People Don’t Understand Doll

Doll has been a hot topic recently, mostly due yo her death in the recent episode 7 of murder drones. People have been saying she is a wasted character, and while she definitely could have been handled better, she was DEFINITELY not wasted. In fact, her death represents her character very well for what it stands for. If you do enjoy the video, please make sure to like and subscribe, it’d mean a lot and help the video grow more.

Doll is such a tragic character… she’s a perfect parallel to Uzi if she stayed solo. Uzi even offered her a chance to turn things around but she still refused because she “didn’t need help.”

[@blanterdang6112]

EXACTLY! Thats why i get so mad when people call her “wasted”

[@andrturan8496]

And it doesn't matter that her parents died because of Uzi? After all, it was because of Uzi that the dismantlers got into the shelter, and it was Uzi with N who prevented Doll from taking revenge on V for her parents

[@Sable-Table]

​@@andrturan8496i believe that Doll's parents were killed long before the pilot (maybe 1-4 years before?) Sorry if I'm wrong! Feel free to correct me :)

[@justarandomdude797]

This is my take. I think Doll's death worked thematically, as she did everything alone. She pushed away anyone that could have helped her, so she died the way she lived, alone in a dark cave. However I do think it was pretty anti-climatic that she died in the way and time that she did. She never got closure to her parents, never found out that she killed V (in the character's eyes) and she died too suddenly. So I'm pretty torn on her death. On the one hand, it fits perfectly thematically, but on the other it feels anticlimactic, and unfulfilling.

[@blanterdang6112]

EXACTLY. I do agree it couldve been done better but it works for her character very well

[@pokesaurusinninjago9631]

If Tessa had revealed that she killed v it would have been better because she would have known she had revenge and her death would have maybe had a bigger toll for use maybe?

Doll is a character who constantly been betrayed by others. This is why she works alone. She did want to help others, but got backstabbed or got nothing every single time. - At the end of episode 2, she save her best friend from the Absolute Solver and potentially the rest of the class by blocking the door. She got no credit for it but it seems like she wasn't looking for it as well. - Episode 3, she schemed with Lizzy to make V the prom queen so she could get revenge. You can hear Lizzy saying it while Uzi is in the bathroom. Everything was going according to plan, but the moment Doll raised her hand Lizzy diched Doll in favor of V. Lizzy didn't hesitate to ruin her surpassingly long friendship with Doll for the one drone that Doll hates the most, simply because V is hotter. Lizzy is a b**ch, and just like Doll I would trust no one after such betrayal. - Right after Uzi steps in to save V, Doll gave her a chance to move aside and noted they both lost a mother for a murder drone. While Doll didn't imply Uzi should help her, she did care enough for Uzi and sympathized with her. Uzi made it clear she will not side with Doll, Doll has been betrayed again. - Doll survives and finds out Uzi also has the Solver. She offers her help if she finds a cure. She planned to do it alone, but didn't try to stop Uzi. - Episode 5, Doll tries to take the key from Uzi by force, but the entire time doesn't try to hurt Uzi. Uzi gives Doll the key, and Doll simply leaves. - Gave Tessa the key as they agreed off camera, got shot in return. Her last message was "Fight back". From what I can tell, Doll always cared for others. She simply lost faith in others bit by bit the entire time. Her drive used to be her care for others, but betrayal after betrayal the drive became more selfish till she could only trust herself. What I think however, she actually cared for Uzi the entire time, even if just a little. Think about it: beside the murder drones, Uzi is the only other drone infected by the Solver which Cyn can control. Uzi is literally the only other worker drone who is in the same condition as Doll, how can she not care? People were talking about closer with V and her drive for revenge. I disagree. Doll was not driven by revenge since the end of episode 3. When she went to take the elevator key from Uzi by force, N and V were sitting right in front of her defenseless. Doll could kill them both right then and there but decided to take the key and leave. If she wanted revenge, wouldn't she try to kill them? If she didn't care for Uzi, wouldn't she try to hurt her while fighting over the key? Uzi is in the way, hurting N and V would throw Uzi off, yet she put her solver to use just to grab the key. Doll doesn't need the closers people pointed out, because at the end Doll only cared for herself and for Uzi. No one is important enough for her to go out of her way to kill them anymore.

