Re: Unpopular fandom opinions

I actually agree that Foggy is dissing the ex in this scene. But "the ex" isn't Marci; it's Landman and Zack.

I definitely think Foggy is disappointed in Marci, but a.) he does say his line *to her face*, after her behavior is atrocious; it's not like he's busting on her to Karen behind her back. He's talking TO MARCI. (Karen just happens to be there.) and b) there's every indication that both dating and break-up were *before* she "lost her soul." (And this is apparently a while after that, and Foggy was not expecting that level of nastiness from her, so it isn't "the minute you dump him he starts getting rude in public.") Later Foggy's reconsidering his relationship with her, wondering (to Karen) if she had always been so awful and he'd caught wanting relationships with the wrong people from Matt, and you can object to that, if you want, but that doesn't seem to be what this scene is about.

Instead, this scene *is* all about Landman and Zack; its power, its practices, and the kind of person you have to be to be successful there. And Foggy is rejoicing in his "breakup" with it, that he got out of that toxic relationship. Seriously, if he can compare his partnership with Matt to a marriage, how is L&Z not "the ex"? He may have had a more comfortable life externally living there (bagels!), but he didn't like the kind of person he would have had to become. If you can think of a better reason to ditch a relationship instead of committing, please let me know.
