"The war crimes are fake, the charisma is real." Something along those lines is my favorite explanation of why characters who do bad things are often viewed favorably. Or it was a thing about annoying characters vs war criminals, "The war crimes are fake but the annoyance is real."

"You are a broken person. Who had ill intentions, and wandered aimlessly along a path you had no idea how to complete. And yet at some point you found a heart. You sound like *all* of us. Welcome to the Mighty Nein!" And this was the moment my heart broke into a million pieces. I think when I first saw this episode and that part came up, I had to pause it, and just sob for awhile.

@paawan3764 to be fair, the M9 wasn't exactly super moral either lol. More so than Essek? Yeah. But they did some fucked up stuff across the campaign haha. I personally really enjoyed how they handled it and felt it fitting, but you're more than entitled to your feelings too!

@paawan3764 6 ай бұрын

@@kairoikki6981 Oh definitely. They were the most fucked up party of all three campaigns but Essek knowingly orchestrated a war that caused the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians. In my book, there's no redeeming that but I understand why M9 did what they did while dealing with him. Personal feelings were involved and that always mucks things up (in the best possible way).

I think of Essek and Caleb in the lines of a quote from a comic artist I used to follow (she has since stopped doing comics and chose to fully embrace christianity and whatever that means to her): "Those who think themselves beyond redemption are those who have never met their forgiver." Caleb is Esseks forgiver.

@shadowpsykie Жыл бұрын

While I admit it was a very dramatic moment, Caeleb’s “venom in your veins” comment always felt off because Essek didn’t hate anything. He was indifferent. Honestly neither was Ikithon. Neither “hated” anyone. Neither cared for anything other than the expansion of their minds. Though I admit Ikithion had more grandiose goals. But there was no prejudice or hate.

@sugar-high_kitsune Жыл бұрын

I agree with neither really *hating* and that in the case of Essek the line doesn't work. Just a brilliant man being stifled by the religious practices of his country who made choices he knew would indirectly lead to countless deaths. He had no cruel intent. But, Trent? Horrifically cruel. He'll torture empire citizens for the sake of training, and sentence others to death for those same reasons. Creating the 'perfect weapons' for the empire to wield. Much more willing to actively hurt people, his *own* people, for the sake of progress. That, combined with an inability to empathise? If the venom in question isn't hatred but unchecked and *empowered* cruelty? He *definitely* has venom in his veins.

@skyeoleary1935 8 ай бұрын

I think that line refers to 1. how caleb views himself/ has learnt to view himself and 2. is telling essek that while he made bad/evil decisions that had disasterous consequences, bad actions don't make you a bad person. He is not inherently evil/bad bc of what he's done

@LazyTitan72 6 ай бұрын

Thats very untrue. Essek has a TON of hatred. Specifically toward the beacons and the dynasty's obsession with tradition. He committed war crimes and killed countless people to set his own country back by centuries just for scientific/arcane progress. He has much venom in his veins.
