He thinks that he's going to be a good Survivor because he's cynical and has given up hope, which, being cynical and having given up hope, he sees as a good thing. So the fact that these negative emotions attracted the Grimm that ended up killing him is just showing that he really was completely wrong, which is fitting since what he was saying was a complete antithesis to Ruby's main worldview. No offense, but this sounds simply dumb.

"He thinks he's going to be a good survivor because he's cynical and has given up hope, which, being cynical and having given up on hope, he sees as a good thing". <-This is specially stupid.

For starters, if he was cynical and had given up on hope, why would that make him think he's a good survivor? Neither have nothing to do with the other. If anything, if he was so cynical and hopeless, he would see it as a bad thing.

Being cynical and hopeless, does not make someone think they're a good survivor. And being cynical and hopeless, does not mean they would see being cynical and hopeless as a good thing. When the hell have you ever heard someone say that they are hopeless cynicals because they think it's good?

And it doesn't change how his death is BS and cheap. Heck, nothing he ever said until then implied he saw himself as a survivalist. Much less a good survivalist that always survives no matter what. It felt like it was added at the last minute in a desperate attempt at making his death ironic to try to make it seem less cheap.
