In the film they make eric look like a tough love kind of trainer. In the book he is a psychopath. If you like crazy warriors, read some chapters with eric in them.
@@gregthefishburger8270 Dude, compared to the book calling him a "tough love kinda trainer" is literally the best description you can give to the movie adaptation of him. Eric is a freaking monster in the books, and he's nowhere near as attractive as Jai Courtney in my mind.
I really love the scenes that showcase the rivalry between Four and Eric particularly the scene where Four says "Lucky for you, those weren't the rules when we fought". In the "Four" book Four beats Eric in a fight and the scene in the film alludes to the fact that Eric conceded a fight (possibly to Four) during their initiation.
I just have the strongest feeling that Eric actually liked Tris that's half the reason why he targeted her so much, the other half because he hates four and four liked her too. Eric can see she favored aka like four and it makes him jealous and angry at her cause she obviously chooses four. -At the beginning, he seems intruged by her cause she was the first to jump, such bravery in a stiff, plus she is damn pretty. Everyone makes fun of her except him. -He then, keeps looking at her and admire her alot throughout the next following scenes with him, so I'm sure he noticed four always looking and helping her, difference is, she looks at four differently than she looks at him. Four got to her first. -The knife scene he is admiring her throwing skill like four. But one thing about Eric is if he likes you, you dont question his methods. After he notices she notices she is bleeding, he halts and his voice gets lighter as he warns her. -He warns her alot throughout the whole movie. -The whole train scene. period. he walks up like "whoa, pretty." and then the stare. even four's face looks like four noticed Eric might like her too at 11:20 (four eyebrows) -He cuts off her when she walks. By now, we know he targeting her cause of jealousy and that he lost in alot of stuff to four, even the girl and that just pisses him off. The rest of the movie, he is so obviously jealous. Just love Eric. I wanna write a fanfic now... xD
Hey lol im reading between the lines, going with what I see and that is what I see. Just hear me out. :) Watch him more closely, hes looks, hes voice, hes actions, its very much like a jealous second. Even in the deleted scene with Eric, tris and four, thats why they deleted it, cause eric stands close and looks in her eyes, the way he looks at her, the way he talks. He seemed like the type that bullies those he might like cause of where he comes from, hes just used to being a stick in the mud cause he was raised around a lot of smart stick in the mud kind of people, hes prideful and he warns her, as if always giving her a chance. He warns her with words, but with her friend, hes only warning was pushing and hanging her off a wet metal ledge. He puts the warning listen to me or die waring very clearly to her fried. But with Tris, the warnings keep coming. lol Looks like special treatment to me. By the second movie, when he says, "Its really good to see you again." I think he genuinely meant that, but also in a dark way, like I can picture him dreaming about meeting her again, going off between having nights of choking her and possibly "wet dreams" of her, the way he stood very close in the deleted scene in part one and looked in her eyes, his voice when he warns her yet again, like a guy would have if he hated and loved a girl. Plus, she kind of shot him in the leg for Four. I bet that hurt. Eric is super prideful and when you hurt his pride, he takes it personally. And he lost alot to Four, just because he lost again in even a chance of love, he takes it personally. He literally is hunting her especially, probably more than he wants Four. That chase in the woods. Like thinking in part two, in Tris case, "If you dont love me, then you deserve to die and I'll kill you myself." Eric is very twisted in the mind. xD Idk, Im usually good at guessing these things, everything a director does in a movie is for a reason. I think its like that in Eric's case, but shippers weren't taking the bait as much as they took Four, I mean Four is a very big rival in love, EVERYONE just loves four. xD im sorry super long comment but trust me watch it again with this in mind, eric scenes. :D
Her Ship Sails Well, I can see it happening because Tris is a love interest of Four, and since he is always competing with him, he certainly could compete over this too. But if that's true then it's a change they made in the movies because I read the books and he basically hates her lol
It's possible that he feels physically attracted to Tris. But I don't think Eric especially likes Tris's personality. The way he says to her 'But now you're really one of us now' with that sarcastic happy face, you can tell he sees her as this stupid girl who wants to be one of the cool kids, and not someone with any real depth.
I always loved the dynamic between Four and Eric. I also really strongly believe that they both have skills that the other doesn’t, which is why they both hate each other because they can never truly compete as equals. Even though it isn’t displayed as much in the movie, Eric is really smart and he does what needs to be done, while Four is really strong and he acts on his emotions.
