I'd still say you're gutless if you don't save your brother, with or without cobra tattoo.

He was scared! watch the scene again and you can clearly see he wants to get involved but it's happening so quickly and he's petrified of Ace. Anyway I don't think Ace was going to kill Chris, probably just carve up his face.

This was an interesting scene because Ace was going to slit Chris' throat with his switchblade. The thing is, a switchblade has a pointed tip for stabbing, not a sharp edge for slicing, cutting, chopping, dicing, etc.
yeah
Ace broke his own brothers arm in the book. Can't expect much from a guy like that.

Keep in mind. These are Stephen King bullies. they are a special kind of sociopathic. More sadistic than the average movie bully or even real life bullies. they stab little brothers in the nuts, beat girls with baseball bats, dump pigs blood on prom queens, destroy a nerds car because it's nice, murder the neighborhood gay kid, with in Stephen King stories is standard bullying.

I think the relationship between chris and eyeball didn't really exist eyeball treated chris as an enemy to keep his status alongside ace,chris i think tried to remain indifferent towards his family but i think chris had too much feelings of affection and sympathy towards people and therefore i believe he loved his brother and even though he wasn't a good role model like younger siblings oftenly do they try to seek awareness off there older siblings.If your question is would eyeball let ace kill chris if the senario was real i think because eyeball did say "come on ace." he would probably intervene but none the less ace may have still killed chris with his friends holding eyeball back probably this is speaking so without gordie with the gun.I understand how you would be disturbed i would be too but i guess i didn't really think much of it,thanks for highlighting the point.

Didn't Eyeball say something to Ace? I haven't seen the movie in a while but I'd swear that when Ace started toward Chris with the knife, Eyeball said something like "Ace, come on, man", like he was trying to reason with him. Or am I totally off?
I need to watch it again, I guess.
Saying "I apologize" is the same as saying "I'm sorry." Except at a funeral. -

Yes you remembered right. Eyeball tried to stop Ace, briefly and with not much effort though. -

Eyeball indeed would've let it happen. Infact when Eyeball says "Ace, come on, man" it was King's way of showing that he didn't want Ace to kill Chris, but he was too much of a coward to do anythingother then the simple pleato stop him.

I think it was also a way of showing how off the path Ace actually is in contrast with the rest of the gang. They are all these sort of loud-mouthed bully types but in this moment and the one where Ace plays chicken with the car, we see that he really is not acting this way for show.
I think Eyeball was playing along until that point because he expected his brother to back down and then Ace pull back but at that moment, he realized neither one of them was going to stop and there was nothing he could do about it.
