#jj critical

🔥 J.J.

hi anon friend! but pls NOT A JJ QUESTION 😭

I have so many mutuals who love her so putting anything remotely critical under the cut bc I support JJ lovers <3 

Send Me a 🔥+ a Topic, and I’ll Tell You My Honest Opinion About It

I’ve always been very JJ neutral bc shes kind of boring to me, and the things I liked about her were mostly hcs. but lately ive been barely tolerating her sdjkhdskj. I think whats hard about JJ is that she doesnt have real character development past s3, and it makes her meaner moments more glaring bc she doesnt change as a person.

her professional growth seems unearned bc the audience never sees it. she comes back after a year and is this amazing spy-profiler. in 6.01 shes afraid to talk to an unsub and by 6.02 they want her to profile bin laden!!! and u can tell the writers know when JJ is becoming unlikable bc they just throw a bunch of trauma at her so we’ll feel bad, but its lazy and hollow. 

watching cm and other shows where characters do change for the better makes it hard for me to like her bc I cant look at JJ over 15 seasons and see 15 years worth of growth. tbf to the writers not every single person changes for the better over time, but those people often aren’t the most likable so... 💀

my number one enemy in life is the mf that fucked up the last star wars sequel

its been years and i still haven’t recovered from rise of skywalker that movie was so incredibly disappointing. I honestly really liked (by that i mean love) The Last Jedi and i was hoping the vibes would carry but nOoooO BULLSHIT

Imagine IMAGINE the fucking meaning of the empire being destroyed once and for all by a skywalker (kylo/ben) and a nobody (rey) because they care for eachother because it all started by a skywalker turning to the darkside to save his lover. THERE WERE SO MANY MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

STAR WARS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT HOPE AND NOT GIVING UP AND THEY END IT BY FUCKING KILLING OFF KYLO/BEN ONCE HE AND REY HAD FINALLY REALIZED THEIR FEELINGS WHERES THE HOPE IN THAT??? WHERES THE STORY OF PERSEVERANCE??

I just wanna say thank you to force awakens and the last jedi for opening my eyes to enemies to lovers, havent been the same since (fuck u jj abrams)

i’m making a list of women in fictional media that are hated by a significant portion of their fan bases because they’re complicated, or deeply flawed, or morally grey, or angry when that is inherently connected to the thematic integrity of the story

so far i have:

Diane from Bojack Horseman

Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman

JJ from Criminal Minds

Elle from Criminal Minds

Jordan from Criminal Minds

Ashley from Criminal Minds

Haley from Criminal Minds*

Martha from Dr. Who*

Gwen from Torchwood*

Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time

Lapis from Steven Universe

Jessica from Jessica Jones

Mary from Sherlock*

Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Allison (Cameron) from House*

*shout out if they're also hated because they "got in the way" of a fan-favorite (usually mlm) ship and/or had feelings for the leading man that were not reciprocated

anyways lmk if you have others. idk i wanna collect them all and take care of them or something

[strongermonster]

i'm officially single again but she made me do a fuckin exit interview??? she graded me???? she compared my lack of emotional commitment to things and overall flakiness meant that sometimes having sex was like "fucking in a clown car" (??????????????????)

look, i’m not going to shit on the average person for coming out of Nope confused and a bit lost. it’s got a lot of layers to it! there’s aspects that require a good degree of thought to pick apart and really truly understand, especially if you’re not someone who likes to hyperanalyze your media. like literally all media, it’s not for everyone, and people are allowed to dislike things.

that said, i feel like professional film critics whose job it is to Understand Cinema should be able to do a decent bit of that. but it seems like a bunch are dismissing Nope as meandering and thematically incoherent because they can’t assign a clear-cut objective meaning to the shoe or figure out why the gordy’s home plotline was significant or they’re upset that peele didn’t wrap all his thematic throughlines up in a neat little bow with a moral and a thesis at the end of the movie and it’s like. this is- you get PAID for this???????????

listen i hate rian johnson and the last jedi as much as the next guy but this post Just Ain't It

[bluntblade]

I'm always puzzled by the insistence that Abrams meant for Finn to be Force-sensitive, because if those sound cues are actually the Force (some of the effects on Jakku, also the Hosnian Cataclysm screams) and not just a non-diagetic sound effect (in a franchise which is traditionally extremely literal, otherwise this wouldn't have been fixated on so much), it's deeply weird how little the impact him.

