Okay, let's have a real talk about this scene instead of meme shitposting if possible. Why did Tarantino make Bruce Lee look like such an arrogant insufferable asshole in it? It's not even about the fact Cliff 'beat' him that I'm mad about, but about this. Why make him such an easily hateable character that makes you feel glad about seeing him getting his ass handed?

can such a thing be had?

You think this is the first time Bruce Lee has been portrayed in a negative light? He was the original /ricecel/ and took his anger out on normies all the time
Christopher Adams
BRADU PITTU PREASE
Jonathan Torres
Same reason he portrayed Steve Mcqueen as a seething incel who was jealous of Polanski.
Tyler Bailey
What the hell happened though? This guy was a Hollywood sex symbol back in a time where racism was the absolute norm.
Charles Garcia
>N-NOOOO YU CANT MAKE THREADS ABOUT THAT DELETUUU!!
Xavier James
Because he bought into the gym rat bullshit that Bruce Lee was a fraud.
Joshua Walker
do you actually believe that shit?
Adrian Lee
In allseriousness, that scene might have been half memory/half fantasy actually. Like Cliff Booth did meet Bruce Lee, but that fight was an idealized version of the memeory. The whole movie is about idolizing history.
Isaac Ramirez
Tarantino already answered that you dumb fuck.
Adam Diaz
which shit?
Logan Price
So the jews were right?
Jordan Morales
i assumed that was the point that we see the whole thing through Cliffs memory so hes remembering it in a very hold my beer way
James Murphy
Nah that happened, the whole reason he can't get work on that movie is because he threw Lee into the car of Kurt Russell's wife.
Its a fictional character vs a fictionalized version of a real person, I can only assume people can tear Brad Pitt out of the equation and just see a real person beating up someone who really existed rather than Cliff Booth vs a fictionalized version of Bruce Lee
Landon Reed
It was to make Cliff look competent, this was addressed in the film with Leo's character being the guy who gets btfo to make another guy look better.
I also disagree that he made Lee look insufferable. Some random stuntman spoke out of place arrogantly and then he was shown having a cute training scene with Sharon Tate
Charles Jackson
I'm guessing you didn't watch the movie because it was Cliffs power fantasy to get into a fight with Bruce and beat him up

>Why did Tarantino make Bruce Lee look like such an arrogant insufferable asshole
Because Bruce Lee WAS an insufferable asshole. There's enough anecdotal evidence to support this, from multiple people who worked alongside him.
Jose Rodriguez
what evidence, where?
Ethan Brooks
funny because Kareem was always noted as being a douche in the nba but he was best buddies with Bruce
Kareem was the one who started this meme btw, not Terry Crews
Connor Johnson

FPBP. The Jew fears the samurai.
Dylan Gray
Maybe, maybe not. The scene is deliberately ambiguous on wether it really happened or it was just Cliff's imagination.
