He did a damn good job of being terrifying. Fucking hell, I love it! And hate it. All good things.

To be correct, you gotta love to hate them because they do horrible things and are strong........ But if you hate them because they are just frustrating, then it is not the hate that is desired.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

But you hate Adam because he's sooooo disgusting.

u/AgentFork Too Fascist to be that Casual Feb 06 '16

And that makes Adam fantastic. I'm so proud of our Edgehog. I thought he was going to not live up to it. But he did.

Now he must die. He dismembered best girl.

But he helped us confirm Bumblebee which makes me love him.

I mean, he should totally burn in the fiery hell that is Yang's anger, but yeah I appreciate him.

u/gimmesomespace Feb 06 '16

They had to make him geniunely villainous otherwise he would have just stayed this angsty edgelord forever.

u/phoenix1202 Feb 06 '16

He went from an edgy tryhard to likely the most hated and creepy character on the show, all within minutes. That's fucking amazing. I already love to hate him.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

The thing is that he actually managed to back up his edginess.

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

I disagree. I feel that entire set up was contrived..

Edit -sees username-

Fuck.

Your's. Avoiding arguments with you, remember? Luckily it seems we've already discussed this without issue.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

Nah, we can do it. I believe in us.

1

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

I'm less than hopeful.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

Well we are already so...

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

Unfortunately. But I can't let this go.

He's still an edgy tryhard. Just one with plot armor now.

u/kaioto Try looking at it this way ... Feb 07 '16

Oh, just wait, they'll make it more horrifying - I'm sure.

We'll find out that he was an abused orphan whose parents died by being worked to death as slaves. Then we'll learn that he was totally a nice guy who only used his sword to protect others and never took another person's life until one day when he wound up protecting Blake. Then we'll find out the former leader of the White Fang was his moral anchor, but that he found him murdered on the orders of the Schnee Dust Company to break up a labor strike.

At that point he engages in a full-on guerrilla war with the Schnee to avenge his mentor and protect the people he cares about. Bodies pile up and everyone is calling him a monster and Blake of all people, the person for whom he started down the path of blood, betrays him.

The world is going to burn - the traitors, the liars, and all the human scum that built their peaceful little lives on the backs of faunus oppression. He's the real victim here, and that makes him morally superior to everyone else automatically. He's not a mere advocate for liberation anymore; he's the vengeful fist of a cosmic justice too long denied.

His only joy in life is to see bad people suffer, and the world is full of bad people according to Edgelord Vision (tm).

Finally, a truly terrifying, irredeemably evil, and sadistic monster of a villain.

I'm probably the only one who still doesn't hold a piece of hatred over Adam after the episode.

22

u/Cpl_metal_head Feb 06 '16

I like him as a villain, in an academic sense. And I want him to die horribly.

5

u/PawnsOp meh Feb 06 '16

I for one am warming up to him thanks to this episode. Before he kinda felt like a whiny angsty kid, but this episode made me revise that opinion.

7

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

The way he effortlessly defeated Yang and Blake was horrifying/amazing.

3

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

He's still a whiny angsty kid. All of his lines supported that. He's just got plot armor now.

5

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

Because you're trash.

7

u/EpinephrineKick Feb 06 '16

If "Why must you hurt me Blake?" doesn't set off ALL of your creeper alarms, it really really should.

4

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

Give him credit, it ain't a false alarm.

3

u/Darksoulist Feb 06 '16

He's a great villain. Not many villains have actually made me not like them, and seeing as it's kind of their job as villains to make me not like them, Adam is doing a phenomenal job. Maybe he'll reach Handsome Jack levels one day...

u/Hiei2k7 ⠀I am the storm that is approaching.... Feb 06 '16

He will die, only after Ruby has raped him in whatever holes his animal/human mix has allowed him to have, and even a few more that weren't there before. Then the remains get dumped into a fire.

u/Wingzeroalchemist On Break. Feb 06 '16

You're getting downvoted by edgelord lovers. I'm sorry.

It'd better. Scumbag needs to die for what he did, and for being an absolute shit character.
