been thinking a lot about ben's wasted potential as a character lately
#i love him so much but nobody ever seems to know what to do with him
#they literally wrote him off bc he just wasn't working. but he could have!
#he was the first unabashedly working class main character! he had an interesting skillset and backstory that could have gone places!
#and they just didn't do anything with him
#and that's extended to most of what i've seen of the eu
#like he's never totally dead weight i'm always glad he's there. but he very rarely gets to be at the centre of the plot
#off the top of my head the only ones i can think of are like. the macra terror and the forsaken
#both of those stories do really interesting things with him and i wish more would follow suit!
#in particular i'm mad that elliot chapman was SO good at playing him in audio and they did NOTHING with him before he left the role
#i don't even think he ever got a dedicated companion chronicles story
#they had a chance to finally do him justice and thry fumbled it
#i respect his decision to not play him for longer than michael craze did
#(even tho i've heard speculation that his departure had more to do with the james dreyfus situation)
#but i wish bf had done more with him while they had him
#and it's always been odd to me that he and polly are tied so closely together but he gets a fraction of the attention she does
#even in mediums where there would be no need to recast him!
#don't get me wrong i love polly i just wish he got a slice of that pie
#i've slowly evolved from ''eh he's alright'' to the number one ben jackson defender SOMEBODY needs to show my boy some love
