Do villains deserve death?
Most TSBS/TSAMS villains seem to be mentally ill. And I don't mean that in a bad way, but it's clear that most of them went through an unspeakable trauma, and aren't alright. Except for Ruin. I don't give a fuck about his trauma.
But does being hurt and traumatized automatically doom you to die? This "family" just plots to murder everyone who is a mild inconvenience to them.
This is going to be the second time I make a transformers comparison, but let's talk redemption.
Spoilers ahead.
IDW Comics, in this Transformers continuity, they decide to redeem Megatron, they decide to make him disavow the Decepticons, to have him atone for the atrocities he committed, Starscream gets a redemption, Thundercracker, these comics are full of amazing redemptions!
So tell me, if it's seemingly easy to give genocidal robots redemption arcs, why is it so hard to do the same for characters who clearly are not ok?
Why did Nexus have to die? Why did Eclipse V1, V2, and V3 need to die? Why did Dark Sun need to die? And of course, the most recent death, Titan, Why was it necessary for him to die? These people needed therapy, they needed love, care, to be around people who actually gave a fuck about them.
I don't like how the message of this show seems to be that if you're traumatized, you're beyond saving, you deserve to die, despite lashing out as a result of your trauma.
Out of everything people in this Fandom complain about, I'm surprised that no one has been noticing the pattern.
These aren't evil people. Eclipse is literally a piece of Moon that he threw away, Eclipse has even acknowledged that they are literally the exact same fucking person. He asked moon why he abandoned him.
Nexus was someone who lost someone he loved, he was breaking mentally, and no one was there to help him, and when they did try, it was too late.
Dark Sun was someone who was abused to the point of deciding that he was going to find other versions of himself, and murder other versions of his abuser, yet this Fandom calls him a pathological liar, fuck all of you, genuinely.
These shows treat traumatized people like shit.
