A long rant on the whole show.
The problem isn't that we didn't get the endgame. The problem is we were baited, practically termed idiots in the post-season interviews, on top of that, the hate, the petty comments we all had to go through just because we liked a ship.
The problem was with the storytelling. Let's be honest, it wasn't strong. I felt like I was supposed to be Team Conrad, but I never got the reason behind why I should be Team Conrad.
If the creators of the show wanted us to switch sides, then at least give us a good story which genuinely wants us to switch sides rather than ruining our favorite characters. It just makes us resent then even more.
It didn't help that whatever we saw on screen was termed as 'delusional' or 'idiotic'. We just wanted a good story, is it that difficult to ask for one?
You're telling me that Jeremiah, who was practically begging for Belly to go to Paris, is now suddenly fine with her not going. You're telling me that Jeremiah, who took care of his mother and watched her slowly die, just became a frat boy. You're telling me that Jeremiah, who was the second choice his whole life, his brother, heck, even his mother, thought that he was just a good-looking guy, and his father was a piece of shit, yet all his insecurities were proven to be true, and that's his literal ending. You're telling me that the guy who told the female lead to go look in the mirror some more, makes her cry every single time, mocks her, ruins her marriage, is the endgame. Like, what is going on?
I'm also hurt by the amount of character assassination Jeremiah had to go through and the hate he and Gavin got. They didn't deserve it, yet they (especially Jeremiah) were trolled brutally and just…disrespected.
And genuinely, STOP WITH THE HATE ON BELLY! Yeah, she shouldn't have switched between the brothers so much, but making choking edits of her just because she rejected your favourite character is so fucking insane. And these are the same people who yell about how it's "anti-feminist" to be Team Jeremiah, and hate on every person (Drew, JLaw) and shame them just because they don't agree with them. Disgusting.
