What small moments felt out of character for the Ted Lasso universe? I don’t mean Nate’s arc or Keely is season 3. I mean what small event seemed like something the character wouldn’t do?
My example is Beard putting his bare ass on Rebecca’s counter top. He was odd and sexually adventurous but always seemed to have a handle on etiquette. It seemed out of character to do that.
Also Rupert putting his chance of being in the owners box to torment Rebecca for a bar bet. Those dart prizes didn’t seem equal. Picking the line-up doesn’t seem like such a big deal and I thought the stakes should have been higher to entice Rupert.
Nate quitting West Ham. Nate happily and submissively accepting the position of assistant kitman back at Richmond.
If one is at heart an ambitious, driven person, the love of a good woman and a compliment from your withholding dad isn’t going to change your essential character like that.
Nate was all over the place. In my opinion he wasn’t at all redeemed just because he worked as a waiter and got a pretty girlfriend. He was still a short sighted ingrate who fell into a career because of Ted and then threw it back in his face when he no longer felt like Richmond’s Wonder Kid.
Realistically he wouldn’t go back to Richmond, the players would go back to treating him terribly because he would’ve deserved it
Yes, realistically, he would get another head coaching job in the Premier League because he’d done such a good job with West Ham and because his ego would need that validation.
