[@oishanichowdhury4168]

Losing JJ is like watching the light go out in someone who deserved so much more than what life gave him. He was the one who held everyone up even when he crumbled quietly under the weight of a broken home, fists clenched to hide the bruises life left on him. He carried all this hurt, all this rage and somehow still managed to give so much of himself to his friends and to everyone who needed him. JJ was the fighter who stood up for others but he was also the boy who just wanted to be loved, to be seen, to matter. And now he’s gone. He left this hollow ache that feels unfair like the world stole the best part of him before he ever got a chance to heal. It honestly feels like a crime to have known his light only to see it snuffed out too soon.

[@ROSEtomatoes]

I couldn't find the words for how his death made me feel but you just did it for me so thank you. I can't stop crying bc he was such a good person even after everything he had been through he kept fighting but in the last few episodes he seemed so depressed and not himself. I hope in season 5 they can do him justice. The only things I can find comfort in is that Kie was with him until the very end and he didn't seem scared to die he seemed at peace with what he had accomplished in his too short life. Thanks again and if you read this sorry it's so long lol❤❤❤❤P4L

I just read a similar comment and I totally agree with the fact that the depth of JJ's character deserved a better outcome or ending, he represented resilience like no one on the show did, and to die by the hands of a STRANGER, cause that is what his "father" is, was just incredibly disappointing and like some one else already said: just cruel.

i don't think the writers fully understand just how cruel his death was. having such a horrible upbringing and seeing this character find his people, his friends who felt like family is such a glimpse of light and hope for people who struggled with similar issues, i just know many many people can see themselves in him. his last few days of life were genuinely horrible and to die in the hands of his father who was even far worse than his fake dad he was abused by his entire life.. i will never forgive y'all for that actually.

[@skylermaybank]

exactly. i never will either. i can't explain how heartbroken i am like this has actually hit me harder than any other death in other movies and shows like i literally feel like i'm mourning someone in real life. i have cried every day since i saw him die and have cried 4 or 5 times each day abt it when i think abt it or see videos of him. i will never get over this. this has actually made me feel depressed.. jj was literally a part of me so now a part of me is broken. i js can't believe they would do this💔

Rudy wanted to go, the writers had to make an impossible choice about how to write him off and I think it speaks volumes that they knew killing him was the only option- there’s no realistic storyline where JJ chooses to leave his friends behind.

[@AmyMalcolm-v1v]

It truly shows how close these 6 are. Yes, personal quarrels may have happened. We don’t know for sure and we never will, because we’re not them. But this video and their words and reactions towards Rudy just prove that they all care deeply. They care about this show, they care about their characters, and most importantly, they care about each other. And clearly, Rudy cared deeply about JJ and loved that character. He also clearly loves the 5 friends siting around him and enjoyed working with them, as they did with him. ❤️

There’s no outer banks without JJ. The show will never be the same. I’m ganna miss him so much. Honestly there’s no point to season 5. It’s so devastating that his character had to end like this

[@eyeslikeoceans]

Yup, really dumb decision by the writers and he should've went out in a much more "epic" scene if anything.. BUT, literally the first 10 seconds after he died I thought "oh they're gonna use the crown to wish him back to life" (either the pogues or Groff does one good-guy thing before he bleeds out or something at the end and JJ rises from the ashes) While I don't think it's very likely and a bit too "magical" for the show, I still think it's a possibility. Like the writers wanted to bamboozle us big time and break our hearts to bring him back to end the show perfectly in the final season.

when chase said that no one else could play jj’s role i think they mean that no one coule bring jj to life like rudy did, no one can compare how similar rudy and jj were with their bright, outgoing, crazy, funny personalities. jj was an amzing character and the show wont be the same without him, he made the whole show come to life. im in tears writing and watching this video, so i can only imagine how they feel to have rudy leave after four years. goodbye rudy, and rip jj maybank, p4l. “stupid things have good outcomes all the time”

I’ll forever be grateful to Rudy for the passion he exudes for his craft, and for inspiring me to do the same, despite the dispassion of high school.

