So? Better to try to escape than be a puppet Rowan wants to use. Even if he's the only one with a plan, that doesn't change the fact that he's a villain and should disappear.

I honestly don't know why you're making excuses for Rowan. I've been reading the comments and you always seem to encourage his behaviour, making excuses for him or approve the things he does. Weird

So murdering and ending up killed since it would be the death penalty is a great plan? Saving money and running away was never an option? Besides being extremely selfish, the MC would get depressed and die because she would think it was her fault. And like Rowen said, his plan worked, it was just executed differently, meaning they aren't trying to escape, they are doing exactly what Rowen expects of them

At no point am I defending his actions, I just said he is the only one who has a plan. Saying someone has a plan doesn't mean you're defending them, I don't know if you missed reading comprehension classes, but making a statement, giving an opinion, and talking about something that is happening are different things. I get frustrated because at the beginning the MC had plans and was more calculating, and in this flashback both her and Gil are making me mad with how foolish and impulsive they are. It's like they have no sense of reality and live in a fantasy world with no consequences. This half of the story wasn't even necessary, it could have just been a plot twist showing her husband was the big villain and them getting together after that confrontation on the ice.

Lmao, hiding behind insults. I see a petty human here lol. I said what i said and that's a fact. Read your comments from before and you'll understand what i mean. You were always defending him indirectly by saying oh he's the only one... oh because he's the one who understands... oh because this and that. Plus you literally have a comment where you say you like him. Again... weird!! At least own it lol.

If someone doesn't know that they're being manipulated then hell yeah? Do you want to be a puppet? At least the ML knows the true character of Rowan, that's why he acts that way.

Also, idk why i just engaged in a conversation with you, i just remember that we had a similar discussion. You were telling me not to hate Rowan, or giving me explanation why not to. Yea... i hope never again, i'm out.

Again, girl. I can like him as villain. SHOCKING. Is the same thing as someone who likes Joker. Im sorry if pointing out the facts of what is happening makes you think im 'defending' him.

Saying that he is the only one with a plan is not the same thing as justifying his actions. As I said earlier, a statement of fact and an opinion are two different things. A statement of fact is reading him say he has a plan and noting that he is the only one who has one. An opinion would be commenting that his plan is excellent and well-crafted, or that it is terrible. I would be defending him if I were commenting things like 'He is doing all this for the MC to be free, or he is just misunderstood'.

If being petty means I have to come here and give lessons on reading comprehension, then feel free to call me petty.

Cause you were hating him too soon. Now you can that he's clearly the villain. If you guys are from de eua that can explain a lot of things . But ill also rest my case. Xoxo

Just to be clear and my last comment on this matter:

*Script Critique*: Often, writers force heroes to make illogical decisions just to stretch the story or make the villain look smarter than they actually are. Pointing this out is a critique of the characters' lack of logic, not an endorsement of the antagonist's evil deeds.

*Competent Villain*: In more complex stories, the villain actually has a strong motivation, resources, and anticipates the heroes' moves. Recognizing that the antagonist is the only one acting with strategy is simply a realistic reading of the plot.

*Actual Justification*: It would be defending the villain if you agreed with the morality of their actions (for example, thinking they are completely right to commit genocide to solve a problem).

So me saying that 'he is the only one with a plan' is not necessarily defending the villain, but rather a common critique of scriptwriting (often called a plot where the protagonist suffer from "induced stupidity"). CASE CLOSED

i’m dead ur like the only one defending this man please
