#After seasons 3 and 4 Otto is pretty irredeemable but! Different writing team!

[gingerhastoomanyobsessions]

NO LITERALLY.

In seasons 3 and 4 Otto does some pretty heinous shit but. seasons 1 and 2 ock is like…yeah I kinda get it!!! I’d go murderously insane too if I was maimed, surgically altered without consent, and kept captive in a basement for years on end.

Out of universe, it might have to do with the fact that there was a consistent writing team for seasons 1 and 2, but a new team was brought on for season 3…and each episode of season 4 was written by a different person. I wish I was kidding. For the first two seasons, Otto’s motive is “not be fucking killed by Norman” and then “get revenge on Norman for the Everything.” By seasons 3 and 4, that motive is gone and he’s just doing evil for shits and giggles.

The infuriating thing is that (SPOILERS) they redeem Norman. They let him join the heroes. He becomes another Iron Man. And we all just ignore the fact that he’s kept a mentally and physically ill guy locked in a bunker for 15 years and threatened to pull the plug on said guy’s life support until said guy snapped. Idk about you but I kind of feel like they redeemed the wrong villain here

I have only watched maybe eight usm cartoon eps so what I’m about to say may or may not be super accurate but anyways Hey you guys ever think about how weird it was that no one ever really acknowledges the fact that Otto got kidnapped and enslaved by Norman for presumably years and that Doc Ock is narratively treated like any other supervillain and also that Norman is viewed a lot more sympathetically than him?
