I like princess Mononoke, but the "muuh they make coal and iron therefore evil" is overly silly for villains lol
Villains in media are almost never portrayed as real people, they're always fundamentally flawed in some way.
One of the reasons why honzuki is my favorite book series of all time is because truly there's no villain.
Even people who are obviously antagonistic to RM (and ehrenfrsf, and yurgenschmidt) have very believable reasons for being who they are. No spoilers, but Georgine has a reason for being a bitch, as does Gervasio (if you don't know the name don't look it up, huge spoiler). I may not agree with their reasoning but it feels human.
The only ones whose reasoning for their behavior is hard to understand (tho still there) is the gods, and I think making them hard to understand that may have been a conscious choice by Miya Kazuki (who I truly think is the greatest writer alive today, possibly ever).
Oof, heavy disagree with most of this.
But I'm glad we both see the significance of Orb 🤝
