This is a massive exaggeration. I agree with you that MC has zero chance of beating Kath right now, but losing to her doesn't suddenly mean MC's life is going to be destroyed anywhere like that.
Does Kathleen strike you as the kind of person to smile and wave him off if he tied to fuck her over?
Because if she does you've missed a LOT about her character.
If he tried anything right now she would fuck him over five ways from Sunday.
Having said all that, MC seems to have Chuck on his side, no? I wonder what exactly their relationship is like. MC seems to also be able to have good relationship with August. So maybe it isn't that unrealistic to see MC having powerful people backing him? Not to mention that if MC is a social butterfly/chameleon, maybe he'd get the influential guests to be on his side too? Who knows what might happen in the future.
Both very powerful men that are also part of the club the MC would be trying to take down.
I get some people want to see him go against the club but do you really think the people that work there or are long term members and have a heavy vested interest in it's continued business are going to help him destroy everything they have done?
No, no they won't.
Being friendly with the MC is one thing, helping him ruin and possibly give them a heavy financial loss is another thing entirely.
Yes, it is pretty unrealistic about people like that backing him.
