    I’m also a little sad about it. I still think it is a “net positive”, and I try not let let “the perfect be the enemy of the good”. Yes, in a “perfect” world, he reformed, went into remission, and started working to remediate all the suffering and damage he had caused.

      It was a wild character arc. Paraphrasing heavily…

      90s “Corporations are stupid and abusive to employees”

      2001 “What if we’re all just fragments of God? Why do we fight each other?”

      2009 “Place bets on the people you hate most, they always seem to win.”

      2023 “Black Lives Matter is a racist hate group.”

      2025 “Trump will fix everything. Also please get me into a medical trial daddy.”

      I was really holding out for the redemption arc but alas.
