Good Glaux, I should've done this so long ago!

Would it be wrong for me to say that Kludd in the movies ( before he joined the Pure Ones ) could have been redeemed ?

In the books Kludd was gone and taken over as Metalbeak long before any important events happened , meanwhile in the movies Kludd never ends up as Metalbeak ( only implied ) and he's still a fledgling...

I feel like with how the movie was possibly due to limited run time , Kludd just seemed liked a neglected kid that ended up being manipulated into a child soldier rather than someone who was truly bad .

In the films Noctus seemed less kind towards Kludd and generally dismissive of him because Noctus focused more on Soren being the "dreamer" . I think it's an interesting direction to take with Kludd's character but quite jarring when I first watched the movie after I finished the books 😮

Of course Kludd was quite a bit of a jerk towards Soren but nothing that he couldn't mature from , it seemed more like older teen angst and frustration with his family...
