Precisely my thoughts. Duke chose his path and was in control of his life. Gary sort of stumbles through life. The pitiful situation he was in seems to be his own doing.P0tt3ry wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 17:35 Duke was always in touch with his demons. He understood the risks and consequences of his actions, but still made the choices he did. I liked this flawed character because he took ownership of his choices.
Gary, well, Gary didn't make choices. Gary just hedonistically drifts from one bad decision to another. He turns his life around but we aren't witnesses to that transformative stage of his life--just to the wild years and the events that occur decades later.

I agree with you. Duke was what he chose to be. Gary was more of a lost soul. I believe he could have chosen a better path for himself. I am glad that he found Duke, but that did not necessarily have to be the case if he just took more responsibility for his actions.

I just want to confront him at a table
And I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes and tell you
You didn't help me make it"
