I hate the points about a creators intent. Media isnt something thats set in stone, its something that is gonna be interpreted in multiple ways… and its common albeit annoying af sometimes that its not gonna be taken the same way by everyone. A creator or writer can say all they want about what they wanted the meaning to be or what it was but a show should be judged through what is visible in the writing and scenes. Its why i hate when people use her blue sky/tumblr answers as i feel that it should be obvious in the show. I understand that goose sees jax as a terrible person but the show does a bad job at portraying this. Jax is babyed and given next to no consequences. The patience with her is amazing, like why is every character so passive and accepting… i get why ragatha considering her mom or gangles slow acceptance of the abuse after so long but pomni and zooble? What?! Unlike Bojack, where his relationships r slowly ruined cuz nobody wants to put up with his shit, jax is given every single but of attention by both the show and characters, no wonder people r nicknaming it the jax show. I would like her ending, personally im against the idea that every bad character needs redeemed or to be killed… but they still need some level of push back. Its why i like her abstracting as she refused to accept help and now shes trapped with those thoughts for eternity, but its ruined by the other characters still coddling her by the end, for gods sake pomni literally goes into her head and is willing to abstract for her like who knows what wouldve happened if she wasnt saved by the others.

Jax isn’t “absolved” of anything, if anything I would say this episode showing her treatment of Ribbit is damning. She doesn’t get a happy ending where her actions are forgiven. I think showing a bad person as tragic and complicated, and ultimately someone who didn’t have to be “bad”, is much more interesting than if she had just been like, “innately evil” or something.

Ribbit is literally js fodder for jaxs story. I agree that the show doesnt paint it out to the way many haters say it does, but it is disgusting that we’re supposed to empathise with jax over her friends dying when she quite literally made them commit. Im so tired of the “u js want jax to be evil and nothing more” mentality… i like complex assholes. Hell bojack is a masterpiece to me but the way the show handles the characters is poorly. For a story u need to have passive and reactive characters, not every character is gonna get walked all over to the ends of the earth. This show is so strange in how were supposed to see them as mature adults in some ways, whilst making them act 12 in others. Id like if they portrayed them as immature adults cuz well yeah… not every adult is some all knowing messiah yet the show flip-flops. Im more pissed at how the shit around jax is treated. Its always like they can never be fully hated by someone. I dont want the whole cast to be anti-jax but there needs to be a mix. This show once again could’ve had so many nuanced talks over shit like this. I cant e if i said it in this post or another post but i like the idea of not everyone hating jax, showing that people can still have a twisted sense of love or even care for their abusers as much as they hate it.

i dont hate everything about her character tho cuz duh - i love when characters who r trans or any other minority arent treated like saints so its refreshing, and i like her death and the fact that she couldve became a better person like u said.

Hell i like their backstory as i lwk relate to it alot especially with the mom stuff. Actually pisses me off that alot of tadc haters r defending his mom and saying jax hit her unprovoked… like trust me mental abuse and parents who act hot and cold like that r horrible for your brain to deal with, and its annoying that people r so much on the hate bandwagon that they try to villainise her in her own backstory. Tbh i think the only issue with ther story is i would’ve liked if they killed their mom.. idk i think itd show more of jaxs abuse tendencies, and make it very morally grey as his mom sucks and is horrible but he still killed someone

I do think she was remorseful though, in the end when she says she killed her friends. It’s too late and it doesn’t “absolve” her, but I do think it’s real remorse.

I think it’s possible to feel empathy for a terrible person who destroyed theirs and the lives of the people around them. Like not sympathy, not agreeing with, but I think empathizing with the pain even if it’s their fault is understandable.

I also def think the show has writing problems lol, like wildly tonally inconsistent. So it was definitely a flawed portrayal of the cast and reactions imo.

People siding with the mom is wild! I can’t believe it lol. Idk if Jax had killed her mom would show abuse tendencies though? Because it would’ve been an accident right? (Personally I wished she had killed her because it seems like her mom SUCKED lol)
