So this is who Bellamy is because they've made him this way, but it's simply who he is now, if you know what I mean. But I'll always have season 2 Bellamy, who was one of my favourite characters on television. Yes, but when a character is developed for the first time, his essence is established. His morals, his ideology and his psychology. Through further development the appearance and actions are made. So, Bellamy's essence is his loyalty to his cause (protecting those he cares about at all costs), making bad choices when no one is there to tell him that he is wrong, he has a strong sense of duty and family and a very bad habit of doing evil in someone else's name. Those are what the writer's failed to show properly and are ruining the character. Remember people wanted Murphy to off himself but now, we kinda like the jerk. That's good writing. Bell? Bad writing! I totally get what you're saying, I just mean that, at the end of the day, this is who Bellamy is. This is canon. We can't excuse a character's actions because we don't think they would've actually done those things if they were real. In the end, the writers have complete control over Bellamy. Just me personally, I can't be lenient in my criticisms of him just because I think he's acting OOC.
