I feel like a lot of people take what allied characters say about Landbreakers way too much at face value. If people go back and look at early arknights Reunion is also portrayed as comically evil until like, chapter 4. The anime actually improved that by making Skullshatterer sympathetic. In the game he was a raving zealot who we are later told by other characters had likeable traits.
Wulfgard is significantly more nuanced in his opinions on Landbreakers than say, Chen, is. And he is also quite biased here since Bonekrushers are ancestral enemies of the Pack.
I do think it is a mistake that Nefarith seems to just be an evil manipulator, but the things she says to convince the Landbreakers to fight for her seem a bit too pointed in their critiscism for me to think we are meant to just see the Landbreakers as evil bandits.
I also don't think Endfield will be completely in the right, there is way too much ominous things about them compared to Rhodes Island. I think of that early conversation where Chen asks Perlica what comes AFTER they expand. And Perlica is just confused before Chen clarifies
"Yeah like, homes or towns or what?"
And Perlica is just like "that... would be lovely. I did not think that far." Before talking about how it is to fulfill a wish, Chen says "if it is a wish from Perly it must be a very selfless and compassionate one" before Perlica clarifies it is not her wish, but one passed on to her.
What I am hoping they are doing with Perlica, since she has so many apparent similarities with Amiya, is that they are exploring how someone becoming completely focused on fulfilling a dream passed on to them can be a very destructive thing if the person who did so had worse intentions than what Theresa did.
Since pre amnesia Endmin seems pretty sus what with all the originium stuff. Also Perlica talks about "reboot of life" which sounds a LOT like the reset in Ex Astris, which was not really portrayed as a good thing. The happier ending involves Yan destroying the mechanism by which the reset happens.
