it’s a horror tragedy. people are mean and uncharitable and impatient with him and don’t give him the benefit of the doubt because he is the protagonist of a horror tragedy. u are supposed to think it is tragic. dare i say u are supposed to be horrified.
everyone in s4 keeps saying to martin “you’re compromised because you’re working with peter, you’re either all buddy-buddy and on his side or you’re vulnerable and he’s manipulating you” meanwhile his every scene with peter is him expressing completely unconcealed contempt and rage for the man, just openly trashing his every move and suggestion.
martin: unironically, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you die
peter: you’re so lonely when you threaten to kill the only person you’ve spoken to in months 😀
relistening to tma and losing my mind more with each episode. anyways. today we’re talking about how there are three characters in the show who are meant to be/groomed to be “the chosen one” for some specific purpose (agnes for the lightless flame, gerry to carry on some esoteric bloodline, jon for the watcher’s crown/the web’s escape plan) and all three of them have that running theme of being completely powerless in every aspect of their lives despite being made to be something powerful. we never get agnes’ own perspective on her own life, gerry dies and is kept in limbo for *years*, and jon is marked to be the antichrist from age 8, like all of them were used as tools rather than people and if you couple that with all three at some point expressing that their fantasy is to live a normal life and be a normal person but they were trapped by divinity……fucked up if true
