Re: Should I watch/read this?

So yeah, my two cents vs the anons.

I love the 100. I switched my default icon from The Avengers to The 100. I'm attempting to get a The 100 land comm off the ground.

If you liked the newer Battlestar Galactica, you will like The 100. There's a strong focus on the survival aspects as well as government and politics and what it means to be a leader. Season 2 switches stuff up a bit, introduces new characters, societies, aspects, but season 1 is mostly survival and political focused.

There's also a Game of Thrones sort of feeling to it, in the sense of a strong over-arching narrative, no one is safe, and there ends up being a bunch of grey and grey-black morality with every single side having their reasons and justifications for their actions. I'd say overall it's more BSG than GoT though.

It's the CW, so expect a lot of teens. There are some pretty cool adult characters though. And the nature of the Ark (the giant spaceship all the main characters were living on before the start of the show) makes it so that most of the teen characters have some kind of specialization. You've got mechanics, chemists, pseudo-pre med... like all of them pool their skills to try and survive.

WARNING: there is a "Love Triangle" but it was handled in one of the best ways I've seen TV love triangles.

What else. Oh yeah, the one anon saying that Clarke is a Mary Sue. Clarke is the main character (and girl in my icons), she is capable and head strong. She becomes the leader of the 100. She also has faults. As she begins to gain experience, she puts her own opinions and thoughts over those of others. She believes she knows what's best and has to do what she must for the Greater Good. This sometimes leads to Bad Things. Which, I think, is frankly amazing in a main character.

Clarke is the mighty whitey girl who is a mother to every teen despite being only 17 and inspirational and experienced leader to the adults, despite being 17 and having spent most of her life drawing pictures on the walls. She also causes the leader of the savage grounders to fall in love with her, just through existing near her.

Re: Should I watch/read this?

When has she been an inspirational and experienced leader to the adults? Jaha doesn't give a fuck about her, her mom is constantly questioning her, and Kane only goes along with it because he knows Lexa likes Clarke better than the adults.

As for the mighty whitey part, taking out the racial bit, you might as well say that ATLA is terrible because Katara is mother-like to the team and grew up without an official waterbending instructor. In fact all the kid/teen characters in ATLA are just as, if not more powerful, than the adults.

Or Harry Potter is terrible, because they're also all under 17 for the most part and constantly do things that adults don't.

Or the Hunger Games is terrible because Katniss.

You are blaming The 100 for basic conventions of genre.
