#ignore me im just being a hater but a casa MC story could have been /so/ interesting and they fumbled it imo

pls tell me i'm not the only one annoyed at the newest season of love island the game??? I don't know how much longer I can stand MC being God's Gift to Humanity. Why isn't she allowed to have any other traits than being utterly perfect??? Why is every single character obsessed with her and so far up her ass they're crawling out of her mouth??? This is like the polar opposite of S5 where MC was treated like she personally started every single plague since the dawn of time, but they both bring about the same level of gritting-my-teeth-rolling-my-eyes frustration

and with both I had to play them parallel to S2 and/or S4 just so I could bask in MC being treated like a normal human being and not like she's going to personally cause the extinction of the human race or solve world hunger with a snap of her fingers

Using S4 Tom and S7 Alex for this because those were the LIs my MCs were paired with at the time of each incident

Tom did a whole lot better in the "misunderstanding gets blown out of proportion causing me to think you're flirting with someone else so I spend a day acting like an immature idiot and ignoring you instead of clearing it up" than Alex because it made sense coming from Tom. By this point they'd gone deep into Tom's substantial trauma showing why he's new to relationships and insecure in general. Tom's reaction has nothing really to do with MC and was absolutely a manifestation of his own issues.

Alex on the other hand is supposed to be the mature, chill, self-assured, "dad friend" and we're never really given anything to believe otherwise + Estelle has been brewing trouble between him & MC from the beginning, so for him to suddenly jump in and believe her and then ignore MC just ends up coming out of nowhere? And why does alex do this?? Because S7 makes MC so fucking perfect that literally everyone puts her on a pedestal so no one thinks they're worthy enough to date her. For no discernable reason Alex suddenly sees MC as "out of his league", in his words "she's a 10 and he's a 9" and I don't care if that last one was supposed to be a joke I'm going to rip someone's face off with my teeth where's the character study? The character motivation? At least the character consistency? Instead of it just being drama for drama's sake

I hate it here

"My significant trauma means I don't know how to react in an adult relationship without letting my years of built up insecurities sabotage it" <- let's go get you some therapy

"You're a 10/10 baddie who could date anyone here and I'm only a lowly 9 haha" <- GIRL??????? what am I supposed to do with this??? it just sounds like the world's shittiest excuse
