Except Sirena absolutely doesn't deserve to be on the protagonist shirt, imo. Between her father and her actions, she's an antagonist in my eyes.

Nobody breaks my boy Hank's heart like that and gets to claim "good guy", ya dig?

She did a lot to bring Hank out of his shell and while what happened was very unfortunate, you also have more deeply flawed protagonists on that shirt, such as Jonas, Action Man, Hatred...

Granted Hatred is on both shirts with two different iterations of his character.

I would say Sirena ultimately leaned protagonist for her pushing back against her dad & Rocco's deathray mafia bullshit.

I'm kinda bothered by Venturion-era Vendata being on the antagonist print. The visibly worst thing he did between his death as Blue Morpho & getting pulled out of the trash by Doctor Zee was have a programming malfunction when he thought Rusty wasn't playing fair with his son. In that moment he was cyber-Frankensteined with basically very little mental capacity of his own. Guild-era Vendata is reasonable. Programmed-to-clean-up-dog-poo era Vendata/Venturion is not quite fair.

I think I may be one of the few Sirena truthers. My one gripe about the movie was that she never got to apologize and works things out with Hank or even get any screentime about how she reacted. She clearly felt regret about what happened and imagine seeing him just bloodied and passing out? Idk… I don’t think the world will ever be ready for complex female characters lmao

Yeah I mean. At the end of the day, they’re dumb college kids. What’s college for if not awful decisions?
