sorry but i gotta go on and on cuz FINALLY someone agrees

(sorry that's too ong)

yeah, alike lotf, the 100 got split apart because of opposing views

clarke wanna get resources like ralph

but bellamy kinda has the upper hand (in a jack-ish way) and goes for "freedom", shown from his quote of "they say you're prisoners; i say you're survivors" and he has the upper hand because he is the one who suggest clarke splits apart to find food while he takes over, which is a difference to lotf

the piggy one: i agree, it is wells; but he got killed for a different reason tho. he got killed for being the chancellor's son; the chancellor is technically a murderer as he ordered execution of charlotte's parents. but clarke is kinda like piggy because she tends to be preachy a bit during episode two: when she lectures everyone about wristbands "you're not just killing them, you're killing us", bellamy takes over and says she's lying, and everyone goes along with him.

but NO, CHARLOTTE IS NOT ROGER. she followed bellamy's advice wrongly and she even cried after killing wells

but yeah murphy seems like roger a lot. i really hope im not judging too much but he's practically an enforcer and really became a savage. he supports bellamy in season 1 and persuades the group to kill charlotte (SEE) after getting nearly hanged

simon? fluctuates a bit. he's spiritually kind, he's connected to nature. clarke's moral slightly mirrors him a bit, but i suppose there's no simon in THE 100, because according to the plot (in season 1), the Earth has died and is kinda dangerous. so another difference from lotf: everyone already knows the environment is UNsafe, which is one of the factors that motivate clarke to get food; so the situation is more emergent here. everyone already gets cautious with the earth and therefore no one wants to connect with the nature.

so now, the difference.

though it's sci-fi like lotf and includes nuclear acopolypse, the 100 isn't sent to Earth by accident. They are tested to see if it's possible to be alive. Meanwhile in LOTF, the kids are dropped off unpredictably. And also to expand on the Earth differences in those two universes. LOTF peeps land in an environment they utterly do not know and have the absolute freedom to explore; the 100 land on Earth with a sense of purpose, and being educated on the history, they restrain themselves from exploring because they know the place is not mystical by nature.

Another thing to note is maturity. the delinquents' age varies more than those of LOTF. LOTF mainly consists of younger people, and Ralph, as the oldest, is not closer to 15. Thus, the 100 has more mature people than LOTF, and so their government is not that unstable. This may be also why Bellamy is able to have character development later on and Clarke can frame her words nicely to communicate the foods' vitality — and she can even go on a mission with other people at the start of 1st season.

Also, with the introduction to people living PRIOR TO the 100 period, that differs from LOTF too. Though the 100 is scared of them at the beginning, the story later obviously do change.

Clarke's government, though, didn't fall. That's another difference. Really wonder why. Maybe because she is mature and destined for her leadership in the later season while LOTF boys don't have anything

I'm tired right now so I'm just going to stop here. What I think about LOTF vs THE 100: I noticed the similarities too and mentioned it to my teacher, and she really agreed. But let's not forget they're not two sides of the same coin; they are actually created differently and plotted differently. The 100 didn't aim for theme of humanity as explicitly as LOTF did. What would happen if the Deliquents meet LOTF and Jack's savages though? I guess 100 would win because there're older kids to 17 and 18? Not to show bias and OP but Clarke may break Jack's stick as she's older and hey it's a stick ... Also Bellamy has a gun
