Why didn't Dodger finish beating up Juice?


He finally gained the upperhand, then stops punching him and starts to cry......wtf? I never understood that scene.

good question, I didn't like Juice, Dodger was finally giving Juice what he deserved then stops and starts crying, whats up with that?

reply

Dodger finally learned that violence isn't everything. Sure, he had the right to be angry, but ultimately trying to solve his problems with violence didn't accomplish anything. Having realized this (and that he's ultimately become the monster he was trying to fight), he breaks down in an emotional and heartwrenching scene.

Either that or the writer needed a way to end that scene but couldn't think of anything else.

He also cries out, Its not worth it too...
As well, he was all filled up with rage too, The girl he liked turned on him, He put the kids in the state home of the ugly... He was just tired of being pushed around

The Bridge is Crossed, so stand & Watch it BURN... You've passed The Point of No Return
