Ramblings on Good and Evil. Sort of.

Just a moment.

Just one, to appreciate something here...  

Loki.

Darth Vader.

Zuko.

All from completely different fandoms, and not even the same type of character, but they ALL have something in common...

Let's just take a moment to look at each one.

Now, I'm talking the Avengers Loki, not the real mythological Loki, because that Loki wasn't really *that* bad of a guy.. Right? ;) 

But anyways, back on topic.

His dad lied to him. He was never good enough. When he found out the truth, he pretty much crumbled into another person. Not only, was he angry, but the knowledge that he was part Frostgiant, was more of an excuse. An excuse to his aching heart to act out. An excuse to his breaking heart to get revenge. 

This is a man fraught with grief. Despair.

Darth Vader... Anakin Skywalker. Why did he turn? He was never trusted to do important things. Even though we know that Obi Wann was just trying to protect him, he didn't see things that way. He had this voice whispering in his ear.. Temptation. He could save the one he loved. Heartbroken...

Zuko... Never good enough. Never living up to his fathers expectations. Rage filling him because of his mothers absence... A sister that exceeded him in every possible way, and constantly throw it into his face. But not only that, he was brought up in an entire nation of evil! 

Looking at all of these characters... They're my favorites. Out of all these fandoms, they're the ones I look to as the best.

Because they've felt more than the rest. They understand hate, greed, anger, and pain, more than anyone else..

And maybe it's because I can relate with them. All three. Just a little bit.

I went through a period in my life where I would have done anything to make it stop. Everything. The pain. The sadness. The heart beating in my chest.

I would have given anything to make it stop.

And I look at them, and I see they just gave up the struggle.

The struggle between good and evil.. 

Zuko turned good. Darth Vader had a moment, right before death, where he did.. Just a little. Where will Loki end up? You notice that he loves his brother, and spares him on several occasions.

It's just another thing to show us: 

The best of the good can always turn bad.

The worst of the evil can always turn good.

No matter how evil, evil is not complete there.

No matter how good, good is not complete there.

And I guess that's all I really had to say...
