John Murphy is and forever will be the greatest character on The 100
His character development is outstanding. He literally went from being a child murderer in s1, to becoming the adoptive parent to all sanctum kids. I feel like the growth this character had can only be compared to Zukoâs growth in ATLA, thatâs how amazing it is.
His redemption arc is absolutely fantastic. Throughout the seasons you can actually see how much the things and emotions that he goes through change him. He started as a stupid, irresponsible, lost kid and transformed into a wonderful man, loved by everyone around him and so caring for the ones he loved.
His love story with Emori is actually healthy and beautiful (probably the only one of his kind on The 100). And it is the kind of love that knows no boundaries and can move mountains. These two lost souls found each other and helped the other grow and become the best version of themselves. Thatâs some real soulmate material right there.
His humor is the simply the best. Some of my biggest laughs (and those were not many) came from something that Murphy said or did. His sarcasm is on point and stayed like that until the very end of the show. Also the attitude, the witt, the boldness ugh I just love him...
And last but not least: Richard Harmonâs acting is simply *chefâs kiss*. He will forever be the one and only John Murphy. No one could have brought this character to life the way he did. He was so deeply connected to his character, that you could tell by the slightest change on his face exactly what was going through Murphyâs mind. Iâm just so grateful for Richard cause Iâm sure without him Murphy simply wouldnât have been the same.
Iâm going to miss him terribly, and even though the finale was shit, Iâm so glad Murphy got his happy ending and that heâs alive, loved and well.
