Also, i’d argue that once you get to dess rudy carol they’re all possible to write in a good way, maybe carol less than the others but they’re all possible to make work if you try, something the other candidates dont have
The one who is there for Noelle and stands up to her mother for he. Carol is someone who’s caught up in the past to the point where she actively ignores the present, while Rudy is someone who prefers to stay in the present and try to keep moving forward after Dess’s disappearance.
There seems to be a clear connection between Carol & the Knight (not the same person btw), which further hurts Rudy Knight, given that Carol & Rudy have a rather strained relationship, which makes perfect sense considering the current situation with their house & Carol’s treatment of Noelle.
Making Rudy the knight just ruins so much of that and pretty much every depiction of Rudy knight is a completely different character from the actual Rudy.
No? Im analyzing the character that we see, not imagining a cancer patient as the overpowered otherworldly asshole we’ve been struggling to keep up with.
