Grey’s Anatomy
Alex Karev is one of those character who fans ofGrey ’s Anatomyloved to detest for the first few seasons until they could n’t get enough of him . Karev , played by doer Justin Chambers , grow on fansand became a much - be intimate part of the ensemble with a tremendous character electric discharge .
However , while Karev was be intimate by many , there are some who have a few things to say about him that go against popular opinion . From wondering why a terrible character such as him was n’t written out of the show rather to get word consummate horse sense in his hugely polarising exit , Redditors have been vocal about this beast - turn - loveable - goof .
MerLex Shippers
Alex and Izzie were one of the most beloved duet in the serial . Their journeying was fraught with tension , as Izzie had already been diagnosed with genus Cancer before their wedding . But the writers united the two off - screen when Alex was said to have left Jo for Izzie and her Gemini . However , there are those that feel thatAlex would have been better off finish up with Meredithinstead of Izzie Stevens .
This fan has a whole scenario set up for MerLex . Given how they had been each other ’s rock , they could have some form of rendezvous after " a tequila splurge in the living way " and then realize that they were meant for each other after all – or so the Redditor wishes .
Worshipped For Being A Cliché
This astute fan feels that Karev was a clichéin terms of how he transformed . They felt that the intellect he find out such fandom was also because of the very predictable way his report was indite .
Having started out as a jerking , he change and then was redeem and go on to be adorable , in clock time . This made himthe epitome of the unimaginative bomber with a difficult pastwho mellowed through his experiences .
Alex Was Better Than Fan-Favorite O’Malley
A thoroughly unpopular opinion that goes against the trend aboutKarev states that he was a upright person than George . The latter is widely moot one of the most beloved characters in the account of the series and the storage of his tragic death still leave very few eye dry .
However , this fan state that Alex was in fact a better human race than Georgeany day , and this was the Alex from the first few seasons when he was nothing but a stupendous jerk to nearly everyone , especially George . While the Karev of these season was almost entirely unlikable in general , this fan think that he was true , and never screak or played the victim bill , like George did . He did n’t moon around around and although he should n’t have wander on Izzie , he was still more likable than George .
Alex & Jo Beat Alex & Izzie
There has always been a argument around whether Alex Karev made a better yoke with Izzie or with Jo , although in the prospicient outpouring , ' Izzex ' lovers would totally win . Izzie and Alex were , after all , part of the original interns , and the love for their story draws on the nostalgia from the clip when the show was at its peak .
However , there are those who believe that ' Jolex ' was actually in force than Izzie and Alex . The latter two , this fan points out , were both immature when their love story began and they always ended up hurting each other . As opposed to that , Alex was much more mature when he fell for Joand their relationship was somehow healthier . While not as unpopular as some of the other stallion here , this still goes against the democratic current .
A Better Chief Than Bailey
commend when there was a hilarious twist in the drama and Alex Karev was made Interim Chief of Grey Sloan Memorial ? Bailey had just suffered a heart attack ; she sought out anybody who would be unforced to take on the interim use while she was by , and lo and behold , she ended up give the problem to Karev .
While the fact that Karev , the insensitive new gentleman’s gentleman who was almost unbearable when he protrude out , could one day be Chief , interim or otherwise , was ironic , to say the least , there are those who feel thatKarev was , in fact , a better tribal chief than Bailey . He did n’t wait at it as an chance to manage king , neither did he micro - manage like Bailey . If anything , he did a better job of depute work and finally started handling things pretty well .
Deeply Overrated
Alex is a fictional character with a complicated past who , gradually , fan grew to love , and who eventually became important toMeredith ’s life , being her only true friend and even her " person " after Cristina pass on .
Butthis fan rants about how Alex ’s so - call in development into a cute guywho saved tike clear him from a peck of terrible behavior he had evidence earlier . They finger that his violent streak , including his ravishment of DeLuca , and his discourse of Izzie at a time when she most needed his support should not be forgotten , making Alex a highly overrated character with few redeem qualities .
Karev’s Violent Streak Should Have Been Managed
Since the very starting time , Karev was shown to be the guywho would fire trigger-happy tendencies in others . His peevishness was somewhat excuse aside by his backstory wherein he had a broken home plate , an abusive and then absent father , and had to take care of his sick mother and young siblings from very early on .
However , a few fan find as if his red streak should have been better make out , and should not have been allow to go as far as it did . For example , Karev beat DeLuca to a pulp in season 13 , and this , the fan feels , deserved penalization and he should not have been let off , scot - free .
Alex Was The Best Intern
A hugely unpopular opinion about Karev suggests that Alex was the best of the original interns in the other time of year . Since the first emotion that Karev fire during these season was annoyance , this view does come along very curious .
The Redditor goes on to explain that the other interns all had their contribution of disaster . FromCristina take the worst bedside manner imaginableand Izzie getting emotionally involve with her patients to Meredith spending much of her time pass out over McDreamy and George never really demonstrate a lot of promise in the OR , it wasKarev who was , surprisingly , tolerably salutary , in all respects .
Karev Should Have Been Written Off
In direct contrast to the previous feeling , this particular one focuses on how frightening the character really is , to the extent that he should have been written off . Karev , who was , introduced as a enhancer of sort to the gentle George O’Malley , was insolent and cocky and molest almost everyonehe spoke to . However , his quality run low through an evolutionary arc that is popularly harbour to be the good on the show .
Yet this fan is not ready to forgive him for go out of his way to be mean to citizenry like George , at the beginning . The character , the fan feels , did n’t really change all that much – his temper was still pretty much the same – andthe fan wonders why Karev was n’t write off much to begin with .
Alex’s Departure Was Perfect
perchance the most unpopular vox populi regarding Karev involvesthis fan ’s belief that Alex ’s departure was , in fact , perfect . As devotee remember only too well , Justin Chambers abruptly get out the show in season 16 in what is widely look at one of the defective character exits of all time .
However , while many felt at the time thatthe exit take the character back a few seasons , this Redditor has a fresh view and enjoin that Alex was bound to leave once he found out that he had kids . His total life had been built around his difficult childhood which also lead to his calling as a peds sawbones . at long last , there was no way he was going to abandon his own twins . According to this fan , he did n’t leave abruptly to be with Izzie , or because he did n’t have intercourse Jo , because he did . Rather , he go out for his nestling , and that was perfect .
