what are you talking about? Cooper is a psychopath and a serial killer who sells people for their organs.I think that they went a little heavy handed with having every character be morally gray and ambiguous; almost as if it was a policy for the script writers.
I initially wanted to say "naif" in my post too but I think that's wrong since 1) strictly speaking naif is masculine and naive is feminine and 2) apparently naive can also be used as a noun just the same as naif (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/naive#Noun)That's a problem because it makes Lucy a hopeless naif who can't learn from her mistakes before the season finale, while Maximus is a drooling moron who doesn't even understand the world he grew up in.
Cooper is temporally split between post and pre-war; a man of two extremes, and foreshadowed by Wilzig's comment about still being/wanting the same after adapting to the new state of the world; becoming entirely different. Everyone else has a good and a nasty side to them.what are you talking about? Cooper is a psychopath and a serial killer who sells people for their organs.
I'd argue that little about Cooper has actually changed, and that his self as the "Ghoul" is an unmasking of the facade he lived in pre-war America. He's not a morally complex character, he's a narcissistic chauvinist who is constantly indulging his base desires at the expense of other peoples' lives. He cares only about the things that concern himself personally, and has left a two hundred year wake of carnage behind him in the single-minded pursuit of an ancient vendetta. These are all rich character traits, but they're not morally grey or ambiguous.Cooper is temporally split between post and pre-war; a man of two extremes, and foreshadowed by Wilzig's comment about still being/wanting the same after adapting to the new state of the world; becoming entirely different.

You think so?
I mean, Titus had it coming.
At what point (post war) was he not evil? Being amicable to someone (when they are useful) is not evidence of goodness; it's pragmatism.A big problem with the show is that we don't get ENOUGH of Cooper being evil.
Maximus shows nearly no emotion for many episodes unless it's when he realises he can abuse someone, either raiders or Bo from Superstore.You think so?
