Why Paradise Season 2’s New Character Doesn’t Go To The Bunker Defined By Star

Warning: There are spoilers forward for Paradise season 2, episodes 1-3.Shailene Woodley clarifies why her Paradise character, Annie, turns down the chance to go to the Colorado bunker.

Though Woodley is a newcomer to the Paradise forged, Annie is the first focus of the primary installment in season 2’s three-episode premiere. After surviving the worldwide apocalyptic catastrophe and dwelling for 689 days inside Elvis Presley’s well-known property, Graceland, she encounters Hyperlink (Thomas Doherty) and his group of survivors. She varieties a romantic bond with Hyperlink, however when he encourages her to affix him on his journey west to the bunker in Colorado, she in the end refuses to go.

In an interview with Deadline, Woodley was requested about Annie’s thought course of and what stops her from going with Hyperlink. Whereas the real-life Woodley says she would’ve joined him, she explains that her character is afraid of dropping the management she has had since her mom handed away. The Divergent actor clarifies that afterward, Annie regrets the selection she made. Try Woodley’s feedback beneath:

It’s complicated to me, as a result of I’m like, “B****, why aren’t you going with him?” Like, “Get on that prepare!” I feel that Annie has been so in command of her life since her mother handed away, she has been in command of her survival, she has been in command of each side of it. And up till the second that her mother handed, she felt very uncontrolled, like every thing that was taking place to her, and she or he couldn’t do something to cease it. And I feel she internalized that as one thing being flawed with herself.

And I feel when Hyperlink asks her to depart, it’s simpler for her to remain as a result of leaving would imply she’d be uncontrolled once more, and if something occurred to him or their relationship, she wouldn’t be in a state of management. And never being in management is a really, very, very scary, weak place to be, particularly for somebody like her, and I feel that’s why she selected to not go. It was simpler to remain comfy in a second than it was to threat the unknown. She does find yourself regretting it.

Season 2, episode 1 reveals that Annie misplaced her mom at a younger age, and afterward, whether or not it was changing into a tour information at Graceland or determining keep alive after the destruction of world civilization, she has been in command of her personal life. Surrendering that management and going west to a mysterious bunker that she has solely simply discovered about is understandably overwhelming for her. Nevertheless, circumstances have modified now that she is pregnant, and due to her encounter with Xavier Collins (Sterling Okay. Brown), she has somebody who can get her to Colorado so she will be able to reunite with the daddy of her little one.

Annie’s private journey is now caught up in a a lot bigger battle. Apart from the little data Hyperlink informed her about an underground metropolis that has the potential to restart civilization, she doesn’t know in regards to the location or its many secrets and techniques, not to mention the way it has modified since Paradise season 1’s ending and Xavier’s subsequent departure. The alternatives she now makes will have an effect on Xavier, his mission to seek out his spouse, Teri Rogers-Collins (Enuka Okuma), Hyperlink, these contained in the bunker, and presumably even the world itself.

As Paradise season 2 continues, Annie is poised to be a big wild card, and her worry of dropping management will now seemingly collide with the management that Xavier, Hyperlink, Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond (Julianne Nicholson), and different characters have been trying to regain. After studying extra and presumably reuniting with Hyperlink, she’s going to doubtless need to determine whether or not to assist or stand in the way in which of what he intends to do with the bunker and Sinatra’s secret know-how within it.
