David Ayer to Write and Direct Fury

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

that's not really how I saw it.

Spoiler

I mean if he was just going to order him to go and hide, I dont see the point of him staying in the first place.

They all signed up to die with that last mission. They all knew it was suicide. So having him be the first to follow Wardaddy was a good moment and was a good way of showing his development from a "coward". But signing up for a suicide mission, seeing all his friends die, and then running away even if he was ordered to kinda ruined the character development to me

But to each his own

I agree with Schlosser I don't think Norman was a coward in the first place, just young and shocked at what the war was really like.

But, while he had proven himself to the crew, he still wasn't as corrupted by war as the rest of them had been. War daddy knew there was a good young man in there who could grow up and have the full life Wardaddy couldn't have whether he survived the last battle or not. That's why he ordered Norman to go, so he could go and have that life.
