Cotton would never tell Hank that. But it doesn’t mean he didn’t felt that

Depends on if you value truth for truth's sake over giving a grieving man comfort.

Peggy was always in the wrong so yes

I've thought about this because I really love Cotton and the answer I came to was yes.

If you consider his last few moments before the conflict between him and Hank started (at least in the hospital) he did something he never had: he told Hank he didn't hate him. He wouldn't even tell President Carter he didn't hate Hank; in fact he said the opposite. I think that he was probably going to (reluctantly) admit more feelings along that line, and admit he actually cared about Hank and maybe he even respected him, but Hank ruined it by speaking out of turn and offending his sensibilities. Cotton wanted a big, tough boy like he was. He wanted Hank to be what he thought he was, except even better. Yet Hank kept buckling to his father and never fought back in any meaningful way (and in a sense let Cotton kill himself) and Cotton could never encourage that because if there's anything the man does, it's believe in his convictions.

Peggy served as a surrogate for that vital need. She had no problems cutting the crap, getting in Cotton's face and telling him how much she hated him. This served two purposes: it gave Cotton meaningful adversity (something he wanted to cultivate in Hank, who in his mind would, ideally, just be another Cotton) and an enemy to spite by finally dying. Cotton loves his convictions, he never betrays those convictions (even if they got him hurt or killed) and he loves shoving those convictions in his enemy's face. That's what Peggy did that Hank could not. He probably would have lived for a million years or at least died unhappy if Peggy wasn't around to be one last enemy to spite.

Personally I find his and Peggy's relationship more interesting than it appears at first glance. She has a pair almost as big as his, and if they were biologically-related Cotton might have gotten what he wanted in a son (in a daughter ironically.)

No, it was badass. Peggy might be a shit, but she's a badass shit.

Nice analysis, user. I never really thought about their relationship like that before.

>50 Kills
You killed more this round than your previous best.

Peggy would have been a better son than Hank and a better wife than Hank's mom

Give me your hat.

>She has a pair almost as big as his, and if they were biologically-related Cotton might have gotten what he wanted in a son

I thought that was kind of obvious. Peggy and Cotton would never surrender to each other.

Engine is the Texan tho

Yes. Cotton knew the game he was playing.

>he died just to spite her
Has any man ever been so based?

>is lying moral
No

Dying wishes? Yeah, that was fine. I think Peggy gets a complete pass for being like "um yeah he said he doesn't want to do that anymore" about cutting off his head and sending it to the Japanese embassy, or whatever it was. Also if we take later episodes into consideration, Hank did go to a lot of effort to carry out the stuff in Cotton's will, so even if he didn't fulfill all of his specific insane deathbed requests he still took a lot of his last wishes into account.

Last words? That's really up for debate. I don't have strong feelings about it either way. I will say that I can get lying about it in that it might help the other person handle it better, ex. a situation like Dale with Nancy's affair, BUT at the same time I think Hank's man enough that if told the truth of what Cotton really said it wouldn't destroy his world or anything. So there's an argument that it wouldn't have changed much if she'd told him.

I guess looking over the OP I realize I'm not really evaluating this situation on some sort of moral philosophy level; more just thinking about whether it should be seen as a betrayal of trust/negative thing or not. I do think that, unlike a lot of Peggy stuff, it was done out of good intentions.

Did I miss some TF2 Pokemon crossover art frenzy or is this a one-off thing.

this, I felt like Cotton was trying to make things right with his son but it was simply not working

It's an unofficial sequel to the pic where he stole Dawn's hat. Now he has ALL of the hats (at least, all that were known at the time of the pic's creation)

This is a comfy post.

Someone once said that cotton didn't know what he felt except anger. That Cotton could not mentally fathom the idea of "loving another man" even if that man was his son. It was beyond his reckoning and the very idea just made him angry.

No. She didn't do so out of any kindness,but to cover up her own bitchy behavior. She didn't want Hank to know she was talking shit to Cotton's face as he died.

Who cares? Over thinking a scene from a cartoon or any entertainment is pathetic and moronic.

Peggy would be too headstrong as a wife because Cotton liked doormats like Deedee or Junichiro's mother that would just take shit without question. Would it be more healthy for Cotton to have a wife that called him on his bullshit? Maybe. But he would have to somehow be in a relationship with one first. And she would fail as a daughter since Cotton probably believes daughters should be quiet and not heard, but he would probably respect her "as a person", just not "as a woman".

Peggy was a cunt but Cotton was also an asshole and in that specific incident Cotton was being real shitty and I think it's better for hank to believe he wasn't. That would make the funeral better at least.

You responded

You lost your high ground the moment you started browsing this board

How the fuck was he trying to make things right? Did we even watch the same episode?

I don't know, he seemed to openly love Good Hank, and it seemed like it wasn't just spite the first Hank, even if he was sometimes being all loving to his new baby boy to make his second one jealous.
