#man to think this whole thing makes him a conceptually cool endgame boss

[hanakihan]

me and mutual brainrotted a little and honestly Salieri’s object of revenge being focused on a Mozart both makes sense and is extremely dumb

like yes it make sense for Mozart to be his main unachievable target both for whole ‘you’re the reason’ and also ‘you’re dead before I can complete my revenge’

but at the same time Mozart isn’t even technically the source of his current condition and irl fame. like sure it was the starting point, but Mozart himself isn’t enough to be an actual object of Salieri’s revenge.

iirc servant is qualified to be Avenger if their revenge and anger are justified and targeted on right object (correct me if I’m wrong because I definitely can remember things wrong), but in Salieri’s case Mozart being the object in this context just doesn’t align, because the only thing Mozart did was to simply die. He didn’t betray Salieri or ruined his life personally, he just died and that’s it. It’s rumors that people kept spreading and believing that ultimately screwed over his last years of life and post death fame. So technically his object of revenge should be humanity itself, because his status is a collectively accepted truth unless someone decides to dig further. otherwise most people hear ‘Salieri’ and go ‘oh yes the one who murdered Mozart’.
