#i remember being like - wait. he was a nerd. and he was hot. and now he’s the bad guy? but he’s just as hot???#most flawless 180* character turn in modern cinema#sam rockwell#eric knox#charlie's angels#charlie’s angels 2000

All of this,except post-reveal Eric isn't any less of a nerd. He's the ultimate "theather/band kid who decided a STEM career was a better choice because money",considering what we saw from him,lol. Eric is an uber-dramatic software engineer/CEO of the equivalent to Microsoft/Apple/Google/whatever. The latter alone should've clued in that he was evil,but alas.

#charlie’s angels 2000 #eric knox #sam rockwell #one of my favourite villains #tv tropes lists vivian as the vamp/seductress but he's lightyears more capable at the role lol(and this isn't even listed under his folder)#and in a way that seems belieavable beyond in a ''this is a campy movie''#his pre-reveal persona reminded me of marjorie gold in ''the triangle of rhodes''#the apparently mousy and homely but still good-looking subtly charming and intelligent #she was a ''hidden seductress'' to valentine's(a supermodel) more obvious charm #almost everyone thought the love triangle was w/ valentine but it was with marjorie #I don't know if the similarities were intentional but they exist nonetheless (/agatha christie tangent)#''he was a nerd and hot'' was a pretty good description of pre-reveal eric lol he was the definition of adorkable but still good looking an #ripped - him in a tank top after he fucked dylan (nerd and ripped - now I want evil chidi as a honey trap for eleanor lol) (/tgp tangent)#and it seemed eric had some power over vivan both pre and post reveal #when the angels got access to eric's bussiness rival's software but wouldn't hand them said access #vivan freaked out but eric calmed her down saying everything was alright they would deal with everything or whatever #post-reveal eric kissed vivian on the neck right after showing his true colours afaik #this is just speculation but there's no evidence against this interpretation #but the neck kiss happened soon after eric basically lured dylan into a death trap and gloated about it #so it's not a stretch to believe eric used seduction on vivian to at least ''sweeten the pot''#it's 1:40 am here #I'm overanalyzing a campy 2000 movie instead of sleeping and making an overly long post about it in the tags of a gifset #don't @ me #🤡