Like, "I heard the death-scream of an entire solar system. Guess it's normal when that happens?" and never thought about it again.

And I can't imagine that being a thing with someone who was already something of a misfit and probably very introspective over that.

Throw that together with the fact that while Rey's awakening is foreshadowed with all the "what girl?!" stuff and they kind-of build to her actually using the Force, I just don't see the same intent with Finn. Indeed, although the plot couldn't happen without him, I feel like the writers are unsure quite what to do with him outside of the plot. And so for me, I just don't feel like him being Force-sensitive was really this thing that was primed only for Johnson to disregard it (not least because of how it's handled in TRoS, but that's a whole other thing).

Comment movies i should watch and i'll write reviews on them .......

[fandomqueenlove]

okay so I know the whole jiara thing. I know it was unintentional in s1, and then in s3, a lot of their writing became very much intentionally setting up jiara to be romantic.

I also want to add that I am both a jjpope and jiara shipper with a leaning or preference to jjpope (and also, thst kie deserves to have a girlfriend), but I've made my peace that jjpope isn't going to happen and that jiara was going to.

that being said, I did not like a lot of the writing for jiara this season. I feel like a lot of their best came from when they were writing jj and kiara as platonic back in s1 in comparison to writing them as romantic in s3.

this is just me however, I mean, I'm sure everyone thinks differently and I'm only on episode 7 so far but I'm just not satisfied at all. and in some ways, I do semi still sish that we had gotten at least one friendship with the boys that didn't go further than just platonic (ofc, kie never liked john b or pope like how she likes jj, but john b kissed her and she and pope dated, and I know she's getting with jj when the season ends).

that being said, as a jjpope and jiara shipper, I will now be delving into the kie and cleo have two hands cause I now also shipped them a little bit after the first two episodes. so who says i can't have jjpope, jiara, and cleo x kie in a happy relationship where they all support and care for each other at the same time??

listen i know gwen is definitely flawed but all the anti gwen fics i’ve read are like

“she rolled her eyes and scoffed then she talked way too loud and told everyone their feelings didn’t matter and then she punched ianto in the face and then accidentally blew up the hub”

like. bro.

[hologramcowboy]

I don’t know if you noticed already but something that has bugging me, and please let me if I’m overthinking it, but when misha was throwing stuffed animals out to the audience at JIB and Jensen was like “oh I was gonna take one of those home to JJ” then misha gave him a diary and said “take this” and then Jensen was all “oh no she doesn’t get to have a diary, don’t want her writing all her thoughts down” I’m very curious to hear your thoughts cause I am honestly not sure how to take that

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I completely missed that part and it sounds like Jensen dreads the day JJ thinking of romance and similar things. Anon, do you have the link to his, by any chance? Anyway, I have no words if that's what he said.

a) i hate that the drivethru menu is so close to the part where u talk so i can't see what i want until i'm at the part where i have to order and under intense social pressure to not hem and haw for 3 minutes while i make decisions waiting for the stupid menu screen to rotate thru the choices

b) i think if your website makes you sign in to start an order (especially if it automatically redirects u to like, skip or ubereats) just to see the fucking menu that i should be allowed to blow up your corporate headquarters

c) i really like the touch screen order kiosks and i think those should be at the drivetghru and i think the money they save from not having a wageslave employee take orders should go towards universal basic income

d) abolish seasonal only items d.1) as in make them available all year round, not remove them entirely
