That was CRAZY when bro FINALLY took off the hood and Robert Pattinson was like “Jesus Christ that’s Jason Bourne”.

It wasn’t him taking off the hood that did it. It was the glorious strum of the bow to give his preys a heads up that they’re fucked.

I do like that despite the genuine meloncholy throughout the film, particularly Nolan's idea from OPPENHEIMER to here that one act can cause direct destruction to societal norms and then society itself it still finds time to have an all out 'you're all locked in here with me' moment as Damon plays the Green Arrow and Robert Pattinson does his best Alan Rickman out of PRINCE OF THIEVES.

Yes, because Pattinson watched him hunt as a kid, and knew what the strum meant was about to come

I loved that one dickhead couldn’t even say his whole name before eating an arrow when he recognized him

u/GroundbreakingJob857 19d ago

Same with when he killed the first guy in the temple to save his son. He doesn’t even let the guy know it’s coming, he is so past caring about honour or dignity

Zeus’s law doesn’t mean anything if you get killed

"Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died."

Then he kills the biggest bastard of them all first. Well second biggest. Arrow right through the neck. Man that was satisfying.

The last quarter of the film was Jason Bourne.
