    Depends on the canon. IIRC the "Frostmourne stole Arthas' soul" line wasn't dropped until a quest in Wrath, and WoW's writing was filled with ergregious retcons (Night Elves joining the Alliance, Forsaken joining the Horde, Kael'thas turning evil, Draenei and Eredar being retconned into being...

    Oh no, is this another one of those "we have the opportunity to undo death, but we aren't going to do so because death gives meaning to our lives?" anime/JRPG protag rationales? The ending also reeks of "we should preserve the status quo, no matter how crappy it is. People who try to change...

    It sounds like everyone else is just being idiots tripping over their own feet, and Torrent is just being pragmatic and making the best of the situations those people created.

    The villains of Trails to Azure. Turns out that yes, the ends really do justify the means... if the end will alter the timeline to bring back everyone you killed along the way to create a better timeline for everyone.

    I do recall that in one episode (I think a Federation-Romulan border standoff?), Picard called up Starfleet Command, and the admiral who answered him said "we trust you Jean Luc to make executive decisions out there on our behalf. You know what's it like, you have all the facts, we trust in your...

    Agreed, BUT! I do feel that the miners could've waited a little bit longer to see how the negotiations resolved. It feels really bizzare for them to invest all this time and effort getting soooooo close to the tribe... only to say "nah, we're not going to even try negotiating, we're just going...

    Seems to be a recurring trend in Japanese media, to my aggravation. Princess Relena from Gundam Wing: "We practice total pacifism here in the Sanc Kingdom! There shall be no fighting in my name!" (ignoring the fact that literally right outside her castle, she has soldiers dying in her name to...

    Colonel Alan Richard, from Trails in the Sky. This villain was absolutely, hands down 100% right, and is arguably the actual hero of the game. Richard hails from the small kingdom of Liberl. 10 years ago, in the year 1192, Liberl was invaded by the neighboring Erebonian Empire. Erebonia is...
