It's Chicago Fire Season 12, and Now Fans Hate How Actors... Walk?

Summary:

• Chicago Fire Season 12 said farewell to some of the most iconic characters.
• The show’s fans are busy noticing other things, though: in particular, they’re not quite content with the way characters… Walk.
• According to Chicago Fire fans, the weirdest walks belong to Casey, Stella, Chief Robinson, Boden, and Violet.

Over the past few seasons, Chicago Fire fans have been coming up with increasingly more complaints about the show. Some of them, like those about the reuse of old storylines, genuinely made sense; others, like those about the adoption arcs, didn’t. But now we definitely have a winner: the King of Fan Woes.

Have you ever noticed that Chicago Fire characters (and subsequently, actors) walk funny? Because they do walk funny. That’s the most recent fan complaint, no joke.

Can Chicago Fire Walk the Walk?

To save some time and energy, we’ll not try to explain what a “funny walk” means in this case ourselves. Fans will do it much better, anyway; here’s what they say.

“Next time you watch an episode, think about how a lot of them are walking when they are just walking ‘normal.’ Stella, Chief Robinson, Boden, Violet, and so on. Looks like a lot of them are trying to do some kind of pimp walk,” Reddit user joakimposener wrote on the Chicago Fire subreddit.

Other fans didn’t need any more enticing: they let their own walk complaints out. According to them, Matt Casey walks like he’s “concentrating so hard on his accent that he forgets how to walk like a normal person,” and Stella Kidd’s manner of traversing through Firehouse 51 is your typical “look at me, I'm a hard ass” walk.

Chicago Fire Weird-Walks into a Wall

Apart from the funny walks of the characters, Dick Wolf’s iconic firefighting show has far more pressing problems. In Season 12, we said our last farewell to two core members of the Firehouse 51 crew, Matt Casey (that weird-walking dude, you know) and Sylvie Brett — but there are still no valid replacements for them in the series.

Season 12 also treated fans to some of the most stale and years-in-reuse storylines: someone’s out to get Firehouse 51 again, believe it or not, and the audience isn’t happy. All in all, Chicago Fire’s current issues don’t end with the ways its characters move their legs — but hey, as long as we have Herrmann and Mouch, we’re good.
