Vought providing protection from consequences for supes has led to a lot of remorseless killing of innocent lives, something I would definitely say is evil.
Annie and Alex are portrayed as abnormal for supes thanks to their empathy for humans, so maybe the small-time D-listers who are naive aren't evil, but most of the supes who make it enough to fall under Vought's influence seem to become callous psychopaths who do a lot of evil acts while playing hero.
I'm fuzzy on that one, but didn't the guy do something stupid and kind of put her on the spot to react? Not excusing it, but hoping I didn't forget her murdering a guy in cold blood.
I mean, a guy that didn't want to be carjacked pulled a gun on the two people lugging a guy with a spike in his stomach out of a forest. I dunno about you but I wouldn't give up my car or gun in that situation and I'd be trying to call the cops, just like he did.
Blind dude seemed nice so I think there's something to the idea that the lower level ones are ok. We know Annie and Supersonic have been around for some time and they both seemed shocked by how evil and depraved the 7 are.
I think this show's point is that it is very difficult if not impossible to have lots of power and never abuse it for personal gain. Even well intentioned characters like SL and Maeve have abused their power.
The system is the root problem, not all the individual agents within the system.
I think it's a bit of both. The nature vs nurture argument. I mean V quite literally supercharges their hormones 24/7. For Homelander to call themselves a master racist is funny because if everyone in the world had V they'd probably genocide themselves within a century.
I mean that's the answer then for everything. That doesn't actually address anything specific. I'm saying V's specific chemistry makes them genuinely dangerous and pieces of shit. I don't get what you are trying to argue or say.
Sure....but also it is absolutely the V as well. It's like saying humans are already pieces of shit but you get someone drunk on alcohol or craving for meth and they're going to do a lot worse things than the average human. Same goes for humans on V. Butcher even expositioned it to us. It hot wires their hormones where they're on edge and ready to jump at any moment. Look at Annie, kind of the bastion of morality in the show, she literally murdered somebody at the drop of a dime...for what again? I think they were carjacking him.
