He was a pretty bad guy, who nonetheless actually ended up redeeming himself, both in his life on Earth, and even in the Afterlife before his awakening. So much so that he even decided to stay longer than he needed to, and it honestly wasn't even out of pennance by that point. He genuinely liked his new life so much that his work of pennance didn't even feel like work anymore.
Locke needs to die to convince others to go back to the island
Ben was just curious if he had useful information so he talked him out of killing himself
But Locke had to die so killing was the only option
>Why exactly did he do that again.
We needed a shocking moment for ratings mate. The writers knew they fucked up by having him come back as the black smoke ghost man thing.
>Lost was a better show that people credit it for.
It was until the last season. There is no timeline or purgatory where I would think that was not bad.
He was a terrible person, but he still had some tiny bit of conscience left in him, and when he realized Jacob was bullshit it completely broke him and he realized the error of his ways and started on the path to redemption
Lost was also a worse show than people credit it for, because Damon Lindelof has a lot of really dumb ideas and was unafraid to bullshit the higherups at ABC to get them onboard with his weird fantasy show.
He was a bad guy only out to maintain his personal power by any means necessary, however that involved protecting an island that was very important to not be interfered with for the safety of the world, so he incidentally had a good goal. An anti-villain.
He was a bad guy straight up, I don't even buy the le island protector angle when he had never even seen Jacob until Locke showed up but still (presumably) faked it to manipulate the Others.
When they auctioned off all the props after the show ended I bought young Ben's paint set. You can see it in the background of one of the flashback episodes.
Bad, but (maybe) not irredeemable.
He killed so many innocent people, most of whom weren’t for some greater good, it was just his own fragile ego and need to assert dominance.
In the end, he seems to realize what a piece of shit he was and want to make up for it. And he realizes he doesn’t deserve to enter the church yet. Maybe he never will.
Why the fuck did he get together with Shannon? Genuinely one of the most unnatural television couples I've ever seen, they had absolutely zero chemistry whatsoever. And what about Nadia? I'm supposed to believe he ever actually gave a shit about her when he got together with fucking Shannon?

Fellow Lost Chad.
>Lost was a better show that people credit it for.
You put too much credit into Lost.
He fucking killed locke when off the island. He was objectively bad
Why exactly did he do that again. I remember it coming off as just cartoonishly evil and unnecessary.
he was a jealous little bitch who was sick of him outshining him
so yes it was

You mean like when he killed Jacob?
no I meant like when he was mocked
You mean good. Fuck Locke.

So were the writers.

Nah, lost is pretty accurately rated. The half dozen people still trying to claim it’s good are extreme outliers.
lost is kino that everyone interested in Cinemaphile should have seen
evil hair

he was a schizo volcel.
bad guy doing good things occasionally
Is this real?
He tasted heroin there
>WALT!
Isn't Lost just some allegory for Judaism? Who does Ben represent in Judaism?
It's an allegory for Christianity. They literally end up in a church at the end. Where did you get Judaism?
>arab dude ends up with the blonde instead of the arab woman he simped years for
lol
>>arab dude ends up with the blonde instead of the arab woman he simped years for
That incest white pussy was good.
He was certainly a villain at first but ended up becoming a good guy at the end. Nigga just wanted some blonde pussy damn.
He was morally ambiugous.

A very good bad guy who did it all for good reasons, which he ended up having to do bad ways....for good reasons.
It's not as simple as just 'good' or 'bad'
but he was a bad guy
to me he always seemed like a fully realized locke and easily mogged him even when it felt like the island ditched him for locke
Except he envied locke every step of the way even after killing him

He was whatever would be most shocking, episode to episode.
Just like everything else in lost.
Wrong and filtered
Denial isn’t healthy. Your time was wasted. There wasn’t a plan. The writers lied.
There are 0 shows that are thought all the way through, lost could certainly be better, but pretending that its shit actually is denial
That doesn’t change the fact the only “plan” with lost was to shock the audience every episode.
Midwit take. Go watch marvel.
>if you don’t like my slop you like that slop!
The creators of this show admitted they were making it up as they went along. If anything, that anon is on point.
he was a chud

Because it was the most shocking pairing
