ok, since i can’t freaking shut up or stop thinking about this show, i want everyone’s opinions on elias mannix, taking the entire show and entire character into account, what are your thoughts ?

here’s mine: at first i was VERY skeptical of mannix, as anyone else would be, but after finishing the show, i have come to my conclusion that he is just a lonely guy with a sucky life. i obviously don’t think what he did with the bomb was a good idea at all, but he redeemed himself when he told 2023 elias to not do it. i believe elias just wanted to be loved because he’s never felt that before, and he also wanted everyone else to feel love hence the “know you are loved” line.

at first, i thought this line was very odd and creepy, but after finishing the show, i believe it is a genuine saying. i think the “know you are loved” is honestly a powerful thing. because of elias’ story, that’s all he wanted, was to be loved. and even though the saying has some bad connotations, i personally really like it and i will remember the good parts of the saying and not the bad. good parts being mostly towards the end of the show when things really start to unfold and elias’ story is revealed.

i do feel bad for him. he had a rough childhood, and he wanted to make sure everyone was loved, so that’s why the 2053 timeline was the way it was. yes, he went about it the completely wrong way, but in the end he is a human being who wanted to feel what everyone else felt.

these are just my opinions, but ya

know you are loved ❤️
