[The Vampire Diaries]

Damon is one of my favorites on the show because he has a lot of character depth, not because he's a good person. He has a ton of issues and is an asshole to pretty much everyone, but he's interesting. So is Klaus. I wouldn't want to be friends with either of them, but they're fun to watch.

Ugh, people who whitewash awesome fascinating likable asshole characters are the worst.

Apart from how annoying it is and how much it tends to ruin everything that was good about the character in the first place, it pisses me off because I always wind up arguing with people that "no, no, character X is actually a giant fucking asshole and not at all a nice innocent guy like you're saying. How the hell is he a nice guy? Look at all the horrible shit he did" instead of discussing how cool/fascinating/likable character X is while taking his assholery as a given. And doing that is unpleasant when I actually like character X and don't really enjoy dumping on him due to his blatantly obvious assholery when I'd rather be discussing his gazillion other traits.

Damon isn't a nice guy and he isn't out to change out of a desire or need for redemption. He's just doing it because of Elena, because she doesn't like the darker stuff. It's something that I do keep in mind about him. One of the things about the show is that it just moves too fast for them to be concerned about how Damon has the dark history. The story needs him on speaking terms with Elena and the others, so they barrel right past it. And, since the show does, the fangirls feel he's forgiven.

Just a side question since I stopped watching the show a long time ago and am surprised by these little tidbits. Wasn't Klaus supposed to be the "Oldest Vampire in history" or something? Now I hear he has/had a sister as old as he, a father who was older and that he is mingling with the rest of the gang? What happened to all that hype?

[identity profile] i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The whole family became vampires at the same time so they are all "Originals." Four brothers, one sister, and their father. And their mother was a witch who cast the spell that made them that way (and the first white witch we've seen in show).

[identity profile] oohasparklie.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's one of the few things this show does poorly, imo. They build up these characters to be thing biggest, scariest thing ever, and then they're introduced, and they're always some young, gorgeous 20-something, and it takes the scare right out of it. Klaus should have been an old dude with a sunken-in face who was super creepy looking. Like the guy who plays "Death" on Supernatural or something. I mean, look at Katherine. Everyone was terrified of her in the first season, and she shows up and she's actually kind of pathetic, and not scary AT ALL.

It bugs me too, anon. Like, I still like Stefan but I fully admit to what a dick he's been this season and that there's no excuse for his behavior. I don't like Damon but I can have conversations with Damon fans as long as they acknowledge how horrible he is. Same for Klaus fans. Like, just admit they're all horrible and we can talk. But when some fans insist that any of them are 'just misunderstood' or 'wouldn't act that way if those evol girls didn't reject them', it makes me unable to discuss anything at all because I don't want to hear their bullshit excuses for why their favorite character 'really isn't all that bad'. Yes, actually, they are that bad.

I'm not in the fandom, but I've seen the same thing in so many others. I've never understood the attraction of stripping away everything that makes a character THEM.

[identity profile] oohasparklie.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand fandom's need to be so politically correct that they can't like complex, dark characters.

Damon is awesome because he's such a dick. In real life would I feel the same? Absolutely not. But when did it become taboo to like the bad guy in fiction? It's so annoying and stupid.
