I end up really protective of teenage girls, which is interesting because I didn't love teenage girl drama when I was a teenage girl, lol. But I'm so tired of them being used for views and clicks and then completely demeaned and exploited.

Yes! The show had an utterly bizarre ending, that disregarded absolutely everything before it. Seriously... Dan, as GG, being shocked and horrified at his own updates requires a level of mental gymnastics not possible, lol. The writers there, like The OC, had a total disregard for their teenage fandom and really treated them like fools.

Yeah, I remember seeing a video about how little sense him being GG was and it wasn't really planned at all.

The ego of these writers is quite amusing really, what in the world do they think they are creating that teenage girls are above them somehow? I hope their exploitation of them continues to perpetually backfire.

It reminds me of how Josh and Stephanie are still asked, to this day, about Marissa's death. It will follow their careers forever, lol.

**stlavin95** · 11-10-2022, 02:56 AM

It will, thank god for that lol

**Cristofle** · 11-10-2022, 06:22 PM

Well, killing Marissa was a total unforced error. Based on a bad perception of the overall fandom.

**stlavin95** · 11-11-2022, 01:00 AM

Sure was and it will always be known as one too.

**Cristofle** · 11-11-2022, 07:14 PM

I still wish more show runners would take it as the cautionary tale it is, though.

**stlavin95** · 11-12-2022, 01:56 AM

Same here

**Cristofle** · 11-12-2022, 08:08 PM

If it's not a show that obviously has these kinds of things coming (so Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, etc), then major deaths really SHOULDN'T be used for shock value. Even ON those shows, I've seen mistakes made. They killed Opie off too soon on SoA.

**stlavin95** · 11-13-2022, 02:13 AM

Think they could have done a bit later in the season, but I saw it coming after they killed Piney.

Junk_Yard_Slut · 11-13-2022, 01:52 PM

It's such a desperately ploy too.

If they want to commit to that storyline that the full consequences of it need to be realised, not neatly wrapped up in a few episodes (if at all).

**Cristofle** · 11-13-2022, 06:15 PM

Opie was coming to a tragic end from the pilot, but I think the end was a little too premature for its impact on Jax.

That's the frustrating thing. As a culture, the realty of death is very uncomfortable. We don't want to look at it too long. Particularly a parent losing a child - that will essentially ruin the parent's life and all they'll have left, forever, is the remnants they manage to put back together. So TV shows kill characters for shock value and then skip past the uncomfortable, long-term aspects of grief.

**stlavin95** · 11-14-2022, 02:47 AM

That's true, but I think Sons could have finished a bit early than what it did tbh.

**Cristofle** · 11-14-2022, 05:25 PM

Honestly, yeah, it could have ended a season earlier. Lord knows Gemma went on too long, lol.

**stlavin95** · 11-15-2022, 02:26 AM

Definitely, lol

Plus there was a bit of a filler in the last 2 or 3 seasons
