ok I'm awake and a little more sentient. there is a whole lot of stuff I really really like about the episodes but I think my main disappointment right now is just that. viktor became the machine herald because of his own conviction. he forced himself to become stronger, specifically attempted to remove his own emotions because he felt they made him weak. but now this viktor just gets thrust into this situation, like the hexcore is just manipulating him to do whatever the fuck, he didn't even get to choose what he wanted because jayce chose it for him

#also not to mention #that as the machine herald he didn't want a cult lol #i always got the impression #that he wanted to help people #but he saw his followers as fools or something to use #this is not a slight on jayce by the way #because yes. i would be trying to save him too #it's just like #from that point i want to see him choose his destiny for himself #not just follow the hex core's whims #and i can't decide if they're going to make him a kind of good redeemable guy #or if they're eventually just going to make him comically evil #both outcomes. do not sit right with me #I'm still a little sleepy so sorry if this analysis is just straight up wrong #I'll probably be rewatching the episodes again to reform my opinion lol #there's still a lot of episodes left so I'm not totally out of hope yet but these are just my thoughts so far #the concept of him becoming 'the arcane herald' or something instead is still super cool and interesting to me #but..... my machine guy........ holds him close like that picture of jesus holding the baby lamb
