Who's to blame for Apollo's death?

Common sense would say Drago but Creed obviously couldn't defend himself and the ref did nothing to stop the fight.

Rocky also stood on the sidelines and watched his friend get beaten to death when he could've ended the fight by throwing in the towel.

Or you can just say it was all Apollo's fault for being a prideful idiot who put himself in that situation and deserved what he got.

Thoughts.

1) F*CKING SPOILERS IN THE THREAD TITLE!

2) I picked other, because I still think his mustache is to blame. A man simply shouldn't have a mustache that thick and well groomed if he can't fight. It gives you way too much confidence.

I voted his pride. Sure, Rocky coulda threw in the towel, but ultimately, Apollo knew better than to keep going even though he was getting his arse kicked. Little thing called 'self-responsibility'.

this.


but if his mustache would've been an option i'm not gonna lie , i would've chose it.

Ref's fault. He would've lost his job for sure in real life, maybe even gotten sued -- Apollo was clearly getting hammered and it's not up to Apollo to decide how much more he can fight, that's the ref's call.

Drago, because...um....COMMUNISM!!!!

I feel awful for having laughed at Jester's joke. But I did.

Your resolve is weakening, Brodie.

Apollo's entrance was barely enough to sum up his Ego, but the major fault lies on the referee

F*ck that. It's James Brown's fault!

Carl Weathers pretty much dies in every movie he's in anyway.

Remember Action Jackson?

/sarcasm

Also, Liam Neeson. Or at least it seemed like he used to before he became an action star in Taken.

So Winters, does your reasoning come from the oft misquoted Proverbs 16:8:
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."

Nope, it's just that the first three Liam movies I saw were The Phantom Menace, Batman Begins, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. In all three, his character died... apparently... or at least for a certain length of time.

Yeah...well...them maybe...but Creed...what about him?

Oh, and can I change my vote to "Writer-Sylvester Stallone"? I mean, Carl Weathers comes to Sly and says, "I think I'm ready to move on from the Rocky movies." And Sly's all like, "UH, ok man. I really wanted to use Apollo in Rocky IV...but...whatever." "Ok, fine I'll do one more...even if it kills me." "Kills me you say..." "Sly...what's that look. I don't like that look."

He brought it on himself. Anyone who wears US flag themed apparel deserves to die. So tacky.

Robert Tepper killed Apollo, because without his death we would never have gotten a good opportunity to enjoy this epic montage:

Maybe it was James Brown. His performance was subpar and his lack of funk didn't give Apollo enough energy to fight Drago efficiently.

I think you guys are onto something here
