"'we need more complex female characters!' y'all couldn't even handle eva stratt" goes for people who claim she's perfect and did nothing wrong too

oh absolutely. i've said before that i hope i'd be strong enough to make the same decisions in her position. that said, all of the options being bad doesn't erase that each possible decision has unique and specific ramifications that she chose. she chose to act in a way that saved all of humanity, yes, but in doing so she also chose to violate the autonomy of a person who trusted her and send him to a long and painful death against his will. she committed environmental crimes to expand the lifespan of earth, yes, but she also did so without the consent of the people whose lives it would destroy, etc, etc. erasing her choice in the matter is insulting to her character imo, because the things she chooses to kill so that others may live reveal SO much about what she values and who she is as a person, and that's what makes her so interesting as a character!

Yess, also when I wrote that she didn’t choose it, I meant being put into the position where she has the power and responsibility to decide those things, not the descisions themselves. Sorry if it was written unclear or confusing, english is not my native language. ☺️
