its understandable that people characterize elias as a stereotypical annoying bitch disney villain, but i feel like the canon was trying to do something so much funnier with him. his main personality trait was never being petty or overtly evil. it was being boring and corporate. this is not loki, this is like. the narrator from the stanley parable. ok. this is mr. does budgeting for fun. he is an automatically generated manager who just so happens to be a 200 year old evil false prophet.

#the three things we as a fandom fucked up:#1. making elias a stereotypical charming flamboyant villain when really he's the boringest guy ever #2. making martin a morally pure soft boy when really he's an excellent example of trope subversion #3. making gertrude a grandmother figure when she's a single old woman with no family. she's perfect how could we do this to her #im probably guilty of all of these at least once too but trying to be better #tma #the magnus archives #elias bouchard #jonah magnus #tma meta #tma analysis
