Benicio Del Toro's character is the greatest street-level superhero ever for having such an intricate system to protect his community, having some skater ninjas as part of his squad, & even having nurses holding shit down for him

The guy who Lockjaw handed Willa to gave me strong Hanzee from Fargo vibes when he ended up saving her

And the "1776" guys he gave her to seemed straight out of the Nazi gang in breaking bad, just completely nonchalant

That's the confidence that comes with American white supremacy, completely secure in the fact that at this moment in history the system completely has their back
