#Annnd of course the Courier also fills the role of “the future” if you'll allow my Arcouriers.

I think Arcade and Benny make for really interesting foils when you aren't just playing gay Barbies with them. Arcade is entirely caught up in the guilt of his past and wears the truth of himself on his sleeve whereas Benny has tried very hard to reinvent himself to become someone that could feasibly control Vegas. We know very little about his past beyond the basics which, yeah obviously, but it also serves to make him feel like someone who doesn't want his past remembered because it does nothing to further his goals. Do you get it? Looking back vs looking forwards, liars with varying degrees of success in it.