[@blanterdang6112]

Thats really well said actually. Youre right she was betrayed. The thing is though, im not saying she never cared for others, its that her insistence to continuously do everything by herself instead of just talking to Uzi about it and them doing it together is what led to her death. She definitely is a tragic character. And this does explain why she was the way she was (still doesnt excuse her killing innocent worker drones for her petty revenge plan) but she also didnt really open up to anyone either, including lizzy, as we can see in episode 2 that lizzy doesnt know what the solver is

[@FrostedMike]

@@blanterdang6112 I have multiple theories as to why Doll insisted on working alone. She could simply talk with Uzi about it like you said, but I think her mistrust in others got in the way. 1. Uzi took a stand with N and V, which makes her an enemy on Doll. Doll found out after that Uzi has the solver, but is doesn't makes her a friend. Uzi is still siding with the murder drones and doesn't seems to change her mind, so why bother trying to ask her help? 2. Doll did try to open up for Lizzy, but Lizzy didn't return the favor. When telling Lizzy her parents died in front of her, Lizzy responded with "That was the joke?". What kind of friend says it? I think Lizzy was aware of Doll having the Solver powers, but wasn't aware of the mechanics behind it and why. Lizzy, being the b**ch she is, simply didn't care enough to ask Doll what's up. Lizzy was conspiring with Doll to murder V, and considering the murders leading up to it means Lizzy had some sort of awareness of Doll's abilities. Lizzy was also smart enough to know V was using her to murder the entire prom, so I think she is also smart enough to know what her "best friend" can do. Can't trust your bestie, so can't trust anyone. 3. Opening up to Uzi can backfire because she is siding with the murder drones. This theory is flawed because Uzi seems like someone who will return the favor and open up back. N and V also had some development so they might keep their cool and won't mess with Doll. Maybe it's N and V she doesn't trust so she can't stay around? Uzi didn't really try to talk to Doll on the matter either so why should Doll? Too many questions following this theory for me. I think killing innocent workers in the prom was because of the heat of the moment and them getting in the way. Doll, again, also doesn't care about them. Adrenaline and Lizzy's backstabbing getting into her head if you will. This is however the only thing I can say in Doll's defense about it , because it is messed up and I see no other excuse just like you...

[@Jonathan83X]

I agree Doll wasn't a wasted character. With that said however, her death was a complete waste because her whole story arc was for nothing. Nothing she did had any payoff to it whatsoever. What was the point of her seeking answers in the Cabin Fever Labs if she wasn't going to get them in the end? Wasn't that the whole point of her arc as a villain? Worse yet, she couldn't even get one final battle to the death with N, Uzi and the others as a way to have her story end with a bang. Instead, it ended with a whimper. While I'm not going to say the way she died at the hands of Cyn was bad because it was poetic irony considering how she killed her classmates, it was just pathetic how the show killed her off. I seriously want to know what Liam Vickers was thinking here. To put all this buildup in her and then have it end so abruptly is just inexcusable. Doll deserved one final hurrah before biting the bullet and this is coming from someone who hated her.

Doll was such a great character. My fav. Looking her in this state got me in tears. Like I don't understand why people don't understand her. She lost her parents in front of her eyes, Doll doesn't even have a good friend. They think Doll has no feelings like bro at the end Doll is trying to save Uzi she feels bad for her, She is broken after her parents death. And Also fact that Tessa tried to shoot her in ep 5 after Forehead after making a deal made her trust no one. And I don't even think her intentions were to kill them in ep 6 she wanted to slow them down. And about her killing V, I don't think Doll wants revenge anymore I think she wants to save Uzi as well as she gave a sad look to Uzi before leaving. They could have given her a less painful death bro 😭😭 Her character is left incomplete bruh. She Doesnt know she killed V, She couldn't fulfil her promise to save Uzi. Rather she got her chest ripped and Core eaten. Really felt like Glitch/Liam said : F It this character is complex just end it.

[@blanterdang6112]

Doll is definitely a deep character and the thing is while lizzy is a terrible person, she was still loyal to doll mostly until ep 3. She was indeed gonna help uzi and shes the only character she feels some sort of sympathy towards strengthening the connection between their mothers. I didnt mention that because it wasnt important to the topic of people saying her death wasted her because it was about how she is uzis foil

[@ThelVadam7777]

Point is that Doll is what Uzi could have been if she pushed people away and didnt try and figure things out “together”

[@blanterdang6112]

Yup

[@ThelVadam7777]

@@blanterdang6112 cool 😎 I agree btw, i do think that her death could have been handled better, but not with the time alloted to the episode. Most of the shows issues could be resolved if they had more time. But that’s an issue not easily fixed as they are an indie company with limited budget and animators

Doll didn’t seem to be controlled by cyn, so she should have “some” of the patch from her mother, right? Or maybe I’m wrong.

