For How Much (rightful) Criticism Dawn Of The Clans Gets I’m Surprised I Haven’t Seen Anyone Mention

For how much (rightful) criticism Dawn Of The Clans gets I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention the inaccurate characterizations that happen from The First Battle to The Blazing Star.

The First Battle ends with relegations of how bad Clear Sky is, how mislead he was, how much hes hurt everyone around him and then all the characters become aware of why he was acting the way he was and Thunder opens his heart to Clear Sky. He’s like ‘oh that’s why my dads like that. He’ll have to work hard to right the wrongs he’s done but I believe he can do it. It’ll take me a while to forgive him though’. But then The Blazing Star begins with them forgetting how they all were feeling about Clear Sky and creating conflict because they go back to being unsympathetic and that he’ll never change again.

I read these books back to back so it might be more noticeable just because there wasn’t a year between me reading the two (also I swear you can tell when a new Erin begins writing in the series), but my point still stands.

I think people hate Clear Sky because the books themselves didn’t properly justify his redemption. They needed conflict, they had understanding and acceptance of him too early and then they back tracked to prolong it. It’s like whiplash the way Thunder goes from hating his father to understanding him and having hope for him back to hating if him and then liking him at the end of the series.

That’s one thing that sucks about this Warrior Cat series (and i wouldn’t be surprised about the others once I get to them), the Erins don’t always create coherent stories and characters. And maybe it’s just this book but all the characters are very static as well and when they try to have dynamic characters it just seems forced for plot. Which really sucks because this is a great concept for a series and it wasn’t all terrible.

hey so we put your morally grey character in a fandom. yeah half the fanbase makes them into a perfect angel who did nothing wrong and the other half depicts them as a cartoonishly evil villain who hurts people for fun. no we dont know how to explain that people can do bad things for good reasons or good things for bad reasons. sorry man

potentially unpopular opinion but it would've been nice to have thunder and star flower actually get together and have a DEVELOPED relationship as opposed to shoving in the weird love triangle with clear sky and giving thunder a LITERAL last minute love interest just because clear sky needed a third and final girlfriend after he indirectly got the last two he knocked up killed and because thunder needed a girlfriend

like we could have had two young characters at odds after star flower's betrayal learning to open up to each other and gain each other's trust once more and bonding over the fact that they both had shitty dads who did shitty things and creating a group for themselves away from clear sky

like i have never felt closer to vomiting than reading through the clear sky/star flower romance chapters it made me so uncomfortable

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

I do condemn the media and governments for spending more time and resources searching for those five morons than for the Mediterranean wreckage, however I can’t be mad at the internet because i get it. Only one of these stories is funny and only one of these stories is a win for the working class. If this situation helps further cement the fact that only certain lives are valued under capitalism, and that the rich are NEVER smarter or savvier than the lower classes, then I say keep the memes coming.
