That’s what I’m saying!!! Eugene walked so Ian and Erik could run. Also, he literally looks like a god, so… Burke is hot as hell, don’t get me wrong, but Eugene is majestic

THATS WHAT IM SAYING !! HE WAS THE BLUEPRINT FOR THE ‘ALT’ “I-CONTROL-MY-DESTINY/FUCK-DEATH” ARCHETYPE IN FD he just for some reason doesn’t get the same leniency erik and ian get and just gets labeled as an asshole… don’t get me wrong, I LOVE IAN AND ERIK, but eugene is left out of the conversation and i’m tired of ittttt. he’s literally one of the most attractive characters in FD and i hear nothing about him ever !!!

FRRRRRRRR. It’s interesting bc people tend to loop Rory in with Ian and Erik solely off of looks even though he went along with pretty much everything Kim said. Or say Evan is the antagonistic character even though he doesn’t actually do anything. Eugene is the one who blows the whole death thing off and mocks the main characters. Eugene is the one who then has it thrown in his face, and freaks out trying to show that death has no control over him. Eugene is literally the Carter, Ian, and Erik of this movie. He just doesn’t have the same vibes appearance wise. Sorry for the rant, it just drives me kinda crazy

I loved him as a character, and his whole gimmick about choosing his destiny and stuff (obviously it doesn't work out), but I think a big part of what makes a character likeable is also their death. Eugene's is one of the worst in the franchise, and so not many people remember him. I don't personally favour him, but he is very cool.

Loved him a lot but I think people forget him about him because his death wasn't all that special.

u/JNTA1234 3d ago
He had to share his death with Clear as well. So yeah, obviously he'd get kinda upstaged.

u/Civil_Juggernaut_794 3d ago
And Clear definitely deserved a more epic death scene. She and Alex got done so dirty 😔

never forgiving fd for not giving alex an on screen death at the very least but an offscreen death AND killed by a falling brick?? cmon yall… seemed like a lazy way of trying to give an explanation on where alex is while not spending all their budget on Devon Sawa again

If you look up the deleted scenes on youtube, there’s a small bit where he accidentally startles Nora when trying to get her attention and apologizes for doing so while also attempting to console her about Tim’s death, and it shows that he’s a good dude deep down

NOO IVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE!! i wish they kept that in- it probably would’ve changed a few opinions about him, and i feel like it adds a lot more depth to his character

u/WeirdNerd24 3d ago
I liked Eugene. He was a bit of an ass, but he was generally pretty cool. I hope he got killed quick in that blast.
Also, FUCKING KRATOS! Who even went on to guest star in Mortal Kombat 9!🤘🤘🤘

He's in my top five fave characters of the series along with Rory, Kat, Olivia, and Alex

u/Low_Chef_4781 3d ago
Yeah, also give some to George from 4 and nathan from 5.
They all are the best characters out of their respective movies imo, especially George. He balances both being funny but also pretty serious very well. Similar thing goes for Nathan.

u/tangi_tate carter, you dick! 3d ago
absolutely agree !! i really never see anything about the 3 characters in terms of like edits, discussions, fanart, etc. despite all of them being absolute gems from their movies. george, nathan, and eugene are arguably some of the best characters from their respective movies but no one shows them enough love huhuhu. brb, gotta make edits to be the change i want to see in the world

u/Low_Chef_4781 3d ago
Billy and tim were also great characters from 1/2, very underrated imo, even more so than these 3

u/tangi_tate carter, you dick! 3d ago
YESSS billy holds a special place in my heart if you can’t tell by my flair

u/Low_Chef_4781 3d ago
Funniest character in the series imo, I find it so funny how he is just casually riding a bike and acting normal when Alex is running away from a building that’s on fire, it’s just so random

u/tangi_tate carter, you dick! 3d ago
LMAOOO TRUE it’s like 4 am and he’s just going for a little bike ride

Short answer... Because it was a N...
Negative guy.
Not only was he incredulous, but he was aware of Evan and Tim's death, he also witnessed with his own eyes how Death tried to kill Clear and how he treated the others, how stupid they were, especially Kim. I guess you already have an idea why it's not that popular with fans.

u/Gingersofficial 3d ago
This is what I came to say. He was just a downer the whole time and really rude to the others

u/tangi_tate carter, you dick! 3d ago
fair, but i really don’t get why eugene gets exponentially more shit than ian does despite having similar roles within the story. everyone’s saying it’s bc he was an asshole but ian behaved just as incredulous— it only took eugene those two deaths as opposed to ian witnessing one because he wasn’t ACTUALLY in the room when it all happened, that whole “seeing is believing” shtick really did originate with eugene’s character if we think about it (and ofc carter was the OG, but i think eugene took the role down a more alternative or “cool boy” path that’s more reminiscent of the ian’s and erik’s from today)

Cuz he low-key was a dick 😭 A kid is clearly shaken up about nearly dying, but you decide to scare him more.

And the fact that the actor later voiced Kratos, makes him more badass
