Peggy And Cotton

The Death Of Cotton

[josephhicks]

Dying just to spite someone is such a Cotton thing to do.

Everyone's saying that Peggy lying about his last words was such a sweet thing for Hank, but I like to imagine Cotton is sitting outside the gates of Hell, frothing at the mouth as he watches Peggy lie her ass off.

Peggy did what the whole Japanese army couldn’t do. She killed Colonel Cotton Hill.😮

[Natejoe]

Meanwhile in Hell
Cotton: What you in ear for?
Stinkmeaner: I spread misery and hate across the world, “HOMI-E”.

[Natejoe]

I believe in making peace with my enemies, but when an enemy has spat on the hand of friendship too many times. They are the ones who lose to their pride. Not everyone is Vegeta, Piccolo, Gajeel, or Sasuke

[NicoUnken]

The *perfect* ending. Cotton dies out of spite to Peggy, proceeding to learn absolutely nothing. Peggy spites Cotton once and for all by blatantly lying for Hanks benefit, telling her husband what his father never had the shins to admit.

[ViViDG]

Peggy's finest moment. She finally got under Cotton's skin.

[masterzombie]

In the end cotton loses. Yes he died to spite Peggy, but Peggy stole his last word and now everyone will think he died loving his son.

[amharbinger]

Learning that the reason Cotton doesn't like Peggy is because he believed his son was too good for her is kinda heartwarming. Deep down he did care for Hank.

[raymondstheawesome]

this is more proof of peggy loving hank more than she hated cotton. she would rather have hank think good of cotton in his last hour than showing that she was right about something

[thelonewolf]

I can hear it.
“Ok Mr. Reaper let’s go. Hank’s wife wants me to live forever, and I ain’t gonna gives it to hers.”

[divinegokublack]

From all the people in the world telling this old bastard to die, it finally took someone telling him they hope he lives forever, for Cotton to kick the bucket

"Hank's Wife And Cotton"
There, fixed the title for ya.

[huntercool]

Peggy: “He told me what he wasn’t able to tell you, that is he said to tell you he loved you.”

**heart monitor starts beeping again**

Cotton: “NO I DIDN’T!!”

[colinz]

I was honestly expecting cotton's monitor to start beeping again when Peggy said he loved Hank.
Then he'd immediately refute it.

[TKConrad-fy]

We miss you Cotton. You may not have been the best father, husband, father in law, or grandfather but you brought us great joy

[NicholasCoyV]

I love how unflenching this is. Any other sitcom (especially animated) would have had him finally tell his son he loved him. But he's too damaged of a person and it wouldn't have made sense.

[drakeparker]

I always felt this interaction had something deeper. This is well after cotton helped peggy walk again and dance on his grave. He knew she didnt like him. He just wanted an adversary to go out fighting against. And the adversary he chose was peggy.

[catherga]

“This was supposed to happen to you”
I think it’s hilarious that Cotton fully expected to outlive Peggy and took her continued existence as a personal insult.
