It's more so that we can tell foliage apart from other foliage. We can tell how ripe things are by how green they aren't, we can determine one leaf from another, spot a stinging nettle in a patch of tall grass, find a branch to swing from within its leafy cover.
@@daddymememaster5432 If you weren't so good at differentiating green from other colours, you wouldn't know that. The reason tigers are successful predators despite evolving to have bright orange fur is because most of their prey only has dichromatic vision and can't tell the orange apart from the green. The reason there is only about 5,000 tigers left in the wild now is because we have trichromatic vision and _can_ tell the difference. To a wild boar they're virtually invisible in the grass, to a human poacher... not so much unfortunately.
I always loved how the show framed Malvo as some supernatural being. In exorcism, you don't have the demon's full attention unless you can address it by name. Here, Malvo doesn't show his true face until Gus does exactly that.

@@ozzy541 the thing is people don't get as much attention as certain actors. Like I can name 25 actors better then Tom cruise. But Hollywood has built him up some names ain't as recognised as he is. That's why we call certain actors underrated. As they are not getting as much attention as they should. Like Billy Bob should be a house hold name but isn't.
That role was just too easy for him as he's from the south.. they grow up mimicing north "midwestern" accents for laughs.. "oh doncha know, oofta.. ma's cheesy tatertot casserole lookin forcute".. But he does bring a sort of calm of the storm feeling with subtle expressions.. Hes definitely no Daniel Day Lewis though.
Gus outsmarted him there. Reapproaching him at the police station. Gus deeply regretted letting him go the first time and although this wasn't check mate it was pretty close.
Ro Tyler Malvo was next to unfazed by Gus How would he have known Gus would be close to finding him out. In fact you can see with Malvo’s riddle that he enjoys tormenting the good natured Gus Furthermore back when he stopped the police car Malvo let Gus go because it would cause more harm than good to take him out . Why bring extra attention with a homicide. He couldn’t have known Gus would take such a central role in the whole debacle

@@jflebeaux6660 yes, they did. Dumbass, you seem to have a narrow scope of far back in Human history snakes have been an issue for all Humans. And how evolution works, your non snake fearing people could of inter-bred with people who did evolve to be able to see snakes therefore spreading that trait. A good way to understand evolution is to look at the Giraffe, it has a very long neck to reach otherwise untouched food, they did not evolve to have such long necks because that is what they needed so it is what nature gave them, nature doesn't take sides, the Giraffes with longer necks were able to reach more food as well as the all the food shorter necked giraffes had access to and over an extended amount of time, that trait that let certain giraffes thrive while others struggled became more and more prevalent to the point where shorter necked giraffes were completely bred out. Just like with humans and snakes, Humans that can spot a snake hidden in grass because of a mutation in the eye that let's you see more shades of green or what have you tend to not get bit by snakes anywhere near as much as people without it, long periods of time pass, the trait spreads, people and races migrate and/or integrate with other peoples, the trait spreads even further, more time passes, now Humanity as a whole is better at spotting snakes in grass. It isn't that hard to grasp.
This scene is priceless. You see Gus go through such a huge range of emotions. From exasperation that his boss can't see Malvo for what he is (He's LYING!) to that look of bewildered confusion when he starts to emotionally understand psychopaths can lie and manipulate (as opposed to just knowing this as trivia, the subjective experience is different) to Malvo's grin when Gus says his name and Malvo knows he has an adversary aware of what he is (what good is playing a game if nobody gets you're playing it), and the shades of green reflected in Malvo's glasses when he asks why the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour. In less than 2 minutes you see realistic confusion, exasperation, acknowledgment, excitement and fear ping, ping, ping, ping like dominoes going down. Amazing show.
I never noticed the green in his glasses. But does the show ever answer his riddle? Is that even true that we see more shades of green? I always suspected Malvo as a prankster, just making random jokes for his own amusement and to confuse others.
To answer the question Malvo posed - the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color because photosynthesis makes the default color of foliage green in the vast majority of instances - predators evolved to mimic these colors for camouflage, which became an evolutionary arms race between which side could hide the best versus which side could find what was hiding. He's directly telling the officer "I can lie and manipulate mine and others emotions as well as I can both because it is necessary and because if I couldn't it would be the end of me, I am the predator and they are my prey". Pretty damn gangster. The easier explanation would be he's a snake and calling himself out as one by referencing his ability to hide in the grass before he strikes, and in a weird way respects the officer for calling him out and recognizing this - few ever do, trained or not, and the fact that officer could recognize that is the only reason he's still alive.
I cannot lie, I love his character, and I love how he's such a powerful force to where he can literally get away with murder in the craziest of circumstances
Did anyone spot a technique. Instead of answering a direct question, he answered by saying something that was ordinary" I sure hope you catch those people' statement as continuing as if he hadn't heard the question. People do this all the time, pretend to mishear on purpose, to make themselves innocuous and to be ask such a question, itself was a violation. Parents do it with children. He even went and called him son.I don't know what it is called but it is a technique.
In bridging, you briefly acknowledge the question and bridge to what you want to say instead. And that's for interviews with the media, so there's an audience to contend with who would hear you mishearing or completely ignoring the question.
Malvo is the Snake in the garden of Eden, he is an evil entity , a pure predator of death, he even mentions it in openly a scene in Episode 9 to Molly's Dad ( Lou) (Also Former Detective we find out who oversaw the Sioux falls massacres of 79' (season 2 of fargo), he says ,after eating a piece of pie at Lou's café , "I haven't had a piece of pie like that since the garden of Eden." as he slithers out the door right before molly walks in.
Season 1 has a devil like figure like Lorne which makes it really good but season 2 is one of the best seasons i have ever seen in a tv show, literally perfect in terms of directing,acting,writing, cinematography. Breaking Bad level of quality.
He's just a man of the Lord. A man out of Duluth, he tried to save a local businessman from his own curse and failed. That's not his fault. God bless Frank Peterson.
@@matheuscruz8574 no way, watch better call saul. You will see what he did after Breaking Bad. He works at a donut shop in a mall under the name of Gene Takovic.
Exactly. When Gus said he figured it out in the finale and Malvo says "and?" Gus shooting him was him solving the riddle. That's why Malvo gave him that sinister looking grin before he died.
This is when he realized that this guy is able to fool the law well enough to be above it, he knew at the end of this scene what needed to be done but could not at this point bring himself to think that HE should do it. When Malvo crosses the line with this man's family, that's when he knows what to do.
He was saying “you should’ve known I was a predator when you first laid eyes on me” anything else is on him, he does figure it out at the end when he unloads a .44 magnum on him. Amazing show highly underrated!
Malvo is such a great character and BBT was amazing in the part. He doesn't have an imposing physical presence with his slight stature but you just know not to mess with that crazy terrifying grin.
This is because of their chlorophyll components. Chlorophyll has the property of strongly absorbing the electromagnetic wavelengths of red and blue, so the light reflected back looks green
If the police don't know the name of someone they call them a John doe, unless that person has a nickname then they call them by their nickname. Lorne Malvo is like his nickname so that's what they call him because it separates him from John Doe's.
The pride in his smile when he says his name says more than any word in this scene. I always think that when I see this in the sense that the devil isn’t impersonal in his actions, because if it was then what’s the point of doing evil at all. He knows it’s tormenting him that he KNOWS and saw with his own two eyes his real nature, he peered into the dragon himself and now the torment of no one believing him is that much sweeter. But pride cometh before the fall, and we learn that not even the devil himself is immune to flying too close to the sun.
I googled the question. This was the answer. (The "Green cones" have a peak at 534 nm, but cover almost the entire visible light spectrum. Also the Green cones curve is the closest to the rods curve which also gives more possibilities to create different shades.) This still doesn't answer his question.

