The divorce

I've seen a lot of people upset with how the divorce between Viktor and Jayce was handled in S2, feeling that the scene felt fast and emotionless, but I think this is intentional. You aren't supposed to feel a sense of closure, you are supposed to feel as confused as Jayce does. Viktor is portrayed as dull, almost emotionless, a drastic change from the previous season, where he is one of the most expressive and emotional characters. I believe this is the show's way of showing Viktor came back wrong. Viktor tells Jayce that he doesn't feel the cold, implying that his ability to feel has changed. He leaves Jayce easily despite the show having shown that Jayce is one of the only people he truly cares about. It feels wrong. Viktor doesn't even show anger at Jayce for disregarding his wishes, S1 Viktor would have been furious. S1 Viktor would have been an absolute wreck, crying, maybe even screaming, but this Viktor isn't. He's emotionless, robotic. And I find that very tragic. In saving Viktor, Jayce has lost him. Jayce has unintentionally rendered Viktor incapable of feeling the affection that held them together.

I.. am so sorry but an offscreen Sambucky divorce? HELL NAH these two better make up quick cause I am not dealing with Marvel trying to force a divorce arc, I hope they communicate (despite how unlikely that is) because I can't really at either are really in the wrong? Like Sam hearing that there's a new Avengers(z) team is probably feeling very off put because he doesn't really want to remember the death/disbanding of the old team, PLUS he is now Captain America and is probably expected to join the Avengers(z) , and Bucky didn't even agree to being the new Avengers(z)! Though idk if the pathetic wet cat of a man he is has communicated that to Sam, please just let these men stay married and COMMUNICATE, it'd be so stupid if after all they went through they divorced over a goddamn name (though like I said Sam does have his reasons and he isn't really in the wrong) anyways thank you for listening to my rambling :3