The knife throwing scene and the train scene when he’s talking to tris, it almost seems like he likes her. I can’t get over how nice he is to her in those two scenes. Plus he is kinda hot
@@danielleransom123 nah read the books scenes are completely different and should have stayed the same, he isn’t nice to tris like in the movies he is sadistic and four doesn’t like him, it was never shown just how much four didn’t like him. Sadistic isn’t even the right word to describe how he is. He is like the impediment of evil. He is a psychopath in every way he is cruel. He isn’t flirty like in the movies and that’s what made the movie Eric so much nicer then book, I think Eric is suppose to be bad and me I’ll. He is suppose to show that he doesn’t take any crap from anyone
Do you ever have those bad guys that you hate so much you love them? Or you're embarrassed to like them, cause you're afraid they might come to life and read your story on them and think you're really weird? Or is that just me?
Jai can really act this role! I love him in the movie. He's really good actor. And i love that scene where Tris jump on train and Eric say: "who let you out?" And Tris: "I did" Eric: "you did?" And long pause and then Eric: "Okey." I really think he push Tris out of train or something.
Ikr I'd like to to watch a movie where the main heroin falls in love with the hot villian. A compination of the Divergent series with Fifty shades of Grey kind of movie
And he hated it you can see on his face even though proud he hates that she is that way it makes it hard for him to control her even as a pure dauntless
If I'm being honest, I actually have a certain respect for Eric's character. As a kid, my parent's always sent me to high-level soccer camps and I would often be playing with kids who were older than me. Eric reminds me of a lot of guys while playing soccer. He's confident, a bit obnoxious, but also capable. If you put out, perform well, keep your head down, he won't bother you and will eventually treat you with respect. If you are weak or don't put out, he will ridicule you and make you want to quit. I respect his character for some reason.
Just came here to say this is one and only one in the whole Divergent story I've empathized. Man just did his job and did the best. He was so real. No hysterics, no false heroics. Best.
I watched this movie before reading the book and during the chasm scene I was like “oh, look at him. The bad guy is helping out a girl, I wonder if they will end up together. Maybe for them its one of those stories.” lol i was wronggg
When I saw this movie as a kid I though it was scary as hell with the amazing deep soundtrack and had all the awesome fight scenes, but now as an adult this is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen from its era
Eric is a really good character he is one of the most important characters in these movies and I think people forget about it him and never actually discuss his character
DoodleNoodle MC he is a douche. He changed those rules for initiation so that he could minipulate the initiates and the members so that they would be easier to control in the simulations. Have you ever even read the books?
Nope, not really if you watch any of his interviews and hear him speaking with his actual accent its really quite strong, you'd definitely notice if his american accent was slipping and his aussie accent was coming through.
OKAY BUT CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK WHEN TRIS CAME BACK FROM ERUDITE AND ERIC WAS THERE TELLING HER OFF!!!! YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION WITH A BUTTER KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍
“Yeah stiff take it off.. put it back on...”
Gargar Mar Lol😂
LOL he was so petty
😂😂😂😂
XD
Peter is the plug tho XD
Jai Courtney is such a good actor, I don't know why people don't really put him up for big roles which I know he will be able to take.
YASSSSS
Watch the Exception . He is so sexy
You are very nice sexy girls so soet nice I like it you love me
He has a bad guy face, most main characters are good guys so.
Agree! Such a good actor!
Tris went first not because of bravery but being selfless. She saw everyone else was scared so she did it for them.
That is brave. Doing it even though she was scared because she thought it was the right thing to do, that's true bravery.
That’s literally what bravery is being scared to do something but doing it anyway
“Who let you out? “
“I did”
“You did?”
*pause*
“Ok.”
The way he says ok , I’m so dead 😂😂😂
음악 it’s like I hate you but I have to behave in front of people
MNI Andes yea I think tris knew she wouldn’t be punished
I love that bit
I got ur comment to 1k likes
He no says "oh you did"

Lmao the film did NOT present a tough loving kind of guy, are you fucking crazy? He was clearly presented as a psycho in the film too.
Lmfao I liked him better in the book tho
What did he do in the book?

OMG THIS IS TRUE XD
I think he looks like Machine Gun Kelly
LMAOO
KRS Studios vvvvvv
best quote is for sure "two teeeeaams"
Yes 😂
Truly inspirational 😂😂😂
four and i are captains😭
My favorite is "Of gettin stabbed by an airborne knife? Yeah."
The knife throwing scene and the train scene when he’s talking to tris, it almost seems like he likes her. I can’t get over how nice he is to her in those two scenes. Plus he is kinda hot
me too! I noticed it too, plus look at four face its like he realized there in the train that eric might like tris.
Nah he is a psychopath
Emily Norris lmao
Alexa Elaine yeah he yells at everyone else but talks gently with her and 4 doesn’t like it

My fave part is in 12:06 when Eric says "two teams", earlier I didn't realize how interesting he says it. Sounds great 😁
Bahaha I can't unhear it now!
Do you ever have those bad guys that you hate so much you love them? Or you're embarrassed to like them, cause you're afraid they might come to life and read your story on them and think you're really weird? Or is that just me?