@@Halopen94 I have to ask… if you haven’t finished the series why the Frick are you watching clips on RUclips and skimming comments in the first place? That’s a guaranteed way to find a spoiler. That’s like walking into the middle of a gunfight and asking "Hey, why did you shoot me". You really only have yourself to blame here.
@@77jamess That's literally how people start watching a series or movie. I haven't watched it, but saw this clip with a couple of others. Maybe I'll watch it, maybe I won't. But I'll know that Gus killed Malvo. Usual etiquette would have a spoiler alert at the top.
The way he turns at 0:58 ... there is something very inhuman about it. I don't know if that was improvised by Thorton, but it's a briliant touch, that just adds to the very scary persona of Malvo.
Well it takes us back, further, to the reason for eyes in the first place. To see what predator is about to eat us or which predator we are about to eat.
finally a villain that's self aware and just doesn't give a damn, he's no victim he's no rebel he's just bad and enjoys it, and you love watching him he suckers in the viewer like he does his victims in the show. even when he dies we want to see more. That's how you write a villian.
There is an evolutionary reason behind this and also a fundamental thermodynamic principle behind this. Most of complex terestrial lifeforms including humans have been living in an environment which is mostly green in color. Therefore, overtime humans humans developed more sensitivity to the color, green. Also, the blackbody spectrum of the sum peaks at around the wavelength of the color green and green falls in the middle of the visible spectrum. So, there is an overlap in the sensitive regions of different ratinal cones in our eyes. Due to this overlap, we have more sensitivity to green. Side note: Most of the vegetation has the color green because the blackbody spectrum of sun peaks in green.
@@HallowedManhattan That's also BS because proto-sapien diets consist of only 5% of fruit that ripens or spoils when green. Apples and bananas don't account for more than 5% of proto human diets so the idea that our eye evolved to detect ripeness of fruit is BS.
I finished watching Fargo season 1 yesterday, and Billy Bob Thornton was being a BIG weirdo killer!! It was cool to find out humans could see more shades of green than any other color because our scientific monkey ancestors needed to distinguish the predators hiding in the forest... XD And it was funny how literal this weirdo was with everything he said, especially the figures of speech!
I love the dichotomy of his pretending to be a softspoken preacher and leader of a nice church community, you know, him being a literal embodyment of Satan and all.
In reality, we've probably adapted to judge wild fruit on their colour, telling ripes fruit from unripe. Or just generally being able to tell plants apart, seeing as the plants were everywhere around us.
still don't understand why he went through all this trouble at the police station when he could've just walked away, unnoticed. was it just to take the piss out of Gus?
For all those wondering we see green so we can tell the predators apart from the foliage. :)
Lucky that there's so little green predators then
It's more so that we can tell foliage apart from other foliage. We can tell how ripe things are by how green they aren't, we can determine one leaf from another, spot a stinging nettle in a patch of tall grass, find a branch to swing from within its leafy cover.
I always thought the answer was "because it's nature"
I get snakes in the grass kind of vibes
@@daddymememaster5432 If you weren't so good at differentiating green from other colours, you wouldn't know that.

