Ok I know a lot of people don’t like Bronev or make him out to be abusive as a result but I think its so much more interesting if he isnt?
It was said on multiple occasion that he was a good person that got consumed by his obsession with the Azrans
He’s just an asshole who selfishly made all the wrong decisions justifying himself by having to make sacrifices that ultimately hurt the sacrificed people, among which is his family, significantly more than himself.
And that creates so many interesting conflicted and contradicting relationships with various characters!! Bronev is an interesting villain!!
#professor layton#bronev#leon bronev#by sacrifices i mean rachel and his sons as well as emmy#probably also the people targent killed and blackmailed#like he literally says he wants the azran legacy for the betterment and improvement w technology for humanity or something#but any normal person would know that maybe killing a hell of a lot of people in the name of greater good isnt....actually a good path#i think bronev just keeps saying (to others AND himself) that 'oh no look my story is so tragic my wife is dead i had to leave my kids....'#he didnt even follow up on his wife's last wishes#shes like 'i wish i couldve seen our kids again.....our dream lives on within you :)'#and hes like 'yes rachel i know what i must do.....take over targent and create a corrupt military organisation that kills people for profit#also emmy layton and descole with bronev are such interesting relationships bc theyre all different#also ive had several people in the notes of my art going 'oh yea bronev probably emotionally neglected her' or#'she probably didnt have too great of a life etc etc'#and like i think no! i think it was okay for the most part and post story she still likes bronev. visits him in prison. sends him letters#but feels SO goddamn guilty that she does like this person who obviously did so many bad things especially to people she knew too like layto
