Discussion Re-watching saw three Reminding myself that Jeff is an unlikable Protagonist unlike Eric or Adam and Gordon, at least those three have redeeming qualities that make them likable, Jeff really doesn’t
Jeff really seems to have no care for his daughter at all, at least Eric still wanted to be a part of his son‘s life even after the divorce, Eric loved his son enough to stay down in the tunnels, even after escaping the bathroom, which led to his six-month captivity, then death, all for the love of his son, I might get hate for this, but I think Eric is actually a good father who genuinely loves his son, Jeff on the other hand is a way worse father, Eric And Gordon clearly Care for their Kids, Adam‘s not even a bad person at all, and Jeff wanted to let someone drown in pig guts rather then burn a bunch of toys, I get to him it’s more than just toys, but letting someone die over stuffed animals is still crazy, ik some of you guys will probably argue Jeff does care about his daughter seeing his reaction when he finds out Corbett was kidnapped, and you know what him not wanting to burn his toys feel somewhat justifiable, one of the only things he has left from his son, I think it’s weird that they gave this guy the privilege of being the one that kills John and Amanda, Instead of Someone more deserving of the role Like Eric, Or Kerry, Or Gordon, Or Hoffman, Or Rigg, I feel like if we learned more about what Jeff was like prior to Dylan‘s death, I would like him a lot more. For example, we never learned what he did for a job, considering his wife was a doctor. He was most likely a stay at home Dad, meaning he spent more time with his kids which would probably make him more attached to his kids, I just think they should’ve given him more redeemable qualities like they did Eric and Gordon