To be fair it''s a small town so it's not an everyday occurrence people like Malvo pass by or the cops having to deal with someone like him

@@Halopen94 I have to ask… if you haven’t finished the series why the Frick are you watching clips on RUclips and skimming comments in the first place? That’s a guaranteed way to find a spoiler. That’s like walking into the middle of a gunfight and asking "Hey, why did you shoot me". You really only have yourself to blame here.
@@77jamess That's literally how people start watching a series or movie. I haven't watched it, but saw this clip with a couple of others. Maybe I'll watch it, maybe I won't. But I'll know that Gus killed Malvo. Usual etiquette would have a spoiler alert at the top.
@@terrismith9095 Ok so don't go into the comments after watching the clip?
How can he lie so easily? People want to see the good in others. By nature we readily see more shades of green.
This music when gus is terrified and arguing about relasing malvo without charges scares me like .. omg something bad will happen to him after that .
Excellent deflection method.
True it's also the reason why night vision displays are made in green.
0:53 "Lorne Malvo!"
You say the Devil's name, he appears.
We see more shades of green than any other because of predators hense malvo being the alpha predator among humans
It's because of how wavelengths work.
Bily Bob what a underrated actors!!
The way he turns at 0:58 ... there is something very inhuman about it. I don't know if that was improvised by Thorton, but it's a briliant touch, that just adds to the very scary persona of Malvo.
😮
Damn
Love Billy 💕
What a Performance ..
Well it takes us back, further, to the reason for eyes in the first place. To see what predator is about to eat us or which predator we are about to eat.
finally a villain that's self aware and just doesn't give a damn, he's no victim he's no rebel he's just bad and enjoys it, and you love watching him he suckers in the viewer like he does his victims in the show. even when he dies we want to see more. That's how you write a villian.
There is an evolutionary reason behind this and also a fundamental thermodynamic principle behind this. Most of complex terestrial lifeforms including humans have been living in an environment which is mostly green in color. Therefore, overtime humans humans developed more sensitivity to the color, green. Also, the blackbody spectrum of the sum peaks at around the wavelength of the color green and green falls in the middle of the visible spectrum. So, there is an overlap in the sensitive regions of different ratinal cones in our eyes. Due to this overlap, we have more sensitivity to green.
Side note: Most of the vegetation has the color green because the blackbody spectrum of sun peaks in green.
Thanks bro, you saved my inner autist from having to look it up.
Chat shit. The colour perception of humans, as descendents of apes, has evolved to detect when fruit is ripe to eat.
@@HallowedManhattan That's also BS because proto-sapien diets consist of only 5% of fruit that ripens or spoils when green. Apples and bananas don't account for more than 5% of proto human diets so the idea that our eye evolved to detect ripeness of fruit is BS.
Ooh, you called a demon by its true name.
What a great line
Billy Bob Thorton would play an amazing dark Riddler from the batman series.
I finished watching Fargo season 1 yesterday, and Billy Bob Thornton was being a BIG weirdo killer!!
It was cool to find out humans could see more shades of green than any other color because our scientific monkey ancestors needed to distinguish the predators hiding in the forest... XD
And it was funny how literal this weirdo was with everything he said, especially the figures of speech!
I love the dichotomy of his pretending to be a softspoken preacher and leader of a nice church community, you know, him being a literal embodyment of Satan and all.
Fun fact that’s why when you look in between 2 mirrors and see the infinite tunnel it’s a tiny of green
In reality, we've probably adapted to judge wild fruit on their colour, telling ripes fruit from unripe. Or just generally being able to tell plants apart, seeing as the plants were everywhere around us.
anyone else notice all the different shades of green in the background walls, windows etc... :P
still don't understand why he went through all this trouble at the police station when he could've just walked away, unnoticed. was it just to take the piss out of Gus?
gregotheus_ Definitely to play with Gus's head. Also cause he saw something in Gus that was similar to what he saw in Lester.
One of Malvo's things was to... play with people. That's it.
His employer provided him with a fake identity in the case he was arrested. What makes you think he could just walk out of a police station?
Also, subtle green set design
I think he's basically saying he lies as a survival tactic
The reason is Nature is Irish and loves St. Paddy’s Day
Negatory, we checked his story - it tracks.
Chilling scene
This was the moment Gus became a Fargo
This cop later FUCKING KILLS HIM IN HIS HOUSE and doesn’t get CHARGED AT ALL
Maybe evil, but that character left an indelible impression on my mind. Too friggin good act.
Because of the configuration of the cones and rods which detect color and send the information to your brain?
