It is genuinely baffling to me how much screen time and focus Jax gets compared to other characters. It’s ridiculous. There’s no reason we should know SO much about Jax- his backstory, his emotions, his relationships- and basically NOTHING for other characters. There’s no reason one character’s backstory and inner workings should get 30 minutes of screen time in an hour long (?) finale when none of the other characters get anything like that. Do we know the details of Ragatha’s backstory and her relationship with her abusive mother? Nope! Do we know the details of how all the characters ended up at C&A and put on the headsets? Nope! Does the show go into detail about Pomni’s (the actual og main character) backstory? Nope! Just so much screentime spent on Jax because that’s all the show has turned into focusing on!

And yes, I think it’s very misogynistic writing. I think it’s very telling when you make a character who is canonically misogynistic, he targets the women/non-men characters, the author says that she deeply relates to him, and then that character gets SO much more focus than any of the women characters (including the one who is supposed to be your main character). Lmfao.

You have the time to put a montage of Jax to “Isn’t She Lovely” (genuinely wtf?) but no time to address important questions about the show still unanswered.
