I read the manifesto, beautifully written and filled with a lot of heart, but I'm just not fond of it all.
It's like way too Romantic as in a Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff mauling the shit out of a dying Catherine brand of Romantic. I mean, god, if Mello's character is really like that, than what a tremendous douchebag. I know Mello's much more 3-dimensional than that leather-clad, gun-cock, don't-give-a-fuck, pretty-boy, bawwww-Near-is-better-than-me caricature that he's made out to be. Sure he's emotional, but I doubt he'd shoot you in the face if you called him second best unless perhaps you were Near. I do think he puts a little more thought into his actions.
Regarding that 'Matt is a loyal dog' idea, is it not possible to put trust into Mello without having to be some sort of drone? Is Mello's way of doing things so outrageous that the only way a person could plausibly follow him is to be a 'loyal dog'? This trivializes Mello's intelligence.

Also, I can't help but feel that Matt is treated like an accessory to Mello just to accentuate Mello's 'awesomeness' for lack of better word.

The only reason why I even argue this is because I can't agree that this is the end-all-be-all interpretation of Matt and Mello. I can definitely see the appeal in this interpretation, but I feel like I have to suspend my beliefs just to take this seriously.

Course, I don't want to be all SRZ BZNS here because that's silly, I'm merely throwing in my 2 cents here.

oh wait, I'm fucking retarded and didn't read. The poster suggested this as a starting point not the end-all-be-all interpretation. My bad, but I still stand by my statements.

nakwefale points taken, I'm too lazy to go edit the thing, but thank you for your thoughts, Anon, they're appreciated! (:
