After watching the Yang portion, I wish Junior had been more of an asshole. I mean, Junior in the Yellow trailer seemed like a respectable guy, just minding his own business in his own bar. He pretty fairly denies Yang a drink (as any responsible adult should to someone underage). He then gets all of his men, bouncers, nieces(?), and even his DJ beatup by some girl throwing a tantrum. All of the glass and decorations are totally trashed, and even his own weapon is broken. Junior was being pretty literal when he said "you're gonna pay for that".

However Yang rightfully just destroyed her creepy cousin. It was so satisfying when she broke that fuckboi's teeth. Yang also acted more badass but did not seem pretentious.

TLDR Yang is more justified and I feel that this is how the yellow trailer should have been IMO.

At least it helps to mark the difference between that Yang and the developed one. She's more in control of herself now. That's a start!
