ok so I’m gonna get very rude to martin in this one so jf yr a martin liker and don’t like heavy criticism, unhh dont read
Ok so ive never been a fan of martin, but I think I don’t like s5 Martin the most. Now I’m sure you could come up with plenty excuses, some more valid than others, but he honestly kind of sucked, like, personality wise.
Martin started most fights, and almost never tried to apologize for them, whereas Jon is genuinely, constantly apologetic. Martin pushed Jon to use his powers a lot during the beginning of the apocalypse. Martin blamed Jon—subtly or unsubtly—when his statements were unhelpful to their cause later on.
And maybe you’ll say, well, Jon was so rude to martin before… well then Martin didn’t need to date him, like I’d be way less peeved if they were just two unfortunate people surviving together, but they aren’t, Martin chooses to be like this despite likely knowing Jon the best
I’d argue if martin had been more genuinely supportive and not just surface level empathetic, Jon would’ve considered mag 200 more. And I’m likely wrong and bias, but still.
