Me, looking at Dolores as she’s shocked that using and abusing those she claims to care about has negative results:

My reaction

applepiewithextrafreedom:

i find it really funny that the “wholesome and chaste “couple Teddy and dolores are doing a world wide mass murder spree and “madame slutty and market tested bad boy” AKA maeve and hector are on a heroic mission to save a little girl

Random Westworld thought

While watching yesterday it occurred to me that both Teddy and Hector occupy roles that would be traditionally given to female love interests. They’re comitted to the cause of their partner and spend much of the time either getting hurt or getting smooched. This made me think about how perhaps men find the show uncomfortable because of the passivity of these characters (along with that of Felix and Sizemore who get ordered around by Maeve all the time). But then it also occurred to me that its not like these are all the male characters on the show. Theres also Bernard, Stubbs, Ford and the MIB among others. If anything, Westworld has more diversity among male character archetypes than a lot of shows where men just grimace and punch things.
