BIG LITTLE LIE Ed threatens Nathan

[@RussyPopDnD]

This is the scene that made me fall in love with this show. The way that this conversation calmly but direly escalates into quiet hostility is incredible. Ed calling Nathan's subtle disrespect out was amazing.

[@TJ-tj8vg]

Ed is the type of person I would be very afraid of messing with. Those people who let things slide and slide, turn the other cheek to BS, let things roll off their shoulders mean well ALL of it is really building in their chest ready to jump into your chest...Hard

I relate to Ed so much about bullies

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

''even'' 50% of childcare? Dude, that's not some ''modern standards'' or being ''sensitive'', it's NORMAL, most fathers actually want to take active part in raising children, that's not so ''out of touch'' to expect that!

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Nathan is literally every guy who thinks he's "cool" with zero proof. Probably reads BS psychology tabloids and feels smart afterward's. Nathan, and Maddie dont realize there is no apologizing to Ed at this point.

[@Its_Poco_Loco]

We the ones that been bullied can relate to this!!!! I wanna redeem myself 😂🤣👏👏👏

defend yourself, trust in Jesus, turn the other cheeK- but if u have no choice, be BATMAN. (there r some folks who should in prison, or hospitals. I don't like bullies)

Ed always wins the battles with Nathan

[@Watchtower77]

"I feel like you are beginning to threaten me which I don't think you wanna go there." It's supposed to be a belligerent statement but the way Nathan says it, nah!

[@BatmanHQYT]

The best is how he denies threatening him with a threat.

[@noone9472]

@@BatmanHQYT hey, I’m not sure I understand where there was a threat, can you help? What was said that was a threat?

[@boybillythebutcher4575]

Because he didn't threaten him in the first place 😂

Why he is threatening him? What happened?

[@jorgeherrera1074]

I could relate so much to that. I was a martial artist since about 4 years old and I knew if I wanted to I could’ve easily beaten up the bullies, but the “mature” thing was to walk away. I regret that and have that same feeling of hope one day someone will go a little too far and I can “redeem” myself.

[@ProtossExecutor100]

Let me tell you a story. Years ago I was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier and this guy in my division decided to step up to me. He said some pretty fucked up shit, things that would make anyone without a grip on their temper throw something or scream at them. At the time, I decided to just let it go because come to find out, he was getting kicked out for getting in another alcohol related incident with the cops and I had 1 year left, I didn't want to chance any possibility of getting kicked out and losing my GI Bill to some lowlife scum. Then I deeply regretted not punching him, and I easily could've, he decided to put his finger on my chest. I as well was grappling and kickboxing and the chances of me claiming self-defense would've stuck. It sucked knowing that it was a lesson he should've been taught. But look here man, the fact that you didn't retaliate with violence (regardless of them deserving it or not) says a lot about your character and it takes a large amount of resolve to control, something that can be seen as coveted nowadays. Some people have someone or something fuck with them so bad that it affects their lives on the daily. But they don't matter, they'll go on to live a karma-prone lifestyle and you'll just continue to evolve into the man you need to be. Props to you and keep your good character, do what's good for you.

[@joenobody5913]

Had this issue when I was younger. Got my redemption....but honestly, didn't solve anything. Just an empty hole

[@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259]

You did the right thing. Making a habit out of violence will end with you in jail

[@miguelservetus9534]

We who were taught and lived by the “turn the other cheek” rule, all come to have some regret. Partly due to questioning the source but partly due to a degree of frustration. If it any consolation, you did the right thing. Violence, even if you come out on the winning side, leaves you empty. Let the past go. Many admirer your strength to walk away. Stay strong.

[@kabirsardana1282]

its always the quiet ones you should be the most afraid of. the loud ones always give out their actions.

[@boybillythebutcher4575]

He wasn't threatening him 😂

[@Dan-ys8nk]

Ed issued a veiled threat to Nathan. Nathan is trying to alpha male Ed and Ed wasn't having it. Nathan is that bully from Ed's childhood who will one day go one step too far and regret that he ever screwed around with Ed.

[@BatmanHQYT]

Died laughing at this!

These guys just cannot get along 😔

Why would Ed EVER want to get along with the likes of a guy like Nathan?

[@yusufraage8554]

@@janjr165 Because Nathan is a Chad and the cuck Ed is raising his daughter, that is a good reason.

I can not be afraid of a guy wearing a bicycle clown suit and helmet. By definition, he is a coward.

[@Lala9avenger]

I dont really get it "I thought it would be indelicate to bring it up with Maddy, that's why Im bringing it up with you" In what way would that be perceived as a threat?

[@maragathm]

agreed i didn't understand why ED was being so sensitive. and talking down is insulting but he was not being bullied. Nathan and ED are both children, anytime one person says something the other has to misunderstand it.

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

@@maragathm Cuz Nathan cheated on his wife, and Nathan is quite obviously talking down to Ed, and Ed knows it. Imagine trying to have a "civil" conversation with your bully, but every word out of their mouth is some macho tangent clearly trying to be dominant. You'd be right proper irritated AF wouldn't you? Especially having a background in being bullied yourself you know the tells.

[@clashofqueen93]

I thought it sounded to Ed as if Nathan was saying that if he goes to Maddy instead he could get Maddy back. Since prior to this scene Maddy was always talking about Nathan and if you remember that scene where Ed asked Maddy if Nathan was the one that she never got over. So Ed in his mind due to Maddy perceiving, that Maddy would go to Nathan.

[@pandaluna]

I came here because I was confused about this too. I think Nathan is saying it would be indelicate to go to Maddie because she's so hot-headed compared to Ed. I can see how Ed would find that insulting to Maddy's honor so to speak, but how is it a threat?

[@BatmanHQYT]

It's a threat because he's implying he could always go and tell Maddy, which would cause more hell for Ed than just discussing it privately.

[@Sameer-es9vs]

This is the most boring show, ever made. Ed was so spineless when the person who actually hurt him, he wants to renew the vows but others who have no business with him, he projects his anger on them.

[@maringal44]

Ed IS a girly man though

[@dtvexhaustedtydtvexhausted5885]

Really! I mean really he is probably the cure to all these toxic feminists running around

seeing him turn around and put on his nerdy bike attire after the tough guy act made me chuckle
