Stupid to kill off Apollo


He stole the show in 2,3 and 4. Lost me as a fan of the rocky movies as well.....which makes no difference to anyone, I know.

Apollo did not steal show in 2 and 4. he barely in 2 outside of fight scene, in 4 he killed off in first acts. apollo was very goods in 3 but his character run its course, thats why he killed off in 4. nothing else to do with him. story is rocky, paulee and adreean.

rocky movie are great because of rocky. stallone has talent to write characters who nice & friendly, i like to watch them all. just because YOU like apollo most does not mean everyone else do. watch crap creed films if you want all apollo!!

Stallone admitted during the R4 DC editing that he regretted killing Apollo off.

ultimately it was right choice. his character had ran the course by third movie.
