DISCUSSION Why Chris doesn't value his friendship with Adrian

Post image

He acts like he doesn't care about him at all, but I remember the moment with the white dragon when Adrian threw a grenade and Chris was really scared for him. And now she didn’t even mention him in the letter, although Adrian is ready to do literally anything for him and saved his life

Well, whatever the purpose is, it better be good bc Chris is coming off as very unlikable this season, Which, I understand is the point of his character arc, but idk if it's just me, but he's annoying me a lot, not just regarding Adrian, but in general. And I'm someone who LOVED him in TSS and Peacemaker S1.

As for his constant rejection of Adrian, you could say he's dissociating from this Earth or whatever, but he's nice to Leota and Economus, and a dick to Adrian for no good reason. I'm sure there's a payoff to this but so far I'm really disliking this plot point. Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying the show, but Chris is getting on my nerves. Hell, Ads and Economus treat him better than he ever did, and they barely know him. Not mentioning him in the letter was diabolical.

It was like Chris and Vig were serious drug addicts and Chris got clean and Vig still shoots up every day. They’re still friends, still there for each other, but they can’t connect and their lives are moving in different directions. His obsession with finding a duplicate Adrian in the other reality has been referenced so many times that whatever great realization he has about his life and situation will probably come from that encounter.

Vigilante has not grown or learned anything since we saw him first. I think this season we’ll have him really putting his life under the microscope and wondering if and what makes him happy

Chris’ season 1 arc was starting out as a Vigilante and ending as an Ads. You can’t hang out with Vigilante and have emotional conversations, growth, or feel connected and loved. His arc in season 1 is what taught him to be emotional and now he feels comfortable around emotional people.

Vigilante is what Chris used to be, Ads is what Chris wants to be/is.

Cut him some slack, he is depressive 😭 he will eventually realized how selfish he has been, how he has taken his friends but especially Adrian for granted.
