Finished the show in Two Weeks, Here are my Thoughts:
Hello! I started this show two weeks ago and finished today! I’ve posted here a couple of times and I thank those who helped give me answers and no spoilers. Here are some of my thoughts about the show that I’d love to have a discussion about, as well as hearing others opinions. I rate this show 5.5/10! (It would be an 8 but the last couple seasons ruined it)
- Raven is the only character in the show to have not done something completely reckless and wrong. Bellamy killed 300 soldiers, Octavia was Bloodreina, Clarke tried to take the bunker sneakily, etc. Raven was one of my favorite characters because of this fact, and she was super cool!
-Seasons 1-3 were amazing, 4 was great, 5 was okay, 6 and 7 were really bad…
- Wick was one of the best love interests and they wrote him off with almost no mention of him. Why make him a critical character (making him Raven’s boyfriend) just to lose him like that?
- Bellamy’s ending was very out of character. After Bellamy already made the mistake of following Pike blindly, he should have been wary of The Shepherd. I felt his story was completely ruined by this ending, and quite honestly, didn’t make sense.
- Clarke and Bellamy never dating kind of broke my heart because I shipped them so hard, but I like that they remained best friends!
- The injuries in the show, besides Raven’s leg, are very inconsistent. Murphy had his whole arm chilled on and didn’t even get a scar?
- I am someone who cries HARD at movie/show deaths, but I never cried once during this show. Why? Because every time you think a character is dead, they end up somehow being healed and living!!! It was so hard to be upset because I could never actually tell if the character was officially dead or not.
- Jasper’s death was unfortunate but I understand it. I feel like Maya’s death broke him and he never healed. I wish he would have forgiven Clarke because she never wanted to kill anyone, she was just desperate to save her people.
- Clarke’s relationship with Lexa was a bit strange to me. Lexa killed (basically) Finn, almost went to war on Clarke’s people many times, and betrayed her at Mount Weather. Their relationship felt very forced.
- I like that Murphy was a bit redeemed. He’s still a selfish dude but he went from psychotic to narcissistic and I think that’s good enough!
- Indra is amazing and I love that she became more and more motherly toward Octavia, when before she wanted all of them dead haha!
- Finn becoming crazy and killing all of those innocents also felt out of character. His whole personality was anti-murder and pain and it felt very forced for him to suddenly be all crazy, simply because Clarke was missing.
- I’ll say it again… BELLAMY SHOULDNT HAVE DIED THAT WAY!!!! It actually really makes me mad because not only did he die, but he died in a way that was so out of character AND was killed by Clarke, who literally loved him. It also felt strange that Octavia was so chill about it when normally she’d go to war for revenge. Bellamy’s death felt like a way to just get rid of his character.
- Lincoln was also an amazing character and he died too soon for my liking. That was a death that did hurt a lot because it was very obviously not going to be fixable.
- Later season characters—such as Hope, Gabriel, and Diyoza—were not my fave. I may have spelled her name wrong but I’m too irritated with the show to look up the correct spelling.
- The ending was bad, the last season was really awful and hard to follow, and I’m annoyed that Bellamy died, especially because it was such a stupid and dumb death.
That’s it for now! I may add more points if I start to remember some more. I think I’m too focused on my irritation right now. I was so addicted to the show and loved the first few seasons, but I feel it totally went down hill.
