Well he was certainly a properly developed character. I still don't know about that second part.

It isn't his background you need to understand! Everything you need to know happened during the show. He was dedicated to following his father's vision of a perfect world, and because he hugely misunderstood what that meant, he felt betrayed by him and ended up deciding the only way to achieve that vision was to kill him and do it himself, the "right" way.

I'm the audience too, aren't I? I can understand why you'd feel that way, and if what Ghost is doing fundamentally doesn't click with you like that, then that's fine, but I can't stress enough that just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad.

I'd stick up for Fourze's ending too, since it also makes perfect sense to the themes of the show, but I think Adel's portrayal is leagues above Gamou's. I know you don't see it, but I assure you Ghost has done a way better job with its main villain than that show.
