He is talking about the moment before cardin punched him which is before the ursa fight. He was talking about not when he said "leave my friends alone", but after, when Cardin was being attacked and was going to get his ass eaten(?). For the first, it's not "pessimistic", you have got to be pretty book-dumb to think it fits that description. Cynical, maybe, but not pessimistic.

Pessimistic: If things can get bad, they will get bad.

Cynical: The world is shit.

There's a difference.

For the latter, alright, I forgot about the syrup, and for that I do admit I might be wrong.

@Diego: Regarding the Semblance: If we take him as a videogame Tank, it still works as the Tank is supposed to be the one that just doesn't die and can take all shit, even if they suck at dealing damage. He could still protect others....if he can get the drawing-aggro part right.
