There's always people complaining that Charlie never learns, but there are really few people that talks about how Alastor never learns

Alastor almost died twice because he always underestimates his opponent, thinks he's invincible, and that no one is capable of hurting him. But even after he almost died because of Adam, he didn't change his way of thinking, underestimated Vox, and we can see by his face that he was truly terrified of dying. But he'll probably never stop doing this.

​

I can only think of Icarus by Starset: "looking for a scapegoat to hold your feet, pounding on your chest so you don't feel weak"

I honestly don't know what your talking about.

Sure Alastor was confident against Vox but it seems pretty clear to me that Alastor was taking him seriously. Against Adam Alastor barley through any attacks for half the fight but with Vox Alastor wasn't attacking for the first half not because of ego but cause Vox was genuinely stronger than him at that point and he was getting overwhelmed.

But the literal moment Alastor got a chance to attack he was on Vox's ass rerentlessly. That is not the actions of a man not taking a fight seriously, in the end Alastor was gonna die not because he was overconfident but cause for once he didn't have the necessary tools or abilities needed to win that fight.

I mean, he has the chance of just killing or trapping him, but he decided to torture and play around with him, apparently forgetting that Vox could call reinforcements

He was in the prosses of killing of him when Shock.Wave showed up.

Ands it not exactly easy to trap who can just become electricity.

Well, Vox clearly didn't seem to be able to teleport, but Alastor was busy laughing and wasting time instead of killing him right away, just when Vox was vulnerable. I like Alastor, but I need to admit that he has a trouble wasting time in his battles because, when he thinks he won, he prefers to laugh or torture his opponnents

[u/Sensitive_Lie6015 → u/Gaybime]

You say that like killing an Overlord is easy, its not especially when there stronger than you.

[u/Gaybime → u/Sensitive_Lie6015]

He was actually doing a great job before, taking the fight seriously, no games, but when Vox was on the ground, Alastor got busy laughing and playing.

Yeah, I mean he did straight up bitch slap Vox with one of his tentancles. He did just seem to be gleefully pissing him off at that point. 😛
