ok but if that actually is juste at the very beginning of the promo, i’m kind of afraid of the implication his words have. it sounds like he’s trying to argue with richter, so i have a very bad feeling that the writers are going to try to strain richter’s and juste’s relationship.
i’m not saying that you can’t write that. if you understand juste’s character and what he went through, you can properly write him having a rocky relationship with his grandson. i mean, i tried it, and i think it worked out fine.
i don’t know about the new writer’s understanding about juste and richter’s relationship, so i don’t know how they’re going to execute that.
however, their relationship is really easy to mess up. from what i’ve heard (in promo), they might go down the cliche ‘old man who’s stuck in his ways vs. the cocky hunter’, when it should be something a lot deeper and complex.
i really want the writers to write their relationship in a way that we can understand where the both of them are coming from. i want them to be neither wrong or right, but valid. i want the audience to know that juste is only trying to be cautious and protective of his (grand)son and that richter only wants to prove himself to a great clan of warriors.
juste tells richter that he “always has a choice” about something, making me believe that he isn’t agreeable about richter doing what he’s doing. that’s probably going to be a plot point in the show.
anyways, i wanna see where this goes, and i pray it’s handled well
