How does anyone defend Hasan from this absolutely bitch made behaviour related to ducking the Candyman? At every opportunity he's sounded genuinely unnerved at the prospect of Sam beating the fuck out of him. There's no room for irony even here, he just acts like a scared bitch the entire time. No jokes, no ducking or weaving, just straight up embarrassment.
It's like watching a buddy in your friend group that someone struck a nerve with and rather than play it off he suddenly clams up and things get awkward so that guarantees shit is going to escalate and never end. The Candyman is never leaving Hasan, it's only going to get worse and worse.
