One of the things that makes Megatron and the Decepticons such compelling villains is that they were initially fighting for a legitimate cause. In the Transformers lore, Megatron began as a revolutionary who opposed Cybertron’s oppressive caste system, where a bot’s role and social status were determined at birth.

He saw how the ruling class (many who would later become Autobots) either benefited from or were willfully blind to this injustice.

In that sense, Megatron was right: Cybertron needed radical reform. We even see some scenes of him educating Optimus Prime (Orion Pax) on what oppression for him was like. Megatron's name was D-16, and he suffered as worker. Optimus Prime (Orion Pax) was a clerk and was upset that he couldn't go to an amusement park.

It makes sense that Megatron resented Optimus Prime when he received the Matrix of Leadership. Megatron mentored Optimus about the caste system and its flaws, yet Optimus got it even though he didn't go through the suffering Megatron went through. Megatron's mistake was saying that it should've been removed by force. Optimus didn't say that.

With his righteous anger, it transformed into hatred, and his desire for liberation became a lust for power and domination. He turned into the very thing he despised. His motivation was justified, but his actions were not. By the time the war was in full swing, Megatron was no longer fighting to free Cybertron’s oppressed; he was fighting to rule over everyone.

Megatron proved that a just cause can be corrupted, and that you die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

If only he went about it a different way, things could've been different.

Ok, so Ted has treated several women badly.

However, I honestly felt so bad for Cook Pu. It was obviously a gag, but I genuinely felt so bad for her.

Shame on you, Ted.

I know he’s done objectively worse things, but to steal an ostrich horse from some poor girl who’s clearly not well off and hurt from the fire nation is just awful.

Who does that? That was low, even for Zuko.

It made me even more mad when he turned his back on everyone at the end of Season 2 in Ba Sing Se. That makes sense because he was choosing his destiny.

This is just cruel. And the look on her face at the end made me so sad.

I was also surprised Iroh went along with it. I guess it makes sense because he wasn’t always good and he was in exile, but still.

I truly believe this Megatron truly depicts him as a sharp, cunning, and unyielding force of evil.

First of all - he was born in the worker class and was generally a regular transformers until he became a Gladiator. His physical build and strength is almost unmatched. In terms of raw power, I feel that he's even stronger than Optimus Prime. Megatron is more of a powerhouse, while Optimus uses strategy when battling.

Megatron is power hungry, but also shows profound intelligence and tact when going about his strategies to defeat the Autobots and obtaining world domination. Across all shows, I feel that this show depicts him in the most accurate/terrifying manner.

It's sad that they're enemies. If Megatron wasn't a psycho, their combined powers would've been unmatched.

They're both the strongest transformers in the show (except for Predaking). So seeing them become allies was surreal.

For context, this is the guy who turned Haru in for using earthbending to save his life.

Yes, he may have been doing it to survive - but truly, it's just crazy to turn the innocent boy in when he saved you.

All the villains in the series are interesting enough to where I can enjoy their character enough to not dislike them on a personal level. It's a show after all.

This man is the exception.

I've watched a good amount of Yaoi, and a lot of them are good but have some themes I don't like.

This includes but is not limited to - age gaps, dubcon, or general cringiness. This anime has none of that.

It shows two characters and their internal struggles with one another. I feel that this movie shows the romantic fire between the two better than almost all Yaoi I've seen. Most other Yaoi or romantic anime in general don't depict the chemistry between two characters as well as this one.

I also really like the intimate scene they had towards the end. It was very sweet and gentle which is rare for most Yaoi.

Their relationship feels very natural and human, whereas other Yaoi relationships can feel forced.

My only reservation is that I don't think the manga is as good as the movie. I feel that it's a bit rushed and it's frustrating that they still struggle in the manga.

Regardless, this is still my favorite Yaoi and one of my favorite movies of all time.

What the title says.

This shouldn't take much explanation, but Yor is amazing.

She's a deadly assassin and in my opinion can easily win almost any mission she goes on. Her strength, speed, and agility and inhuman.

I think the show puts a lot of emphasis on Loid/Twilight's skills as a spy. This includes his intelligence, quick thinking, and agility.

However, I feel that Yor possesses these traits to a comparable manner to Loid, but her strength + those traits make her very overpowered.

We see Loid sometimes struggle on missions, whereas Yor rarely does.

It's not a competition, but I feel like it's still worth mentioning.

On the other hand, she hides the fact that she's an assassin so well and has such human qualities like trying to be a good mother or wife.

She's my favorite character so far. I'm halfway through so some of the stuff could be wrong but that's my opinion based on what I've watched.

I'm definitely going to make a post about Loid/Twilight soon because he's a very close second.
