#but fw!fitz obviously doesn't have much of rw!fitz in him

I know how everyone's talking about how fitz goes from protecting Daisy to torturing her, but I noticed that those two scenes also have him going from having him look up at her to looking down at her, which would also show his change of respect (looking up to her) to basically seeing her as filth (looking down at her). and now "even filth has a purpose" is ringing in my ears since all the creepy people say it now.

you mean like within the framework? bc i don’t think framework fitz ever had any inclination to protect daisy, nor did he respect her at any point in time. from what we’ve seen, i think that, to framework fitz, daisy (or skye) was always just a means to an end and a valuable asset bc of her computer skills. he had no attachment to her and had she become invaluable, she would’ve been out of hydra in a second, like any other agent.

the way he talked to her in 4x16 might not have been as spine-chilling as the 4x17 end scene, but it was all condescending and had an evidently threatening undertone, so it was no surprise to me that he flipped in the torture direction the second he caught word she was a traitor.

now, if you’re talking about real world fitz vs framework fitz, i completely agree. the fact that he was the first to ever accept daisy when she went through terrigenesis, and barely even hesitated to protect her back then it makes this all the more heartbreaking, and will make it even more traumatic for both of them. bc let’s not forget that despite all the traumatic ramifications this will have for fitz once he knows who he is, daisy is the one that is probably going to get tortured by someone who looks and sounds just like her best friends. (this last bit isn’t directed at you, anon, just at some people i’ve seen making this whole “fitz is going to be torturing daisy” debacle all about fitz.)

and yes i agree that whole “even filth has a purpose” thing is creepy af and it hits an open wound on me. as a minority living in the US who moved here from what most consider a different country, i’ve met people that think like this about me so it’s definitely a very topical line considering what the US is going through right now. and it certainly serves to reflect aida’s ideas and the world our heroes have landed in.
