The more time passes and our society descends into the hellscape of misogyny, femicide, etc the worse this looks. I mean at the time it was bad, but in retrospect it’s so much worse. It just goes to show that (the mostly LGBTQ) fans were so right in demanding the character eff off and never come back and then being upset every time they kept trying to shove him down everybody’s throat as a “reformed hero” in unwanted future cameos.
“No more Mon-El” trending while they were filming the series finale… a moment. 🤌
Anyway it’s absolutely wild that they really made this character the lead heroine’s love interest for two whole seasons. Especially considering he was the self-insert for an IRL predator producer that put women through hell behind the scenes. I mean, it’s actually in print that several of the things that POS had the character say and do he actually said and did IRL towards women who worked on the show while he was co-showrunner.
Between them queerbaiting the lead ship for five seasons + this bs (which they tried to repeat by introducing a potential love interest in the final two seasons that started off yet again with treating the lead heroine like absolute garbage, stalking her, insulting her, and then them telling fans it was all just his cover and he was really a saint)…
