hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god
A lot of people point out the visual parallels between Mel and Viktor but not enough people talk about the thematic parallels between them (also excuse the shitty screenshots).
they both grew up with mentors who ended up doing something they couldn't understand (Viktor believing death is better than sacrificing humanity, Mel believing war is bad)
and they remain haunted by that memory as an adult
they later left that mentor, Viktor on his own decision, Mel got cast out. Then they reconnected with that mentor when they are struggling with the same dilemma but their position has shifted. Again Viktor does this on his own accord and Ambessa comes to Mel
After this encounter though they realise their error and shift back to their original position
They stick to the same morals after Jinx's bomb hits but the decision was taken from them, Jayce already sacrificed Viktor's humanity, the council already decided on war
Then for the rest of season two we see them attempt to keep up their original stance but their hand is forced. (It is also interesting that Viktor is already taking away their humanity he just doesn't realize it yet, probably because he is so far from his own humanity he has forgotten what that even means)
They also both have parallels to the one they once defended as a kid
But I'm still having trouble finding what the purpose of all these parallels are. Viktor and Mel aren't very close in the narrative and they're both close to Jayce but I don't feel we see these parallels used in their relationship to him. I think the end point is that it's not Viktor's fault he became a villian in the end. Both him and Mel fought for what they thought was right and they both lost, it was only because of how others used Viktor that he was the reason so many people almost died.
Typical marvel gay rep: yeah 🤭 this side character is gay 🥰😜 it will only be mentioned once tho😓😣😅 and this background character has gay parents!! 😱😱😍 but the main character can't be lgbt!!🫤😖 we have to appeal to straight people 🥺🥺 for profit 🥺🥺🥺 you get it 🥰😜
Marvel with Agatha All Along for some reason: this middle aged witch is a LESBIAN and her love interest is the personification of death who is ALSO A LESBIAN and they are BITTER BITTER EXES but are STILL in love and her coven is 90 percent SAPPHICS and the only man on screen is a GAY TEENAGER and
