“I’m not good with girls, mainly.“ Any thoughts on this line and its implications towards their friendship (and aborted romantic relationship)?
I actually almost brought this up before he said it. I didn’t really comment on this line because this was discussed back when their ship was pierced by a hundred cannon balls and sank faster than you could say “Swiss cheese”.
I do like that we got a little more elaboration on why, and how it tied back to Brian’s relationship with his father, with his father bringing him to gyms filled with macho-men to train but not really giving him much opportunity to interact with girls.
This mix of exposure to machoism and inexperience with girls also seems to have instilled some lowkey sexism in Brian, though not too much more than average, and not too prominent a part of his character. He respects women; he just has some conceptions about the differences between men and women that may not be entirely accurate. Most people do, really, I’m just saying it might be slightly more prominent than average for Brian.
