We had 10 seasons straight of Church as the main character but apparently no writer except for Miles could stomach the idea of having a black lead. It's so odd because Tucker is the natural conclusion to go with. He's the one who figured out the conspiracy first, outsmarted Wyoming, ran C.T around circles, and managed to create the puncture wounds that eventually lead to The Meta's death, and in the season 10 finale it was Tucker who took the first step to go help Carolina with everyone else following suit.
The show had always built up the idea that Tucker was smarter and more capable than he let on and Chorus just expanded on it naturally. Season 15 even acknowledges how far he's grown with his fighting skills AND has him be the one to mirror temple when the BnRs meet the RnBs. He's the leader of the group.
the biggest problem with rvb is that once it considers a characters arc "done" it doesn't.....know what to do with them. Epsilon and Carolina's plot in the chorus trilogy was so far removed from everyeone else because? watching her fight sharkface is so much more important for her growth than interacting with the reds and blues i suppose. Epsilon is a whole mess i don't wanna get into. Trying to avoid rambling but my point is no one knows how to handle Tucker after his growth because??? keeping him as the lead is just too fucking difficult i guess!!
I’m so sick about Tucker. He should have been the main fucking character dammit!!!!!!!!
#I very much love red team and red team development btw but swapping out tucker for grif as the main character? what the fuck#we had a whole arc abt tucker understanding the gravity of war and the death of soldiers#and then in s16 its like wahh i got rejected im gonna become king and send an entire army to their death because I can!!!#like you cannot somehow fathom that Tucker is a changed person now and naturally takes the responsibility of others because??? he's learned#and its such a SHAME because we could've developed him so much more#like how abhorrent his trust issues must be after chorus
