Can we just real quick aknowledge that if Clarke behaved the way Echo does, the rest of the gang would probably straight up send her through the vortex, I really want to feel for her but can’t help but be bitter about this.
It’s true, and it’s more than a little frustrating. The coddling that Echo has been getting is frankly kind of ridiculous in my opinion, even if I do see where they’re trying to go with it. It plays into the narrative foil of it all.
Clarke burnt the palace; she refused to kill (who she thought was) Russell, even despite what he’d done and later walked the decisions she’d made in anger back. Echo tried to genocide Bardo; she had no intention at all of standing down until forced.
Clarke found out Bellamy was “dead”; her first instinct was to find the people he cared about and get them out safely. Echo found out Bellamy is “dead”; her first instinct was to impale the closest Disciple (who had nothing to do with his “death”) on the M-Cap machine.
Clarke is reunited with Octavia after finding out Bellamy was “dead”; she immediately pulls her into a hug and connects with her about that loss. Echo is reunited with Octavia after finding out Bellamy was “dead”; she weeps in the corner of their shared cell and refuses any sort of commiseration until forced.
You see where I’m going with this. Don’t get me started about, “Clarke Griffin doesn’t break.”
But yeah. I’m still vividly recalling their treatment of Clarke in seasons five and six over shit that she did to save all of their lives and/or the life of her pre-teen daughter.
Which she was right about, by the way. Not to keep bringing this up, but had everyone listened to Clarke in season five, Sheidheda wouldn’t be a problem right now. That is an issue with direct correlation from “did not listen to Clarke” to “Sheidheda’s Murder Party regains control.”
Anyway. Clarke deserves the opportunity to chew out literally everybody for as long as she pleases. I will die on this hill.
