- 🚨SPOILER WARNING for Sons of Anarchy🚨
Juice might not be the main character of Sons of Anarchy but he is the most interesting, despite his various shortcomings. His downward spiral is not only a detriment to himself, but also to the Motorcycle Club he calls his family.
Til next time... y'all be easy ✌

Juice definitely the most relatable S.O.A character. Because the harder he tried the worse things got. Definitely relatable.
The only loyal rat to ever exist
The way in which racism was presented in this show felt believable, uncomfortable, and realistic. Shying away from that stuff would have felt incredibly disingenuous. Props to the show for handling difficult subject matter well.
Good job.
Juice was backed into a corner when the truth about his father came out. In his mind if he got thrown out of the club, he had no where else to go. He couldn't live with losing the family he found in the MC. We know it because of how shit ended in the last season. He'd have been okay if he had gotten out when Gemma told him to. He just couldn't stand the thought of being alone.
I still love Juice as a member of the Samcro. It's tragic what has happened to him,but I'm glad Theo did a fantastic job on him.
Dude is a great actor
I'm now on Season 6 of SOA. I'm 66 years old. I love this show. It's been difficult. I adore the soundtrack. Juice is probably my favorite...
I'm not going to lie from the first time I saw this show I always thought juice was someone who should not be in that world he simply wasn't cut out for it juice was the classic example of trying to find a home and family in the wrong places it only made it worse because he was definitely one of my favorite characters and one of the most loyal members of Sam Cro because in his mind everything he did was for the club and it really was so I can't help but to feel sorry for how it all ended up for him
I felt the same way too,I just wish juice wasn't so weak.Juice played a great deal of significance in the club being their tech guy I'm sure their was alot to play off for his characters background that would have given us more insight into his past...in the end tho Juice turned out to be a vicious killer
I've watched SOA like 4 times and only just learned what samcro means. Thank you lmao
I can't believe he said it took him 3 times watching the whole show to find out what it meant ? I thought it was exaplained in early episodes of 1st season.
Even if I am mistaken I can't imagine any fan of the show not knowing/figuring out the SAMCRO acronoynm!!!
When i first watched it i was a lil confused too,took me till the 5th or so season to figure it out@@chrisfrank2664
I just realised they aren’t allowed to say the F word lol
Dude we need more SOA Character analysis/content on here. Keep up the great work!
Working on it! Stay tuned!
Duuuude can't tell you how happy I am to see more SOA content on here, especially analysis vids like this. Love the video, keep up the good work!
everyone had Juice getting evidence for them 😭 poor guy
I really wish I would've pointed that out in the video 😂
All Juice wanted was to be accepted but all his earnest efforts amounted to a pulverized throat while being Marilyn Manson's toy boy. Now that's tragic.
Marilyn Manson is into some creepy weird stuff
I am shocked that this video doesn't have more views. Same with your video about Jax. I came here after watching that one. I could listen to you talk about every single character in this show. You deserve a million followers! 100 percent, Subscribed ❤ can't wait for more content! You rock, Josh!!
I swear i finished mayans recently and was look for videos like these and there's none. This guys gotta lot of work to do
Excellent analysis, I've subscribed. It really felt like Juice was almost a non-character in the first couple of seasons to be honest, like the writers didn't really know what to do with him. I guess that's why he had his huge plot added in later, to actually give the character something to do lol.
Juice hurt my heart so bad. I cried for him more than Jax
When you said the show left a void..I felt that. Never the same since watchong Sons of Anarchy. It's my all time favorite and comfort show. I watched it a 7th time whilst on sofa arrest after I broke my ankle. But damn what a show. I would love to pick your brain about this show. Seems you are a big fan ❤ love both this video and Jax's video. I hope you make more ❤
If GTA was a TV show...this is definitely it!!!!
Awesome video bro I wish you well and I’m so happy I made this video
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching!
Love the character analysis bro. Keep it up cause u definitely deserve more views. Only a matter of time before the algorithm figures it out.
Amazing Video bro. I've been waiting to see more Analysis type of videos for the SOA series. I just finished the show for the first time early this year and it was the best show I've ever seen. Been watching the Spin off show and its been pretty good. Trying to judge it on its own merits has been hard for me tho XD Gonna watch SOA again. I miss the brothers. Can't wait to see more of your videos!
Thank you! I've been starved for SOA analysis their ain't hardly anything. Please do more characters
You're in for a treat tomorrow 😁
@@JoshFleeks66 I accept that
Hey man, I totally forgot the full character arc for Juice and found your video. You filled in the gaps perfectly, great job!!
Thank you! I tried lol
So happy you did this break down!! Just followed.
Appreciate it! It was one of my favorites to work on.
Exellent video! Could you possibly do an analysis of Wendy? She is the character that reminds me of my mom whenever I was younger, way before me and her got connected again
Also want to add the messed up part about Juice framing Miles is how it just added to to Opie's shit. The dude Opie sponsored get busted for "supposedly" stealing the coke that could fuck over the whole club? How do you think Opie felt about that one?
I'd really like to see more of these character analyses.
