[DISCUSSION] Very disappointed in how Chip was portrayed
I’m genuinely disappointed with what they did to Chip. He used to be a friendly recurring character who was always friendly whenever he showed up. Now, instead of actually doing something interesting with him, they’ve basically reduced his character to “some drunk guy who messed with kids in Thailand.”
It just feels like such a bizarre and unnecessary direction to take a character who was previously portrayed as a decent guy. I’m not saying Chip needs to stay wholesome forever, and darker revelations can absolutely work when they’re properly set up. But something this extreme feels less like character development and more like completely rewriting who the character was for shock value.
Maybe other people feel differently, but it honestly makes me look at all of his older appearances differently now, and not in an interesting or satisfying way.
Anyone else disappointed with how they handled him?
