Woody ended up with the good life because he forgave everyone in the end ..x x

[@LunaRose1312]

And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us

[@monkeyface6139]

@OCpsychonaut Thats true, but his 'forgiveness is underrated mate line tells you what's what. His love/need of Lol is greater than his hatred of what was done to him. I couldn't do that...certainly Milky would not be round my house having a drink. I despise what the did to Woody, Combo should have smashed him again. And Combo.. devil to saint transformation is one if the best storylines ever. Imo.

[@sharpgage6512]

@OCpsychonaut if woody didnt over come his hate and anger for lol and milky cheating on him he would have denyed his own happyness. thats the point. he would have lived an unhappy unforfilled life deep down. hence at the weddings him and lol are so happy every minet of there dancing together, free from the passed. milky in the same moment is lost and tormented as a result of his desire for revange and his inabiltiy to forgive.

[@razmataz13drums]

@OCpsychonaut did you watch it..? I dont undertsand who has seen all the shit lol has gone through in her life, and still hold it so against her. What she did was shit, and she clearly lied about it for too long. But you can see in the end that they love each other, Lol isn't a bad person just becasue she did a horrible thing. It took her at her lowest for Woody to realise that that stuff was in the past, and he just loved her and wanted to help her get through it. In the end he realised that he had gotten past it. Milky on the other hand, he doesnt have such an excuse of going completely of the rails and unwell. Milky was there when Woody broke down and was so worried about Lol, thats when he should have been honest, at least that Lol was really going though something. But yeah the ending shows that forgiveness and not holding onto hate is how you live a happy life- Milky couldnt get over what Combo did, but Woody could. hence why they end the show on different ends of the spectrum

[@razmataz13drums]

@OCpsychonaut sure, but you're tying up the notion of right and wrong with forgiveness. You're putting the wrong action into the unforgivable box, and I would just disagree here. I dont think anyone deserves forgiveness or not, its quite a personal journey made for lots of reasons, or no reason at all and you just cant get over it emotionally. Thats all fine. For me, I couldnt see how you could forgive Milky, I agree with you there, like I say in my comment, so I dont think forgiving is something you HAVE to do. I dotn thin cheating is insignificant at all, you could see how it destroys trust and is a violation of the commitment you're making with your partner. But I don't think its the worst thing you can do, there are many ways you can break trust, and it frustrates me how cheating is always used by tv shows to portray a breakdown or lack of trust and loyalty. My point is that, I find it baffling how anyone can watch the show and see Lol as a pile of shit too. Her action was completely shitty, make no bones about it. Does that make her a shitty person? Yeah probably. But she is also an icnredibly good person at the same time, that is loyal and protects those around her even past all the ways life could have made her not so. So I do think context is incredibly important. Milky has his own demons and reasons to sleep with Lol sure, but they were much less 'justified' than Lol's reasons. She was having a mental breakdown, and her traust of those around her was slipping away. Her way of dealing with this was through sex, which is common for those sexually abused as children. This doesnt make her justified or that she SHOULD be forgiven by Woody. But he loves her, and knows her, and DECIDED that he could and wanted to forgive her so that they both could be happy. I think the show does this well, where Combo goes into the car with Milky and gets up when the men go into the cafe. he knows he's done wrong and he has accepted he needs to make amends. I agree shitty reasons dont justify it, all you can do is try and not be shitty going forward. This wont necessarily be accepted by the person you wronged, and in fact that can fuel your anger, like how dare you be all changed and moral, I've also had to deal with this and I've got this anger inside of me that you put there, good for you fro gettign over it. At the end of the day thats what the show is about, that empathy and learning to accept and move on from your past is the only way to live with any sort of happiness. You may not deserve to have been forgiven, or it may not be right that you forgave someone, but ultimately we're all human and make mistakes. Its just deciding where your line is that you cant get past. For me, I dont understand how you can watch the show and not have empathy for Lol.
