Oh, man.
We are on completely different pages on this one. What was the main theme of Creed II? Fathers and sons. You have Adonis fighting for his father's honor against the son of the guy who killed him. You have Rocky dealing with the estrangement of his son and you have Ivan and his son.
Ivan throwing the towel in was perfect. It shows that time has made him human. He's not this juiced up robot like he was in Rocky IV anymore After he lost to Rocky, he lost everything. All he had left was his son. How many of us mellow with time? That's all that was showing me and I liked.
I'm with you, I would have liked to have seen more of Ivan and his son. Matt mentioned the two movie idea and I like that too. That being said, you can't tell me you've been watching movies all your life and expected the film to end any other way but with Adonis winning. I know the good guys are going to win in every comic book movie, doesn't mean I'm going to be disappointed with them as the credits roll. Although some dumb people who went to see Infinity War were.
Anyway, if he had lost for the second time, every theater in America would have booed.
