i guess i shouldn't be surprised about this but re: the introduction of claire as a character in the bear--y'all really love hating women and completely disregarding larger narrative arcs don't you
#by y'all i mostly mean like
#ppl in youtube comments complaining about claire being a boring manic pixie dream girl and not having chemistry with carm or whatever
#but i've also seen some opinions on here that have me hmmm
#carmy should not be in any kind of romantic relationship right now and for the foreseeable future and he gets into one anyway
#and that's the point
#he is a deeply traumatized deeply maladjusted man who is barely just scratching the surface of his healing process
#and everything about claire and his relationship with her is meant to be directly symbolic of his regression back into harmful behaviors
#that put him deep in his trauma
#he's backpedaling and that's the point
#it's supposed to make you angry and frustrated as the viewer. because you want him to continue to heal and focus on his growth
#but he backtracks because it's easy
#it's safe
#he literally starts their connection by trying to self sabotage and giving her a fake phone number
#he knows he shouldn't do this! he knows he can't!
#but it happens anyway so he tries anyway because he thinks he should
#not because he actually wants to
#but hating on claire as a character is misdirected and often misogynistic
#she didn't do anything wrong
#and i don't think she's an uninteresting person
#i honestly think she's quite lovely and i know she doesn't deserve to be with carmy's ghost
#like yes we're supposed to be frustrated that they're together because they definitely shouldn't be but it's not because claire sucks
#it's because carmy isn't in a good place for a relationship and because they're not right for each other
#at least not now
#and like completely separate from carmy/sydney--which i love
#the narrative is clearly spelling out that the harmony isn't there
#story and character wise carmy and claire aren't good for each other
#and claire is still a well written and interesting character
#and both of those things can be true at the same time
