My heart just broke…
So, I was rethinking about the ending of WKM and thinking about it made my heart break once I took a deeper look into it and now I view the characters way differently then I did before.
The Colonel used to be a man who had much love and light in his life. He was a colonel, a freaking army officer, someone that children and adults would admire. But then he lost the love and light in his life. He went insane because he lost everything, and was no longer his real self. William then became Warfstache out if shear madness.
That makes me view Warfstache differently. I used to see a goofy killer that doesn’t seem to see he’s killing and hurting people because he’s just oblivious to everything. I thought that Wilford was a cold blooded killer who was just insane for a while. The way he speaks, the movements he makes, that silly mustache made me view him as a goofy character after watching more videos of him. But now I see a man who went insane because he lost his loved ones and thinks that everyone who dies will come back because killing them was just a joke, just an accident. He thinks that he can just kill people, just anyone as a joke. The madness swirling in his brain makes him think this way, because we came back. And I think that deep down in Wilford’s brain of madness, he remembers Celine and Damien. He still thinks that they will pop out of nowhere and share a laugh with him, because it was just a joke that they died.
Damien was a mayor, a trustworthy man, a man who wanted the best for everyone. He had a light aura, a shiny glint in his eye. He wanted to protect everyone, and wanted everyone to live as they wanted and to choose their own life. But that changed, once everything he had was taken away. He was forced to become the dark equivalent of Mark, and he didn’t have a choice. So he thought the only way to get everything back was to lead people into his trap, make people view him trustworthy again, and use it to make people love him again rather then Mark.
And that makes me view Dark differently. I used to view an evil man who takes people under his control to bring Mark down, this demon who would seduce people to take his side. I mean, he sent literal chills up my spine when I first saw him in ADWM. I actually didn’t like him for a while because of the way he spoke to the viewer, just the way he spoke as a whole and that he would seduce people under his wing made me not trust him, but ended up liking him as a cool ego after a while. But, now I view him as a man who just wants everything back, wants everything that he’s lost. He wanted everyone to live life as they chose, but he didn’t get to choose his life. He now tries to show people he’s trustworthy again by seducing them, by giving people want they want. He wants to be Damien again, to have the light aura and glimmer in his eye instead of the dark, glitching aura and the darkness in his eyes.
All of this breaks my heart over and over again looking into the depths of the background of these characters. I love that Mark made WKM, because the fans love it and it shows the origins of Wilford and Dark. But Mark also showed that these characters that seem to be heartless had feelings, had a life. But it breaks my heart…
I’m sorry if ya got emotional.
