#and the same people who hate wyll hate maximus

[theology101]

He’s just a kid who desperately wants the happiness and safety he had in his youth and was tricked into thinking that the only thing he needed was a suit of armor and the Brotherhood

But then he gets comfort, safety and genuine, meaningless compassion and he’s moved!

Like a person!

He’s just a guy trying to make it

I love that Maximus is a heroic character, but in a way that's flawed, relatable, and human. I think the scene that sold me was him rushing to save Knight Titus, and immediately stopping once it's clear he's going to scapegoat his ass. Like yes, actually, I think that's what most of us would have done. I sure af would have.

Also I like that on one hand he's grateful to the BoS for rescuing him, but he's not a fanatic. When he and Lucy found Vault 4, I assumed he was going to hate it no matter what for simply not being the BoS. But same as her, he's willing to learn from the world around him, and change his mind. By the end of season 1, he's gone from wanting to be a Knight to wanting Happily Ever After with his sweetie in a vault.

Anyway, I'm blocking anyone who says Maximus is boring. He's not boring, you're just racist.
