Aeon Flux is probably my favourite cartoon ever. The writing is sorta weird because the themes and the actual narrative of each episode is really well written, but the moment to moment dialogue is really cliched and hacky at times
>morally ambiguous characters are the best
I didn't watch the show but I hate this meme.
how is it a meme
So you just want a hero but cool?
>guy who hasn't seen aeon flux has shit taste
Shocker
>morally ambiguous
Boring. In the end every single one of them boils down to: "I want to kill a bunch of people, here's my excuses for why it's ok".

A lot times, it doesn't even get that far.
The inverse "I kill people because it's fun and I am evillll" isn't?
That's just one aspect, sometimes it's just I want to experiment on humans to make a better humanity. Without consent obviously. And maybe they still care deeply for their love ones in some sort
This doesn't describe Trevor at all. He never wanted to kill large groups of people, in fact death often made him very sad.
Expecting Cinemaphile to actually have watched the shows they complain about is something a crazy person would do.
Anon, have you ever watched, read, or listened to anything that wasn't lowest common denominator schlock?
Genuine question, because it sounds like your view of morally ambiguous characters is based entirely on capeshit.
Gray morality would be better if authors weren't pussies and wrote one cohesive morality into the character instead of he does some le good and le bad.
Not Cinemaphile, but I recently started rewatching Deep Space 9 and I'm being reminded of what a fantastic character Garak is.
>the alien equivalent of a high-ranking SS officer
>did some objectively horrible shit during the war
>literally can't stop lying
>everyone on both sides knows he can't be trusted
>but he's charming and helps out the protagonists sometimes so it's cool
So can someone actually provide a definition of what makes a villain truly morally ambiguous
>morally: considered from a moral position
>moral: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behaviour; ethical
>ambiguous: doubtful or uncertain especially from obscurity or indistinctness; capable of being understood in two or more possible senses or ways
>moral ambiguity: a lack of certainty about whether something is right or wrong
God Aliens in Aeon Flux's style would have made for a great series.
Aeon Flux was so weird. I couldn't tell if it was too deep for me or I was reading into it things that I wasn't supposed to.
He did nothing wrong...
licking feet is wrong
Aeon is also morally ambiguous. The whole point of the episode with the God thing was that they had opposite goals for the same motivation.
That was the first episode of Aeon Flux I saw and I mistook it for the development of an ongoing story.
