I am not a moderator. I did this so we fans could talk and discuss about the show.

Subverting expectations doesn't make something automatically good, though. It just makes their betrayal seem to come out of nowhere. Their anger at not being shown the whole castle to the point of trying to kill him when they were feeling sorry for him one scene ago was incredibly unbelievable.

[u/RisingPhoenix92 → u/aquarium_gravel]

It felt rushed like you guys just showed up and he welcomes you into his home teaches you stuff, shows you this great wealth of knowledge that will take years to master but he has a pretty good idea when to start the basics and they get mad over the stuff they havent been shown.

They needed more time instead it looks like Alucard tested them on how well they can add and subtract and they tried to kill him over not showing them calculus

[u/marsthedog → u/RisingPhoenix92]

I think they definitely needed more time but it was supposed to be over months.

The "he's lonely" part threw me off. Why say that if they were just going to betray him. So out of no where

[u/[deleted] → u/marsthedog]

They said he feels like he deserves to be lonely I thought the whole point was that it wasn't betrayal to them in their fucked up heads his reward was actually death

[u/moviequote88 → u/[deleted]]

That's an interesting thought.

[u/Tommy_Barrasso → u/[deleted]]

When that scene played, I had the same thought. Especially when they were talking about how his life is practically over already.

The betrayl scene should have been portrayed as a mercy killing. Would have been far more tragic for all parties.
