![]() ![]() Teen girls aren’t always written in a way that comes across as authentic, and that’s something I’ve always disliked. The reactions that Callie is has towards Shauna (no matter how up or down), in light of all this, are helping me appreciate her character in a way that I didn’t expect. Finding out her mom has killed an innocent person, on top of cheating on her father, who she seems to have more affection for is not easy for Callie to process-at least not initially. In season 2, the unplanned murder of Adam (Peter Gadiot) is still causing problems for Shauna, Jeff (Warren Kole), and Callie, and rather than stay in Shauna’s perspective of the aftermath, we’re now getting more of Callie’s POV. She’s now a character with a story of her own that’s both linked to and somewhat independent of Shauna. Callie is no longer a mere foil to Shauna’s plans and desires in life. It wasn’t until season 2 (which is still airing) that I found myself seeing Callie’s character a bit differently. In the first season, Callie comes across as an ungrateful white teenager who is consistently antagonistic towards Shauna-normally for no good reason-leading to many folks disliking her and finding her annoying. Just like so many male characters over the years, women should get the chance to be complex and, yes, even “unlikable” while still being the protagonists of the story and people we root for.īut the contrast with the complexity of most of the show’s characters is exactly why I find Shauna’s (Melanie Lynskey) one-note daughter, Callie (Sarah Desjardins), so aggressively unlikable in season 1. Showtime’s Yellowjackets season 1 introduced us to plenty of unlikable characters, and there’s nothing wrong with admitting that. There are times when that dislike comes from an irrational place or even internal biases, but other times not liking a character comes from us not being given much reason to. Inazuma Eleven, rated at a 7.67/10 on MyAnimeList, is available to watch on Netflix but is limited to certain territories.Navigating the treacherous waters of disliking a character is no easy feat. To do this, he’ll need a little help and more than a little luck.” – Inazuma Eleven, via MAL.
