Talk:A Monster's Redemption (Ben 10: Heroes of Evolution)/@comment-24307409-20140820232141/@comment-16747922-20140821003924

Oh my god, I'm so glad you're getting all the feelings that I expected (and wanted) people to have!

I wrote the ending prior to the middle segment of the episode and during that time, I hadn't even written all those murders from before so I sympathized with Darkstar to the fullest and was able to get all those suicidal points only by taking his perspective. And after painting him as a monster and switching so many perspectives the end came as powerful as it could ever be - I intended for the story to be tragic and intially sympathized with Darkstar so yes, I guess it's ideal if you felt sorry for him.

It's a sad tale even to me, how his homicidal mind kept trying to fix itself and Ben was forced to follow through on his own intentions merely because he was uninformed of the context. What's even worse is that Wilson was the only one to sympathize with him but Darkstar's previous actions suppressed the magnitude of his intentions. Wilson was merely scared and everyone's actions were justified - in a way Darkstar got what he wanted, but all these feelings combined made up the result of his death, which even I found to be a huge liberty to take with the show. Thank you so much for reading this.
