i mean i dont have a wikipedia account so no, i wouldn't be. what does me posting this on this particular wiki even have to do with anything???

but maybe he didn't want to spoil the next season before it came out?

the next-

???

??? spoil??? the next season??? what does this have to do in the context of anything??? i wasn't aware that lexa's death, which had already happened by the time he went off on that podcast of his, was a spoiler.

''Really? I am pretty sure it was their sale pitch from day one.''

if you had bothered to read anything after that, you'd notice that i was pointing out the ridiculousness of jroth using that as an excuse for all the senseless, meaningless deaths that have occurred this season.

That is not a mentality, its basic marketing and entertainment.

soooooooo hollywood should just stay cis and straight and white bc that's the "safe" thing to do because that'll get them the most money. it should never push the envelope when it comes to these things. representation doesn't matter,,,,,,,,,, and shouldn't be included at all,,,,,,,,,,,

yes, it's very much a mentality. it's a mentality that's been ridiculously normalized, but it's still a mentality.

The main theme had been planned from the start.

then explain to me why that after 307 at least four to five episodes of this show has not passed the bechdel test. explain to me why clarke's 3b plot has been largely devoted to propping up bellamy "i killed 300 grounders but i have been #Redeemed!" blake's manpain. explain to me why bellamy is suddenly being coded as the main hero of the story. explain to me clarke's 3b character assassination. explain to me why she could barely even look at finn in s2 after he mowed down the grounder village, and suddenly she's just doling out "hugs all around!!!!" to mass murderer bellamy blake. explain to me why all the women in the show are constantly portrayed as "sucking up their pain" in the name of "being strong characters," whereas men get entire arcs devoted to their manpain (crappily written, but that's not the point).

explain to me why clarke griffin is no longer the main character in her own story.

yep, the 100 is all about its ~female representation~, i can totally see that.

Clarke is awesome.

aaaand..........when did i ever say she wasn't????

which is better then the usual superficial representation lip service.

as soon as jroth began baiting for clexa and acting like lexa was going to survive the entire season, it became "superficial representation lip service."
