Chicago Fire: Carver and Tori’s fiery dynamic must be extinguished

Sincerely, maybe Chicago Fire Please free us from the hell that is Carver and Tori’s toxic relationship?

This went on for quite some time.

We’re heading into the sixth episode of the season, and it’s going to be six episodes too many of Carver and his volatile, jealous, trouble-making girlfriend.

If we could fast-forward to the part where the two of them break up and dive into the song and dance of whether or not they, Carver and Violet, for whom it’s clearly meant to be conducive, that would be great.

They don’t even need to show us the breakup on screen.

Here’s the thing: I can’t even count this as a die-hard Carver and Violet shipper who desperately needs the two of them to get their shiitake mushrooms together and move with things.

Honestly, while I enjoy the idea of ​​the two of them together, I don’t need it to happen.

At this point, I could just as easily have turned my attention to Violet and Lizzy.

If anything, it shows that neither Carver nor Violet might be ready for a relationship right now, but that’s another conversation.

But given the plot, it’s obvious that their stories should be here.

And if I’m not advocating anything else as a viewer, it’s whatever makes logical sense or fits the storyline and the characters.

This is one of the many reasons why the Chicago Fire need to deal with Carver and Torey immediately.

Who does it serve?

Is there a single viewer rooting for this couple, remotely invested in Thor, or appreciating this obstacle in the way of Carver and Violet’s inevitable relationship?

I would be hard pressed to find one person.

In fact, if you’re out there and find this story remotely enjoyable or interesting, please, I beg you to hit the comments.

I would like to understand your point of view.

Even for people who don’t see Carver and Violet as a romantic couple, whatever happened to Carver and Tori is unbearable and horrifying.

One of the most intriguing Chicago Fire characters they’ve introduced in years isn’t running out of time because they’ve decided to spend our time exploring his character through these mediums.

Carver is such a fascinating character because of the way the series presented him.

He had a chip on his shoulder, a complicated story and a story of how experienced an injuryand it took him a while to settle down and find a real family at 51.

Carver’s relationship with Tori is a culmination of his internal struggle over his past.

Maybe he doesn’t feel he deserves good and healthy things.

Perhaps after what he thought was a rejection, he entered self-destruct modeeither he reflects the type of toxicity he grew up witnessing or he has fallen into old habits that we are unaware of.

I’m all for the idea that we have to put up with Toxic Tori for this arc to have a satisfying and emotional conclusion.

But even if that’s the case, why are they subjecting us to this unhealthy dynamic, which is frankly a poor embodiment of what has now become one of the most unsavory tropes of the toxic, jealous, “crazy” girl, to advance Carver’s storyline and delve into his problems?

Is anyone else concerned that Chicago Fire is leaning so hard on this one?

Tori feels like the antagonist of a 90s “historical” thriller, but less fun and entertaining.

If this arc leads to Tori going off the deep end, potentially harming herself, Carver, or Violet through possible mental health issues or whatever, I’m going to be incredibly disappointed in Chicago Fire.

It’s better than that; Carver as a character is better and so is the way to build the relationship between Carver and Violet.

If the Chicago Fire jump at the chance to explore Carver in more depth, I’m offended that they chose the least intriguing, most unoriginal, and downright problematic route to do so.

They didn’t have to resort to it.

Carver is a goldmine of potential storylines, and there are endless opportunities to delve into his story or learn more about his character.

Why do they subject us to this?

If the show was trying to be serious about actually exploring a toxic and abusive relationship (because that’s exactly what Tori and Carver are), then that’s fine.

But they basically emphasize it as if it is teenage love triangle from the 2000s, where the main goal is to bring Carver and Violet back together.

For it to work properly, it had to be two separate storylines.

Linking the toxicity of this Carver/Tori trash fire to the Carver/Violet pairing and thus reducing it to just a one-sided ship war where the goal is to finally bring Carver and Violet together feels cheap, irresponsible, and condescending.

The characters and the audience deserve better.

Regardless of their intentions, it’s safe to say that’s not what they want, and it’s time for the Chicago Fire to put out the steam and let Carver rise from the ashes.

Over to you, Chicago Fire Fanatics.
