful writing Ive ever seen and one of the most criminally underrated shows of all time

    • @anthonycampos8057

      @matt0771 you have to remember, there were three Jax's in this series. There was Jax pre Opies death, there was Jax post Opies death, and there was Jax post Tara's death. Opies death unleashed his inner fury and Tara's death was the fatal blow to him. All of season 7, he seemed like a guy who was bleeding out.

    This video... brought me to tears because Jax Teller may be a tragic character, but the most outstanding protagonist character of all shows I have ever seen. Other shows have awesome protagonists, but Jax was crafted so so well. I will never forget seeing how season 3 ended because of Jax's brilliant mind at work. I was in shock when i saw him take his throne as President. Seeing him loss Opie was just tragic and seeing Tara lifeless and bloody on the ground broke my heart. And nonetheless he still wanted to make things right for his boys and his club, even at the very end. Thank you so so much for making this wonderful and low down of Jax Teller with this video .

    I think we all forget how smart Jax is. Just with little details he’s able to figure stahl out for not having info in season 2. While he does have anger issues. He slowly becomes more and more ruthless and cunning. He’s a love child of clay and Gemma. He only had the morals of his father till each death hit him. From season 4 onwards the guy had died honestly

    Three things really brought me into this show:
    1. Charlie Hunnam's convincing portrayal of Jax Teller. Definitely one of my favorite instances of a Brit playing an American; others would include Hugh Laurie as Greg House, Idris Elba as Stringer Bell, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange
    2. The fact that Jax happens to be a high school dropout
    3. In the Japanese dub, he's voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa

If you ride, you know the west coast is alot differant then the east. But what happens there come here anyway. When i started back in the early. 70s , it was about riding free and being brothers, it sadens me to see whhat it comes to. To many polatics and whos badder and fighting. One day this country is gonna fall ,and we need to bond together for the good of all. Have alot more to say but this isnt the place.

    Damn i never thought about that, but that Juice betrayel was the thing that gave Jax the idea and was the stone that brought it rolling, to take black members, shows some respect for Juice from Jax
    He was a traitor, but Jax understood from where it came.
    You could say that Juice left a legacy in SAMCRO, that he will never know.

    The video of Tara being killed by Gemma is brutal

    Agreed with most of this brother however, Season 3 was amazing specially the ending.

    It’s been 10 years since this show ended, I think it’s time for a sequel series. Showing Abel as a club member and Thomas as a doctor following in his mother’s footsteps. I know this shits on Jax’s sacrifice but it would call back to Gemma handing the ring to Abel telling him his future is the club.
    Thoughts ?

      I’m sure you meant 10* years but the creator has said before that he did plan for a spin off/sequel about Abel and Thomas! 😊

    I understand why many people saw Jax as “wishy washy” or “flip flopping”. They’re coming from bio-family and legit world. Many people that have strong, loving (even just decent) bio-family bonds don’t understand the chosen family connection. You can see that when a spouse will regularly choose to side with their bio-fam vs their spouse.
    Someone connected to their bio-fam needs to understand that that’s a choice. How one’s family comes together doesn’t matter as much as how one chooses to keep it together.
    Growing up in any type of “alternative” lifestyle can be hard to leave. Growing up being expected to take over a family business and you want to do something else is a difficult choice to make. When you grow up in a lifestyle that crime is normal and that’s how y’all survive then leaving becomes even harder. Thus knowing you want out and making that transition isn’t as simple as telling your family and starting your new career. He wasn’t flipping so much as he wasn’t moving forward on a straight path. There were curves, forks, crossroads thus sometimes he had to go back and try a different route
