#they were causing more problems because those EVO were kept locked up for a reason

Me watching the episode “Exposed” for the first time as a kid: haha Rex wants the news station to give him attention

Me rewatching that episode now, coming to the realization that the reason Rex wants so much attention from the camera crew is because he’s been disregarded so many times in his life as nothing more than a weapon and has never received any attention from other people besides Holiday and Six that aren’t negative for so long, which also explains why he’s such a people-pleaser, since he just wants positive attention and be accepted outside of just being a literal weapon:

#everyday I think about the implications of Rex living in Providence #and how ridiculously fucked up it was for a literal child to be there #ah the moral ambiguity of Generator Rex will forever make me lose it #its so goddamn interesting #honestly if it weren’t for the fact that Rex was an EVO id like to think CPS would have Providence’s head by now #its kinda like an X-Men thing but worse since no one out there is really fighting for like EVOs rights as living breathing creatures #the majority of people just accepts the fact that these things are just monster and nothing more #not to say that there aren’t people out there who care about EVOs #there was that one group who kept freeing wild EVOs but that’s also another side of the coin really #they were causing more problems because those EVO were kept locked up for a reason #they’re dangerous and having them out in the wild would be recklessly stupid #characters like Hunter Cain are people who don’t think EVOs deserve to live #meanwhile there also people who would free wild and dangerous EVOs who could definitely kill a human #its just. so nuance and it makes me want to go feral #Providence does so much dehumanization its kinda ridiculous #its fucked up but thats what makes it so compelling for me #maybe I *should* write an essay on this show at some point #generator rex #the fire burns #rex salazar