[@justseekingtherightanswer]

When Chase said Rudy brought JJ to life in a way that no other human being could have ever touched or gotten close to, I can just see this unique, playful, almost childlike smile that carried the show for four years, and that drew me into this world even before I had seen all of Season 1. When the cast say that Rudy is the actor who’s most like their character I think what they’re talking about is that pure hearted love of adventure that Rudy has and is unashamed of, climbing trees, taking in the beauty around him and appreciating things that most people overlook, bringing joy to everyone around without having to force it or asking for approval, because I feel like he’s one of those people who can make an atmosphere feel at ease and feel like home just by being his authentic self, and it’s impossible for that not to shine through the character he played. Sadly I have to put that last word in the past tense, but I think he is the only character who can actually make you feel like even death can’t stop him, and he will live on even after the story is all told.

[@BeautifulButterfly5]

This is literally the worst decision they could have made. They did not do JJ justice. We’ve watched JJ get beaten and hurt the entire show and this season was supposed to be his story. And instead of showing us his growth from the trauma and pain that he suffered the entire first three seasons, we had to watch him think that he finally had a dad who loved him after his first abusive dad betrayed him. And then dad number 2 went and stabbed him in the back literally and figuratively while also framing him for murder and admitting to killing his mom. And then JJ gets worse in his recklessness and substance abuse. He admits to his friends that he wishes he was dead. And then he is murdered at the hands of his abusive father for no reason. So they made a show that had some darker themes but that was supposed to be about friendship and treasure hunting so dark and depressing that retroactively it goes back and ruins the entire show. Not to mention the fact that season 5 will never feel fulfilling because they started a character’s journey and then killed him off in the middle of it. JJ for the entire show has worried that he is an abusive monster like his dad(s) and we never get any resolution to it.

[@SodaPop180]

I think the only way they can fix his story and the show is either rewriting at least the last episode of season 4 or bringing him back. If they leave him dead, they will have ruined the show.

[@Freedomfred25]

[@haniakhan9897]

I 100% agree Killing the main character before the finale season is pointless, seriously! The entire season revolved around JJ's quest for what rightfully belonged to him - a home. Yet, he never got to achieve that. The storyline unfolded smoothly until the end, where he even surrendered the crown to Groff. It made no sense to kill him off. They did JJ dirty, denying him even a burial on his homeland.

Rudy embodying JJ, and making JJ who he was, is something truly special. My acting coach once told me “don’t act, just be.” And that stuck with me. And that’s exactly how Rudy embodied JJ.

[@acorns2345]

Didn't they bury him at the end of the episode.

[@irene3694]

bro fr 😭😭 i’m actually devastated

[@irene3694]

@@acorns2345 they did but a lot of fans kinda made possible alternative endings to cope with his death

[@AdiSheoran]

bro JJ was my favorite character in the series. I'm lowkey gonna cry

[@nashbash786]

hearing Madison voice made me teary too can't wait for her to get that revenge!!!

[@hollyobrien2816]

I think I love his character best and will miss him most of all. To bring a character to life in the way he did is amazing. He said that JJ changed his life, well, he might have changed all of ours a little too! ❤

[@mateaelena9408]

How will I watch an entire season without JJ? I cant

[@Ellaalwine15]

Dude I’m crying hearing everyone saying good bye is so sad. When I heard Madison voice crack I had literal tears.😭

[@St4zzb0o]

This show genuinely got attached to my heart, especially JJ/rudy, I related to JJ the most in the sad aspects and the happy ones. Rudy has quickly became also one of my favorite actors and hearing him leave and especially seeing his character die was like someone important leaving me😭 Hearing the cast talk about Rudy was also so heart warming yet so sad

[@airfryer.]

i usually find it dumb when people get attached to fictional characters, but jj is one of those characters who i got attached to fast whenever i started watching the show, thank you rudy for making such a beautiful character. i wish u all the best💗
