(tldr) what a sorry excuse for a redemption arch. personally I think its poorly written on so many levels.
the most glaring reason. intermingling his past live actions with his modern day "philanthropy" topples the scales out of his favour. in our minds he JUST KILLED THE PRINCESS!!!... and everyone else. the scales have not been balanced. Penance has not been made. techinally they are different people, but narrativly the author is telling us they are the same person. I would have suggested putting season in-between the murders and now. let the audience breath, forget and move on.
then there was hardly a moment he wasnt selfish and when he was being slightly selfless he had the look of a beaten puppy. dude hasnt learnt to be a good person just how to not to be a murder. has anyone seen the bar?? i think i last saw it in hell.
don't even get me started on a time skip to heal the hurt, instead of actually writing. it's just lazy. which is crazy when they could have gone in a different direction.
now I love a black flag ml but be honest or do it right. dont give me a piece of shit and pretend it's a nice guy.
