Been meaning to rant about this conversation for a while now
So I'm going to comment as the video progreses
Max : The only responsible move is to take him down with all necessary force
Okay um what? No the responsible thing would be to help the guy. Look I know he's absorbed a lot of power and is insane, but hear me out.
He's not in control. Its not his fault.Somethings that's bugged me for a while is how no one ever has thought of contacting Osmos V.
Keep in mind this is before omniverse , so they hadn't really thought of the retcon yet. So in this situation Kevin is an alien.
Aggregor mentioned once something along the lines of how the elders of their planet had forbid to absorb energy. Which means they've had cases of like this before.
The elders of the planet would have to have some idea as to how to fix stuff like this right? I mean they are the elders, who better to handle the situations than those who know what's going on?
Kevin has been insane for days now, which means there's been plenty of time for the plumbers to have contacted someone on Osmos V to help them figure this out. I'm pretty sure they would soem sort of stabilisers or something.
Max : its the logical move
Again. I'm sorry but what kind of great hero are you when the most sensible thing you can think of is murder? That too on the first try. They haven't even tried to help him.
Gwen may have been love struck but she had the right idea. Still didn't get why her idea to help was shot down. Max didn't even hear her out.
Capture him, try to help, and then if all things fail, then maybe we could move on to killing --- this is sensible.
Max : you trusted him anyway
Ben : Look at how that turned out
Okay , this really made me mad. Why does Ben say this with regret? Why does he regret trusting Kevin?
Did he forget that Kevin only absorbed the omnitrix this time because HE WAS SAVING THE UNIVERSE!
Which by the way makes me wonder why Kevin never received any recognition for it. He literally sacrificed his 'humanity' to save the world and all people talk about is his insanity after.
Where are his medals? Where are his trophies?
I guess its true huh, you do a lifetime of good but slip up once and no one let's you forget it.
Max : and I'd put him down like a mad dog
Max is a plumber, considered to be amazing by the organisation.
But this conversation doesn't really show me he was a hero. He sees, he kills.
Says a lot about him and the plumbers.
You know , a part of me wants to theorise the reason why we don't see many osmosians is because the plumbers probably killed them.
The second they got crazy , the plumbers took them out without trying to help.
Max : I'm not going to argue. Just wanted to make sure you really thought about this.
The final thing i wanted to add , the main reason that made me write all this stuff is that how on earth is Max okay with letting a 16 year old boy murder his best friend.
I get Ben's this hero, but this is definitely not good for his mental health. He's just a teenager.
No wonder Ben keeps running off being a hero all the time. There's too much pressure and responsibility on him.
I'm not blaming him for wanting to kill Kevin. According to him , that seemed like the right thing, and keeping in mind he's kind of a kid, I'm letting him off the hook.
A month ago there was this whole conversation if Julie was a good girlfriend or not. A point that came up was that he puts his hero stuff first before anything and that it should be praised.
He needs to have a life. But its clearly not his fault though.
There is absolutely no need for Ben to kill someone close to him , specially at such a young age.
They can have someone else do it. The whole time this was going on , I didn't see any plumbers trying to help.
Like why not? Could they not have had a team deployed to capture Kevin? Couldnt they have helped Ben?
With a team , they could've kept Kevin in confinement somewhere, contacted osmos v, have Gwen help him etc etc.
Its not like they didn't know what was going on, kevin literally attacked two plumber areas.
The null void and the freaking academy!
Why did they, and more important max , leave ben to make a choice that is for sure going to leave him traumatised?
