Gundam Legilis wrote: Chishio, there was a sign about Adam that I saw all the way back in Heroes and Monsters. The line, "What you want, is impossible!" combined with Garrett's angry delivery, implied that Adam had experienced something horrible within his life that caused all of his cynicism. To me, it implied that there was a real darker side to him, a part of him that had been hurt so deeply and terribly.

Yet, for all its worth, we still haven't seen that side yet. Rather, his portrayal makes him look like a one-dimensional caricature that presents a black and white morality, rather than a gray morality that raises points every now and then. We still don't see the raison d'etre for all of his vengeance towards mankind, his despair event horizon. It's as if they're trying so hard to make him a Hate Sink as if to rub it into our heads as if he is a vengeful, monstrous force of nature.

And what I can surmise about Sienna is that she represents the cartoon version of Khan, who reperesents the supreme authority of the jungle, keeping law and order and reason within the jungle, only deeming it necessary to kill Mowgli (humanity in Remnant's case) to protect the jungle, as opposed to the Live Action Khan.

P.S. I wouldn't compare Adam to the KKK, rather, an apt comparison would be a certain pan-African supremacist Youtuber... Hmm, true, true. Though, they may, for some reason, not see fit to show what caused Adam to be this way just yet. I also can't help but think about how, in Beauty and the Beast, the villagers saw Beast as nothing but a terrifying, dangerous monster, and it was only after Belle became his prisoner that she eventually started seeing there was more to him than that and that he was acting that way because of his pain.

Well Lionheart is really between a rock and a hard place. Wonder why Salem lashed out at him? Maybe because of the tone he took with her, telling her to hurry. I kinda took her lashing out as "Don't you dare tell me what to do! I am the one in charge here, and you are the pitiful coward who follows my orders!"
