HIMYM Showrunner Says People Who Wanted Jamie Lannister Redemption are Why We Have Trump

[zodgory]

In a now deleted series of tweets, Carter Bays, former showrunner of How I Met Your Mother, had some words for people disappointed in Jamie Lannister's apparent aborted redemption arc on the latest episode of Game of Thrones. He says that people who wanted Jamie Lannister to develop/change or be redeemed are why we have Donald Trump as our current

lmfao that's a bit much but i am tired of fanbases frothing at the mouth for redemption arcs for shitty white men, especially rapists like jaime

[bodyline]

like the star wars fans who want kylo ren to get a redemption arc in ep ix even though he had redemption literally offered to him on a silver platter in both previous episodes and intentionally chose to continue to be The Worst.

[ferelden]

Kylo especially. They literally were handed to him on a silver platter but Mr. Edgelord just turned his bad. I don’t trust people who want him to be redeemed.

[girl_overboard]

Having faith in shitty people is so dumb. I have never in my life seen bad turn into good.

There is a big difference between expecting better from someone who is actively trying to be a better person and has been choosing to do the right thing lately and from someone like Trump who consistently refuses to ever do the right thing or be a better person. Like, this is a pretty ignorant set of tweets.

[elderpricely]

Right, I don't even understand what he's trying to say.

I can agree with him that we should celebrate people who've been doing the right thing all along over those who turn a corner ... but Trump is neither, so how is that relevant?

[emptyobsidian]

Yeah when did Trump ever pretend to be good or "come to the good side"? Not saying that Jamie deserves a redemption arc, but really confused as to what he means. Trump has always been VERY open about who he is and it has never been pretending to be good, not even the least bit.

[iznanassi]

people constantly go for that "Trump finally became a president" whenever he makes a speech without denigrating people or inspiring hate so

if you can't write a redemption arc on the level of zuko from avatar or ken from digimon then don't bother t b h

[ladyserenity84]

Zuko is a great example of a redemption arc.

[bananacream]

ken from digimon y a s

i tragically can't edit this comment to add riku from kingdom hearts but know that he was there in my heart

This is the guy who gave America the most hated finale in the history of sitcoms, and he has the nerve to criticize anything?

Maybe he's jealous that GOT will replace HIMYM as the most-hated finale of all time. What an idiot.

Redemption arcs exist for a reason and they have nothing to do with Trump. No one is trying to redeem Trump, he's doubling down ffs

[aristobrit]

Yeah, the "he became Presidential," when he managed to read a telepromter without slurring or stuttering, right. Haven't they given up on that by now? It's more like they make a list of all the words he bumbled now and how many times he repeated himself in three sentences. Just today--these are his exact words:

"We’ll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything it will be a very bad mistake, if they do anything. I’m hearing little stories about Iran. If they do anything, they will suffer greatly. We’ll see what happens..."

He has dementia, and evidently if he goes to war it will be because of gossip he's heard--"little stories." WTF does that even mean? Is Stephen Miller making up shit again? Anything to distract from his fetid corruption.

Was HIMYM the most hated finale? I agree that GoT will be, but I thought prior to that it was Dexter.
