* KickTheSonOfABitch: Killing [[spoiler: Joe]] was definitely horrifying, but he was such an asshole that it's impossible to sympathize when Lou [[spoiler: cuts the breaks of his car]].

None

Added DiffLines:

* VillainousValor: For all of his flaws, Lou is an extremely hard worker. The fact that he starts out with nothing and ends up running his own business is admirable in its own way.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: After proving himself a success, Joe offers Lou the chance to work for him, to which Lou bluntly refuses, much Joe’s anger. Considering that Lou ‘‘did’’ offer to work for Joe earlier, only to get curtly turned down without a second thought, Lou has every right to decline Joe’s offer, especially when the latter was so transparently interested in him, only ‘’after’’ Lou proved himself.

Fixed Lack of Empathy entry.


* LackOfEmpathy: Lou never changes his blank, emotionless expression, even as he watches death and mayhem that sometimes he causes.

* Lou apparently wants to establish a formal relationship with Rick and insists on being called "Louis" in spite of Rick repeatedly calling him "Lou." By the same token, Lou calls Rick "Richard," but Rick only refers to himself as "Rick."
* Lou insists that Video Production News be spoken of using a very specific tagline.
* Lou also isn't threatening you, he's ''negotiating'' with you.

* AxCrazy: Lou is of the more calm and stoic variety, but the dude isn’t afraid to get dozens of innocent people hurt or killed, and seems to enjoy the chaos he starts.
