In the hunt for vengeance, she forgets what she even fought for to begin with! I am aware that was the intention of her backstory, but it makes this great villain I saw from Crookedstar’s Promise turn into a laughingstock because she isn’t this dastardly or cool villain anymore (to me - opinion my vary). So that begs the rhetorical question, where on EARTH does that sound like a smart plan?!
StarClan is not going to give Mapleshade her kits after she demonstrated she is a murderer and killer, and so Mapleshade has basically lost all rights to ever see them again. But, by plotting this revenge in the first place, she dashes her chances of ever seeing them again. It is possible I might miss something.įirst off, she plans this great revenge, but seems to have forgotten the reason why she did it in the first place. If anyone would care to give the exact quotes, feel free to. I am going to point out what I remember from the books that makes me think she isn’t that great. Her plans are viewed as intelligent and brilliant, and the fans clamor for another villain like Mapleshade. However, a lot of the fandom seems to regard Mapleshade as this 'evil goddess’ who is dastardly and evil with this tragic backstory for why. Who knows how the results for each individual will turn out.ĭo we, as the fans, give Mapleshade too much credit for being intelligent, well-written and a strong female character? I was looking back (in my head - haven’t read the books in years) to her plans and how she executed them, and all I can think is ‘wow…that was ill-thought out and rash.’ Hey, it may make you like Mapleshade even more. I know that sometimes we can mistake rants as personal attacks towards us, and so I want to make it very clear I am not judging or shaming you if you like her character. Until her character was botched for me, that is. Just I’m not wrong about disliking her - she actually used to be one my favorite villains when she first was announced. I do hope to get some people to see my point of view about this, but I also recognize I cannot force someone to see my point of view. This is an analysis of why I think she is a poorly written villain and character. Before I start: This is notmeant to ridicule or make fun of people who like Mapleshade’s character.
