The thing that Max fears the most is letting his friends and family see him like this... again. After all, what would he do if he scared away the people that mean the world to him?

I can relate. I grew up with severe anger issues and eventually I would snap and beat the shit out of the kids bullying me. It felt wrong but also right. I was always short, so I got tired of getting picked on

Sadly, he's probably also just an insecure kid. That might even look up to or fancy Max.
But also, if you get bullied and mentally accosted enough you might lash out. I sure did.. Not great if you have access to this sort of weapon stuff then though...[code][/code]

From personal experience. One of them was in love with me, another few were just insecure and needed a weaker target to feel valid and then there was the abused boy that become one of my best friends for years.
It could be so many reasons, it's a good thing You know why he's so obsessed with pissing Max off though ;)

Okay, I know this scene is supposed to be dramatic and emotional and all, but my depraved, horny brain just wants to headcanon the dad as having put Max through a whole brainwashing regimen and the "stand down" is one of many post-hypnotic triggers. In this specific one's case, to control his son's violent impulses.

While I can see why Max did what he did. He might have taken it too far, even if the other kid was an asshole and started it. I don't know what's with the sword, but Max is going to be in big trouble.

Me thinks this was a "black out with rage" moment for Max, which... I've been there, it's not a pleasant place to come back from. (I was always a cat too weak to have done any serious damage, tho...) Beating the hell out of your bully with a training sword, while fun, isn't going to mean he's not gonna get a wooppin~ Dad doesn't even sound mad, just disappointed, which is even worse!
Good news is - Nathan should fuck off for a while, maybe he'll even process whatever's goin on in that little mind of his and have a deep and soulful crashout at Max later.
(I will say, having seen that art piece where him and Max were on the bench outside the nurse's or principal's office at school and Max getting love and support from his parents while Nathan was left floating in a sea of red... I think the core to this might be a "how dare you have a loving family and I don't" sorta jealousy. Which, especially if it's abusive, crashing out about it at Max might be a safe bet. His dad IS a cop after all, so if he tells Max his dad wakes him up with a belt to the snoz every morning as some flex, it might get back to him. Then he can be rescued and finally mellow the fuck out and become well adjusted... Through the power of therapy~ probably lol) (Also it might give Dad a reason to move him in with them and let Max fuck the snot outta him... Sorry, a bit of shameless self indulgence there XP)

Hate to say it but in my experience physically retaliating against a certain kind of bully is the only way to get them to leave you alone. Can't blame him for that

I see it with my adult eyes know, I should have done that to that ONE particular bully 22 years ago when I was in vocational high school, who ruined me.
