They don’t call Madi’s mom the “Commander of Death” for nothing
I miss them both so much. I wish we got to see madi as the commander for longer, so much wasted potential :(
I love how Wonkru just decided to piss off 😂 5 years in a bunker, 2 apocalypses, cryosleep and only now do they figure out the Commander/Flame stuff is useless 😂
So you’re telling me we really went from Skaikru becoming the thirteenth clan to Wonkru falling apart and there now being like 16 clans all because of a Commander (respectively) but the only person who could actually unite everyone was Octavia...an illegal existing sky person??
I’ve been super confused by the whole “Clarke is the key” thing. Specifically because they should have seen in Octavias memories that Madi has (because O doesn’t know it was removed).
In the back-door pilot, Becca mentions something about connecting with the correct mind. I don’t remember the exact words but it was something along the lines of “the flame brings out more of who you are” also “if put in the wrong mind it can do great harm” (or something like that). This leads me to believe that maybe just maybe the reason Clarke is the key is because her mind works perfectly with the flame for what ever reason.
Maybe madis fear towards the flame is why her mind was weaker when connected to it and why she couldn’t control the memories, dreams, and other commanders. Maybe Clarke is the perfect choice for the flame and that’s why Cadogan thinks she is the key even though they should know she doesn’t have it.
This is just my theory about why it’s Clarke not Madi. No hate to either of them I love them both. Feel free to correct me if anything I said was wrong.
Madi is a badass queen clarke would be so proud I love her so much
Friendly Reminder
Madi Griffin, at age 6:
Watched her entire clan die slowly, and horribly
Ran the entire gauntlet of ARS before her Nightblood healed her from it
Watched her mother burn to death with radiation, in her arms
Got back up again, and used the survival tactics she already had to live alone in the valley for 50 days
All the while still fearing that the Fleimkepa scouts would come for her, and she'd have no place to hide.
the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.