LilMissButtons :D same!! 😂 😂
Livslow trust me I've felt the same way😂😂😂
Livslow ur not alone bud
Omg I’m not alone! Or your to shy to tell ur friends you like him cause your afraid they’ll judge you and then you’ll have to explain why?!?!?!!
Same😅
The way the blonde guy is staring at Peter at 1:02 is the way I stare at Peter at everything he does in the whole movie.
The “lucky for you those weren’t the rules when we fought” had me dead
ikr
Jai can really act this role! I love him in the movie. He's really good actor. And i love that scene where Tris jump on train and Eric say: "who let you out?" And Tris:
"I did" Eric:
"you did?" And long pause and then Eric:
"Okey." I really think he push Tris out of train or something.
jasmin pelander I know I thought too, that he pushes her out of the train 😂
same
Did he look at four when she said that she let herself out?
😂😂😂
Yes, he is such an underrated actor.
why do they always kill the hot villains
Ikr
I'd like to to watch a movie where the main heroin falls in love with the hot villian. A compination of the Divergent series with Fifty shades of Grey kind of movie
beezkanal exactly what I thought
he’s everything but hot ew
IKR!! Gotham. Jerome.... :'(
beezkanal right
when Eric asks who let her out, and she says she did, he knew then and there that Tris does not give up, that Tris IS Dauntless
And he hated it you can see on his face even though proud he hates that she is that way it makes it hard for him to control her even as a pure dauntless
5:28 It went from sexy to terrifying real quick

Oh great, do you mean you're a pushover who tolerates assholes?
That’s till you read the books
The books portray him completely differently.
Too bad since he's worse in the books
*the stiff ?*
*two stiffs*
*two dead stiffs*
why is this my best part in the movie ?
The part where I leave with no stiff lol
"I guess you'll find out... or not"
"Hold on to the rail.... or not"
Hate it love him, you have to admit Eric was the embodiment of Dauntless, the guy even before dying didn’t have fear.
he didnt die
Eric is pure sexiness (I love Jai Courtney)
Blaine's Sister
Who doesn't love Jai?
Ewww I hate him
@@sanikakulkarni9651 well i hate you
Same
Guess what he was in suicide squad (along side Will Smith).
I like how in the book they describe Eric as ugly but then they pick Jai Courtney to play him in the films and look so fine af😂
He is so sassy
"Grab the rail
..... or don't"
Like hes so unbothered 🤷♀️
9:51 the most beautiful shot in cinematic history
Matea Orešković PERIODT SIS 😂
Just came here to say this is one and only one in the whole Divergent story I've empathized. Man just did his job and did the best. He was so real. No hysterics, no false heroics. Best.
I love Four’s facial expression around 8:23 He’s thinking: “Tris you are so stupid. Why’d you go and have to put me in this situation?”
Yeah I know and she knew it and so did Eric I think he knew she would step up that’s why he asked 4 to do it
I watched this movie before reading the book and during the chasm scene I was like “oh, look at him. The bad guy is helping out a girl, I wonder if they will end up together. Maybe for them its one of those stories.”
lol i was wronggg
Ikr!
The reason I saw this movie was because of Jai, so thanks for this video!
Yess =]
Look at this cheekbones. how can you not fall in love
Because he speaks with the voice of a hungry wolf.
He's literally my favourite character in _Divergent_
god Eric is so good looking what a masterpiece of a man
he is perfect
One thing Eric doesn’t get is that there is a difference between being smart and being afraid.
I can't hate Eric cause of Jai Courtney
Ikr
Miles Teller is type cast as " douchebag " . He plays douchebag in every role he's ever been in. And he does it perfectly
Jai Courtney was so hot in this role. He's actually really funny & adorable.
His characteristics are literally amazing
Is this crazy? I think I love Eric more than Four!
nelliephanttt_ not at all. I feel the same way
i thought that i was crazy. Now I knw that im not the only one
nelliephanttt_ Same =D💕
SAME!!!!
You're not alone! Of course I always fall for the villains. ;)
Why did I start Divergent? Because of Eric
Why did I drop Insurgent? Because of Eric
Honestly, probably my favourite role with Jai Courtney
real
I js came for Jai Courtney tbh 😂
Fr tho lol
Eric: "A brave man never surrenders..."
Four: "Lucky for you, those weren't the rules when _WE_ fought..."
*Four is a Savage.*
Goddamn I just love Eric's voice😍😍😍😍😍
There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Fear is actually a useful and necessary thing.
Just watched Jai play Macbeth in Melbourne last night. Very powerful acting.
