When an opponent's explicit goal is to murder your friends, that's more than enough justification to use whatever force necessary to prevent that. You know, siding with antagonists who are intentionally designed to be stereotypically evil doesn't make you appear insightful or interesting. It just shows you for the hipster you are.Now, if the antagonists actually had depth you might have an argument. Hell, I view The Controller as the tragic hero of Brave New World even though the plebeian consensus is that he's the villain. But that's because such literary works have a level of depth that isn't found in this production. Not that the show isn't good, it's just that most of the characters are one dimensional.And rooting for a one dimensional villain is like being a Satanist. It's pathetic.

ikr! it broke my heart to see shikamaru like that...and he's not even my MOST favorite character
