So then I realized acting it's really about not acting it's about letting the emotions inside of
you come out and represent moments are you dating anyone I just think we should know if he has a
girlfriend do you yeah I do Beck Oliver is by far the least used character in Victorious because of
this many tend to say that Beck is a flat and boring character and honestly I don't entirely
disagree what makes this frustrating though is the fact that Beck has the potential to be a character
that really stands out not for crazy antics or for witty one-liners but for being the only main
character that doesn't sing except for those few times Beck's passion in life is to be an actor
but unfortunately most acting scenes in Victorious are usually relegated to a quick joke at the
beginning of an episode or a background scene for a much greater plot because of that Beck's main
talent never really gets to shine in any way despite there being a variety of opportunities
where being an actor would come in handy but how could we fix this what barriers prevent
Beck from breaking out of his blatantly basic boring and borderline brain dead personality
can Beck be brought back from the bottomless pit of boredom in beauty you can bet on it
there's not enough people with originality so here I am to save the day Jayniac
your lemonade sir thanks hey why is it pink it's pink lemonade I've never seen any pink lemons
there are no pink lemons so what makes it pink
Beck is easily the calmest of the main characters which you definitely need in
a show like Victorious but even he has his limits someone please take me to a car door so I can slam
my face in it I have a car he also rarely passes up an opportunity to make a snarky remark because
a lot of his signature moments are more subtle Beck is often overshadowed by the other characters
the same can be said of his plots in the show you see all of Beck's main plots revolve around
other characters whether it's Tori, Robbie, or especially Jade he usually takes a back seat
to their crazy antics playing a reactive role to their positive or negative actions
this is a huge misstep because Beck is incredibly talented the show establishes that he knows
enough about mechanics to fix Robbie's car he's savvy enough to write and direct his own plays
but above all else he has a deep-seated love for acting and drag racing no no the other drag racing
as I mentioned in my Victorious vs Taina video links in the description down below Beck would
be a lot more interesting if we got to see him use his talent more and I don't just mean for
plays say for example in Terror on Cupcake Street when Beck has to confront the guys that jumped him
and Andre imagine if we got to see Beck use his acting skills to get them out of that situation
or even in Locked Up how interesting would it be to see Beck use his acting skills to convince the
inmates to help the Victorious gang find a way out of prison it doesn't have to be realistic because
well it's Victorious so it wouldn't be that far-fetched to see him use his acting to
charm his way in and out of situations speaking of charm the most overstated thing about Beck is well
his looks girls are always swooning over this guy and sometimes even guys are and if there
were any doubts that we the audience are supposed to believe that Beck is an object to be desired
I'd like to point out that Beck is the only guy in Victorious that has kissed all four girls
lucky guy what was I talking about oh yeah another thing about Beck that should have been played with
more is his leadership role let me ask you who would you say is the leader of the Victorious gang
it's definitely not Robbie or Trina Cat's way too ditzy Jade probably wouldn't want to be the
leader Andre usually leads everything musical but outside of that he often plays a supportive role
so that leaves us with Beck and Tori I'm sure many would default to Tori because she's the main
character and in many cases yeah Tori tends to call the shots but remember Tori is the new girl
the rest of the gang have known each other longer than they've known Tori so the leader of the
V-gang before they met Tori would most likely have been Beck there are a few subtle hints to this too
the most notable being whenever the gang needs a ride somewhere 9 times out of 10 Beck is the one
driving even though we know Tori is the only one that can't drive if the show really set Beck up as
the gang's leader I feel like he'd be easier to identify as more than just the pretty boy
the least the writers could do is write him consistently in iParty with Victorious Beck
states that he can't be scared for the rest of the episode Sikowitz tries and fails to scare Beck but
then there are a bunch of episodes where Beck is clearly shown being scared Brain Squeezers, Terror
on Cupcake Street, and Wi-Fi in the Sky are just a few examples how much more interesting would it be
if Beck genuinely couldn't be scared it'd be the perfect way to make him zany without taking away
from his level-headedness or leadership status you could even say it has something to do with
his acting skills or maybe it has something to do with his tragic home life no it's cool it's
just you know most high school guys don't live in an RV they parked in their parents driveway
well my parents said if I live under their roof I gotta live by their rules so your roof my rules
throughout the show's run there are more than a few references to Beck being a rebellious child
but before I dive into that I want to share something very important about Beck Oliver
with you listen closely because you might miss it something I couldn't help but notice while
