I like to imagine choosing infinite wisdom just makes you realize choosing infinite destruction was a better choice and it basically makes you go the next best thing to infinite destruction
What I love about solar opposites are actual sincere stories the writers had given, genuine world-building that isn't engulfed by cynicism and everyone being a jerk for the sake of **checks notes* ... funny? Yes the early seasons had the major characters all being massive jerks, yes it could be less pop reference-heavy (by god was it dredging 5 decades worth of pop culture), it could be little less in-the-face in its presentation, it could be more confident in telling its funny haha alien people without shielding into self-awareness or hypermeta stuff, but it ISN'T driven by hatred and toxicity for its own fans the way Rick and Morty mostly is. It has hope. It has heartwarming stuff that doesn't get deconstructed for the sake of shock. It has sadness and sorrow and anger depicted into characters with depths and growth. Humble heros turned monsters, aliens turned humans, or dictators turned kind and guilt-driven. It treats every homage in respect instead of tearing it apart from limb to limb a la mexican cartel. It cared about the stories it presented.
The wall is the best thing I’ve ever come across I don’t remember the last time I had this surreal feeling from engaging in a good guy bad guy classic tropes story. I haven’t felt like this since reading those books in Mountain View library and the comics
Cherie going crazy and becoming evil makes sense and has been foreshadowed since season 3. Still the impact has been lessened since literally every season except 1 has involved a main villain that was a former good guy gone evil. Honestly, this has been the worse season so far for the Wall and it legitimately makes me wonder if the show writers have run out of ideas of where to take it.
*Siiiiiiiiigh* just when I thought they were going to do something interesting, they went for the triple twist. :( What a boring choice to take the story.
I really kind of hate this. It's almost a parody at this point how every "potential" good guy leader ends up going evil. It's like they keep chasing after the success of the twist of Tim turning evil in season 1. But the thing is Tim turning evil is actually pretty heavily foreshadowed (although him trying to kill his girlfriend does feel like an extreme turn for the character even with the foreshadowing). It's been 5 seasons and 4 of them have a main bad guy who was once a good guy gone evil. They really need to do something different.
I was going get very annoyed with the idea that a hedgehog would die just because it got some hand sanitizer on it. Heck, I highly doubt flies would die.
While a lot of the evil wall side story stuff kinda came out of nowhere at least Cherie makes a lot of sense. This is a woman whose wanted nothing more but peace after enduring Tons of Abuse and strife but every time the threat is gone, someone shows up makes everything worse and then Cherie has to clean up the mess over and over again all the while the people around Cherie beg for her help so makes sense that she’d be all “You want me to take charge and Lead you all?! FINE! Im your queen now! You happy?!”
