I don't think they were presented as being equally bad or anything, or if they were it wasn't for long.

I... didn't think they were presented as "equally bad" either? Both had Problems, both were Dangerous... but the Narns current aggressiveness was v. clearly a reaction to what the Centari did to them first. So.

Maybe a generation later after a scrap of healing it might have felt more balanced. At this point in their history - to me - mostly it felt v. painful for everybody involved.

Yeah, if anything that was one of the big twists of the show - season one, the Narn are presented as the aggressive militaristic empire and the Centauri are the goofy human-like aliens, then from season two onwards it emphasizes no, the Centauri were absolute monsters and the Narn were completely justified by militarizing in response to it.

I agree. One of the many things I love about Bab5.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. Casting Andreas Katsulas as G'Kar was a deliberate part of this, and Katsulas was well known for playing villains. G'Kar developing into a moral religious figure was a major subversion of audience expectations, and one reason why B5 is so good.

Another voice for "they weren't presented as equally bad in any way and not sure where OP is getting this from"

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think they were "equally bad." That said, the problems of G'Kar as a metaphor for post-colonialist anger probably are worthy of more careful critique.
