Purple is kinda overrated - an analysis/rant(?)
I was thinking about it a long time, and this post contains my thoughts over my whole existence in the fandom. If you don't agree on what i say - it's okay. Everyone has the right to express what they believe, if it's not harming anyone (and I'm obviously not doing it). I'd like to hear what the others think, so feel free to comment or smth.
----------------------------------------------------
I just can't stand people endlessly defending him, like he did nothing wrong. I don't suggest, that he can't be redeemed, and what he was doing was pure evil, but come on. He almost killed two guys back in the episode 10, and for what? There is, like, a thousand different ways to impress your dad, without dragging other people into this. Or without hurting anyone.
Actually, if Purple's father disappeared, then...why is he trying to get him back? Maybe i misunderstood, but if the source of the most of my problems just went gone, i would not give a damn about it. Why is he doing this? It's like recovering from a disease, and once you're fully healed, you try to get sick again.
Okay, season one wasn't that bad, because he apologised and everyone lived happily ever after, but then we have season 3. And Purple returns, and does THE EXACT SAME THING. He never learned anything from that encounter. Better - he now tries to do something even worse.
"But he's under MT's command!" - he never was forced to do it, let's be honest. He agreed to do this.
Episode 25 is Purple finally getting some karma. He finally learned, that he's not doing anything good. He finally gets what he deserves.
And then the narrative undergoes an 180 in ep 29.
I don't want to hate on this episode, it has amazing visuals and music (which i consider one of the best out of the whole season 3), but i need to say one thing. After all this mess Purple did, his backstory looks like an excuse. An excuse to feel sorry for him. Yes, he regretted everything. Yes, he apologised. In a youtuber way. I felt like i was watching a got talent show. I really want to feel sorry. But i just can't.
It might be surprising after all the ranting, but i don't have any problems with Purple getting a happy ending. He's not irredeemable, and he already got his karma, so it's enough for me to not have any complaints.

Why is Purple overrated? Because people overly victimise him. They forget about all the evil stuff he did, or they excuse him. Let's remember, that he joined Mt and dragged Blue and Green into his plan all by himself. He could not do it, but he did (i already said, that it's kinda stupid but i won't repeat myself). He just could live his life after his dad left, just leaving the past behind.
And to settle thing up - i don't hate him. I think that Purple is pretty good in terms of character development and his story, but i consider some of his life choices stupid. That's all.
PS. Sorry for not posting, school for eight hours a day is sucking the inspiration out of me
