motylikSo I'm going to rant here, because even *I* am getting sick of ranting to my poor unsuspecting friends about this.
I'm not much of a Logan fan, although I love Logan and Veronica like the next fan, but the whole Logan is a sweetheart and Veronica is the devil is starting to really really piss me off. Especially since it's starting to influence how the people view the actors. KB is not Veronica. I know after three fandoms, that the girl on the show (especially the main heroine) can never get a break, and whatever she does is aweful, and whatever the guy does wrong gets explained away, but this is starting to be ridiculous. Logan makes mistakes. Huge ones. Mistakes that hurt people he cares about very deeply. There's no way of arguing that away by saying he had an aweful childhood. That might be a reason, but after him doing the same mistake for the hundreth time I don't feel like it's an excuse. Especially if all Veronica's been through is being shrugged off, like she should be over it by now. And I can't help but feel, that not only the fandom, but Logan himself is all, "Well I'm not perfect and never will be" and that should be excuse enough. I never have the feeling that he is sorry for what he *did* but for Veronica finding out. Like if she didn't know the wrogness of his actions wouldn't exist. That's not good. I know that Veronica ignors her own faults, and that is bad, and that Logan doesn't, but I'm disappointed that that's where it stops. Logan knows his faults and does nothing to move forward or do something about it. And his faults aren't minor things, but stuff that keeps hurting him and the people around him. It's as if he's convinced that what he does isn't that bad, but it's the environment around him that makes his actions seem bad and he is mad at that.
I can't get behind a character that sees his warts and shrugs them off. I'd rather have a character who doesn't see them, but when you point them out, tries to do something with it. That's what I think Veronica does in a lot of the situations.
And I know that Logan loves Veronica despite her flaws and Veronica keeps pointing his out, but I can't help but feel like Logan loves Veronica *because* of her flaws. I'm not going to go into why, because that would an essay I don't have the time for, but I don't really think Logan wants Veronica to change for the better. He needs to be the better one in the relationship, and that's not good. God I want Veronica to be single. I want them to both do therapy and get over at least half their issues and then meet in ten/five years and get together for real. In a mature relationship and not what they had up until now.
The last ep was awesome, it was funny, good written and heartbreaking at once, the acting was spot on by everyone. I was thrilled. And when I went on the forums, I was sad to see, that people were calling the ep bad, just because it made Logan look bad, just because LoVe broke up and Veronica was somewhat justified in doing that. I was appalled that some people tried to explain what Logan did away and act like Veronica was a bitch for being hurt by what he did. Some people even compared her to Madison. And that just boggles my mind. I can't understand the need to attack another person so viciously just so you make your own favourite character seem nicer. I don't want to say that all Logan fans to it like that. I don't want to offend anyone, by generally saying that all Logan is good arguments are like that. But some of the things people said just made me do a double take. And I needed to get it out somewhere, without getting into a long winded argument on the forums. For my own peace of mind.
