"Bo Katan walks both worlds she can bring all tribes together" is genuinely such a fucking joke !
they had everything to make this journey significant to Din's character ! him TAKING OFF his helmet TO SAVE A FOUNDLING after a lifetime of keeping it on, out of faith in his people and their culture, is SO MUCH MORE poignant than Bo-Katan keeping the helmet on for like two days after being a little shocked to see a mythosaur... and he did it to save his jedi foundling no less ! him being the one "who walks both worlds" would have been a perfect parallel to Grogu being tied between Jedi and Mandalorian cultures, and could have been nourished by Luke Skywalker also changing the jedi way from what was done to Anakin ! cultures evolving for the good of their people !!! people being attached to traditions but also open to change !!! but fuck it, CGI Luke was too expensive and we're tired of Din being the main character I guess ?
not to mention the whole deal of Din being someone who prefers to stay in the shadows suddenly being shoved under the spotlights by fate alone ! like actually if you think about it : 1) his need for companionship, 2) his need for fatherhood that he doesn't even dare admit, 3) and his willingness to become "A Hero" because of his care for others, despite him actually hating being at the center of Significant Historical Events, all these things are all like.. his entire character !!! that's the whole core of this guy !!! What the fuck is left if there's 1) no conflict with the need for companionship (he's back to not having doubts and deep feelings about the helmet thing), 2) no conflict in fatherhood (the kid is no longer a jedi in the blink of an eye in a fucking spin off episode), and 3) no conflict with his willingness to become A Hero to save his son and his friends even if he doesn't like it (fate gave him that darksaber but actually he can remain Just A Guy it's fine, Bo Katan can take the lead) like ???
what's left is pure nothingness, this show means nothing and says nothing and that's why it doesn't bother with giving important moments that would have felt fully earned to its actual main character

I kind of feel like Killian's story parallels Heracles, which tracks for me considering i am the way i am

No, I was not disappointed by how Jason was written in the comics in post crisis. Even when written by authors who just could not grasp the depth of his character (let alone a consistent plot), I can’t say I disagreed with him! He’s compelling and has the kind of magnetism and self-awareness most other characters lack.
What I do find mildly disappointing however (tbh Idc, it’s not my brain), is the ever-increasing number of self-appointed social justice warriors of fiction with a prominent lack of critical thinking skills casually wandering into the tag acting like they have some grandiose point to make that will sway us misguided Jason fans into seeing the ultimate truth; that we actually should not enjoy the canon version of our favorite fictional character because of xyz sins, and that any characteristic he had was actually made up.

To the person claiming Christianity should not be held accountable:
From an indigenous person whose had his language and culture stolen from him by Christianity through forced conversion:
Please educate yourself on the actual history of Christianity and how it has killed and continues to kill Native American languages and cultures before claiming it's not that bad or not still practicing colonization because yeah, I've experienced it first hand, it's still terrible and still happening!:

Just started reading Duke, Please Repent and dang.
Serpen is really fucked up.
He’s been raised to fulfill his one duty—to use the Holy Sword and protect the continent. He’s been through so many trials to do just that, he’s been forced to commit “necessary evil” (eg. killing a baby monster).
And when the time comes, he wasn’t even chosen. He could not fulfill his duty, which was the center of his entire life. It was his only motivation.
Now that he can’t fulfill it, what was it all for? Without his duty, what was he? Who is he? What is his meaning in life?
No wonder he snapped.

I love that Saga's literally always brought back from the dead almost immediately when he thought he was done paying for his crimes
Timelines from when he dies to revived:
Classic Series: However long it took between Sanctuary-Hades
The Legend of the Crimson Youth Movie: It looks like it's been a few months(?) since he died since he and the besties all get nice matching coffins
Soul of Gold: He's really at his fucking limit in this one
Saintia Sho: I think the body was still warm honestly