re-watching Victorious something that genuinely caught me by surprise about Beck's character
something I think is constantly understated about Beck's life and why he's awesome is the fact that
Beck Oliver is Canadian True North Strong And Free baby anyway Beck chooses to live in his RV
called the Silver Streak to get away from his parents rules so right off the bat we know that
Beck isn't in complete agreement with the way his parents are raising him is this because
he's an irresponsible teen or are his parents just too strict we never find out but I will
say there are a few hints that Beck's parents strongly disapprove of his relationship with Jade
so maybe that has something to do with it maybe Beck loves Jade so much that he was willing to
move out from under his parents house again that's just speculation something that may give us a
bit more insight into Beck's character however is his RV more specifically the things inside his RV
a European license plate caution signs for hard hats and face shields a Chinese checkers wallpaper
a jukebox under a no loud music sign a neon pink bull head a pool table clock a
beer sign a white board with Beck's rules a fish tank that he never cleans and much
much more it's a shame we're never given any real explanation for some of them for instance why
doesn't Beck clean his fish tank is he blissfully ignorant of the fact that his fish will die
if it isn't cleaned or is he just lazy anything I say about his RV would just be speculation
so if you want to hear my thoughts on Beck's RV let me know in the comments down below
I just think I like dating a girl who you know fights back I mean a girl who's got
strong opinions you know and a big mouth because it's not easy easy is boring
at school Beck is arguably the most popular guy there with many girls and guys clamoring for his
attention so it comes as quite a surprise when we learned that Beck and Jade have been together for
a while before the first episode I've spoken enough about this relationship in my previous
videos just pick one but something I may not have mentioned is the fact that Beck seems to
find amusement in Jade's jealousy either Beck is trying to teach Jade a lesson on not jumping to
conclusions or Beck is a total jerk that loves playing with his girlfriend's insecurities
Beck and I aren't spliting up
well dude kidding Beck and I are not splitsville well is there something you want to talk about
kidding you decide after Jade the closest person to Beck would be his best friend Andre
or so we're told has anyone ever noticed that Beck and Andre the two best friends in the show
are never actually shown hanging out by themselves it honestly feels like Andre
spends more time with Tori than anyone else again a missed opportunity why not have Beck and Andre
working together more often showing their dynamic as best friends would be a cool way to demonstrate
how an actor and a musician need to work together to produce a great play movie or musical but no
instead we get an episode where Beck and Robbie hang out and you know what their dynamic is
pretty cool I was having fun with this whole car fixing thing because of all the girls who came by
to watch dude now you got a car I'm not following your cool guy logic girls like guys that have cars
I've said before that it's interesting how Robbie is allowed to hang out with the Victorious gang
despite how unpopular he probably is compared to the rest of them so to see Beck not care about any
of that really does show that Beck isn't totally vain or narcissistic Beck treats Cat like a little
sister and he always makes an effort to comfort her the one case where Jade doesn't get jealous
I think Trina is the only person Beck openly dislikes and for good reason Trina
is always making passes at him even though he has a girlfriend or has said many times
he's not interested but her sister Tori is another story can we all agree that Beck really likes Tori
the guy makes it pretty obvious from the start during the alphabetical improv he could have
easily said "let's not" in response to Tori's "kiss me" but no he instead says "let's do it"
bear in mind this is while he's dating Jade and while she's in the room there are many instances
of Beck going out of his way to help Tori after this too why is this guy so caught up with Tori
while he's dating Jade it just doesn't seem right and even after Jade and Beck break up
Beck seems pretty eager to get with Tori right away to make matters worse once Beck is free
from Jade in driving Tori crazy a bunch of girls go to his house regularly just to get a car ride
with him and he's totally fine with it does Beck just like the thrill of the chase or is something
more sinister at play here I mean his locker is transparent transparency can mean openness,
emptiness, purity, or clarity but he claims it's transparent because he has nothing to hide
but what if it actually meant that he has a very very open mind
Beck Oliver had a lot of potential to be a really great character unfortunately a lot of his skills
and talents are overshadowed by everyone else I'm not saying you have to make him crazy to go
against that keep him zen I just think there's a lot of things he has that could have been pushed
more to the forefront if they did that then they could really flesh him out and make him
a well-rounded character by the way what would you call the Victorious gang the V-gang
or Gang-Tori or do you have a cooler name for it I was just wondering while writing this script
I ended up settling for V-gang but Gang-Tori is pretty neat too speaking of Tori my Victorious
