We are in the THICK of it this season and things are not letting up (WE LOVE IT THOUGH)! Per usual, we have opposing views on Elena sending Jeremy to Denver. We know her heart was in the right place, but was it her call?

Elena has a similar protective streak as Klaus, it's I will force you to do something you don't want to protect you.

MEA

I think it was ok only because he is underage and Ric who was acting as his guardian was supportive. That said I can see arguments for both sides.

Bura

I can understand being fundamentally against it, but I also understand wanting your only living family member to live! I’m torn honestly

ashley kuate

The poll has to be rigged! Cause majority of the people in the comments was agreeing what Elena did🤣😭😭

pup_ji43

I really hated it when elena did that. The first time I could see past it cause Jeremy was really suffering then but the second time is just too much and too controlling. Jeremy is more than old enough to make his own choices and since elena doesn't want to move, jeremy is well in his right to decide whether he wants to leave without her or stay

KP

Yes he’s annoying lol

Ashley Cruz

It’s like a yea & no , cause everyone is so big on choices being taken away so in that case yes she’s wrong but no because she’s trying to protect him , Jeremy likes to be very hands on with things & ever since he’s gotten his ring it’s been like he’s even more hands on cause he knows he can die & come back to life , so to keep him safe especially at a time where both klaus & Stefan are escalating things it was the right call

Kim Cottingham

I get it. Yeah it might be wrong but if it was my baby brother I'd probably do it too

TR

at the end of the day he's a child, let him do normal things without having to fight for/risk his life every day for once

Lace King

They all kids lol if anything they shoulda sent Matt useless ass away

Lace King

Nah it just takes more effort to type out a reason when the answer is obvious Y’all tryna make yall case for why she isn’t a hypocritical terrible sister

KJiggidy

My thing is, nobody should force someone to do anything. Yes, I get Elena was trying to give her brother a better life, but taking his choice away and not even letting him decide what he wants to do is just wild and unnecessary. At the end of the day, Jeremy is just as a part of the whole supernatural world as Matt. He needs to make that decision, and based on him killing that hybrid, he wasn’t gonna go anywhere.

I can understand Elena’s POV even if I don’t necessarily agree with it. Elena sees herself not just as Jeremy’s older sister, but as basically his guardian as well. She wants to protect him. That said, she’s only a year older than him, maybe 2 at most. It’s not like he isn’t old enough to make his own decisions. I think it was both selfish and selfless on her part - selfish because she’s taking away Jeremy’s choice because she thinks she knows better, and selfless because she wants better for him. Do I understand why she did it? Yes. Do I agree with it? No, because at the end of the day she isn’t his parent or his guardian, and he isn’t a child anymore. It’s not like he’s 10 years old, he’s old enough to make his own decisions.

ashley kuate

“Terrible sister” but u seen how she acted in s4 about Jeremy . Why do yall keep up with this terrible sister shit when it proves she don’t play about Jeremy.

Luis Mondragon

I think both options can be true, she needed to do what she needed to do as an older sister but it was still wrong.

Sophia

I definitely think using mind control on anyone is not great but in this case, its very understandable. Her intentions are good, she didn’t do it out of malice or carelessness, it’s an impossible choice to make and she did what she thought was right, it’s hard to be mad at her for that.

Ha'ane Rose 🦋

I definitely understand why Elena wanted it done and why Alaric and Damon would go along with it. Because yes, Jeremy is a kid and it isn't fair to him that he has to put up with all these traumatic crazy things instead of getting to grow up like a normal teenager. However... 1) They literally live in Mystic Falls where the Founding Families KNOW about vampires and some of them (including their own parents) had back up plans and weapons "in case" anything ever popped off. So it wasn't like living there unaware of the supernatural made him more safe than those who knew.. like Jenna 2) After Jeremy found out they compelled him the first time, he was so upset and told them to never do it again... just for them to turn around and do it again lol And I get it, she wants to be the responsible older sister and keep him "safe" but it really doesn't and she's not respecting a boundary he already previously made clear. Plus sending him away to the other side of the country only makes it harder if they ever need to get to him quickly or even if there's an emergency for something that's non-supernatural.

Dwayne Townsend

Jerm gotta go man … too much going on .. he just need to chilll for a bit .. prepare for the next threat 😂

Tjbosslyfe

Once Klaus has his sights on your brother . He pretty much done for . If he stay Klaus definitely going after him . The fact Jeremy was emotionally freaking out . He needed the mental health break .

RamonMDF

Last episode was one of those where the cracks starts to show in terms of plot and writing ..more than usual. They (showrunners)should have ended the show on 2x21 and leave it open ended and go into the originals for 2-3 seasons.

Shon

My main grievance with her sending him away is that: 1.) she took away his free will to choose 2.) and Why can’t they all leave together?? (like be fr people move for way less like getting a new job lmao) 3.) she’s what like 2 years older than him?? Acting like she knows whats best and being hypocritical Cmon😭

Jack Mingle

The nuanced response I was looking for.

Jack Mingle

We'll just have to see won't we? Both characters can be right in their actions, to what end?

Matt

Haha. Even though I disagree with her choice I will say Elena is a good sister. But remember season 1 episode 1 Elena starts the show at 17 years old. So Jeremey being too young to have free will because he’s 16 idk about that.

Tae2funny

I understand both sides but at same time Elena and Jeremy both that far apart they like a year and half apart but I understand Elena as well she wants her brother safe because she brought the supernatural in his life she owes him that

cydnei🎀

it was so wrong, i get wanting to protect your brother but if someone compelled elena to do the same she would be upset. you can't take away someone's choices like that

cydnei🎀

i just don't get elena emphasizing on jer just being a kid like girl so are u and caroline and bonnie😭 yall are all minors going through these traumatic experiences so idk why they choose to just send jer away as if hes the only one affected

Robert

She did the right thing for the long run but yeah i don’t agree with taking away someone’s choices maybe talk to him about leaving first and see if he willingly will, it’s really 50/50 on if it’s right or wrong.

