Thanks everyone for translating, "The dude ain't dead." I replayed the promo several times but just couldn't get that line. I guess he's mumbling because Abby punched him. I'm sure this will play out better in the show but I viewed the promo before the sneak peak pics and I couldn't understand why Ben was mumbling and as I mentioned above, couldn't understand his words at all. |

* the dude ain't dead sounds stupid * like Ben is not taking what happened to will seriously, he's just talking casually to one of his gangsta friends. I don't know why the show didn't just have him speaking in standard English for such a serious storyline where a character was killed off unnecessarily. :shrug:

Probably because he's crazy. |

Lol. It just dawned on me that the language was probably intended to fit into his character. Edited by odmac.1, Oct 1 2017, 02:08 PM.

The line definitely reads like the ramblings of a crazy person, but I also think the casualness of the "dude" comment is powerful in the sense that it also displays a level of cruelty towards Sonny. By being so casual about Sonny's 'deceased' spouse is just another excellent layer to Ben's character IMO. |

"The dude ain't dead" honestly sounds like something a guy his age would say. I don't think it's meant to be anything deep. |

Will is a dude. Why shouldn't he be referred to as such? |

Yes I agree someone his age would say that, but it's not in a casual context where 2 friends are talking. My post was about the serious nature of this storyline where a core character who broke barriers with the gay community was unnecessarily killed off for shock value which did upset a lot of people, and by using the word dude, imo in this context what happened to will is treated as cavalier and something to just be brushed a side. To show the serious entrance to the start of this storyline, with bringing will back from the dead Ben, should have used will first name. :shrug: Edited by odmac.1, Oct 1 2017, 07:59 PM.

That's not at all how fiction or television or villains work. A character is being brought back from the dead. It's not serious. |

I kinda understand what you're saying but you also have to remember that Ben is a little crazy. He thinks crashing the wedding and announcing Will is alive is a good idea. He attacked Will to begin with, lol. should have used will first name. He did... at the church when he said, "Will is alive!" |

I get where you're coming from, but I can't really be too upset with Ben because he is the bringer of good news about Will being alive. At first, I thought it was hysterical that he said that. You gotta remember, Ben is a freaking psychopath and a murderer. He doesn't give two shits what he says, which, in a way, kind of adds to the appeal and intrigue he brings. I don't think he was thinking one iota about respect TBH. Don't get me wrong -- I wanted to kill Ben myself for murdering one of my favorite characters, but I'm willing to give him a little bit of leeway now that we know that Will is going to be found alive and well after all. :blulaugh: :blulaugh: |
