which character/performance did you prefer?
a while back i would have said the latter, no contest, but a few rewatches of TWBB have certainly changed that. There's no doubt that Daniel Plainview is a tremendous character, but we'd be lying to ourselves if we refused to admit that it is a tad overcooked and overbearing in parts. Bill suffers from none of that. Granted he isn't treated with nearly as much complexity and detail, but there's sheer badassery (with touched of humanity) conveyed with a great deal of subtlety and it never feels try- hard. Plus he's a much cooler character than that douchebag.
but that's just me.
what say you?