[@blanterdang6112]

Maybe but she was also looking for the patch so cyn couldnt control her so idk

[@Murderdronesnerd]

I agree i feel people exaggerate her death like i know her death was a bit unnecessary but to the point calling her wasted? Doll is very interesting and deep character we even might know about her in episode 8 in a flashback scene also doll isn’t a villain but a fantastic antagonist who is actually pretty close to V by the way she pushes people off and hide everything which will make things worse she had known about the patch since the start and the solver but never said anything to uzi and she thought she would help her by not telling anything which is not true and uzi offered her to join her team to actually understand what’s going on to focus on their enemy but she refused why because she didn’t like idea of the murder drones and she thought it will be better off doing it alone therefore her character is not wasted. Also her whole arc actually had an impact like the entirety of episode 4 plot wouldn’t exist and many things in episode 6 wouldn’t happen without her like V’s death forcing the group to go down basically the start of episode 7 wouldn’t work the same way it’s that’s why her arc wasn’t wasted or had absolutely no impact Note: sorry for any grammatical errors or that you couldn’t understand my point. I hope you everyone who read this comment to have a wonderful day :D

Honestly I just think her arc was wasted, not the character. Though, taking your argument, while she did act as a perfect mirror to Uzi, Doll's arc basically ended up being useless: she went from trying to kill V, to then trying to find the Solver patch, fail then get perma-killed

[@blanterdang6112]

Yeah but the point was she got killed off because no one was there for her because of how she acted

[@Redder_Creeps]

@@blanterdang6112 Exactly. Now that I think about it, I do remember that in episode 3's ending, she said that she'd help Uzi if Doll found what she was looking for. At this point I think it's safe to assume Doll meant the patch, but taking that into account still goes nowhere, because the two could've easily teamed up since they both inherited the Solver. I mean, at least this is the only thing that doesn't sit right with me.

Doll Didn't really get a chance to trust anyone. 1st time she was close in trusting someone was Tessa In ep 5 but she tried to shoot her thus she didn't trust her. And she would have trusted Uzi but because of N and V she couldn't take risk of teaming with her parent's killers. Bruh glitch should have at least made her fulfill her character like helping Uzi get patched, getting revenge on V (yea V died because of her but it wasn't intentional by Doll. Also she Doesn't even know she killed V). Which may made her feel Useless at her death which is so tragic. Everyone said that she had no feelings killing Worker drone in starting of ep 3. No she Is smiling because that is bringing her more closer to kill the murderer of her parents. (If only Lizzy handled Doll properly I feel like she wouldn't have died right now. Like bro Lizzy Ditched Doll Because V Is hotter Like WTF. And also making fun of her dead parents in ep 2 like Doll Fr Deserved better)

[@blanterdang6112]

No yeah lizzys terrible lol. Also i feel obligated to bring up the fact that V probably isnt dead. I do think they couldve gave her a happy ending, but the way they decided to write her it made sense what they did, she couldve still gone along with tessa, even if dhe did try to shoot her that was to test if she actually had the solver. She was also very mysterious in not telling uzi what she was doing in episode 5. The thing is teaming with N and V is what saved Uzi multiple times, and what got doll killed in the end, i think thats the point of her character. Also yeah lizzys a terrible friend i love her so much shes hilarious

[@TheRealLifeStealer]

@@blanterdang6112 haha I love Lizzy too. But To be honest If they bring back V that Will brutally destroy Doll's character its because 1st of all i dont think there is anyone there to help V since J is doing her thing Tessa was with Uzi and group and im not sure if she can survive 3 sentinals. And all doll wanted at 1st was V dying so i dont really thing they are gonna revive V if they really care about Doll. Meaning if they bring back V then Doll's character would be worthless. If they want to bring back V they should bring back Doll which is possible since they can inject a new core on her body as we saw Alice had stored them

​@@blanterdang6112 True however I really wanted them to try to support Doll because indeed she's had more pain than Uzi she lost both her parents but Uzi's both are Alive since nori is also a core right now. By the way this might not make sense to you but the only one who could save V is Doll herself because even 1 sentinel was too much and now 3 of them are about to eat her. There is nobody else to save her there. Doll Does care for Uzi and behind the scenes she might have Saved V just so that Uzi Doesn't feel bad because Doll's intention was not to kill them in ep 6 but to slow them down. (I know this has like 0.001% chance of happening but it would Change everything) I honestly think If Doll wanted V dead she could have killed her in ep 5 but she Didnt. She also trusted J taking in fact that Doll hated Murder Drones. She Probably is realizing that killing them wont do nothing and V is a nice person who was programmed to kill them. But the fact that they killed a character who was finally realizing whats good and whats bad is so tragic.

[@blanterdang6112]

@@TheRealLifeStealer yeah i do think shes moved past the whole murder thing. That being said another way to put it is what uzi does being this thing called forgiveness. She forgives N and V despite them killing her mom. She forgives N despite him knowing about Tessas plan. She forgives V for all the terrible things she did. She forgave her dad for being terrible. Doll didnt forgive lizzy for wanting V to live, she didnt forgive tessa for the shot, once it was done she just pushed them away and didnt bother to try forgiveness
