When I first saw Heroes and Monsters, and heard Garrett say the line, "What you want, is impossible," I was stunned by the delivery and the line itself. This was because it implied something different about Adam - namely a cynical (to say the least) man who has seen some shit happen to him and the world around him.

To be honest, I thought Adam should be a more sympathetic character like Ilia. This characterization of him as a Hate Sink makes me feel like he is under-developed in the black and white morality, when he could be a nuanced, morally gray character, that suits a nuanced context of the race relations too. Instead, he is thus far made into a straw punching bag bad guy. I hope this changes in the future as we learn more about him.
