@bold that is what I mean. The way you talked about it you clubbed wanting Ak to be an independent woman to get back together with Abhi to thinking Arohi will go negative and other stuff as if it is one narrative. But in reality, different people have different stances even within the fandom, forget about people who are neutral.
And of course these theories exist because of the expectations from ITV. The ML winning ( ML and FL being reunited) is also an ITV trope. I don't know much about the pak drama ppl are talking about. But people have different ways to defend their fav character.
To be fair, this is the first forum I have been on. Are people not this defensive of ML in general ? I think the ITV expectation is that the ML will be butchered esp when the FL is pregnant so they have the separation then and they get back together in part because of the kid.
I really hope that Abhi gets a good redemption arc. I also feel like it's about how Abhira vs Navra were introduced. Abhira was a big love story and Navra we didn't even see a wedding for. If the story direction is Navra, then the writers have seriously messed up. A slow burning friendship to lovers story would have been amazing. I am all in for that. But in my mind at least it would be way more romantic and special and they would have spent a little more time on it before pushing stupid Abhir illness and custody battle down our throats. At the end of the day, the writers want Abhira. If we want to keep watching and enjoying the show, we have to be ok with that.
I wrote it this way bcos @kachhakela21 wrote about single mother stance and I made a gist of all other stances people had written about. I didn't write same set of people thot all these stuff. If you've more suitable word then 'they' kindly suggest.
It might be an obvious thing for people defending the ml with such petty excuses but clearly it's not obvious to me. I don't switch off my reasoning ability while watching a show.
This is my first forum as well. No idea what n no. of excuses are given on other forums in name of defense. Again Abhira is better than Akshnav, in whatever manner, is your opinion. There are quite many on forum who think otherwise.
Just as ml divorcing & abandoning their pregnant wives is an ITV trope... similarly fl not moving on with new ml without drama & poking from prev ml is also an ITV trope. If makers had shown a fully moved on Ak or Ak hugging Nav since the start would that have sat well with the audience? Ak is mocked & namecalled across SM for even holding hands. Plus makers decided to change the track & had to create a base for this pair, so they took it slow.
What do writers ultimately want? I'm not going to make any assumption about something I've no knowledge of.
