JJ is the best character in Outer Banks.
Let me explain why.
Very beginning of outer bank shows.
JJ is this carefree?
POGUE Who makes some bad decision, but JuJu's character development is the best in the show.
By EPSO 10, we realized that Jayjay character is a tragic story of someone who fights there
is horrible home life and abuse.
Just trying to make his friends happy.
I'm going to over Gyges Development as a whole and what I believe is the most important scene
in Outer Banks in the hot tub.
So come on below with your favorite character is leaving like in this video.
Let's aim for one hundred.
Let's get right into it.
Joan, did you just, you know, the rule also spoilers ahead starting from the very beginning.
We see JJ steal the gun from Scooter's save in episode one.
It gives us the idea that he's just a bad kid killing gun for no reason because he thinks
it's cool.
And overall, he kind of comes off as a guy who has a huge ego and makes some bad decisions,
like pulling out a gun on the beach later and the same.
But beginning episode three, we see that there's more to Jayjay than what we initially think.
We start to see him do things for his friends.
The things that does might not be the best, but we'll get to why later.
First, we see J.J. use his craftiness to steal the drone from the junkyard to help John D.
Treasure hunt.
And then later in the same.
So do we see how much Pogue getting beat up by Raven Topper.
Thanks, J.J..
Brief talk with me on this leads the pope sinking coughers boat, which isn't exactly
the best revenge.
It shows that Jadeja has pope's back and wants to help him get back for being wronged SWAPO.
Yes, an episode where we see Jay Jay make the biggest sacrifice of the show so far.
He takes the fall for Pope because he feels that Pope has a brighter future.
And he really doesn't feel like he has any of a future for himself.
And he also probably feels responsible for making Pope sink the boat in the first place.
So he decides that he's going to take the jail time or the restitution to them.
Nobody's going to get at the time, but he's gonna take the fall for pope.
This is the beginning of showing how much JJ is willing to do to make sure his friends
are safe and happy.
And then next episode, we'll see why J.J. cares about his friends so deeply.
More than three days ago, both of that plus more is good for you.
It's just a natural organism.
So at the very beginning of Episode five, JJ is dead, abuses him in the car after leaving
the jail.
And this continues at home.
We see that J.J. has to deal with a drug addict who we saw his dad at various plays earlier
in the show and an overall abusive father.
Judge's dad is never happy with J.J. unless he brings the money that he can blow on drugs
and alcohol in the same up.
So after the fight and the constant abuse that J.J. is going through.
We see JJ almost make a drastic decision and almost shooting his father, but decides against
it because even though he's treated him terribly his whole life, JJ knows it's not right to
pull the trigger on his own father, even though George just went through some terrible abuse.
He goes right back to being there for his friends and helping John be with his plan
at midsummer.
Unfortunately, this also ends poorly for JJ as he gets confronted and chased by the kooks.
But even with all you has to go through.
He never second guesses doing anything.
Canvass friends, which is really the only family JJ has when we see JJ finally break,
is when he brings his dad the money for restitution and his dad is planning to blow it.
More drinks and alcohol.
JJ finally wants to do the right thing in his life, which leads to another brutal and
scarring fight with his dad.
Then it seems like JJ gets a little bit drunk to try to forget about the pain and abuse
he's going through.
And we see what might be the most important scene in Outer Banks.
The hot tub scene.
First, we think this is just another rash decision by J.J. who mindlessly spending money.
But there's more going on.
Key and popes seem to notice something is off about JJ two when they first arrive at
the hotta.
They get mad JJ for blowing the restitution money.
Then JJ stands up.
This reveals his bruising and he finally notices what JJ has been through with his father.
JJ did not blow the money just to have fun and waste money like an idiot.
He spent the money to feel loved by his friends.
Yeah, all of this emotional shit.
And you might be thinking, why would you do to spend this money just to try to feel loved.
But this goes back to his father.
The only time Daddy feels loved by his father is when he brings in money.
Because of this, he overvalues money and he gets overly happy to get money and extremely
upset about losing it.
As we've seen many times in the show, my likes it.
All he knows is how to get love.
You have to spend money because of his father.
So he buys the hot tubs and lights and the whole setup for his true family, which is
his friends in the Pogues.
And as you see, this is really the only family JJ has.
We don't see any other family members.
Only family as in life, is his father, who is terrible to him.
So his friends is all he has.
All ultimately takes is JJ to get hugged by Chiara.
And this makes you finally feel truly cared for and it causes him to completely break
down and feel loved for who he is.
You actually feel safe and he doesn't have to be this emotional, tough guy anymore.
Who does that to put up with his dad's beating?
He can feel love.
He can actually sit there and be sad and cry and have emotions.
And he finally gets to feel like he belongs somewhere.
Then ultimately, him stealing the boat keys from his dad at the end of the season represents
JJ being OK with just completely letting go of and ruining the connection with his dad.
And he finally fully embraces the Pogues and he's ready to move on from this abusive passage.
And once again, even though his dad is terrible to him, he's still risking this connection.
That was a terrible connection.
But his only connection life with his dad by stealing this boat is completely torture
when his dad finds out about that.
But once again, he does not care.
He just wants to feel love and do the best thing for the Pogues.
I truly believe that JJ is the most interesting character in Outer Banks just because of how
he starts officers this character.
I think it's gonna be like the comedy relief kind of funny guy that does stupid things
and get the Pogues in trouble.
But in reality, he is one of the deepest characters in this show that has the best connection
with all the characters, I believe, and the best reasoning for doing what he does.
Hopefully, season two leads to a brighter future for JJ and maybe a love life with a
new character or cure is the popular theory.
But whatever happens, I hope it's a brighter future for JJ.
But it's not going to look that way because at the beginning they're really gone.
I think John B is dead and JJ and John B have been best friends, so it's probably only going
to go down for JJ from here, but hopefully we get a brighter future for JJ.
