Ana Lucia, the most overhated character. Why you should change your mind about her: a thread
This thread contains my personal opinion and a bit of my story with Ana, I never liked her, I thought she was mean and I used to blame her for Shannon's death, but it all changed this year on my rewatch and with the comments from some people and made me change my mind about her.
Starting with the basics, Ana Lucia Cortez was an ex-police officer who was on the tail section of the plane.
Ana Lucia became the defacto leader of the tail section, the first thing she did after waking up from the crash was do CPR on a kid, then helped everyone she could, even Bernard who was on the top of a tree.
Before the Island, she'd suffered a shooting that killed her unborn child. That left her trauma. She suffered from PTSD from this event
The same pain Ana Lucia felt when she lost her unborn child was when the kids got stolen from her hand, she felt useless, she needed to step up and do something to make things better and keep the rest of her people safe
Now for the thing everyone hates her the most: Killing Shannon. Cindy, one of Ana Lucia's closest friends in the island had just gone missing, she heard exactly the same noises as when her friend got taken away, she pulled the trigger, Shannon was there, it was heartbreaking.
But even Sayid who watched his soulmate die on his arms forgave her because he knew Ana wanted to kill someone else, an other, a person who wanted to hurt her and her people or take them away. She didn't know who it was. It was an accident.
After that Ana did everything she could to help the rest of the survivors, she tracked down Henry Gale's balloon, she helped jack form an army, etc.
Ana Lucia wasn't mean or tough she was strong and she had to wait 40 days to cry, because she didn't want her people to see her do it, because she thought she had to be strong for them. A true leader, who stepped up when people needed her. And the only female leader lost gave us!
I hope this thread made you Change your mind about Ana!! Thank you @MRodOfficial for giving us such an amazing character!!!
