„Shauna’s character was butchered (haha) this season.“ „She’s cartoonishly evil.“ „Her actions make no sense.“ „No depth“
LOUD AND WRONG PEOPLE !!!
This is all I’ve been seeing on TikTok about season 3 and let’s be honest, TikTok yj fans are the worst but this is plain wrong.
Now, not saying you have to „defend“ Shauna in this season (no one asked u to, babe) but there was still depth to her character in season 3.
I was thrilled to see Shaunas character arc taking a different direction. Season 2 was all tragic and more or less reasonable but this is over now. Shauna is hurt, traumatized and all this hurt turned to anger. She shut herself of from the group but then she still wants power over them, some kind of thing she can be in control of. Because that’s a whole thing for her especially in the adult-timeline. When she gets that little bit of power with Melissa she thrives on it and gets greedy.
When for some reason the other girls don’t really try to stand up to her she lets the power get to her. That’s a classic trope. Starting with something small and getting away with it, to being in charge of the whole group. Not random pretty reasonable timeline.
Grief -> Anger -> Control and Power as an outlet for Anger -> Euphoria ->(Hybris)
That’s where we get the (for me world changing) line about Shauna having fun in the wilderness.
I definitely don’t think this is unreasonable and I strongly dislike people claiming this was bad writing.
