#EVERYONE needs to be judged according to an immutable standard INCLUDING HER. and SHE CANNOT BE THE ONE CREATING THAT STANDARD.

I’m having too many Feelings™ about Noir again, this time specifically about how no “Sympathetic and Well-Intentioned Tragic Villain” in any other piece of media will ever be done as successfully and effectively as Altena.
#like. there are SO many Overarching Villains of a work that the creator(s) will try to make me sympathize with and it just. does NOT hit.
#and there are so many instances in other works of trying to convince me that 'oh their villainy is an outgrowth of a wider problem' and
#'they truly think they're the Good Guy here' and so few of them EVER manage to actually do that
#but ALTENA?? yes. I 100% believe her conviction to her cause is real. I 100% believe that in a different world she could have just been
#a regular woman who went about living her life with a relative degree of adjustment
#and she's willing to put her money where her mouth is!! if she needs to die for her cause she will!!! if what it takes for The Plan to work
#is for her to suffer the consequences that all her detractors/potential enemies do then fine!! there's no special exception for her here!!!!
#and most importantly I 100% believe that what she does IS out of a genuine belief that this is what is best for the world.
#she's not using that as an excuse to just do whatever she wants. she's not using a theoretical noble ideology to hide behind in order to
#convince herself that she serves a higher purpose. she's not using her cause as a cover THIS IS TRULY WHAT SHE WANTS FOR THE WORLD AT LARGE
#THIS is (to her) the way to prevent what happened to her from happening to anyone else. THIS is the way to solve the world's lack of
#accountability. THIS is the way to put the maximum amount of good back into the world.
#EVERYONE needs to be judged according to an immutable standard INCLUDING HER. and SHE CANNOT BE THE ONE CREATING THAT STANDARD.
#IT HAS TO COME FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS NOT OVERLY-BIASED ON ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM LIKE SHE IS.
#THERE IS NO DIVINE JUSTICE THERE IS NO JUSTICE AT ALL SO SHE HAS TO DO HER PART IN CREATING IT BUT THE DISPENSE OF THAT JUSTICE /CANNOT COME
#FROM HER/ SHE /KNOWS/ THAT. SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO RECOGNIZE THAT.
#UGH MY /GOD/ THERE IS NO STORY LIKE THIS EVERYONE GO WATCH NOIR
