No one can convince me that they didn’t actually shoot way more and better scenes with JJ and Kiara and cut them out on purpose ‘cause they were attempting to detach the audience from both JJ and the ship for the whole season, stupidly thinking it could’ve somehow softened the blow of JJ’s death.
They tried to make him as much of an inconvenience as possible for the group, tried to make Jiara sterile, tried to make him an asshole towards everyone all to at least gain the approval of the average viewer who would think “good he’s gone, he got annoying”.
They didn’t care whatsoever about the character or its story, they did everything with the intention of ruining him to not make him a “fan favorite” anymore and make people feel less sorry about the departure…too bad they miscalculated the dedication of their audience.
The way both Madison and Rudy were talking about their characters and Jiara in the press just makes me believe there was so much more that got intentionally cut out for the reason I just mentioned, we know there are way more scenes ‘cause we have seen behind the scenes photos that never made it into the show and of course they knew the ending but they didn’t know everything that made it into the final cut or not, like when Chase mentioned Luke being in season 3 finale in a S3 interview not knowing it was all cut out.
I just don’t understand how there are some fans who think the general commotion is just about the ship, I don’t understand how you could be a fan of the show and not see a problem with the writing of this season, it goes beyond Jiara or JJ being a fan favorite, it’s the complete destruction of one of the best written characters and storylines, the awful writing of everything and everyone around it for the purpose of making the finale less personal for the audience.
The more I think about it the more insane it gets how they destroyed the show.
The downfall of the show began when they started moving the treasure hunt all over the world for treasures that came out of nowhere and had no real emotional value for the Pogues.
The series is literally called “Outer Banks” and it started with them going on this journey because it was all related to the history of their island and their own families past, families that were all intertwined with one another and stories that perfectly blended into one another, the Royal Merchant that was John B’s father entire life work that led to the Cross being Pope’s family heirloom and who’s ancestors were attached to the Cameron’s land. S2 finale was the last piece of the real Outer Banks with the treasures being connected to one another and to the original quest that started everything, after that it was all random and detached from the Pogues.
El Dorado was incredibly random and felt just thrown out there with a one season villain no one had any correlation with just to make them rich in the end. Even S4 with JJ’s story and the Genrettes connection to the blue crown was so sterile and lacked sentiment since it came out of nowhere, had no correlation to the rest of the story before and it was about a family that although blood JJ nor the audience had any connection with and it still took them far from their homeland with nothing to do with Kildare, something incredibly underwhelming since season 4 was promoted to be a “going back to season one vibes” and promoted to be centered around Blackbeard and therefore a portion of the North Carolina history.
S1 and S2 were the real Outer Banks with the two treasures being connected to each other and with very defined backstories that gradually got unveiled and made us discover a little more about Kildare and the Pogues families, with villains like Ward that had a relationship with the Pogues and motives against them and remained the villain throughout the seasons building a story gradually with depth and giving us purpose to keep following and rooting for the protagonists.
Outer Banks isn’t even about the Outer Banks anymore, it should be renamed “Whatever place in the world holds the next treasure”.
We got initially so attached to it ‘cause it started as a very personal story about the main characters, their roots and their hometown, but it ended up being Indiana Jones adventures around the world just for the sake of actions, the heart of the show got lost into meaningless adventures written with clear confusion and hurry just for the sake of getting renewed by the network.
They didn’t need 4 seasons and they simply should’ve NEVER made season 3 about El Dorado, Ward should’ve died on the Costal Venture and Big John should’ve stayed dead (since all they did in S3 was just be back to do nothing and get killed again) and they should’ve found a way to connect JJ’s roots with Blackbird to the rest of the main story about the Royal Merchant and the Cross ending with them finally getting rich for discovering the history of Kildare and becoming the owners of Goat Island where they built Poguelandia 2.0 (basically S3 finale and the beginning of 4x01 merged together as the series finale).
Three seasons for the three boys born in the Cut discovering the hidden history of their families past on their island would’ve been enough and would’ve made much more sense following a common theme . At a certain point they started doing TOO MUCH when we had actually fell in love with the simplicity and genuine nature of the story.
Outer Banks should’ve never made it out of the Outer Banks and a well written trilogy would’ve been enough.
Obxanon is not reliable, they're just directing hate away from the Pates and onto Rudy+Elaine.
I'm gonna say this one time and then I gotta jump this ship. And before I get called a Rudy stan or wtfever, I'm trying to be as objective as possible. No one here is in the right. I just want people to think about the bigger picture.
Obxanon is not reliable, and the way they present the information is bias.
I'm not saying that there isn't truth to their story. I'm not saying that nothing happened behind the scenes. I don't believe the producers when they say they planned JJ's death from the beginning. I don't believe the fake PR that says there is no beef between Rudy and Madison. We know there is. We can see the tension between them in the show, and we can see it behind the scenes. There's proof that something is wrong. But we don't know WHAT and WHY.
