dangermousieYou know what I don't buy? In real life, Ryan seeing the amazing life of luxury these people live, and how far removed it is from his own poverty-stricken existence, and knowing he has to go back to the same p.s.e. would make him really consider the unfairness, give him envy, anger and an attitude. Heck, not even Polyanna would feel satisfied with her life after such a contrast.
He'll end up wondering why those kids should have stuff when he doesn't, just because of genetic lottery. Even if it's going to be an inchoate 'I wish I had this junk' train of thought.
He'll be either breaking in to steal stuff, join the Communist party and want to sack the places, or become materialistically obsessed in a more capitalist way and deal drugs (to those same richie riches) to support his lux craving.
OK?
I am also amused at the fact that Ryan is so white white white. Wouldn't it be more interesting (and believable) to have him be Black or Hispanic? As opposed to looking like every other OCer? Making the culture clash more real?
Plus, seriously, I am getting rentboy vibes. I think it's impossible for one man to tie another one's (when the other one is all pretty and young) without triggering those.
Also, Seth is so annoying I want him to die. And I like Marissa. Actually (and I am about to forfeit any accumulated coolness points), but I rather like Ryan/Marissa. Because I know how it ends and I dig angst. Clearly I am a mutant. But with a socialist consciousness :P