Hes probably my fav actor tbh
16:09 i love love love this scene. when tris says goodbye and four says move and you die it was so cute. i cant stop rewatching this part
Eric is gorgeous😍😍
Am i the only one who cried about Eric in insurgent..... i mean i cried for a hour
Lucy Furneaux i did the same😢😢💔
Me too! He was the reason why I watched this shitty movies.
I just wish that they're going to make one more movie in which they bring back the dead for example and eric comes back 😭😭😭
Nope when I was a senior we watched the first two in my English class I lost interest when he died.
DON'T REMIND ME 😭💔
When I saw this movie as a kid I though it was scary as hell with the amazing deep soundtrack and had all the awesome fight scenes, but now as an adult this is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen from its era
Eric is the best
I might be phsyco...I love Eric ❤
Glory Rodriguez its okay, I'm psycho too, Eric is amazing
Im appearently phsyco too => ive watched alot of his movies but my fav is him as eric
I saw this movie at children hospital lol when I was really sick this movie caught my attention really loved it
"Yeah stiff take it off...........noo put it back on"

Three words: I love him.
Eric is so vicious I love him
"Legendary four, now a mindless drone, you were the first in your class and now you're...nothing."
Kinky
PETER I CAN'T😭 "yeah stiff take it off... Put it back on......."
i love eric :)
He is such an asshole, but just can't get enough of him. Also, the look he gives at 6:10, rofl.
for the training clips i think eric is not really a douche, he's just strict and loyal to the dauntless principles
DoodleNoodle MC he is a douche. He changed those rules for initiation so that he could minipulate the initiates and the members so that they would be easier to control in the simulations. Have you ever even read the books?
He’s loyal to Erudite and Jeanine, not Dauntless. Read the book.
Can I just point out that Eric has some sass? Lmao
they guy that helped tris pick christina up was so attractive i wish he had a bigger role so that we can see him more 😭😭😭
i only watched this movie once and read the book so many times. Its not that different but it feels so different at the same time
Somebody out of the group refuses to do something or surrenders
Eric: "Are you afraid?"
- : _"Yes"_
Eric: "GAAAAAAAAAAHHH"
It's amazing.. every single scene made me roll my eyes. I gotta lie down now, it gave me a headache.
... and that's how kids, we never saw Eric again.
😅😁
3:39 can hear the Australian coming out
Nope, not really if you watch any of his interviews and hear him speaking with his actual accent its really quite strong, you'd definitely notice if his american accent was slipping and his aussie accent was coming through.
Lol
The only problem I had with the VERY BEGINNING when Tris jumped first, was that it was Max on the roof with em, not Eric
OKAY BUT CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK WHEN TRIS CAME BACK FROM ERUDITE AND ERIC WAS THERE TELLING HER OFF!!!! YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION WITH A BUTTER KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍
Eric was such a good bad guy
Tobias is cute and all, with his pouty lips but Eric is The Man oof-
There is also a deleted scene when Eric tells Tris to watch her back after peter stabs Edward in the eye.
LOVE HIM!!❤️❤️
If you like him you have to watch the exception movie..he is soo goood in that one
JustFun606 The exception is awesome as fuck and yeah he is absolutely incredible in that movie God
So true, he is unbelievable in The Exception. Highly recommend watching it.
The face four makes at 8:49 😂
I love that mans lips! 👄
I love Eric ,I love Jai!!!💥
Yessss
2014 was a good movie year..
Always thought his evil self was cute .
I love this guy so much. Dropped the series on the second movie after they off-ed him
Well I would have totally been good with taking some of Tris's screen time to see more of Eric! lol
straight savage
legendary four😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"A mindless drone. You were first in your class and now you're.. Nothing."
"What, think he might be..."
"Well there's one way to find out... Say goodbye, asshole"
"Goodbye."
Eric was played well. Convincing. Dislikable. He was a necessary character.
I think that four should be the bad guy in the movie because Eric is so suitable for the role
Eric is handsome, hot and always fail :V
Unpopular opinion:
Jai is hotter than Theo🤷🏽♀️
_nina215_ abso-f*cking-lutely
agreed lmao
No he’s not
_nina215_ disagree no fuckin way
ABSOLUTELY!! It’s a fact
He played the role so well. Reminds me of a friend of mine.
Its kinda unsettling to have a friend like eric😅
I’m sorry but 10:50 AHHHHHHH I love Eric
Sameeee 😘😘😘
Why is Captain Boomerang doing in Divergent¿
Eric: Who tried killing Tris
Al: I did
Eric: Ok
3:31 lucky for you... damn so Eric concedes when fighting against four, that explains why he lost the fight against him in one of the scenes and died
12:06 😍😍
twoTEEEEEEEEEEEEEMS
I'm not a fan of the series but damn, I'm so into Jai Courtney. Especially him as this jerkoff. What does that say about me eh...
10:51 Eric That Face :')
OMG eric's voice
