It’s not that they didn’t think he deserved to die, it’s that they didn’t want him to have to live with that guilt. This is a spoiler::::::::::::::
:
He ends up being known as “the man who devoured his family to survive”, and people think of him as some crazed murderer and fear him. This is what they didn’t want, because it takes a heavy toll on him mentally
Whattt???? How did no one clock that the elder brother is the crazed murderer??? His vibes are crazy! Why couldn’t the same plot armour for the dumbass older brother work for him too?? It’s like he got away with everything without any consequences, unless the public knows that the older brother is crazy and they are just being assholes like “yeah he was insane but you still can’t kill him even though he was trying to murder everyone including you, let us all collectively shun you for surviving”
Yea it was extremely weird and either not explained or I just haven’t gotten to the explanation, they were also blaming him for his dad’s death!! Maybe even Lucas’ too, I remember them saying the public knew he was sick but not that he was terminally ill so maybe they just assumed he killed him? But I’m not sure. It’s really dumb either way (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Lmaoooo, they could’ve spent just a liiiittle more time on this aspect of the story or made this dude unrelated to all of them, I guess then there would not be a weird excuse for no one to kill him even if he was wreaking havoc… Actually this is a pretty big part of the story, damn, just a little more thought… I guess we just have to suspend disbelief, great story otherwise
Guys I’m back after not reading this from around May, does it make sense now why Lucas and Vincent were like nooooo Ethan don’t kill your elder brother even though he killed my dad and your father figure and blinded me and tried to blind your brother and is just running around being evil??? Is this still a plot hole? I can’t believe they’ve been letting this man run free without any consequences just because it would SUCH a great shame for Ethan to kill his OWN brother and also that Ethan was like yep this is totally fine that my brother is running around being evil, him being here outweighs my younger brother’s safety, my best friend’s safety and eye sight, and the death of my father figure, and his continued attempts at murder, it’s totally fine if everyone lives in fear of this man including myself, I am ok with this
