That different people can engage with the same piece of media and come out of it with wildly different interpretations is a testament to the evolutionary miracle that is the human brain. It is also very annoying.
#but i'm gonna mind my own business.
#like the point of saw and luthen's characters TO ME isn't 'Both Sides Bad' it's 'revolution is ugly beyond belief and
#if you make it out alive it won't be with clean hands EVEN IF your cause is just and the alternative (fascism) is unbearable.
#i think the audience is meant to be disturbed by their accelerationist tactics we are meant to think about whether the ends really justify
#the means we are meant to think about whether 'good' is something you believe or something you do or something in between.
#we as the audience of a prequel series also have the benefit of near-omniscience bc WE know that while saw and luthen are poking the bear
#and playing with human lives like they're chess pieces the empire is actively building a weapon capable of blowing up entire planets
#and mass-murdering billions which they will later use without hesitation. saw and luthen DON'T know that which complicates things further.
#collapsing all that nuance and reducing it to Both Sides Bad is. well. reductive. but like i said i'm gonna mind my own business (lying).
#btw i say all of this as someone who studied real-life parallels of these kinds of things extensively in school and had to stop because
#i was too much of a kumbaya pacifist and it quite literally drove me insane.
#so if anybody came out of that show saying Both Sides Bad it should've been me. and yet. like idk man at the end of the day
#there is a difference between a rebellion using violence to claw back an imperfect democracy and a brutally repressive empire.
#sorry i promise i'll stop talking about this show someday but ummm that day is not today. apparently.
