Amos Burton I Out of the darkness

"When I woke up and opened my eyes, everything was still black"

How come Amos is so under-vidded? I keep rewatching Shainira's "What happened to you?" on a loop.

Season 5 of The Expanse returns in December the 16th 😍

Most people can see a morally colorful world and try to fit everything in either black or white. Amos is basically colorblind but still tries to understand color.

This man should have won awards for his performance it was amazing

[kevinross]

One of the most well-developed characters in Sci-Fi and acted to perfection.

I've just realized that Amos is my favorite character, complex, mysteriously traumatized, indispensable, strong, faithful, noble in his own way

[mikeoliver]

Amos is probably my pick for the best character in all of TV. He is flawed and damaged and given no reason to be as noble as he is yet he does not see himself as noble.

[Erin-Thor]

At first I thought Amos was just a sociopath you are glad is on your side. The truth is he feels, but because of his experiences knows the harshness of life… and has decided to meet it with equal force. He’s almost non-aggressive, but knows the way to stop a bully is to stand up to them.

the journey of finding his own moral compass

Amos for me is the Horatius of the Expanse.
---
“Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods”

i really felt his statement, "when i woke up everything was still black" I liked how a character in this made me feel like my early life wasnt abnormal. like i wasnt the only one

[cwgtlightstar]

Amos and drummer are the best well written characters on tv, its hard to chose but i am always a belter

[cathalodiubhain]

An excellent video of a very complex character. One of the best in the show. For me Drummer is the best character in the show. As for the show itself hands down the best sci fi of all times..

Amos is definitely noble and is also invested in justice. I remember once I heard that it can be difficult yo define justice, as it can be difficult to define light, yet, just like light, everybody knows when it is absent. I see the Amos caharacter having difficulty understanding the intricacies of justice, yet he knows when something is fair, just, and the right thing to do, and tries to follow that path, others wouldnt even consider it, like the asshat on Ilo. Amos would be willing to give his life for a kid in danger if necessary, while monsters like Marco are willing to sacrifice millions for power.

I always loved this section of the 3rd book.
Bull: "These people need reassurance that they'll be protected long enough to finish their broadcast." Holden blinked twice, once at Bull, once at the three women sitting cross-legged on the floor(Monica, Anna, and Tilly). Anna had to suppress a giggle. Holden was so comically earnest she just had to give him a hug and pat him on the head. "Amos will make sure you're not interrupted." He finally said. "Right" Bull said. "Tell them why that's reassuring." "Oh, well when Amos is angry he's the meanest scariest person I've ever met and he'd walk across a sea of corpses he personally created to help a friend. And one of his good friends just got murdered by the people who are going to take this office. And the last people I'd want to be are the ones who are going to try to break in to stop you. Amos doesn't process grief well, it usually turns into anger or violence for him. I have a feeling he's going to process the shit out of it on some Ashford loyalists." "Killing people won't make him feel better"(Anna) "Actually" Holden said with a half smile. "I think it might for him, but Amos is a special case. You'd be right about most anyone else."

The expanse is the best sci-fi series ever.

[waltermc]

There is a unspoken rule that so many fan video makers fail to grasp and always break.
Never show video of someone talking, and not have the voice audio to go with it.
Thank you for not breaking that rule.
this was a really well made video

[BooYahRadley]

what a random find on your vid. love this, love you for making it! Never to discount what Cranson did with Breaking Bad where he went from wholesome to hated - Amos had a path of healing that taught him how to love. Yeah, there's still violence but it's like his protection over himself, that we know he had to learn (sadly, fuck..) at a young age, was a shell that just kept growing until protection was all he knew. But what an arc. Great vid, sharing!!

[nathantwilight]

Same. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making a good Amos video. i'm not ashamed to say I cry every time i rewatch his best moments videos. And i'm from Baltimore and had my fare share of punches to the face. Never hit back, because you never know what the ppl hitting you have gone through.

[thomaskositzki]

Amos is absolutely ruthless and unflinching when it comes to dishing out violence, still he cares about who he does it for. That is one interesting character!
So cool you made the video, well done and on my most favourite character of the show. :D

[silafuyang]

Good stuff. Amos' character is amazingly well done.

[luminyam]

The role of a lifetime and the actor who nailed it.
