Emotional when Hob dies


I know he's the bad guy, and he's a evil little kid.

It's just the emotion you feel sorry cause he's just a kid.

He still have's a heart and was scared of being alone as he's dying.

and he's last words "I'm gonna die, you know what's that like huh, it really sucks".


and Murphy says "Yes".


I think it's the emotion with both characters have died, Murphy & Hob.


😢 😭 😢 😭

I was more emotional when Angie dies.

Well I wouldn't call him "evil". Society failed him. As a child, Hob was smart enough to see that even children die in old Detroit, and he opted for survival. Which meant selling his soul to the messianic Cain. He's a little sh!t don't get me wrong, but he's a product of the world The Old Man and OCP built for him.

That wasn't emotional, it was a satisfying payoff

It was emotionally satisfying.

Seeing this film as a young teen, I was always happy that Hobb was out of the picture. He was always an evil kid and the writers basically wrote adult material for him, likely being raised on the streets of Old Detroit.
