Fans ofOutlander angry with Jamie Fraser? Is this really possible? This indeed seems difficult to conceive. However, it is true, spectators do not always agree with the actions of the hero played by Sam Heughan. This is the case in the second part of season 7, currently broadcast on Netflix in France. If episode 15 left us with a totally devastated Jamie, praying that Claire survives her injuries and her operation, the character's behavior raised questions in previous episodes. While we will have to wait two weeks before discovering the finale of season 7, Jamie is the subject of heated debate on the American forum Reddit. “Am I the only one who thinks that the Jamie we see in Part 2 of Season 7 is totally different from the one we know? I had low expectations for these episodes after reading some spoilers, but I didn't expect to hate Jamie and Claire so much!”, wrote a fan in a long message.
Outlander season 7: fans angry with “unworthy and repugnant actions of the Frasers”
And to explain: “The way they treated Lord John Grey, especially Jamie upon his return after the supposed shipwreck, totally disgusted me with the character. And then the sex scene between Claire and Jamie, where we see right after Lord John who is suffering in being a prisoner, it made me not want to see them on screen anymore and to despise Claire and Jamie as a couple.” This viewer does not understand how Jamie was able to hand John over to the militia, without any remorse, nor even think once of going to rescue him. “It’s shocking, especially when you know how loyal and supportive John has been to them all these years.” Jamie is not the only one involved, Claire's behavior when she treats John also raises questions for this Internet user. Another problem? Jamie's reaction when he learns that William is responsible for Ian's arrest. “It feels like the entire season is filled with unworthy and disgusting actions of the Frasers,” she concluded. A surprise for this viewer, especially since Jamie's loyalty to those close to him has always been one of the character's characteristic traits, since the very beginning of the series.
“It’s really ridiculous.” : this part of the plot of season 7 ofOutlander which doesn't hold water for fans who have read Diana Gabaldon's books
If some fans ofOutlander defended the hero and the couple, some however share this opinion and this subject has in any case sparked strong reactions among the community. “I totally agree. It's funny, at first I didn't like Roger but now he's the only reason I keep watching the show. I really hate Jamie this season,” wrote another. According to an internet user, “I think they wanted to draw a parallel between Jamie's angry and hasty behavior and William's, to show that they are similar.” For another viewer, this plot does not hold water: “I read the books and I think the show handled this storyline very poorly. I'm very angry and annoyed that Jamie and Claire are living in John's house while he's not there, that Jamie l “He was beaten up and left to a militia in the woods. It's really ridiculous.”
“Jamie has been put on a pedestal for so long,” according to fansOutlander
You might also need to take a closer look at Diana Gabaldon's books or rewatch the first seasons ofOutlander to remember who Jamie Fraser really is, as one Internet user recalls: “I think sometimes people forget that Jamie is a violent and jealous man deep down. I don't know what people expected when he found out that his friend slept with his wife, his love. life, and what's more, he admits to having done this to feel close to him.” If Jamie Fraser has indeed become a hero adored by millions of fans, he has not always been free of reproaches throughout history.
Same feeling for this fan, who explains: “Jamie has been put on a pedestal for so long. I think Diana Gabaldon wrote the character that way, but as the seasons go by his true hurt character comes to the surface and fans start to see it. Jamie has been through so many horrible things, he has experienced so much hurt and injustice, it makes him violent and jealous He reacts to situations on spontaneous emotions, it's escalating. I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to be. angry for certain situations but, as intelligent as he is, he reacts too quickly, without taking the time to think and get all the details of the story before acting. I just hope that when Claire and. Jamie will be done with the drama, we will find them as when they were young, the adorable couple we fell in love with, to end the series. We will have to wait for the season 8 finale ofOutlander to find out. And you, are you disappointed by Jamie's attitude in this season 7?
