Coldplay When They Kiss Is Evil - Blog Posts

I think I used to believe that this season was in some way more authentic than the classic bad boy trope but rewatching it, it feels really conventional. I think in particular Noora's "activism" or like moralistic assertion of her superiority over William feels really forced, whereas William's "good side" feels equally as contrived. I also think the way that the Noora sees Eva this season, as a party girl with delusions about Jonas, also just makes me sad! But there is, of course, a chemistry between them and I'm interested to see what my new thoughts will be once shit goes down. Episode 4 for the absolute win btw.

Homework for Week # 4

What seems to differentiate Noora & William from the classic stereotypical bad-boy-gets-the-girl-who-hates-him-to-fall-in-love-with-him trope? Or do you not think their story so far is at all different from this trope?
