Did Rocky rape Adrian?

She was a shy introvert ugly duckling.

She was saying no, but her eyes were saying yes.

So once Rocky took off those glasses, she became another woman.

This awakening sexuality also happened in Not Another Teen Movie when Janie Briggs took off her glasses and realized she was now a woman.

Consensual

Paulie basically told Rocky that she had to get the D, no matter what.

Rocky’s just a team player.

No, but Louis Skolnik and Farmer Ted a re fricking rapists.

And Jordan from Real Genius has a statutory charge coming.

Everyone be honest. This is how dating went at some point in the relationship. And if you got advise from older guys, they always said, "If you don't try on the first date, you'll never have success there. I'm not saying you had to have sex on the first date, but you had to let her know you were interested in doing that.

I'm 61, and that's the way it was when I was a teenager through my 20's. With the #MeToo movement going on,I've talked with my 85 year old mother about it. She said that's the way it was between men and women when she was that age too.

If it's wrong now, then I feel sorry for people. At least it's an honest approach.

Rocky was a horrible human being, especially with how he kept Paulie down all those years

Paulie proved to be useless and undependable.

Rocky protected Paulie from himself.

The only problem I ever had with Rocky is how bad he always Kept Paulie down. And he always discarded that notion because the truth was the only opponent that he knew he could not beat.

Paulie always went out of his way to help Rocky have a life. Even introduced him to a girl to help him lose his virginity, helped him find honest work, gave him food, invited him to holidays and gave him friendship when no one wanted to know him. He helped him train when he was just a loser..but he was still good enough for Paulie. He then pays his kindness and friendship back by desecrating the innocence of Paulie's baby sister. But, unlike Tony Montana..Paulie let's it go. He can find it in him to forgive this man. He wants to see good in Robert Balboa.

Then while under Paulie's guidance, Rocky gets a shot. Rocky makes it big. Thats when all the leeches come. Rocky gets lost in the fame, he forgets who he is and where he came from. Keeps Paulie around to rub his success in his face, which in turn fuels Paul's alcoholism to hide his pain of such betrayal. He knows that he should have known from that very moment, in which he was made to get out of the camera shot for television coverage of the first fight, where he allowed them to shoot..before he had even made it. (That was Paulie's meat rocky was beating btw...and guess who's check that came out of?)

Rocky then blows all his money after that first fight and taste of success, and Paulie is there to help him save face. He takes over his car payments and does his hardest to help him find work. He then talks some sense into his sister and pushes rocky to his now second chance..and sees it a cold living room as rocky felt he shouldnt be on television. He was at home, doing what rocky should have been doing.

Rocky then uses his fame to glad-hand and take Paulie's friends away from him. People barely recognize him in places hes been coming for decades. More of Rocky's torture, further isolating him.

Now as he reaches his lowest point he finds himself in jail..Rocky comes alone and then in cruel words, provokes him to a fight in a parking lot (after discarding the fake Rolex he gave him "never kept good time"), but quickly realizes Paulie can hit harder than anyone hes faced..so he plays it down and ends it fast before he gets really hurt. As he is broken emotionally..Rocky then makes him beg for a job. And even after doing this..he still defends rocky from Thunderlips, distracting him by giving up his own body and well being, only then causing rocky to get the upper hand.

Look back in his corner. Who was always there when Mick wasnt? If rocky would have not been so arrogant..if he had listened to and followed Paulie's gameplan, and did exactly what paulie said, he would have never lost his belt to lang. At times..I think he threw it on purpose just to make Paulie look bad. He then, knowing Paulie's level of inebriation..attempts to drown Paulie while training at a pool for a champisonship rematch. (That he clearly won easily when it wasnt "Just Paulie giving advice")

Paulie stands up to communism on american tv, and then goes to russia and to be on world television to help END it.

Rocky then blames Paulie for losing his fortune. Paulie allows himself to be used as a scapegoat. Rocky then desperately needs and wants the spotlight and fortune back and lives vicariously through another man. Rocky again forgets those closest to him..a dismayed Paulie steps in and begins training and spending more time with his nephew who has been having a horrible adjustment. Soon, Rocky's jealousy quickly ruins this new relationship and is challenged to a fight in a street by the new champion. Rocky only accepts the challenge after the new champion hurts his fist against Paulie's body. Rocky takes advantage, and ruins a young man's promising career.

So your mom was dtf on the first date?

I get that this was the context, but it took a good actress to pull it off. It could have easily become very "rape-like" if she hadn't.

Still, this works in the movies. Not something I imagine would work as a defense in court.
