Am I the only one?
I think the thing I hated most is that in episode 9, when Fawn and Dylan met again and started talking, I actually believed he had changed. Like their cute moment at the waterfall was so wholesome and heartwarming, I was really hoping they'd get back together. And in the next episode when she decided to go to the wedding and tell him how she feels, I remember jumping up in excitement.
Then of cause after they fucked he showed his true colors and pretty much told her they were done. I was literally as angry as Fawn was!!! I BELIEVED HIM!!!!! I was completely fooled. I really, REALLY believed he was a changed person. Um, wolf. But like I gotta admit, whoever wrote the previous episode did a good job, making it seem like he'd found enlightenment or whatever. It's not often that a somebody can fool you like that. Usually you can tell if an asshole is still an asshole, but Dylan REALLY had me completely fooled, just like he fooled Fawn.
I gotta wonder though if that originally WAS the plan? Perhaps the plot for the finale WAS for them to get back together, and the writers decided to change it? Who knows. But I still gotta admit it was disappointing, especially since I was rooting for them. I mean, since Devin had such great development in season 8 of Big Mouth, I was hoping Dylan had had some major off-screen development himself. Of course we know Devin's behavior is mostly the result of Petra poisoning her mind, encouraging her to care only about herself, and perhaps her mom too. But in the case of Dylan, who knows? Maybe he IS just a sex freak, or maybe he's terrified of true commitment. Who the fuck knows? But just like Devin, I can't bring myself to hate HIM either. Everybody has a reason, a story, for being how they are. While Devin's is more tragic, again what with Petra forcing her to be better than everybody, and perhaps idolizing and wanting to emulate her mother, perhaps Dylan is simply acting how he believes wolves SHOULD act?
Either way, if he DOES appear in season 2, I don't want him to show up just to be a thorn in the characters side again. Just like Devin I want to learn more ABOUT him. I was glad season 8 showed us at least a GLIMPSE of Devin's life, but I still feel they should have given us more. I just want to see more into Dylan's psyche, maybe a glimpse into his past or even home life, if he has one. Like it bothered me that he didn't even seem sympathetic about Fawn's mother, or even ASKED about her if I remember correctly. I wonder if HIS parents are still alive, if he has siblings, or ANY family for that matter. Just like Devin I'm sure his problems are rooted in his upbringing. Maybe he WILL eventually meet somebody he can finally force himself to be loyal to. I guess only time will tell. But what do y'all think?
