#like put the tears and snot away viola davis

[starliteonearth]

Controversial opinion but I don't consider Mahito a "great" villain. He's a great foil to Yuji but a legitimately good villain? On principle? Idk. Personally, I feel like what separates him from Sukuna and Kenjaku, who are also horrible people, is that they actually stand on business. They do something terrible, they stand on it. Ten toes down. Mahito turning tail and begging for his life at the end was frankly just embarrassing. You want to shed tears and plead for mercy? Tough shit bitch. You don't get to cry. You did all those fucked up things, OWN IT.

And I know his munchers will argue that he's technically just a child in curse years but that further proves my point. He's a spoiled child, running around unchecked, committing all these atrocities, and getting away with them. Then he gets smacked in the face with consequences of his actions- finding out after fucking around -and he can't handle it at all. He completely crumbles. However, unlike a child, he knew full well what he was doing, so I actually needed Yuji to curbstomp his ugly raggedy ass some more.
