Fargo 2 - Mike Milligan: Revolution

[@libRteedude]

I love the irony of Mike reflecting on the dual meaning of "revolution" when it perfectly applies to him. He thought he was doing the "overthrow" kind when fighting the Gerhardts, but he was actually just doing the "full-circle" kind where he ends up right back at where he was before: An undervalued employee of a large conglomerate. He got his revolution, but it wasn't the one he wanted.

[@mr.chandler8144]

Very nice. I concur with that Down to the gesture of the hand. I returned back to which I started.

[@TheAuraOfItAll]

Lou has a circular arc too. Him and Mike both seem to end up right where they started at the beginning of their stories. Might be why the scenes they have together are so great because they're shades of a similar color.

All social revolutions are just ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss’ except the new boss is usually worse.

[@orphandextro7046]

Just like the Russians in the turn of the century. A people’s failure to themselves.

[@geordiejones5618]

I lose it when he just looks and makes the circle with his fingers. Such a good actor

[@geordiejones5618]

@Queso The Kid i love the way the close his character too. All the people he killed, all the time and effort, just to be another desk jockey. He just wanted to be an old school gangster, but times change.

Shit, that is good. *I hear you making a point but I'm showing you that I'm repeating mine to myself because yours is irrelevant.* Dismissive as hell.

Bokeem woodbine is an amazingly underrated actor. He was great in overlord even tho he had like 15 minutes of air time haha

[@floydjackson3040]

Bokeem Woodbine, highly underrated actor 💯

“Are we gonna talk, or are ya’ just gonna quote the thesaurus at me?!” Is a peak Fargo response to an obscure reference.

[@bienvenidovelasco6834]

Mike Milligan is dark comedy personified

[@TheOttomatic91]

After watching season 4 this makes this scene even better considering Loy originally wanted to be an accountant but was forced to become a gangster whilst Mike enjoyed being a gangster but was forced to become an accountant, full circle indeed.

[@whispersmith]

Fantastic observation

[@tanveerhasan2382]

Very allegorical

[@notandyagain]

I also wonder if was Elthelrida who taught him French 🤔

[@Crow-gg5se]

I love this character and this love this scene. Brilliantly written, directed and acted. A point where a person has an epiphany and they see a truth they never saw before even though they have been staring at it for years.

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

Epiphany?

[@Crow-gg5se]

@@Stoney-Jacksman 3a(1) : a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something. (2) : an intuitive grasp of reality through something (such as an event) usually simple and striking. (3) : an illuminating discovery, realization, or disclosure.

[@LoudaroundLincoln]

​@@Crow-gg5se I always thought that the quote a "moment of clarity" described the meaning of an epiphany quite well.

[@Crow-gg5se]

@@LoudaroundLincoln it’s been 2 years but I think I just simply cut and paste the Websters definition.

[@baddoomguy1986]

"Are you gonna talk, or are you just gonna quote the Thesaurus at me?" Her whole character summed up in one sentence.

[@mbuonato10]

bokeem woodbine stole every scene in this season. should have won an emmy for sure

What does it matter who goes first

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Mike was a great character, considering his story in season 4 makes his ending here in season 2 even more depressing

[@ergbudster3333]

The actor is channeling the late Dr Thompson? I got a good ear. I clearly recognize the cadence.

[@iratewarrior1801]

Awesome series 👍

[@SYCZ]

Satchel Cannon needs his own series.

She's nuts talking to a murderer and sociopath. xD

just wow

Bokeem Woodbine

[@generalsaurkraut3227]

I thought unlike Varga and Malvo, Milligan just spoke nonsense with no clear philosophical direction or purpose.

[@whispersmith]

Nah, it just isn't immediately clear where his thoughts are going. Here, he is responding to her complaint, that if it's a revolution, what does it matter who dies first? Hes after all of them. And then he thinks of the way that these cycles of violence repeat over and over. Def not nonsense

[@captainutki01]

Mike Milligan is a very entertaining character but I hate him. I truly do

[@NoOne-sc1ox]

Worst character and actor in the entire series.
