My favourite character - Tommy the Asexual Loner (SPOILERS)

I wasn't expecting to like this Flick when i first saw it a few years ago. Streaming this right now and i still think that Tommy is more likeable than Brendan. Nick Nolte's character was likeable as well, but it really wasn't about him, he was a supporting character.

As a Christian i obviously disliked some of the blasphemous dialogue coming out of Tommy's mouth, but because of this character's background, i understand why he doesn't believe or doesn't want to know anything about Jesus, not saying it's right, just saying i get it.

As a loner myself i can relate to the fact that Tommy is a loner who is fine being one, he doesn't give a damn what other people think and he doesn't take any crap from anyone especially from his brother.

I called him "Asexual" because that's what this character is, it isn't a bad thing, i'm Asexual and it's one of the most freeing things in the world not being tied emotionally to someone. Tommy is obviously Asexual because the writers didn't give him a girlfriend, he didn't show any interest in having one, he was all about training and getting the money for his dead best friend's widow.

I loved the scene where he met with Brendan at the beach at night and Tommy told Brenden how it is, he didn't sugarcoat things, he just told it like it is.

Tommy was not in the UFC for the fame and he wasn't even in it for the money, like i said earlier it was for his friend's widow and her kids. Tommy didn't have any walk out music during the live events, he skipped press interviews, he was down to earth and didn't need any of that glitz and glamour.

I disliked it when Tommy cussed his dad out really badly at the Casino, it's understandable that he couldn't stand his old man, but saying those things?! What's the point? the damage has already been done, if he really didn't want anything to do with his father he wouldn't have turned up on his doorstep, he would have rather slept at a men's shelter.

I was disappointed that the movie made Tommy lose the fight with Brendan at the end, every time i watch it i always wish they'd have changed that scene.
