Who Is The President At The End Of Great Pretender
Let's talk about Great Pretender. Awesome show, right?
But something's been bugging me. It's about that ending.
Specifically, who's really the president at the end? I have a theory.
Must Read
The Obvious Suspect: Dorothy
Okay, hear me out. Everyone thinks it's Dorothy. Makes sense on the surface.
She’s smart. She’s charismatic. She’s basically a criminal mastermind.
But... I'm not convinced. It feels too obvious.
Why Dorothy Doesn't Quite Fit
Think about Dorothy's motivations. She's not exactly power-hungry.
She's more interested in elaborate schemes and getting one over on people.
Does sitting in a stuffy office all day really sound like her thing? I think not.
My Wild Theory: Laurent Thierry
Now, for my unpopular opinion: It's Laurent Thierry. Yes, really!
I know, I know. He seems even less likely than Dorothy.
But consider this: He's the ultimate puppet master.
Laurent's Machiavellian Masterplan?
Laurent's always several steps ahead. He orchestrates everything from behind the scenes.
What if becoming president was just another elaborate con? A long-term game?
Maybe he installed Dorothy as a figurehead while he pulls the strings.
Think About the Implications
Imagine Laurent in the Oval Office. Pure chaos, right?
But also... kind of brilliant. He could manipulate global politics for fun and profit!
And let's be honest, he'd probably be a surprisingly effective leader. Albeit an unethical one.
The Evidence... or Lack Thereof
Admittedly, there's not much direct evidence. That's the point!
Laurent operates in the shadows. He's a master of deception.
We only see what he wants us to see.
He's Always Playing the Long Game
Remember all those elaborate cons? Each one was meticulously planned.
Becoming president would be his biggest con yet. The ultimate performance.
He'd probably enjoy the irony of being the most powerful person in the world while still being a con artist.
Why This Theory Works (For Me)
This theory just feels... right. It fits Laurent's character perfectly.
It's unexpected, audacious, and slightly insane.
And isn't that what Great Pretender is all about?
The Beauty of Ambiguity
Of course, the ending is deliberately ambiguous. We're never truly told.
But that's part of the fun. It allows us to speculate and create our own interpretations.
So, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is Dorothy. But I'm sticking with Laurent.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, who is president is less important than the journey.
Great Pretender is about the thrill of the con, the bonds of friendship, and the pursuit of the impossible.
So, whether it's Dorothy or Laurent, the game continues.
