frenchmurdock replied to your post: i know what the netflix writers were trying to do...
elodie didnt play her as a sociopath???
i know god bless elodie yung. i also, and to this day i will continue to say that a lot of the tropes surrounding elektra and her background and the lack of sympathy the narrative provides her is well racist. like a child soldier background should afford elektra INCREDIBLE amounts of sympathy rather than like proof she’s always been a killer ??? but it’s elektra’s violence that’s played up, not the fact that’s horrifying a twelve year old girl is fighting three grown teenagers.
but in all the interviews she’s always like “the writers wanted her to be a sociopath but i saw her as someone torn between two parts of herself” like god bless elodie yung. i’m terrified of the elektra we would have had from any other actress.
