Does Sister Wives star Kody Brown feel like Jason Bourne? Kody’s lost his sense of self and wants to disappear. He’s surrounded by intrigue.
In Sister Wives season 18, Kody Brown is falling apart (he claims he doesn’t know who he is anymore) and wishes to vanish. He sounds like Jason Bourne, who was hauled out of the Mediterranean Sea in the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. Jason had psychogenic amnesia when he was freed. He had no idea who he was and had to avoid unknown opponents as he went on a journey of self-discovery. Kody is bewildered by the changes in his life and wishes he could disappear. However, he is more famous than ever because to the drama that favored Robyn Brown generated.
Sister Wives season 18’s been a wild ride so far. Like most rides, it started a little slow, but quickly became exciting. Right now, on the show, the stakes are sky-high. Kody, whose identity was founded on being the poster boy for polygamy, is dealing with failure. Christine Brown left, puncturing his curated persona. In life, everyone’s going to fail sometimes, but Kody doesn’t seem to understand that. Also, he can’t seem to acknowledge his own shortcomings. Jason, unable to remember much of anything, went into autopilot mode in order to survive. Kody’s now phoning it in with his remaining wives. That approach is ineffective so far.
Christine Brown’s Departure Made Kody Want To Go Underground
He feels hurt by Christine’s leaving, even though he does not appear to love her. He also has a feud with Janelle Brown. Kody is extremely worried, seeing adversaries everywhere, and hoping he could flee the chaos. Kody, the father of 18, may, like Jason, find privacy elusive.
Kody cannot use visceral physical fights to relieve stress and defeat his opponents. He can’t chuck someone out the window of a stylish European residence. The strain is rising, and his sole outlet is to vent on his “bros” or to make horrible crêpes. His dishes include a nauseating combination of ingredients such as cheese, cherries, and “weird” aioli.
Although CIA operatives aren’t on his tail, Kody’s questioning the motives of everyone around him, including “Teflon Queen” Janelle. Yes, he actually called her that. While Jason’s paranoia was wholly justified, Kody’s imagination may be in overdrive. He could be seeing plots against him that don’t even exist. Janelle’s been his BFF for years. If she’s got a problem with him, maybe there’s a good reason why.
Rather than embrace painful self-awareness, Kody chooses to play Jason’s persecuted role. In the Bourne franchise, Jason was almost always alone as he tried to piece the puzzle together. When he found someone who cared (and wanted to help him), he lost her. His romance was doomed to end. Jason’s true love Marie Helena Kreutz rests in a watery grave, but Robyn’s still alive. However, she’s getting annoyed, and if Robyn leaves Kody too, his great love may also perish.
Is Kody In A “Fight Or Flight” State Of Mind?
Love isn’t more precious because it’s gone. Kody must protect what he has now, rather than missing it in the future. Love that’s real, rather than a treasured memory, deserves respect. Maintaining that kind of bond’s always a battle, and since Kody’s in Jason’s “fight or flight” state of mind, he doesn’t seem soft and sensitive enough to keep his marriage with Sister Wives’ Robyn Brown alive. Janelle’s also reacting to Kody’s defensive vibe, and not in a good way. He might as well be wearing full tactical gear because he’s just a bit threatening right now. He has an attitude. Luckily, his words are his only weapons.
Sure, his exes aren’t angels, and Robyn’s the queen of passive-aggressive troublemaking. Nonetheless, he’s changed so much that his wives aren’t sure who he is either. While he’s not toting a red bag from a Swiss bank, which is filled with guns, passports and cold hard cash, he’s still a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Also, as another spy film legend, Austin Powers, memorably said, Kody needs to, “double-oh behave.”
What If Kody Stopped Acting Like Jason Bourne?
While Kody is not the strong silent kind like Jason, he is erecting barriers, just as Jason had to. Jason put himself (and others) at danger by being willing to be vulnerable. Giving out too much information in the spycraft game is just not wise, and ties that bind, such as love relationships, can be exploited as leverage. Kody is currently on edge and unable to trust. While he will strike out when pushed and reveal some of his inner thoughts, some of his musings on women and polygamy appear to be a staged public relations stunt. He seemed to be concealing a lot of his true feelings.
He did come clean when he said that he felt “relief” when a wife left, as things had just been so miserable. That’s the kind of honesty that the popular series needs. For years, everyone’s been pretending. There’s been so much subterfuge. Kody was basically monogamous, while going through the motions of being a polygamist. Everyone could see that it was a sham. More truthfulness won’t go amiss as he navigates Sister Wives season 18. He needs to get real about what he’s done wrong, rather than putting it all on the women. However, he probably won’t have the courage.
