im okay wth long flashback... but this is just... at least there are gatts in berserk and kuroko in knb super long flashbacks |
This flashback is both too long and too short; its like the uncanny valley of storytelling. Its too short to really get to know the characters well enough to care about them, thus making the arc boring, and the arc is too long because its boring and thus feels like it just drags on and on. This arc either needed to be of epic length so we could get proper characterization and development for the characters, or a lot shorter so that we could get the important info we need and get right back to the main story.
And y'know I thin someof these characters I actually like LESS now... Like Ugo. I liked him so much more back when he was just an overly muscular body sticking out of a flute. Don't care one wit about super genius, geeky ugo. I might have cared if the story took more time him , but the story just rushes along. And Solomon... eh, i feel like the arc added nothing to his character; kinda prefer him back when I knew nothing about him
Can only hope that its almost over

Um, no. David is a complete monster. His motives does not absolve him of anything and grant him non evil status. Really real world tryants and dicators could fit in the same category that you would place David; a lot of tyrants tormented their people and others because in some twisted way they thought it would make the world better. In the real world, many of those who engaged in outright genocide did not do it for ill-intent, but because they actually thought that THEY were the monsters and the world would be a better place without them. This twisted logic doesn't make them good people; their actions are far too horrible to excuse.
No good guy would engage in such wanton death and destruction... heck a fine example would be what he did to Setta; even if you except the twisted logic that he felt that he had to kill setta for some "greater good" there is NO REASON at all why he had to basically TORTURE him to death.
