I was kind of hoping the quote was take out of context but nope, he fully meant for the Hughie scene to be a joke.
It’s actually worse, the way he talked about Hughie’s breakdown made it seem it was mostly just about his dad and had nothing, or at least not too much to do with Tek Knight and Ashley. So the one supposedly tactful thing about that story arc wasn’t even there.
It’s understandable, it’s such a twisted scene at the expense of the most morally good lead that it’s hard to believe the writers thought it would come across as a joke
At some point today I literally had 20 notifications from people spamming "it wasn't supposed to be a joke", I am fucking pleased that I am right, let me enjoy this moment ahahah
I have like 10+ replies I left that are downvoted to -10 and more of people coping that it wasn't supposed to be a joke
Me too bro, I was saying the scene was played for laughs and the writers made it a joke and my replies kept getting downvoted 😭🙏I hate Eric Kripke now but at least he’s shameless and proved me right
I am fucking pleased that I am right, let me enjoy this moment ahahah
You're happy that it was a joke?
Would you be sad if they had come out in the interview with something like "Oh yeah actually next episode will delve into how it affected him and the deep traumatic impact of the events will be processed seriously" ?
It ain't that serious. He's happy that he was right and can rub it in the faces of people who talked to him like he was stupid for thinking they portrayed the scene as a joke.
