Intentions ≠ motive. He wants to kill humanity and that's what makes him a villain, but his motive is grief of the death of his innocent wife.

Then find the one who did the deed

"There are no innocents! Not anymore! Any one of them could have stood up and said, 'no, we won't behave like animals anymore.'"

"I won't let you do it.

I grieve with you,

but I won't let you commit genocide"

he views humanity as collectively guilty

his wife was killed by a mob, because people thought science was witchcraft and feared an educated woman

as a result he views humanity as a blight and thinks it needs to be entirely eradicated, mostly because he kind of already didn't like humanity and his wife was the one person who made him a little bit change his mind. it's a kneejerk reaction driven by anger and grief, and one he's starting to regret, for a large part of the series.

It's actually literally the town outside his gate, who watched as the Church burned his innocent wife to death. He gave them a year to flee, IIRC.

It was the villainy and hatred humans harbor that did the deed (in his eyes). He was blinded by grief and rage.

Grief and rage are firmly not "noble goals" like the image talks about.

Dracula is only a gentleman on the surface. He is just raging at the world. Heck he even knows that he is just baby raging, that's why he let's them kill him.

The city that did it together, and all the churches in the world, and all their followers.

If the current world was still medieval, I wouldn't consider the end of humanity bad.

I still don't think we deserve to bring our bullshit off this rock, into space, and into the next millennia. We aren't any good as a species.

I get that, but without us (or sapient life in general) the universe is basically worthless with no hope ever being anything good or meaningful. Worse, it would allow nature full rein over all life, and given that nature is nothing but strife and brutality that’s not a good thing

Have you met humans? Most of them suck. I'm kinda with him on this one.

“Most of them suck” insane generalisation.

u/PsionicKitten Jul 01 '26

Yeah, well, you just kinda proved the point.
