Current Events > How do you feel about John Locke in Lost? spoilers

(+) Yeah! (+)

Season 1 Locke was GOAT

From there on out they kind of turned him into a huge idiot

Jack becomes a man of faith but still maintains his scientific side to become a more balanced human being

Locke goes the opposite direction and never becomes more balanced, just becomes more erratic and dumb until he's manipulated into an early death

Yeah he went downhill starting with the hatch.

You pretty much nailed my opinion.

Good metaphor for the show itself. Imagine taking one of the most popular characters and completely ruining him, first steadily and then a sharp uptick.

His faith did shake when he lost Boone though, we can't deny how much that shook him

They did Boone dirty, I was bummed when Charlie got his fate but Boone really was the one who got done dirty.

Without him we wouldn't have pokemon nuzlocke runs so I guess he's all right

you made me remember how bad this show got

Should've been Michael tbh

easily the worst of the og cast of characters.

My feelings for John Locke are best summed up with this.

Locke isn't that deep. It's just that nobody wants to embarrass themselves or whatever by explaining it. lol There's only a small handful of things about him that really come to mind or stick and stand out from the rest of the filler which echoes around those beats. He is a type, and that type is rare. What it really isn't is all that complex, but they take Locke in like what I wanna call a Bruce Willis direction. Also that name. John Locke. There's a ton of philosophy in Lost, and Lock is someone who much like the show itself, intentionally makes himself enigmatic, as a means of survival. His character shifts and the closure of arc, and development are great. I think he ends up being the opposite of who he was in the beginning, which was a little scary, and it's kinda great in a way that Lost became a parody of itself, or could be viewed that way from the perspective of Locke's character, who always seemed to me like someone out of a boardgame, or some old movie. At times he was portrayed as and came across as the protagonist of Lost, and made for a great villain echoing the big bad.

He was great throughout. Sad character.

I loved Locke as a character. I really enjoyed his dynamic with Jack and his overall journey. I can agree that they changed his character in a lot of ways but I still enjoyed his arc and all

I feel you shouldve asked this question 15 years ago when the show was on
