I wanna add onto this I love thinking abt Adam

This man hadn't cared about a single person in his life (except his mom, probably), but when Jonah died he finally felt something, remorse.

He is an asshole I'll be honest but I love him sm for that 😭😭

As an alternate he subconsciously tries to get the strongest reaction out of people, and then complains when they're rude to him back. He also sees people (Sarah, Jonah) as overly-sensitive because they'd react negatively to half the things he did, even though that half was literally hating on everything they did-

And he does feel emotions, is drawn to negative ones.

But when he listened to Jonah's screams then, in the basement, instead of feeling the same satisfaction he'd had whenever he got a negative reaction out of people, he felt guilt. He's the reason for his death, the reason for the person who'd tried to save him from the fate he's now doomed to follow.

Hot take :33 (not really)

Saying that Adam didn't do anything wrong OR saying that he's evil and the worst person in the series (in a /srs way) are both god awful takes that erase everything that makes him interesting as a character.

He's absolutely not a good person (well for that matter he's not even a person). He is an asshole, apathetic and treats his friends god awfully. He's done genuinely bad things, like traumatizing Sarah and Evelin and not caring for Jonah's death. There's no need to defend his actions. I've seen people use the fact that he's an alternate to defend him but like. EXACTLY. He's an alternate, his actions CAN'T be defended because THAT'S WHAT HE'S MADE TO DO. And yes while it is understandable, it's not an excuse.

HOWEVER

He's still a victim too. (Which I find ironic, what was supposed to be the predator is a victim of his own kind). He was replaced as a child, 4 years old. The only human memories he had were probably the image of his hanged mother, maybe that's why he's so obsessed with finding what happen to her, she's the frist memory he had as human. And he's constantly being tormented by Six Gabriel, and to a lesser amount Preacher. He learns a truth that he never wanted to know, that he isn't Adam Murray, just a demon wearing his face,not the hero of the story just an unwitting pawn to the alternates and Gabriel's plans. And he is DISTRACTED by that information. His bones are broken, he very likely attempted suicide, and he's begging to be killed due to how much pain he's in.

On top of that he's really not evil.

Compare to an actual alternate. He's not ANYWHERE near as terrible as they are. He's an asshole sure, but he doesn't go out of his way to steal people's identities, stalk them and psychologically torture them until they kill themselves. He hasn't killed anyone (?)..and that's good.

ALSO

He has the potential to be good I won't lie.

He's hurt people, but I don't think it was really on purpose. Kind of. It's complicated to explain but I think that he doesn't mean to go as far as he did, like he knows he's an asshole but he just doesn't think he's hurting people just that badly. Is the best way I can explain it. But now he knows what he is and what he's capable of. Maybe he will learn to keep himself under control.

Also he's genuinely capable of feeling regret. According to his own diary; hearing Jonah's screams during his final moments made "[him] feel bad in a way [he's] never felt before" and that's important, VERY important, because:

1: he's an alternate, he shouldn't be feeling things like sadness and regret (both of which he's been shown capable of feeling and expressing)

2: alternates are thrilled to the sound of humans screaming, so he feeling guilty because it was JONAH'S screams makes me question if he really hated him in the frist place or if he had just convinced himself that he did.

Stop trying to defend the undefendable!! Stop villiantizing a character who's not necessarily good!!! Morally complex characters exist stop seeing everything in black and white!

Anyway what's up

lol xd me whenI'm
