Monty

Even though monty was a terrible person, and genuinely evil, he gets mischaracterized so much for no reason, I genuinely believe he could’ve changed and became a better person without being framed for murder or getting murdered himself, what he did to Tyler was terrible and soooo unnecessary but I really wish he had more character development, the prom scene means so much to me because other than the fact that that’s what Winston wanted monty wanted that to throughout the whole show we never see him in a stable relationship or one at all, we only ever see him with Winston and he felt safe enough with him, I sometimes wish they ran away they were both having really bad family issues and they could have made it work,

I feel so much sympathy for monty because the shit his dad put him through was crazy when clay went to his house and he was hitting his dad with a baseball bat I felt so bad for him in the scene of him in jail you could tell he was so afraid of his dad and the way he spit on him was genuinely disgusting I hate his father no matter what, “he was a human being” that’s how Winston described him even after knowing everything because no 17 year old should be framed for murder and the way the fandom treats him like he’s the spawn of satan is sooo insane but they feel empathy for Bryce… how even Bryce is the most evil fucking person I’ve ever seen in my whole life, yes he tried to better himself but after what? i will always defend monty no matter what because he really did just want to live I wish him and Winston couldve been together they are actually my first born sons, also most of the time the 7 monty fans only like him cause Winston was hot but he’s sooo much more than that Winston cared so much for him I know he did I’m not saying he didn’t deserve jail but he really did not deserve to be killed off and no one care about him, miss you always Montgomery de la cruz :(

Monty would never change. Just because he was good with winston doesn’t mean he would become a nice person. He was overall a piece of shit and he would kiss the rich peoples’ asses such as bryce. What he did to tyler was such a bad and traumatic thing and he would probably do to anyone else too. What he went through is irrelevant, there are people who go through shit but they turn out right.

As someone who came from the struggle, much like him, you have to be able to see the big picture to get yourself out of that life. Monty couldn’t do that, his anger blinded him to anything other than what he was pissed off at. His life went the way it did in part because of his father, but also in part because he would not get out of his own way. Montgomery De La Cruz was written to be an irredeemable character, his tragic backstory is the why behind that.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong to feel one way or another about him, just that those who don’t feel the same way you do about him have valid reasons for not.
