green mile question ifk

do y’all think the other guards treatment of Percy was justified?

like he wasn’t good at his job, and infact was spoilt and cruel.

but I’M NOT SAYING THIS JUSTIFIES HIS BEHAVIOUR I JUST THINK ITS AN INTERESTING POV

theirs a bit in the book were percy goes like “well you guys would never give me a chance!”

do y’all think Percy did actually feel that way? Maybe because he was the youngest guard and had to compete with guards who were more experienced he felt intimidated, so acted out like “look at me, I’m so tough” to try and fit in?

ok and edit…I remember hearing a theory was Percy was closeted lgbt, and maybe this could of been part of it, I’m jot gay nor am I a guy so I can’t really comment, but maybe overcomoensating to seem like “one of the guys was part of it? But I’m just citing a theory that he was lgbt, Idk myself, their isn’t really a lot of evidence apart from him majorly projecting with the del thing.

One of the weirdest parts of the mini fandom in the green mile is that there are ppl who ship Brutus Howell with Percy wetmore, even tho the book AND the movie explicitly shows Brutus hating Percy, it even states that In the book, Paul had to stop Brutus from almost killing Percy after dels execution

Percy Wetmore is also Veruca Salt. I will not elaborate.

Every time I watch "The green mile" i forget and then remember again that when William Wharton attacks Dean etc. Percy actually gets elbowed in the face.

to those who don’t think del deserved to die like that; what the fuck is wrong with y’all?? like genuinely what the fuck is going on in your brains? he was a rapist and murdered several people by burning. he also laughed when percy was literally molested. y’all are excusing del being a monster because he had a pet mouse and was called a faggot by percy. the only difference between del and wild bill is that del isn’t a racist. del wasn’t a good person, he was a villian just not to john and the guards. and percy was a closeted gay man that sought reactions from the gaurds, stephen king said so <3

thank you for coming to my ted talk. (i’m gay so i can say the slur)

This is gonna sound weird but Percy is an interesting character.

NO I'M NOT DEFENDING HIM.

He's a well written antagonist.

It's just interesting to see the multiple sides he has and makes you wonder what goes on in his head.

You know, while he's still got something in it.

[buscemifan]

one of my biggest pet peeves in media is cartoonishly evil villains. why are you doing any of this. what do you stand to gain by acting this way. you are just a vehicle for the author to shake their head disapprovingly and say “look at this guy, being mean and creating conflict for my protagonists. messed. up.”

Percy wetmore?

Ok interesting green mile ramble I’ve been stewing in fir a while, but never posted because there was never anyone active.

but to really what extent do y’all think Percy is evil/the bad guy? I’m not defending anything he has done-but delacroix is arguably one of the morally worst characters considering what he did to get into cold mountain (tw for sa). And though not wetting the sponge was cruel, and unnecessary looking at what del did…could it be argued to a extent he kind of deserved it? Plus percy did seem really shaken by it, so he *might* of actually now known what would of happened.

and though I’m not really a percy defender, I do feel like what he did could of been avoided. He was immature and petty but he is like 21 and considering he was young, and seemed to be really immature is it a possibility he might of mellowed out as he was older?

and another point, I don’t think really any of the characters in the green mile, are that morally great. None of them are good guys looking at it objectively.

[angstycrow-chan]

Why does everyone think Percy is a gay closeted man tho😭😭😭

Is it the way he looks? I honestly think most ppl think he's gay bc of the wild bill scene, but that scene makes Wild bill LOOK gay, not Percy

❛  All  right,  you  got  yourself  a  deal,  ❜  Paul  is  surprised  that  Percy  even  has  it  in  mind  to  talk  about  much  of  anything  after  everything  that  happened  to  him  back  on  the  Mile,  but  he's  certainly  glad  to  oblige.  There  is  nothing  he  loves  more  than  an  honest  man,  even  if  the  love  between  the  two  never  seemed  to  exist  prior.

While  he  still  has  his  doubts  about  Percy  and  the  man  he  once  knew  him  to  be,  there  is  something  changed  about  his  current  state  that  stills  Paul  in  his  tracks,  before  any  other  words  leave  him.  Where  once  he  might  have  acted  brashly  and  gotten  ahead  of  himself  in  moments  of  anger  concerning  Percy's  behaviour,  seeing  this  side  of  him  is  something  that  calms  whatever  storm  had  previously  been  residing  within  Paul.

❛  I  was  worried  about  you,  Percy.  Lord  knows  you  never  heard  a  word  like  that  before  from  one  of  us  boys,  but..  all  this  time,  after  what  happened,  I  prayed  for  you,  ❜  he  is  finding  it  easy  to  open  up  about  that,  somehow,  burying  all  the  trouble  between  the  two  of  them  and  paving  the  way  for  something  more  mellowed.
