Ah, okay, well, no. :) That's not what I meant. I meant that they don't see themselves as evil. They might think that it's necessary to kill people/make sacrifices to reach their goals, but they don't think that their idea of a society is to be evil.
True believers never do, quite the opposite. They're purging the church of sinners or burning the witches who are making their children sick. They're making America great again.
It's kind of too bad there are no superheroes available in this scenario. We could use Wonder Woman's lasso of truth or whatever it's called. Also Wonder Woman.
Fanfic prompt: I am ready for someone to write an AU where Lucy destroys the mother ship and gets stuck in the past where she meets up with Wonder Woman. That would be so awesome. (bounces up and down!)
The darkness I'm objecting to isn't about the mytharc, it's about what they're doing (and planning on doing) to the characters. They're going to put them all through an emotional ringer, over and over again. Man, I hate that shit. They started early with Lucy by taking away her sister. Now she's lost her mother, too. She's lost her childhood; her entire life is now colored by the knowledge that her mother has been lying to her—and not just about her father—about everything. You can only imagine what they have lined up for Wyatt. And Rufus. God.
It's about having fewer special effects and more character-driven angst. It's cheaper to film so that's the price we're paying for getting ten more episodes to watch.
