People really need Autumn's role as foil (I'm pretty sure there's a more appropriate term I can't remember at the moment) to be explained?
I mean, have you seen fandom discussions lately, pretty much anywhere? Of course Autumn needs her role in the story explained, most people expect all the good guys to be endless paragons of whatever virtue is making the rounds on tiktok that week and all the villains to be tossed off a cliff at the end - but also don't let the villain say something evil otherwise people might think he's bad. Bonus points for making him a tumblr sexyman by putting him in a suit and giving him a mild degree of charisma, that way people can pretend he did nothing at all wrong despite genociding three species and burning down a national park because nature offends him. Preferably, this somehow leads to gay sex.
The internet was a mistake, but so was underfunding our English teachers.
