Okay, here's a more literal example- what if Indiana Jones never found the grail. But it's okay, cause he's a cool character right? But the whole movie you want him to get the grail and then he doesn't-that sucks.
As I see it, Dante was gonna clean up his act at the end of Clerks. To me, the point was he was gonna stop bitching about it and move on. Or stop bitching about it and deal better. or something. Anything. Grow. A little.
You're saying a.)he doesn't need to, and b.) he shouldn't. I'm sorry, fuck that. Potential new fans be damned. Smith, I believe, is talented enough to make Dante interesting without him whining about working in the Quick Stop. Surely, you must agree with that. You can't be that stubborn and defensive.
And if Kevin had Dante start dating Aimee Mann and become a hit movie director you'd be cheering his choice along louder than any of us. SO don't pass me this garbled nonsense.
And as for thinking way too hard about it, I think way too hard about everything. Except for these posts. Those, I just kinda throw up words. Otherwise, I'm a think-think-thinking man, and for most of the people on this board, I'm sure that you'd all say it's wasted as I am incapable of having a coherent thought and whatnot.
Anyway, I'm just saying I'd like Dante to get out of the Quick Stop for sake of the first movie. Otherwise, it's just a sequal. And sequals suck.
