In this scene Tybalt seeks Romeo because he is mad at Romeo for being at the party at the Capulet house, and wants revenge. In the play, this is the only reason but in the movie, Tybalt is mad at Romeo because he knows Juliet is falling for him.

∙ 8y agoTybalt is mentioned twice in Act 3 Scene 5, both times because the speaker wants to refer to someone who is dead. Mrs. Capulet reassures Juliet that, even though he was not put to death by the Prince as she had demanded, Mrs. Capulet will murder Romeo who will "then keep Tybalt company", which is to say, that he will be in the tomb like Tybalt. The reference is supposed to remind Juliet that Tybalt is dead because of Romeo so it's only fair that Romeo should join him in death. Juliet in the same scene pleads with her mother to delay the marriage to Paris, or if that is not possible, "make the bridal bed in that dim monument where Tybalt lies." That is to say, she would rather die than marry Paris.

What is Mercutio's opinion of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?
Mercutio had every intention of fighting with the Capulets and especially with Tybalt long before Romeo shows up. "Couple it with something--make it a word and a blow" is about as provocative as you can get. He's looking for a fight but Tybalt is only interested in Romeo. Romeo does not need defending (although in the 1996 movie it's played that way) from a physical assault by Tybalt. Mercutio may be making like he's defending Romeo's honour but he's really satisfying his own desire to fight with Tybalt. Romeo knows full well that his honour is best served by not fighting with his kinsmen (which since his marriage includes Tybalt) and he does not need help. Mercutio was wrong to get involved.
Why did Tybalt have all bullets but one removed from his gun and why did mercutio reach for Romeo gun to do the same?
Your question refers specifically to the 1996 Baz Luhrmann film of Romeo and Juliet, in which all references to swords are treated as references to pistols, as if "sword" had become a slangy way of talking about guns. No other production of Romeo and Juliet does this and the scene you describe is certainly not in any other production. It occurs in Act III Scene 1 of the play, just after Tybalt has spotted Romeo and called him a villain. To understand what is going on, you need to know that Tybalt has intended to challenge Romeo to a duel since Capulet refused to allow him to fight at the party. Reference to that was cut from the film, but it is in the play, and it explains this scene. One way of fighting duels is to have both parties walk a number of paces, turn and fire at each other. They get one shot each. In all duels, the participants do nothing themselves but are aided by "seconds" or assistants. The fact that Tybalt utters an insult, then puts his hands in the air, and has his "second" remove all bullets but one from his gun is a signal that he is proposing, not a free-for-all brawl, but a formal duel. Mercutio assumes that Romeo will of course accept the challenge and, offering himself as "second" to Romeo, goes to prepare Romeo's gun. But Romeo shakes his head at him; he has no intention of duelling Tybalt.
What could have romeo have done differently to avoid their tragic end?
Well, if Romeo had never let Tybalt find out he was at he party (he was the only one seen by Tybalt), Tybalt would never have challenged Romeo to a fight, and the whole street brawl would never have happened. If Romeo had answered Tybalt's challenge, Mercutio wouldn't have died protecting his honor. If Romeo had so much as asked why Tybalt insulted him like that, Mercutio wouldn't have felt the need to defend his friend's honor. Then there's always not stepping in the damned fight and just let Mercutio get his anger out...So all in all, it's pretty much Romeo's fault Mercutio had died.
Why does Tybalt come look for romeo how does Mercutio react to Tybalt?
Tybalt comes looking for Romeo because he is angered by Romeo's presence at the Capulet's party. Mercutio reacts to Tybalt with defiance and insults, ultimately provoking Tybalt into a duel that leads to Mercutio's death.

Why is the fight regarded as crucial to the outcome of romeo and Juliet?
The fight in which Tybalt kills Mercutio causes Romeo to kill Tybalt. Because Romeo kills Tybalt he is banished from Verona and is therefore separated from Juliet, who has been placed into an arranged marriage with Paris. The fight is essentially what brings about Juliet's need to fake her own death, which in turn brings about the famously tragic ending.
