History PlayingWith / BullyBrutality

* '''Downplayed''': Marcus gives Danny a DopeSlap once, many months ago, and hasn't gone any further with physical bullying. It's still physical violence, so the narrative goes for "NeverLiveItDown".

* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???

** Marcus is [[TheSociopath the sociopath]] and don't care about if harms other people

** Marcus injure Danny by beating him in the head, choking him, and breaking every bone in his body.

** [[GangOfBullies Marcus and his other friends]] injure Danny by beating him in the head, choking him, and breaking every bone in his body.

** Marcus gives Danny a DopeSlap once, many months ago, because Danny deserved it (he insulted Marcus' mom). It's still physical violence, so the narrative goes far past "OneMistakeNeverForgotten" and paints Marcus as a violent psychopath with a HairTriggerTemper waiting to go off just because he's TheBully.
** Marcus uses new-school methods such as cyberbullying to torture Danny 24/7. And then runs him over with his car and posts the video on [=YouTube=].

** Marcus' standard bullying tactic is to [[OneManArmy target the biggest bunch of nerds in the yard and kick all of their asses at the same time]], to show that [[SafetyAmongstMuggles if he wants you]], [[DefiedTrope he will get you and kill and maim everybody that gets in the way]].

* '''Zig Zagged''': Danny and Marcus are fighting and one of them gets a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown no holds barred beatdown]], but after the fight is revealed that the one who gets the beatdown was Marcus, but the fight happens after Marcus broke one leg of Danny's brother, but all is [[ShowWithinAShow a story that Charlie is doing]], but he thinks the part of the bully after a real bully broken one of the arms of his brother.
* '''Averted''': Marcus only gives Danny wedgies and a punch to the face.
* '''Enforced''': The writers are fans of ''Film/TheKarateKid'' or other old-school films where the main character becomes A Man by means of learning how to kick ass instead of something more "touchy-feelie", and the best way to justify said main character deciding that he needs to learn how to break people in half and then applying said knowledge liberally in order to become A Man is by giving him an enemy that will stop at nothing to break ''him'' in half. And bullies sometimes target people for no reason, so...

* '''Conversed''': "How Marcus bulliying haven't kill anibody yet?"

** The beating was so brutal that [[EvenEvilHasStandards the other students who pick on Danny were disgusted with Marcus]]. He is not only expelled from school, but he is also sentenced to juvenile jail.

* '''Implied''': Marcus is going to attack Danny. {{Ambulance Cut}} with Danny extremy beaten.

** Danny is left with head injuries at the hands of Marcus, and the students watch in delight. As he is in the hospital bed being treated for his injuries, he is contemplating on revenge against Marcus. A few weeks later, Marcus is beating up another student, until [[BullyHunter Danny]] arrives with a steel pipe (or worse yet, a ''gun''), and [[OhCrap Marcus knows what's going to happen to him...]]
** Usually Marcus would be stopped as a bully if there is a moment wherein all of the "weaklings" stand up as an army and demonstrate that Marcus just cannot take them all on. But Danny is such a psychotic BloodKnight that he '''will''' pummel of even kill as many members of this "army" as he can before going down, and has no problem demonstrating '''that'''. If the options are to be slaughtered alone or together, [[MortonsFork how the heck is it a good idea to stand up against him?]]

* '''Lampshaded''': [[{{TheUnfettered}} Marcus]] is not a common bully, he will not dope slap you and make wedgies, he will [[{{NotHoldsBarredBeatdown}}beat you to a bloody pulp]] and maybe more.

* '''Lampshaded''': ???

* '''Conversed''': If the real bullis would be so dangerous I wouldn't send my son to the school without [[AxesAtSchool a charged gun]]

* '''Deconstructed''': The beating was so brutal that [[EvenEvilHasStandards the other students who pick on Danny were disgusted with Marcus]]. He is not only expelled from school, but he is also sentenced to juvenile jail.
* '''Reconstructed''': For a given value of it... the horror Marcus brought to Danny and that criminal record (and his demonstration that he gives zero fucks about going back to jail... [[NeverGoingBackToPrison if he allows the police to put them back there]]) means that he becomes TheDreaded amongst the student body. When the new student Jimmy is apparently turned into Marcus' new toy, all the other students can do is pray for the poor bastard's soul.

* '''Justified''': Marcus thrives on violence on those who can't defend themselves.