What I am saying is that just because obxanon has some truth and some insight, it does not mean that everything they say is true. And the way they are presenting us this information paints everyone in a positive light except Rudy and Madison. That's bias.
Obxanon excuses the Pate's decision to kill JJ, saying they were "rightfully upset." That was their decision, not Rudy's. That death and the horrible way it was written is on them.
Obxanon also says Elaine was jealous, but doesn't tell us WHY. They say there was conflict between Elaine and the Pates, Elaine and Lilah, Elaine and Madison, but they don't tell us WHY. That leaves it open to speculation, it leaves people to fill in the blanks. Obxanon offers us zero insight into how Elaine felt, why she was upset, why there was conflict. It just paints Elaine as the problem and forces us to guess WHY.
Obxanon says Rudy decided to leave the show and suggests it had something to do with Elaine, but they don't actually tell us WHY. Again, leaves it open to speculation.
Everything obxanon is saying is BIAS. They do nothing to explain Rudy and Elaine's reasons for anything. I'm not saying they're good people and they made healthy choices, but obxanon is trying to imply that they are BAD people and they made HORRIBLE choices. That is bias.
They are HUMANS. They make choices for a reason. If there was actually conflict between Elaine and Madison for YEARS behind the scenes, there are REASONS for this conflict. And we don't know these reasons. Obxanon isn't tell us. Rudy and Elaine aren't telling us. Madison and Mariah aren't telling us. WE DON'T KNOW.
I just need people to really think about the information we're getting from obxanon and why they might be painting it like this. I think it's PR. I think it is distracting us from how angry we feel about the show, and is channeling that anger onto Rudy and Elaine. Who have never, NEVER spoken about this conflict and have never tried to justify anything. They're private people. They're easy targets for a PR campaign like this.
There is something seriously wrong with obxanon and the way they are giving us information. Netflix and the Pates know this fandom. They know how hateful they can be. Obxanon is just tapping into that and fuelling it away from the show and onto Rudy.
You need to remember where we started. Fans love Jiara because they love JJ. So many people love this show because they love JJ. That's obviously clear, look at the uproar over his death. You know why they love JJ? Because Rudy created him and made us love him. Rudy did that. Rudy gave us that.
We would not care about JJ or Jiara if Rudy didn't do the work that he did. And here everyone is, hating on him. Hoping his career fails. Hoping he breaks up with his partner.
That's gross.
I understand why people are mad. Season 4 was a shitshow. Terrible writing, ridiculous plot holes, character assassination, a loss of chemistry between the fan favourite couple. Finished off with a completely traumatizing and unsatisfying death of the favourite character. The show is irreparably damaged.
THAT IS NOT RUDY'S FAULT.
I'm not saying he didn't play a part in it, but it is not JUST on him. And alllllll of that anger is being directed at him in the form of bullying and hatred.
He's a person. People make mistakes. But they also make choices for themselves, and clearly he felt he needed to make this choice. We can't judge that unless we know the reason and WE DON'T.
I will not watch season 5 and that is the Pate's fault for completely losing the plot. For not understanding why so many fans loved this show.
I also need to leave this fandom because people are so hateful and NO ONE is thinking critically about the situation.
Please try to look at the bigger picture. Please try to understand that these people are human beings. We don't know them. We don't know what happened on that set. We don't know why anyone made the choices we did. So chill out?
Be upset about the show but don't be upset with the actors. They did their job and it's done. Leave them alone.
This is a friendly reminder that shows from ESPECIALLY big productions like Netflix are very much protected in terms of divulging information and they do THE MOST to keep content secretive.
Full plot and full script are in the hands of very few people outside the directors/producers and main cast, not even minor characters get the full script outside their own scenes… and those people (including camera operators, makeup artists, photography directors, costume department, sound technicians etc.) ALL sign NDA (non disclosure agreements) contracts and legally can’t talk about secretive stuff otherwise there will be heavy sanctions and can get persecuted and even lose their job, and people who are not that important on the crew or are not constantly on set for the entirety of the production simply don’t know shit about the plot (especially if the show’s production moves to a whole different continent and very limited crew follows).
Long story short to say don’t believe everything you read on the internet, some people are bored and love to create chaos when there’s already commotion just to see people freak out. I could create an account right now after uploading this post and randomly say “someone I know very well and who lives in Charlotte was involved in the production of episode 9 and knows a lot…Luke will stab JJ on the lighthouse and he will die from it ‘cause Rudy was done with the show. Don’t believe me but you’ll see in a few months” and you’d probably believe me just ‘cause I was assertive about it and added a few believable details from spoilers and speculations we all already knew.
Also if someone would breach the NDA contract and say something they’d surely do it with people really close to them and really trusted people and not to acquaintances who’ll probably write it on social media.
Maybe JJ will die, maybe he won’t and maybe season 4 will be the last or maybe it won’t…but we’ll only know it once we see it with our own eyes.
