...so the (racist af) Tsukimichi series/manga/webnovel has this Demon race, right? Whole isekai happens because they instigate a war against the h(y)umans outta nowhere and the Goddess needs a hero.

spoiler
Well~ turns out these mofos had it comin'... and so does the Goddess. 🤷🏿‍♂️

it only sorta works for this post since the main character is quite indifferent to the ~~conflict~~ war for quite awhile
interestingly, the story primes you up for that reveal with a precursor villain of sorts

spoiler
Lime and his cohort are quite villainous until you learn what brought that fate upon the Rembrandt family 😐

In a sense, Bleach - twice!

spoilerSousuke Aizen used deplorable methods in his attempt to achieve godhood and conquer the "empty throne of god", but was ultimately justified when the forces of Yhwach, the legitimate son of God decided to invade and lay waste to the Soul Society. Subverted yet again when it is revealed that the current "Soul King" (the lynchpin that hold reality together and the pretend-ruler of the world) is in fact an empty husk of the original God, who was assassinated by the Shinigami because they feared his powers, and Yhwach's bloody conquest was in fact an attempt at revenge. Some of his final words before dying are "I will create a world without the fear of death".

I kinda think this about the Separatists in Star Wars...Dooku aside...

[-] JowlesMcGee@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

I'll never stop complaining that in the second movie Dooku tells Obi-Wan that the Separatists are the good guys and that there's a sith influencing the Senate. Which would have been a cool reveal for the audience, that we're rooting for the bad guys.

But then Dooku is also a sith anyway. What a wasted opportunity.

something something "From my perspective the Jedi are evil."
something something "You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not destroy it."

Terminator. Arnold was reprogrammed.

The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

...by killing millions. Let's not forget that part.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

The trolly problem. I guess saving billions is better than a million, unless you and loved ones are in the million.

The Quarians vs the Geth...the Quarians did the Geth dirty

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It’s important to remember that the Quarians are living in the shadow of a war and exodus they didn’t personally start and have had generations telling them a story of survival and heroism against an unstoppable machine juggernaut. That’s what makes their decision to cooperate all the more powerful. They’ve spent their whole lives trying to plant a tree whose shade they’ll never sit in that they always feel is at risk of being cut down again.

It’s also understandable when a significant portion of the geth just tried to kill everybody a few years prior and was abducting humans to impale on spikes that turn them into machines-monsters.

still ain't finished it after all these years 'cause of how hard some levels are (and i don't wanna use a video every damn time)

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

If it’s the purple/shadow puzzle world just look them up. Those get wonky and the game has so few it’s not like you’ll be watching a hundred YouTube videos
