I like how in every single iteration of Adam he is clearly a completely insufferable pompous fop that needs a swirly. At no point did he every approach being tolerable. It's great.

Yeah. You learn more about Eve and it turns out he's a good boy who would've been pretty chill under other circumstances. You learn more about Adam and all you get is that he's just as much of a smug dick under the surface. Eve deserves better.

Oh, haha. I thought you were specifically referring to the SAC game because of the Cavia connection.
I never played it, but wouldn't be surprised if it had a half-hour cutscene of Tachikoma discussing the meaning of life.

Taking a guess at the first one, "it doesn't even work right since she goofs the first shot"? 3rd and 4th should be "are" and "additional" respectively.

He literally had a monologue about hate in his final boss fight.

He was hated and attacked from the moment he was born. It left a strong impression.

No he didn't. He monologued about how the essence of humanity is conflict, which is a different concept than hate. And then he had this ONE line that used the word "hate""

The Dark Id posted:









YEEEEEES! That’s it! That’s the feeling! PURE HATE!


This really didn't do anything to show that he was in love with the idea of hate. It shows that he was really happy 2B was getting into this fight now, because he really wanted conflict and to face death.


Oxxidation posted:

Eh, even then, he didn't seem to harbor any particularly strong feelings towards the androids that attacked him. Every time the Super Eden Brothers showed up, they cordially chatted with the androids and asked if they could deliver humans for analysis and killing. Adam didn't really act like he was holding a personal hate-boner grudge.

My interpretation is that after he was attacked by 2B and 9S in the desert at the start, Adam scoured the Machine records of humans trying to put some perspective on why they would hate and attack him the moment he was born. He probably trapped himself in a Wikipedia hellhole of researching every possible types of human conflict, until it turned into an obsession.

Adam never truly felt hate anyways. He had no catalyst for it. Eve's the one who actually hated.

Yeah, Adam doesn't experience hate himself; he wants to study it.

Edit: it's why he gets so excited when 2B starts to get angry at him. Finally, some first hand data!

That's actually a good take. Being attacked at birth has his motives more like "holy poo poo these people are pissed off I need to get to the bottom of this" rather than "grr I'm so mad now"
