Fast & Furious 8: 23 WTF Moments In The Fate Of The Furious

18. The Rock & Soccer Connection

What did Agent Hobbs do after flexing his muscles and exploding out of his casts before taking down Jakande in Furious 7? He became a soccer coach to a young girl's team - on which his entirely pointless daughter plays - for some disposable LOLS at the start of the next film.

The whole segment is just bat-sh*t: from the Haka that he's clearly forced them to do (despite the way youngsters' teams discourage such vicious competitiveness) down to him forcing the government stooge to shout for the team. There's also no way a man of his physique has ever played soccer.

The point here is that there's supposed to be a sub-plot where The Rock is an absent father because of his job, to his daughter's dismay, but he's her soccer coach. He has enough time with her to coach them the Haka and get them to the final match of the championship. This is not how you write absentee father archetypes at all.
