because the character at the start would have done anything to put on a suit of power armor and feel like a badass bossing his inferiors around.

Can the show make up its mind about if this is what he wants, or if he believes in some higher ideal?

I'm struggling to understand what we're supposed to think about him being cruel to his friend, once his friend was assigned to be his squire.

Thaddeus was his bully. He's exploiting the power differential of posing as a knight to gently caress with him.

that dude wasn't his friend, Thaddeus beat the poo poo out of him since they first met

the pathos is that we learn hazing is a part of the BoS lifestyle (and we see it echoed when Max first meets Knight Titus) and Max decides at that point "ah gently caress that, I won't perpetuate that after all"

Max is pretty simple

he's a kid who was raised by his cool older brother(hood) only he's reaching the age where he realizes his cool older brother is maybe actually an rear end in a top hat and a loser

season 2 requires two things. first it must crash to desktop when you try to watch episode 1 and second it must continue to crash to desktop at random throughout the season

He believes in a higher ideal like an abstract - kinda like american social liberals do about socialism but will do nothing to aid it materially. He bosses thaddeus around because he has a mean streak to him and wants to continue that so he asks thaddeus to diss maximus. Thaddeus just comes out and says that maximus wasn't that bad and he hoped he had found someone else to torture in turn. Its about as good as it gets in a cult.

Right after that he goes ahead and tries to protect thaddeus from direct harm whenever possible with the big humanoid-fish monster that swallowed the head. This of course makes him far more heroic than the actual boston shithead who played knight titus before.

The ironic resemblance of his panicked awkward sprint into danger to save the squire he hated, to Titus' panicked awkward sprint hoping the bear went for his squire instead of him, was pretty great.

I loved Michael Rappaport way back on Boston Public, I liked him as (an albeit low tier) Justified villain, and that’s all I choose to know about him and this he’s cool in my book.
