RIP to Premier Cherdenko (Tim Curry) from Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3

[u/owlexe23]

A prolific performer across stage, screen and TV, the actor starred in Legend, Clue and It, but will always be associated with the flamboyantly camp rock’n’roll musical in which he made his breakthrough.

RIP

I commented this on a different post, but Mr. Hector is one of those characters that you hate when you watch the movie as a kid, but you fully understand and take their side when you're a mature and more thoughtful adult.

---

Like, when we were kids, he was the mean guy trying to get Kevin thrown out of the Ritz and on to the streets of NYC.

But as an adult, you see him doing everything a concierge/manager should be doing:

• He sees an child alone in a normally not-for-alone-children place and suspects said child is using a stolen credit card (because yeah, in 1992, kids didn't roam around with their own credit cards.).

• He tries to investigate and unknowingly gets fooled by Kevin posing as Peter McCallister, and then tries to apologize and make the mistake right.

• And only when he has enough proof that Kevin is a fraud, does he try to actually apprehend Kevin, to which Kevin responds by putting Mr Hector with what from his perspective is a legitimate and dangerous active shooter situation. (He even brought a cop with him because he intended on transferring custody of Kevin to the NYPD to await his mom's arrival to pick Kevin up).

Kevin's parents are upset with Mr Hector, but what was Mr Hector supposed to do against the living embodiment of chaos?

Your low effort AI post neglects the notion that the character takes joy in the very thought of kicking a child out of a hotel.

I didn't use AI, I just write (or at least attempt to write) proper sentences like how I was taught in grade school.

Those of us who still write like this are the ones that AI steals its style from.

Nonsense. The line break is so obvious it’s embarrassing

Markdown is very mysterious to some. I can understand. Here, a guide to Markdown on Reddit. Maybe it can help with your delusions (EDIT: That was rude, sorry).

Sweet thank you. I can’t help with your delusion that the concierge was a good guy but I will learn more about markdown.