Yo this is the kind I've videos I've been searching for!!!!
Ya i never looked at it as they changed his personality, felt more like the more bs went on with him, the darker he became. It made sense to me. Im a whole lot less happy-go-lucky (to say the least) after things ive went through over the years.**same thing happens to jax over the course, he becomes a murderous maniac after the things that hes been a part of in life
This is great man loved the show great detailed talking about this sick show.
Juice was one of my very favorite characters
How did Walter win out? He sends people to show up at your door and Jax shows up at your door just because he needs the release.
Seeing a person of colour go through the details of Juices worries of being disowned and kicked out of the club is such a breath of fresh air.
I can't talk for all Sons Of Anarchy fans but as a white man myself watching sons the first time I definitely had my doubt and skeptism about this particular story. I found Juices thought process so bizzare because I couldn't imagine someone being segragated over such a small thing. I just couldn't relate but this really helped.
One thing I never got over is why the sons allowed Hispanics and other people of different Ethnicity join the club we see it with Happy and Juice before the club knew of his real race even with Chibs being a full Scottish man in an otherwise fully proud American club but it's a great show with great writing.
The show's writing and character development is suprisingly nuanced. A lot of the smaller details regarding Juice I actually didn't pick up on until my 2nd watch through. I appreciate you watching!
That's a really good video. Well done
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate it!
This is a great character analysis of Juice.nice work Josh
I swear clay has a hilarious line to gemma about his relationship with juice lol
I don’t know why but when the grim basterds got patched over I let out a yelp!
Great character and actor. I loved this show.
Im with you my brother. You will always have a friend here!!👍✌️🤘💯
I appreciate that bro 🤝
Juice has a chance of making right decisions just by leaving charming alway from samcro . Juice has a mind set of a child the things what he did was stupid. He had the money to leave California so he can get a new identity and a fresh start .
It’s sad when all these CZcams channels censor words that need to be said and discussed. “Unalive” not only sounds silly, it also makes us shy away become desensitized from important subjects and start acting like they don’t happen. It’s ok to say “suicide” and it’s ok to say “kill”, and it’s ok to say “rape”. These things happen. Stop pretending they don’t and contributing to people living in ignorance.
I agree that it does sound silly. However, as creators, we still have to comply with CZcams's TOS. It's not worth it to spend weeks or months working content just for it to be suppressed, demonetized, or taken down because you say or show something that's deemed a violation. I've seen it happen to too many small and large creators alike. If you want to grow on the platform, you have to play by their rules. It is what it is.
Best show ever. Love your videos.
He wouldnt even defend himself in jail...why? His scenes in jail were so hard to watch. I really liked his character.
When I finished watching the entire series of soa. I cannot help but notice that there were color members in the sons club. Chico, montez and Armando were Mexican browns members. Which I find odd that colors were not allowed in. Lastly v lin was the first Asian member in the club. Juice should've been frightening about being half black considering Puerto Ricans are mix race brown and black.
Great review!!
I always saw the ads on FX for SOA growing up but never bothered with it. I watched the complete series last year after my bf introduced it to me and it’s one of my favorites now too. He owns the cut and I bought him the rings but I always felt so bad for Juice, as the seasons progressed, it seemed like he couldn’t catch a break.
The song at @02:42 reminds me of @Josh Fleeks, in his younger years of course!
a family at all is more important to him than even loyalty to the family. contradiction of what the patch represents on it's own and what it represents to him, specifically, is what makes trying to get away with what would eventually kill him preferable to being merely banished.
juice is the little coward that could and "you went out good, sweetheart" is an all time great line in context.
I always assumed juice decided to rat because he loved the club so much and it's pretty much all He's had for many years. He clearly didn't want to lose that, whether he thought he was going to be killed or not
Jax's response to Juice made me very ok with Jax meeting Mr. Mayhem or getting his by some other means. Why? Because there were so many parallels between what Jax and Juice were going through. Even in how they went out. But in Jax's Emma and Clay like hypocrisy he couldn't acknowledge that even though Jax was incredibly and endearingly self aware.
Both had a major character turn based on their biological fathers.
Both made concessions and turned rat in order to protect themselves and justified it as if they were only trying to protect the club.
Both proliferated lies that led to a ton of unnecessary death and bloodshed.
Both could have gotten away but couldn't bring themselves to it.
Both hit the wall and realized they had no where else to turn and decided to go out with as much honor as possible, doing as much good for the club on their way out as they could.
Both were pretty self aware and smarter than they got credit for at times but not as smart as they need to be in other times.
Jax was just smarter. More important. More connected. More charismatic. And more loved by the club and others.
I loved them both and I was happy to see both of them go but I didn't want them to go at the same time.
The comment about Juice being involved in a world he didn't belong in was true. All the others could commit violence and crimes and compartmentalize it and move on, but Juice couldn't. It all haunted him. And guilt ate him alive. Having Juice kill the drug addicted woman was a major mistake. That task should have fallen to Happy or even Tig. It also annoyed me that Nero never forgave Juice when he expressed, he was sorry, but he did forgive Jax who never expressed remorse. I also think that part of the reason Juice helped Gemma was related to his guilt over Clay and the loyalty he still felt for Clay. He knew Clay would have wanted someone to step in and save Gemma and Juice did so for that reason, but Gemma being Gemma, she of course betrayed him.
