DA Didn't read, but how surprising that a monster had a tragic backstory. Not really interested in how you worded the secret as if we should find him ~fascinating and feel ~pity for him. I'll do that to fictional villains.

I'm sorry you see everything in black and white.

Haha nope.

Once your body count is in the millions range there's not a lot of room left for moral ambiguity.

No, it's like the difference between "Hitler: The Rise of Evil" and "Downfall."

In both movies he was portrayed as a horrible person, but in Downfall he was still three-dimensional and a little sympathetic. In Rise of Evil he was a caricature who beat his dog.

I dunno, I'm all for not "forgiving" real life bad people, but I am interested in humanizing monsters. People are people even if they are mass murdering dictators, and I personally am interested in the elements of their lives that might make them "sympathetic" against all the odds (sympathetic is the wrong word here, I don't really know how to explain myself, just things that make them human when it's easy to other bad people)

Not saying he's not "tragic". I mean he might have been miserable but I think the point is moot with all he did. I definitely think his life overall is tragic considering the consequences it had for everyone else, though.

There's no moral ambiguity, but there are human factors, both in how they became the people they were, and how they managed to sway enough people to their side that they could commit that many atrocities. The problem with writing them (and, typically, their followers) off as nothing more than monsters is that it means we're, on some level, deciding it's an anomaly, and can't ever happen here. Which is both incorrect and fairly terrifying.
