Aren't the Fast and Furious crews straight up villains?

I rewatched that Brazil heist.

There's no way that a shit ton of people didn't die during that.

And then there was that whole bridge chase one that they caused in the film after where people clearly died.

No matter where Dom goes.

Death follows.

They're a heist crew looking out for themselves. Wouldnt call them "villains" but theyre definitely criminals

I guess they're more anti-heroes than anything. Loveable outlaws that end up doing good. Similar to the crew in Firefly.

They're criminals, but everyone else is painted as worse so we don't notice. It's actually the same technique used to make Riddick seem somewhat sympathetic.

They also happen to do good things on occasion by accident.

Why do you think I'm hunting them down?

He did kind of have it coming.

Does this look like a villain to you?

lol I just noticed he starts flying before the car makes impact. Dominic Toretto is a super hero confirmed.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Dom just wants to expand his rock collection. I thought the whole point of Fast Five was him finding his favourite rock on the ground and then protecting it.

What if Fast and Furious was a prequel franchise to Riddick

Fast and Furious franchise superhero origin stories confirmed?

Paper or plastic?
I just thought how hilarious would it be if at the end of 7 it is revealed that Dom is a mass murderer who (unbeknownst to himself) has been having psychotic episodes for the past several years. Like, none of the supporting cast actually existed. They were all a figment of his imagination.

And yeah, "ride or die" is just something he says before he goes on one of his rampages.

...I don't think that matters? The impact of the car doesn't give him any more forward momentum, does it?

They're criminals who are less bad than the actual bad guys.

This is what it boils down to. Kinda like The Shield. Most of the time, Vic is a bad guy that isn't quite as bad as the other bad guys he's tracking down. Most of the time.

It also started out with Walt that he wasn't as bad of a guy as the other people he was dealing with.

It's a way we can root for people who are bad guys. Just make sure they're surrounded by worse guys.

He should be moving as fast as the car on top of it, then only outpacing the car once the car is no longer moving. He's already way past the front of the car and flying before the car stops moving. That's impossible.

Shhhh dont ruin this. Only Drake in Uncharted is a mass murderer. People die in Hollywood films all the time due to actions or inaction of the protagonists but no one gives a rat. Drake though, he is a real murderer.

They're like Godzilla when King Ghidorah shows up.