And what happened to Juice in prison was so wrong. And when Jax says to Tully, "He can use a little loving" I have to say that was one moment I hated Jax. Not even Clay would have been okay with something like that.
And yes, that scene between Theo and Charlie was brilliant. I would say it ranks in the top five scenes in the series.
I also hated that Juice's last act was to die for the sake of the club maintaining a relationship with Tully's crew but no one ever knew.
Did you ever check out Mayans M.C after watching Sons of Anarchy? It is pretty good too.
I have, just waiting on that final season now! I really wanna do a character analysis on EZ at some point.
Watched the show twice and just found out what SAMCRO stands for 😅 thanks man
The Jax Teller video is now live, y'all!
czcams.com/video/l5rzyoqB3rw/video.html
Juice sounding like judas and then jax saying to him you betrayed me is wild
I dont believe Juice would have taken that route all out of fear that club would find out he was half black....I find that quite ridiculous tbh.....SOA was not the (k)lan
How do you have only 519 subs?
Sometimes the algorithm blesses me and sometimes it doesn't lmao but thank you!
Dude I did not expect to see the subs and views not be in the thousands.
I love SOA and wanted a good breakdown of aspects of the show.
Would love to discuss the realness and bizarre world of gang politics as we see through out the show.
Many think it's too unrealistic but that's coming from.perspectives of the viewer and their lack of experience with the gang politics or culture.
Or how August Marks made the genius plan to take control of Pope Indistries and the Niners but ultimately botching it because he got to egotistical and arrogant beyond Pope.
Edit.
Idk how the white gangs work so they aren't included.
I need their politics and how they are broken down in universe to understand. Same with the mob [at times]
Chibs my favorite ❤️❤️❤️
Please make the jax video!
Def second this! This video was awesome!
heyyy, please make a second video. it means a lot to watch a black man actually comment on such a white centric show. i want your opinion on jax.
It's on the way!
I love you Jooce. 🖤
Should make one on Clay Morrow 🤲❤️
Loved the show, still waiting for SOA 2. Jax son, Abel is all grown up.
I hated how you got worked in the series Juice..
seemed like most of the characters on SOA turned rat, juice just got caught
I had serious ptsd after watching soa i watched it with in a week it was to much loss in to lil time
Got a quick question do you idolize Jax and Walter White or are they just your favorite?
I find it odd that the sons or at least Samcro wouldn’t allow black members like they’re extremely racist despite them having a very good relationship with the grim bastards. That and the fact they still work with the niners even after all the beef they ended up having throughout their history.
My read. Juice would rather cut off his right nard than risk his brotherhood with The Sons, so the trade off makes all kind of sense. Best Wishes, DOC PS Add in his OCD and there's no way this man betrays his kin.
❤
With the real world implications: well a lot back in the day had those racist tendencies but were happy to look for working with clubs of other races. Also a lot of old school outlaw members said that while they didn't really care for about race guven they worked with prison politics which can be HEAVILY race based they had to adopt said outlook. Not justified really but just how it was
please make a video about tara or gemma 🫶
I think God Tier is a bit overrated. The wire, Sopranos are God their. Sons is B tier. They made it seen like street gangs or MCs control prison gangs, or give orders to then, when in reality it's the other way around.
Poor juice really was just dumb. Even being the "tech guy" isn't saying much in a group of literal boomers in the 00s.
I can’t for the life of me remember what episode it was but there was a scene with Clay and Gemma talking in bed where they mention Juice. I can’t remember exactly how it goes but Gemma I think makes fun of Clay and Juice and Clay then days to her very seriously that what he and Juice have is special. It’s a really strange moment that made me think Clay and Juice had some kind of weirdly possibly sexual relationship at one point in time. Idk. I should go watch the show again lol
It was after clay got out of prison at the beginning of season 4, they were just joking about the fact that clay didn’t get any behind bars.
@@tombstonesoda2767 yea I found the scene again it’s in the season 4 premiere. I agree it is a joke but it’s just so funny how serious Clay looks when he says that line that my friends and I have made it an inside joke that Clay and Juice have always had a very special relationship that we just never see haha
Salute RonnieBlueeyes
Dude watched a show and decided too be a son of anarchy lol
I wanna get my bike license so bad.
Go get it Brother!
You will not regret getting a bike
I hated the last season for juice 😞
The John 3:16
Your video is just retelling the story of Juice bruh, you made a two minute commentary in the beginning and two minutes in the end
That's more or less what I was going for. As I'm telling his story, I'm also going over some of the intricacies of his character. For people who haven't seen the show, without that nuance and build up starting in S4, I was worried that he would come off like a sociopath who just does shit on a whim. Or worse, he'd seem like a bad character. My script could be a little tighter though so I see your point,
Didn't like his character, just entertaining.
juice was cool til he became a rat and a traitor
