      @@mattlawrence1932 explain your theory? Cause I’m referring to the actual storyline. GTA story doesn’t compare to SOA imo. No shit they don’t have cars and present day things. Which is why I said a “present day red dead story”. A story of a good man caught in the middle of his gang and mess of shit and how he’s loyal to a fault… more comparable to rdr2 tbh

    Jax Teller is also a walking tragedy. Nothing but pain and misery followed this man. The pain that this man endured throughout the entire series was inhuman. This club destroyed him and everything he held dear. It took away his father, his mother, his brother, his best friend, associates, and the love of his life. By the end of the series, he was nothing more than a bag of bones.

    • @matt0771
      @matt0771 Год назад +17

      And in trying to change the club for the better the only thing he did was that he became the man he hated most. Just like his father, he became the poison of the club both J.T and Jax knew that and that’s why they went out the way they went out. Some of the most beautiful writing Ive ever seen and one of the most criminally underrated shows of all time

    • @anthonycampos8057
      @anthonycampos8057 Год назад +25

      @matt0771 you have to remember, there were three Jax's in this series. There was Jax pre Opies death, there was Jax post Opies death, and there was Jax post Tara's death. Opies death unleashed his inner fury and Tara's death was the fatal blow to him. All of season 7, he seemed like a guy who was bleeding out.

    This video... brought me to tears because Jax Teller may be a tragic character, but the most outstanding protagonist character of all shows I have ever seen. Other shows have awesome protagonists, but Jax was crafted so so well. I will never forget seeing how season 3 ended because of Jax's brilliant mind at work. I was in shock when i saw him take his throne as President. Seeing him loss Opie was just tragic and seeing Tara lifeless and bloody on the ground broke my heart. And nonetheless he still wanted to make things right for his boys and his club, even at the very end. Thank you so so much for making this wonderful and low down of Jax Teller with this video .

    I think we all forget how smart Jax is. Just with little details he’s able to figure stahl out for not having info in season 2. While he does have anger issues. He slowly becomes more and more ruthless and cunning. He’s a love child of clay and Gemma. He only had the morals of his father till each death hit him. From season 4 onwards the guy had died honestly

    Three things really brought me into this show:
    1. Charlie Hunnam's convincing portrayal of Jax Teller. Definitely one of my favorite instances of a Brit playing an American; others would include Hugh Laurie as Greg House, Idris Elba as Stringer Bell, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange
    2. The fact that Jax happens to be a high school dropout
    3. In the Japanese dub, he's voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa

If you ride, you know the west coast is alot differant then the east. But what happens there come here anyway. When i started back in the early. 70s , it was about riding free and being brothers, it sadens me to see whhat it comes to. To many polatics and whos badder and fighting. One day this country is gonna fall ,and we need to bond together for the good of all. Have alot more to say but this isnt the place.

    It’s been 10 years since this show ended, I think it’s time for a sequel series. Showing Abel as a club member and Thomas as a doctor following in his mother’s footsteps. I know this shits on Jax’s sacrifice but it would call back to Gemma handing the ring to Abel telling him his future is the club.
    Thoughts ?

    Damn i never thought about that, but that Juice betrayel was the thing that gave Jax the idea and was the stone that brought it rolling, to take black members, shows some respect for Juice from Jax
    He was a traitor, but Jax understood from where it came.
    You could say that Juice left a legacy in SAMCRO, that he will never know.

    I stopped listening around the season 3 take. Someone tell me if he's worth listening to. Leaving Abel with a clean cut family is exactly what Jax would do. He's been scared of his life tainting Abel since before the kid was born with his fears coming true in the last season. That was him trying to save his son. Not abandon him.

      That season 3 take was off in my opinion, but you should definitely watch the rest.

      It was the only opinion I disagreed with, so you'll enjoy the rest LOL but yes I agree he didn't understand that part. Jax has tried to do the right thing with his son ever since he had him. He at first pushed away Tara (or tried to rather LOL) for the same reason. He every quickly learned how many lives he actually affects, and knew that he had to do right by all of them, one way or another. And then to find out that his father was trying to come here because he was trying to do the same thing with Jax himself? It made him have a moment of fear. Rightfully so.

    5:33 I’m really late to this party. However the way things are explained are fantastic! Seriously, Jax is literally rutterless and whatever decision he makes is going to be the wrong decision. All because nobody knows how to make the right decisions.
