buffy with a sword oh Man

this might be a hot take but im thinking about you's ending and honestly my biggest issue with it is not joe's fate necessarily but the lack of joe's perspective in the end. the beauty and the horror of the show is that it was alarmingly in his perspective and voice and throughout the show they did play with other povs of course, but i think they didn't essentially have to make bronte a co main character in season 5 like why is the story suddenly about her and her journey and i never thought id say that about a female character but imagine if like if breaking bad s5 was mostly about lydia or some shit idk i think it's a good message at the end of you where it's like anyone can be a victim but i really wish it was more personal, that we were in joe's head more and they could drag out his trial and ending more because i do actually think his final inner monologue in jail to radiohead's creep is so excellent a final scene it made me wonder if they came up with it and then wrote an ending around it and again i do think that generally taking back the narrative is a nice concept but it's complicated because if they wanted this theme to survive they would have to sacrifice a possibly very interesting and complex pov from joe leading up to his fate and i understand that he'll never change and he sort of went through this with "rhys" last season but joe was such a good antihero protagonist practically iconic i just think it's very telling that this show went with a very lifetime ending being like a psa or whatever where they have to scream the moral at you because the audience kept romanticizing joe goldberg so much but it's like how dead is media literacy where instead of continuing this very interesting narrative through this character's warped lens we have to create a very swift and very loud ending like we can still get the same message across without UGH WHATEVER im wrong and stupid but you do get what im saying right like the reason why i dislike bronte is not because of anything she does or says necessarily but how the show has used and depended on her to reframe the show like I KNOW SHES MEANT TO BE THE AUDIENCE OF THE SHOW but they didn't do it in a way that felt very meaningful or not empty so to speak like historically with this show the use of his narration has actually made US the loves of his lives because we saw all the terrible shit he did and we kept watching anyways and his narcissistic ass never wants to leave us because we are essentially perfect so it was just disappointing how the show felt so insecure they couldn't even risk exploring joe further at all and maybe there's nothing there. but i dont care ugh i dont know
