/#yes yes yes yes #this #I hate Peter being blamed for this with a passion #Peter's 'villainy' in season 4 is ridiculous #what even is the writing of this show #the bias for or against certain characters in the writing is insane #peter hale deserved better #and by that I mean he deserved better writing (via iamaslutforjatp)
just to use this as an excuse to go off: that last tag in particular is what pisses me off so much about season 4 and what it did with peter because it would have been so easy for the show to've kept peter as the final boss of the season while still allowing him to actually be a multifaceted, multidimensional, nuanced character.
like, peter being retraumatized by kate still being alive? his family's vault being robbed — and in a way that is very reminiscent of the fire? the mute almost killing him? and telling him that he's going after derek? being burned again even if it's to save his life? the chemist almost killing his daughter? (that he never got the chance to know or raise her in the first place because talia stole his memories?) being blamed for the dead pool when it was not his fault? all of the memories of the fire and the coma being brought up again? (that all of that happened because a psychic invaded his mind?) his resentment toward talia for not listening to him and not doing enough to protect her pack and getting nearly all of them killed? derek almost being killed by kate? the power and entitlement issues that peter already had prior to the fire only being exacerbated and compounded by all of those things building up throughout the course of the season? all of it finally culminating in him trying to orchestrate an attack against scott to kill him? and in a xanatos-esque gambit way that, had it worked, would have resulted in either him becoming the alpha, somebody else in the pack becoming one thus proving they have what it takes, or even scott killing him which would at least prove that scott could be trusted with the safety of the pack?
lmao nah. nope. let's not connect any of those dots at all even if they're all perfectly set up to be connected. instead let's have peter work with kate to show how super duper evil he is which also serves the bonus purpose of invalidating the sentiment that he was ever motivated by a love for his family in s1 and let's also throw in a line about how peter always broke his toys before learning to break everybody else's instead to show that he was just born badTM (so that when scott says that he was always a monster in the finale, the gullible af audience will just mindlessly nod their heads along in agreement) and let's also blame the dead pool on him for good measure, too, 'cause that makes so much sense except for how it doesn't in any way whatsoever and let's finish the whole thing off with the message about how not all monsters do monstrous things that is clearly a jab aimed at peter (and is used to prop up scott) because the writing has all the subtlety of a hand grenade.
like, it's all just so blatantly manipulative and contrived and i can't take it seriouslyyyyyy.
