i find it funny that the whole wkm thing we were expecting it to be spooky and full of mystery and like omg mark died who’s the killer??? sort of thing, but no way we’re met with so much heartbreak in the end. (also tons of love for the jims but still lol)
i love the take that mark and his team took on these characters, that yes they’re evil and not to be trusted, but we see why they act the way that they do and this series shows just where they came from. and that’s why i love origins, so we get a better sense of understanding about these characters.
and what’s even cooler is that mark didn’t have to do this, he could have dropped these characters at any time, but he didn’t. he decided to write more about them, create more lore, give them tragic backstories, develop them in how he wants them. and we freaking love it and love him for it.
but i definitely agree, both dark and wilford deserve better. 💜
They are so broken and instead of seeing them as evil we see them as in need of fixing and that we can somehow help them but in the end sometimes there is no happy ending and they cant be helped…
