Issues with Eclipse's treatment
What good behavior can you expect out of a character that has been dealt nothing but wrongs?
Eclipse has no reason to be kinder.
Eclipse spent a year abandoned in somebody's head watching a version of himself live a better life.
Eclipse has always been treated bad. So why expect anything else.
Eclipse has never treated anyone good. So no one will expect him to treat anyone good.
Eclipse will always be snarky towards moon and others because he is not expecting them to treat him any better.
Moon caused eclipse pain. Never once did he apologize for it.
Copy Eclipse still hasn't gotten his apology.
Eclipse's only goal is to figure out why he is alive. Presumably to make it so he cannot be alive ever again.
Eclipse did not want to be alive. Neither do I think the fandom did.
Eclipse is going insane due to the fact that he is essentially a zombie that keeps coming back. Each time lesser and lesser then their original self
Eclipse might be believing his insanity is normal. No one else is helping him with it. And only uses it as a slur.
Eclipse possibly has thought of reckless suicide attempts.
Eclipse is totally on board dying.
Eclipse might be angering moon to get him to lash out purposely. To trigger the bomb.
Crimes unrightfully stacking against copy eclipse who did not do them only remember.
Crimes of OG Eclipse should be there's alone.
Crimes of backup Eclipse should be there's alone.
Crimes of copy Eclipse should be there's alone.
Copy eclipses only crime is remembering the previous crimes and kidnapping ruin. The only other bad thing he does is spit threats.
Moon has essentially pinned every crime from the previous eclipses onto copy Eclipse. Putting him on a death sentence because of those crimes. And making him do manual labor or else he will expedite that death sentence.
Moon's behavior has improved very little. His behavior has best improved towards sun and closer friends. Any other behavior has stayed relatively the same.
Moon has always wanted eclipse dead. Never once was him disappearing good enough.
Moon will continue to think he is in the right because he is "always right".
Moon and Sun have continuously laughed at the villain's faults. In eclipses case it is laughing about insanity. Something caused out of mistreatment and abandonment. Something they caused.
Sun and Moon have used eclipses insanity and madness as a slur against him.
Moons abuse is worse and has stayed longer than eclipses abuse.
Sun has spent at least 8 years being abused by old moon. Enough that it has lasted even after his death.
Eclipse's harassment towards sun was never really personal. It was personal towards moon. Sun was just the easy way to harm him.
Lunar only spent a month of physical abuse under eclipse.
Eclipse's harassment towards lunar was only out of fear of losing his victory.
Never once did eclipse ever really treat lunar as a brother. He only used it as a word to compare themselves to Sun and Moon.
The fandom is ignoring moons wrongs in order to support the protagonist.
The fandom is letting this mistreatment slide despite the majority of the characters encouraging it. Believing Eclipse's mistreatment is the only way for eclipse to have a redemption.
Expecting redemption is unlikely. Eclipse has no reason to change. And sun moon have no reason to not hate him because of such.
There is not many scenarios without breaking character where they want to help eclipse get better.
Eclipse has been called an evil entity by magic people. Making his fate clear on a destiny level.
Lunar want him dead. So he can no longer see or worry about him.
Solar doesn't have an opinion because he's following Moon.
Earth doesn't believe he can change because he is too stuck in anger.
Ruin is scared of him due to his kidnapping. Also multiple outlash believing he is his creator.
Puppet finds eclipses torment hilarious.
Freddy has called eclipse an evil entity he wants gone.
Loss of a villain. The only replacement we have been offered is Sun and Moon themselves, and this mysterious entity that we do not care about.
They have shelved blood moon because making him a worse villain backfired. They changed the character too much and made the protagonists too misunderstanding of them.
They are doing the opposite of blood moon with eclipse. But they are attempting to stay in character. Making a muddled directive.
They are dragging Eclipse into the sympathy card and making their own protagonist bad guys by doing so.
They are failing to make the villains sympathetic, Because Sun and Moon are just as bad. Eclipse is unable to outcompete the bad.
This is a cycle of abuse. Eclipse will never forgive Moon, and at this point believes there is not going back. Moon will never forgive eclipse, and believes that eclipse will never change. Both are too prideful to let go.
And nothing will change until one of them or any of the other characters let go.
