One of the things that really shine out to me and strengthen my love for Sam as a whole is the fact that the brother I feel like he'd have the most disagreements and disdain with, is the brother he's the most protective of.
Damien and Sam, in my eyes, have very potent foils towards each other. Damien is naive and harbors very strong affection towards humans based off flawed ideals and self-hatred of his kind. Sam is realistic, a man who can't help but appreciate his demon roots and views most of humanity as cruel and ignorant.
However, while some older siblings seem to have resentment towards their younger siblings nativity and flawed optimism, this doesn't hinder Sam and his protective love over Damien.
I like that Sam's respect towards people is actually based off how they treat others. His obvious hate for his father, his dislike towards James ideology in Prince vs the Brute "Id rather see them as an equal than shove them on a pedestal" or how people think they are better based off faulty reasoning or their lifestyle/status/class.
Baby they could never make me hate you 🥺.
