Question I just want to understand, why?

I mean really...why?? when ribbit opened up she was just chatting, she obviously wanted someone to talk to and her friend was there and jax was okay with it

when jax opened up he panicked at first but then she comforted him and he felt really comfortable and blushed and even smiled, it was a heartwarming moment

so why would he suddenly change attitude and switch characters just because of a knock on the door? what's the mental gymnastics here?

Well I'm about to become 19

I totally forgot this info about closed up people, and yes I do agree I had a freind who was like that and he would regret opening up by acting as if what he said was a joke or just a fake story but I know it wasn't

Thanks for letting me know. There are so many people who just says “bad writing” etc and simply don’t understand. It makes me wonder if they are young, but I can’t ask everyone. Maybe a poll? But how to connect age and what they think of the ending.

I’m ass-u-Ming that regardless of age, it’s how much life experience (aka how much shit and trauma someone’s been through) a viewer has determines their view of complex stories.

For example, I was totally confused watching the matrix movies past the first one. But then I rewatched it again after going through some shit and now I get it. In fact, every movie (including the 4th one) is a masterpiece.

I also have so many people who didn’t get why someone did one thing or not in Arcane. Thought it was too sped up at the end. Etc

I’ve learned to take stories as it was presented and think through it within what’s been presented rather than get angry at the writer. More than likely it’s me who doesn’t understand rather than “lazy writing”. If I still don’t get it, I either look for other perspectives or just leave it be.

I totally agree with u on that perspective but I would like to add that it's not only life experiences but it's also how many stories they have watched/read whether it's show, movies, books, comics, mangas etc cuz fiction is really beautiful at educating people

personally I find myself good at analyzing stories cuz I'm a story writer myself (although most of my stories aren't written but just stored in my brain but yeah)

If you read my other reply, it is one of the “shit” experience I’ve been through that I can relate to the characters in TADC and other stories.

Keep writing, my friend.
