I struggle to classify them as chaotic good. They use their morality to justify the infinite torture and suffering of evildoers and seem to take sick pleasure in that suffering.
That’s lawful neutral. He picks people who broke his code, then uses that to justify his punishment, which any system would consider cruel and unusual.
I would call that neutral evil actually. It doesn’t seem like he actually cares about the transgressions of his victims, he just knows that society won’t punish him for his actions. He’s maximizing harm while protecting himself.
Of the ones I watched, it mostly seemed pretty fair. The leprechaun wanted people’s souls, which would presumably involve infinite torture. Probably not as bad, but the leprechaun probably wasn’t just going to do it once. He did make the Medusa’s imprisonment extra uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem significantly worse than what she was trying to do to him. It’s not clear what the succubus would do, but I’m guessing she just kills them. And he made her death a little worse than needs be, but ultimately dying is the worst part of it and she’s presumably killing people regularly.
Though the pegasus seems to be an exception. What he was doing probably was on par with the punishment he got, but I don’t think the barbarian knew anything about it. The best I could say is maybe the barbarian didn’t know he was sapient.
Still, he doesn’t seem like a good person.
So he’s lawful neutral. It’s blood for blood and by the gallon.
I still think he’s evil. But his punishments at least happen to be just.
Honestly, I’m wondering if it’s just a world full of horrible people. The barbarian is evil, and everyone he harms is also evil because everyone is evil.
As soon as he said “if you’re able” I knew the Leprechaun would win all the games, but ultimately lose overall 🤣
I enjoy this series but I suspect the creator has some… troubling… worldviews.
The first couple were fun, but as the series continues it gets more and more unsettling.
Why do you say that?
Nothing I can point to specifically. Just giving incel vibes. So I mean I could be wrong, that’s why I phrased it so uncertainly.
But I mean a lot of the plot focuses on evil hot women and how rejecting them is the path to righteousness or something like that. Also that they (and other baddies) deserve to be tortured endlessly for their crimes. Again, there’s no specific statement or anything that is itself problematic. But it does make me wonder about the type of person who would include such themes in art they create.
