look, idk how to tell you this but I need a pathetic Frank Langdon losing it and confessing to Robby that he's doing awful, that his wife is divorcing him and has taken the kids, that he's lost everything that mattered to him, but that even with all of that, that he could keep going if only he knew that he could make things right between them. And seeing that he can't, he's nope nope, he needs him.

And that being what stops Robby from killing himself. Toxic codependency.

The way people talk about Langdon on here is actually so weird to me.

like you don’t have to like him. you don’t have to excuse anything he’s done. but acting like any character who gets shipped with him "deserves better" is?? gross. it turns into this thing where he’s not even treated like a character anymore, just something to reject or punish.

and it’s ironic because that’s literally the kind of mindset the show critiques. reducing someone down to their worst traits, deciding they’re beyond understanding, acting like they don’t deserve connection or care. the show goes out of its way to show how messy and complicated people are, and then the fandom flattens him into one note.

you can dislike a character without acting like they’re unworthy of being written about, explored, or even loved in fiction. that’s the whole point of engaging with complex characters

idk it just feels less like media criticism and more like moral policing at this point.
