Talk:Bellamy Blake/@comment-112.206.78.32-20161005132459

The amount of hate is ridiculous. Just want to point out that Bellamy is actually the reason why I am watching and will still be watching the show. Sure he made some horrific judgements (just like about 80% of the people in the show) and the reason why he chose to do that might differ for some people. Haters say he did it out of spite and selfishness, I say he did it half of that and half because he genuinely thinks nothing good can come out of trusting grounders as they have turned on them again and again (read: Mount Weather and Echo). That said I do know he is in a problematic place right now and I do hope that the writers won't skip his redemption but I still understand his character. Just like how I understood Lexa when she decided to betray Clarke, Octavia when she lashed out her misplaced anger on Bellamy, Clarke when she did not inform others about the bomb in S2 and a lot more of the characters.

He's a mix of vulnerable and strong, weak-minded yet strong-willed. There are times that he stumbles but still I can't help but cheer for him. He has all the flaws of a human being and he's trying to get by with his flaws which is why I think I enjoyed his character development the most.
