What's crazy is that whole speech Pete gave Vegas about always being useless, nonexistent, emotionless, and not being able to take it anymore - While they were staring into each other's eyes - gave me the impression that Pete's feelings directly mirror Vegas's. They share the same pain. One masks that pain in cruelty and the other in a sunny/optimistic disposition.
No one truly and honestly that happy-go-lucky CHOOSES to join the freaking mafia. Like, when I first saw him revealed as Porsche's roomie I was so confused. I was like, "This guy WANTS to beat up, torture, and kill people? Are you sure he's cut out for this?" It really clicked that this man (Pete) has been frauding everyone around him for years. He's not happy at all, and never has been. Maybe he thinks he's working the kind of job he deserves, cause he's not a good guy (as he insinuated to Vegas on the bed).
Remembering how his eyes were always so wide open and observant of Vegas when he tortured that one guy, then shot ol' boy in the head....how Pete had no issue partaking in these things himself....It makes so much sense that he identified Vegas as being a mirror of his own demons a long time before he was even captured. He just didn't want to have to confront those demons.
My thoughts about vegaspete: well that escalated quickly 👀Honestly I think the directors pulled it off. VP…
He totally sold Pete out, but I think he knew that if his friend was protecting Vegas, it was for good reason. Pete not giving his name in the tub told Porsche that whatever Pete was going thru, he clearly wanted to deal with it (Vegas) himself. Just like Porsche wanted to handle this family stuff on his own terms - I think Porsche was giving Pete that opportunity to confront/deal with Vegas himself.
