#like the collector explaining themself was because they genuinely were misguided and hurt and were capable of changing

wait some of y'all don't think that death was narratively satisfying??? he spent the entire season rotting away and sloughing off of (and OUT of) bodies he was not meant to be in, grasping at a life he had outlived because he was unwilling to let go, literally got ripped out of the HEART of the world he tried so hard to destroy and then that world summoned up a 5 second rainstorm to boil him alive and burn away his facade of humanity so he could grovel at the feet of a witch and then get stomped into nothing by the denizens of the world, symbolizing the people he hurt by enforcing the covens, people ostracized and punished for not conforming, and the titan he used to manipulate people with by claiming he knew its will. what's not clicking

#personal stuff #toh #toh spoilers #LITERALLY. he wanted so badly to be the hero so for him to die quietly and pathetically with no evidence and no witnesses is so satisfying #''ooh but he didn't explain his motives'' WHO CARES #we the audience got enough of his motives to understand the idea. and honestly the people he's hurt don't NEED to know the motives #because he was utterly unrepentant to the end and was never going to change. #he went to his grave trying to emotionally manipulate a teenager and failing. #like the collector explaining themself was because they genuinely were misguided and hurt and were capable of changing #and they DID change when given support and love and care #belos was. literally never going to do that LMAO #god. and like. the magic he used this episode reminded me so much of rot and mold #and mold needs sufficient nutrients to feed off of! so for him to just quietly rot away into nothing #with nothing and no one and no palismen to feed off of. yea <3 feels good feels organic
