It takes zero effort to spoiler tag something. The only reason not to when asked is to intentionally be an asshole.This is the world of the complains... for you is spoiler, for me is not because is PUBLIC. Who cares... feel free to report it or whatever.
Too big image + not everyone likes spoilers.The preview is public, not leaked. Not need for spoiler advice.
Yup, wholeheartedly agree. It was losing a lot of it's tension before that scene for similiar reasons. It doesn't even come across like he's manipulating her at times, more like he is a love-sick puppy, and all she's doing is pleasing him.I enjoy when there’s a bit more fight in the woman. In my opinion she gave up too easily thus ruining the tension. Of course I could use mental gymnastics and convince myself that it made sense, but that doesn’t restore the tension or the fight.
Is he manipulating her? Or is she manipulating him? That's the ambiguity here, which in my opinion is only a good thing.Yup, wholeheartedly agree.

Yeah, he is at times, straight out using blackmail, or using Brook's blackmail (e.g. refusing to do basketball while fully knowing Brooks reaction) in order to get some action, but it's not a consistent plot device. It seems more like the writer has avoided using the blackmail trope as much as possible, apart from certain areas where he's ran out of ideas, which throws the tempo off balance quite a lot.Is he manipulating her?

Where you're right is this: a love-sick puppy, and a younger one at that, is not a fortunate choice for antagonist.
It's true that Zach professed to have physical aims in the beginning, but he has never hidden that he has such aims from Sophie. Also, to me it is perfectly clear that he is not acting purely maliciously. I see no reason to doubt that he is genuinely in love with Sophie. Why else would he expend that much effort on her in particular? As the game makes clear, he has no problem getting younger, 'hotter' chicks. I also see no reason to doubt that he's genuinely bored of studying but only does so because Sophie wants/needs him to.There is really no wondering who is manipulating who if you've played Felix's path at all. Felix overhears a conversation in the cafeteria that makes it very clear Zach is executing a plan.
Sophie took many decisions along the way in favor of helping herself, and Felix, by using Zach/letting Zach use her.Sophie never stood a chance. Or, she stood exactly one chance and that was when you can choose No after the fountain. I like the fact that was included but also makes the inevitable corruption and betrayal sadder because she would have been happy.
I think it's possible that he loves her, at least in his own way. But I think it may be more accurate to say that he loves the challenge. Zach is a dude that not only can bang any woman he wants, but also is smart enough and athletic enough to also dominate almost any activity he wants. Sophie is his next conquest. After the 'challenge' is complete, do you think he won't get bored of her like all his other challenges?It's true that Zach professed to have physical aims in the beginning, but he has never hidden that he has such aims from Sophie.

Why is he doing it? I think there are a couple of reasons. Yes, he can get younger, hotter chicks but that's not a challenge to him as he can seemingly pull at will and therefore is not "fun" to do. I think he's chosen Sophie not only because she is hot, but also a challenge in terms of can he get this innocent, naive married woman to as he says, "choke on his cock" and beg him to "split her open". I think rather than love it's a feeling of accomplishment hence the talk about how he's fucking his "hot married teacher". I think another reason is the fact Sophie is Felix's wife. Felix had the temerity to somewhat challenge Zack in public and as a result Zack wants to make him pay. When the reveal happens I look for this to come out hurting Felix more.It's true that Zach professed to have physical aims in the beginning, but he has never hidden that he has such aims from Sophie.

Good question. It would be interesting if he revealed his true nature to Sophie now, at this point in the narrative, leading to more resistance from her, which would maintain the tension.Sophie is his next conquest. After the 'challenge' is complete, do you think he won't get bored of her like all his other challenges?
