(Anonymous) 2013-08-19 01:16 am (UTC)(link)Honestly, though, poor Derek, every terrible damn thing that happened in Beacon Hills is directly tied to his actions. Mostly because he fails at everything he even attempts. Like, I'm pretty sure the only reason he hasn't died from accidentally slitting his own throat shaving is because his werewolf healing keeps him from dying when he does it.

lmao
oh god
That's more accurate than I'd like to admit.

It is, though. It really is. Everything bad happens because of Derek's existence. The poor guy can't take a shit without someone betraying him or causing some accidental death. It's just the way things are. I'm hoping things change for him soon because I like him and he has good intentions, and it's just so depressing to see him try to pull himself up and get kicked while he's down again and again. Like, just let him have something. Just once. Let him turn his life around! Otherwise...what's the point of keeping him around? (And I say this as someone who would never want to see him leave the show, but god, why would the actor want to stick around for several more seasons of this?)

(Anonymous) 2013-08-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)And the worst part is that Hoechlin seems like a decent actor, really. If they'd give him actual shit to work with, I think he could work with it. But as it is...IDK, I wouldn't be heartbroken if he went to find a job that didn't make him the epicenter of the shitstorm of sadness and woe.

I honestly don't think the writers see this. Or maybe they do and just don't care. I'm not sure which is worse tbh, but what they did with Cora was just...arg. On top of everything else this season, that pissed me off so much. WHY YOU DO THIS JEFF
Let Derek have something other than pain. It gets old, and it becomes a thing, and it isn't clever or fun, it just comes off as kind of embarrassing and poor writing. Find something else to do with him! (And seriously, find other ways to bring new antagonists in. It seems they did that last episode so I hope they stick to it.)
I've never seen Hoechlin in anything else, but I don't have an issue with his acting. They just need to do something else with his character now so the poor guy can have some fun/something interesting to do.
I wouldn't be heartbroken if he went to find a job that didn't make him the epicenter of the shitstorm of sadness and woe.
I wouldn't blame the guy, not in the least, but I would be heartbroken. Because he's so very, very pretty, and Derek deserves something good in his life, and I'd love to see him interact with the rest of the cast in meaningful ways while he is NOT getting shit on. COME ON TEEN WOLF, YOU CAN DO IT.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-19 05:36 am (UTC)(link)And I am willing to give a show about teenage werewolves A LOT of leeway with the believability.
spoilers for all of teen wolf, including season 3
Oh, and... I thought it was pretty damn cool when he protected Stiles from Isaac, but then again that didn't require much effort on his part. (Still, it looked neat!)
Derek just can't win at fights though, unless it's against Scott or his betas. The railroad scene with him fighting Isaac and Erica made the two of them look incompetent, so while Derek came out on top...it wasn't exactly impressive.
And he holds his own against Scott? But he's been a werewolf his whole life and Scott clearly hasn't, so that isn't exactly something to brag about either.
Fucking hell show, I want to make Derek look badass, WHY WON'T YOU LET ME?!
...
Uhhhhhhh, okay, he was kinda badass when he just stood there and let Boyd and Cora claw him this season (wasn't it Boyd and Cora?)? Granted, he didn't really do anything, but I find that kind of selfless sacrifice all kinds of attractive.
(But it isn't just him. Scott and the rest of the gang are pretty incapable of taking out any of the major baddies, too.)
