Cottonmouth vs. Domingo

This could be seen as the turning point of Cottonmouth’s arc, the moment when the audience is led to realize that the violent gangster’s days are numbered. The scene involves a visit by Domingo to Stokes’ lair after the botched gun deal.

The impression is that Domingo wouldn’t be a match for the towering Cottonmouth – especially since he’s on the enemy’s turf. But, surprisingly, he is more than a match. Sure, the only weapons used are words – but they cut deeper than any knife.

The way Domingo diminishes Cottonmouth by littering is exceptional, especially if paired with the whole Animal Planet speech and what we already knew about Stokes. The moment when the second pack of chocolate falls on the ground is the moment that marks the villain’s decline.

Maybe he should have listened to Shades.
