Should I watch the other seasons?

For those of you who have seen the second and third season, my question to you is this: does Rock ever stop being a whiny little bitch?

but I'm not sure that I'm gonna get any kind of entertainment out of it based on how Rock is being framed as 100% in the right for a lot of his little stints of morality, and how he seems to be her "savior" when it comes to his attitude. (But maybe that's the whole fantasy of this show, that you get to "fix" a girl like Revy?)

TL;DR I need some opinions on how Rock progresses as a character because I don't want to waste my time watching Revy have a "change of heart" because of this annoying little manlet.

Yes , the 2nd half of the 2nd Season , and especially its ending , completely changed Rock.



In my opinion , it's exactly what the relationship Rock and Revy is about.

Revy experienced many things that made her believe that the world is all black.
Or atleast , it's what she show to other , as she know that it's in reality grayish , but think that she doesn't have the right to enjoy it.
She seems to like the fact that there is a little somewhere where peoples aren't as damned as herself.
Rock is totally white/innocent , but is little by little corrupted by the darknes of Roanapur , and it makes Revy extremely uneasy.

Yes he develops a lot. He becomes more cunning and less innocent.

Once you get to Roberta’s blood trail, one of the key plot points is that Rock is becoming more cold and manipulative because of his surroundings and experiences in the city.

Revy is conflicted because she always saw Rock as innocent and different from everyone in the city and she liked that about him. So she isn’t sure how she feels about how the city is changing him.

So it’s kind of the opposite of the way you think it will go. Instead of Revy going more towards Rock’s mentality, it’s actually Rock going more towards Revy’s.

So, I finished season 1 and loved it (for the most part). Just like half this website, I think that Revy is an amazing character and high key best girl. But good God, Rock got on my nerves. By the time we got to the end every single time Revy sarcastically pressed her gun to his head I kept praying that she'd blow his brains out. His pretentious monologues drive me up a wall and I feel like a lot of it has to do with A) Japanese cultural ideologies (which isn't something that bothers me that much) but B) it really seems to impact Revy's arc in a way which ... I feel kind of iffy about.

For those of you who have seen the second and third season, my question to you is this: does Rock ever stop being a whiny little bitch? It's not that I'm afraid of Revy changing, I think she has the potential for a really compelling character arc across these seasons, but I'm not sure that I'm gonna get any kind of entertainment out of it based on how Rock is being framed as 100% in the right for a lot of his little stints of morality, and how he seems to be her "savior" when it comes to his attitude.

finally, a response that directly addresses my concerns ))) thank you for being honest! as much as i adored season 1, i think the direction I’d want revy to go is still ultimately a lot more interesting in my head than it seems the latter seasons go.

It's really hard for me to phrase this concisely, but I guess I can summarize it this way: It's not that I am hoping to have Revy go in any one particular direction (I'd be just as interested in a 'redemption' arc for her as I would be in seeing her completely lose her shit), I just don't want it to be framed like Rock is the one that "fixed" her.
