Sometimes in life, the good girls lose to the evil psychopath. That's reality - if the finale were written properly, that probably would have been true in Kappa land as well. I want someone to show that for once. I want the "villain" or anti-hero or what have you to win because that's the way the world does just work sometimes, and it would have been far more satisfying to see that.
And I don't think Hester living and getting off free is a good example of that because she and her story and everything are convoluted as all hell and she's only a psycho/villain because of the circumstances of her upbringing.

Nothing about this show has ever pretended to be realistic, so I'm not going to complain that the jury scene wasn't. And disagreed on Chanel, I knew she'd open her damn mouth and get them in trouble, especially after I saw "not guilty"
The difference is the evil psychopaths they lose to are smart and capable, like Hester. Chanel was neither. And it IS the evil psychopaths who came out ahead, when you think about it: Hester and Dean Munsch are better off than anyone else. As said, the difference between them and the Chanels is that they're smart. They're careful. And they hide their true nature. On the other hand, the Chanels are vapid, stupid, and flaunt how evil they are; Oberlin literally sent out an email confessing to attempted murder and recorded herself trying to stab Melanie Dorkus with a pair of scissors. Those aren't the actions of a person who gets away with being evil, they're the actions of a girl who gets caught.
I dunno. I didn't feel a lot of sympathy from this show to Hester at all, she was definitely portrayed as a villain through and through, and Munsch even points out that all her victims were basically innocents. Not to mention the last scene with them agreeing to let each other get away with murders.... yeah. I'd say they were pretty evil. And blaming it on upbringing doesn't work, because, like the Chanels, Hester had complete control over her actions.
EDIT: And for what it's worth, I get what you're saying. I just personally have a very different view. I feel like this might be one of those cases where agreeing to disagree is best.(I don't mind talking, I just know this thread gets heated and I don't want that :dead: )
Hell no.
Hester literally killed AND was being a bitch WITH the chanels and got away with it all.