KadeTheGreat

Jer was ready to fight screw all that kid shit when vampires are in the mix noones safe. Let that kid fight!

Replay🍁

Right idea but the wrong way to go about it.

Freya

I don’t see anyone bringing up the fact that they lost all their parents and Elena is the oldest so therefore she technically is in charge of Jeremy. Imagine how Elena feels being only 18 years old and pretty much being in a motherly role at that age. She’s already lost so many people and klaus’s threats are very serious so that puts her in a really tough decision but ultimately she’s probably thinking about what her parents would want and she knows they’d want Jeremy to be safe. It’s sucky the way she did it but I can 100% understand why.

Lace King

Nobody “plays” about their siblings in this show But she sent him away only for ____ to be right there waiting for Wolfe to snap his fingers like sending him away does anything meaningful He has a ring Elena is learning how to fight why not just train up Jeremy? Again Matt is the only one that shoulda been sent away

Vigorous Strongs

If Elena is so worried about Jeremy's life, why don't she moves to Denver first, away from family and friends, and then give us a feedback of how it is. No offense to Elena fans, but she is a snobby brat who whines too much for a body/mind that small. If she had Jeremy's mind wiped cleaned twice, she's suffering too, why not have her own mind wiped clean to get rid of her own misery she creates herself. if you truly love someone, you give them room to breathe and not ship them somewhere you wouldn't go. But then, Jeremy is not her actual brother. So her love and caring is FAKE. Just saying... My opinion.

ashley kuate

“She whine to much” but she’s a teenager . Sometimes I think y’all don’t what teenagers go through like she lost almost her family. if you not in her shoes I suggest you to🤫

Bruce Ray

nope. you'll see why soon...

Vigorous Strongs

I understand, because I recently lost my mom. But, I don't whine and I sure don't send my siblings who I claim to love anywhere where I wouldn't go myself. I give them their own freewill in life even if they might be in danger. I simply warn them and tell them the whole truth for their knowledge and protection and they make their own decisions for themselves. You don't protect them by hiding the truth selfishly, you expose it in raw. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32 KJV. Tell me, how come she wants and can know the truth of what's happening in Mystic Falls and Jeremy can't because and I quote "I love him and I don't want anything bad happening to him" end quote? She's the one who needs to run and hide, not him.

Aarron Denton

It was horrible of her. She gets him involved in all this danger in the first place and her solution is to mind control him to leave his town and 2”what little family he has left. Fucked up.

Aarron Denton

Except she’s never been a mother role. Jenna took that on and then when she died Alaric became kind of a father/uncle but Elena was always busy with her own stuff she only seemed to care what Jeremy was doing if he was smoking weed 😂

Mnewmoon

For people who say why didn’t they all move to Denver and get out of Mystic Falls. One thing You should know is that Elena started to develop survival guilt following the events of her parents’s death and after the revelation that she was a doppelgänger, that made her survival guilt even worse and made her believe that every bad things that has ever happened to her loved ones is her fault, she believes just because she was born as a doppelgänger, she already ensured her loved ones demise so she consider herself the “threat” that put everyone around her in danger so she believes the only way to protect them is to keep them away from herself as much as possible. This is her mindset “I’m the doppelgänger so I’m already doomed but I’m not letting my loved ones fall with me” so she would never move to Denver with Jeremy when she literally consider herself the danger itself that her loved ones need protection from. It’s not like that Elena doesn’t believe that Jeremy is capable of making his own decisions, it’s about that she knows Jeremy would absolutely do anything for her and she doesn’t want him to die BECAUSE of her. Jeremy already suggested the idea to get out of this town so the only reason Jeremy wouldn’t go through with this decision was because he wouldn’t leave Elena to fight alone for herself so by compelling him, she basically removed herself as an obstacle In Jeremy’s final decision to leave. This is why I don’t consider this taking away Jeremy’s choices, this was his idea in the first place. Another thing that we have to consider is that Jeremy was not stupid, he realised what was gonna happen the moment Damon said “we need to have a little talk” but he didn’t object it at all. He could’ve been like “No please don’t do it” but he went along with it. He totally was on board like deep down he wanted this to happen. Again for people who say that Elena is only 2 years older than Jeremy so she’s not that much older to be a parental figure for Jeremy but you should know this is exactly the psychology of all the older siblings that lost their parents at young age. After the loss of their parents, The older siblings would immediately find themselves responsible for their younger siblings believing that the whole responsibility of the household now fall on their shoulders so in this case Elena doesn’t care that she’s only 2 years older than Jeremy, in her mind she’s the only adult figure in her family so it’s her duty to protect her younger siblings and take care of him and do what ever it is necessary to ensure his safety.

ashley kuate

I don't like how yall compare traumas elena didn't just loose her mom she lost everyone just because you grieving this way doesn't mean she is people take stuff differently. PEOPLE that call elena a crybaby when she has no family is either insensitive or have something against complex characters

ashley kuate

elena is not a minor shes 18!!!

Serori

I think it was the right choice and call similar to when Tyler knocked Caroline out none of them will leave well enough alone and she’s right to the point of it’s not fair to Jeremy having to go through all of this because choices she has made Jeremy literally got killed by Damon who didn’t know he had his ring on and almost died after being compelled to walk in front of a car is life is constantly at danger so I agree with her call

Freya

Except she is…she’s always looked after and protected Jeremy despite dealing with her own stuff. I’m not literally saying she’s a mother but she is technically his guardian now that she’s 18. Idc how you feel about Elena and her decision but that’s objectively true🤷🏽‍♀️
