This is for all you Faye Valentine lovers and Julia haters out there.
First off, know that I am one of you! But I realized that as much as we all want to see Spike and Faye get together, many of us are unfairly dissing poor Julia. I happened to stumble across a Cowboy Bebop fan fiction the other day and the author seemed extremely biased against Julia. She was said to have been cold, unfaithful and, pretty much evil. Well, I just wanted to get my observations out there and quite possibly set this author straight. According to the series, EVERYONE loved Julia! (except Jet and Ed, but only because they were the only ones who'd never met her.) Even Faye liked her! At least try to understand what Julia's gone through.
According to the "cold" accusation, it's true that she didn't smile too often, from what I understand. But would you smile if you were the girlfriend of an evil, psycho killer, red-eye addict syndicate leader? I know I wouldn't. Also, maybe she seemed colder because her eyes were blue. (Actually, were they even blue? I don't remember. They might have been brown or something.) Besides, all the people who knew Julia practically said that when she smiled, she would light up the whole room! That sounds pretty warm to me!
Now, as for the unfaithful part, just take a good look at Vicious. Note the description of him in the previous paragraph. Can you disagree? Sure, at the time, he had Spike as his right-hand man, but he probably treated Julia like crap. Spike picked up on that. And, particularly after she patched him up, he just couldn't help but fall in love with that smile. Not to mention, they probably did hang out a lot, both of them being so close to Vicious. Now consider this: If you were Julia, what would you do? You'd probably want a man who was sweet and kind and great in the sack (c'mon, you know he is! ^_~) instead of a mean, angry guy like Vicious. Keep in mind that Vicious is crazy, and there's no telling what he would have done if Julia had decided to break it off with him. I believe you know the answer to the question, ladies and gentlemen!
Too bad Vicious had to find out...
Now to face the evil. Yes, when Julia and Spike finally met up at the end of the series, she did have intentions to kill him. But why? Because of VICIOUS! Vicious threatened to kill her if she didn't kill Spike. But she still didn't do it. She didn't want to. She couldn't. She loved him. Does that sound evil to you? Unfortunately, Vicious was all over it, and he carried out his promise. Poor Julia, gunned down by a Red Dragon assassin.
Of course, ultimately, it was Spike's stubbornness that got her killed if you think about it. Julia was all like "Oh Spike, let's just run away together!"
But Spike's all like "No!... Must... kill... Vicious...!"
Lunkhead.
Anywho, my point is, Julia was alright in my book. Just wanted to share my little bit of input.
R.I.P. Julia. We love you!
We just love Faye more. ^_~
