He had Superboy take him to his sick sister, who was paralyzed because of an incurable cancer. For example, one time in the comics, he wanted Superboy to kill Superman. It's probably why he's Superman's greatest rival, in order to fight him he has to go beyond what any human would do. Luthor is a different kind of petty, when he puts his mind to something he'll go to any lengths to achieve it. I think he also understands what it’s like to feel responsible for horrible actions that you did when you were under the influence of a demon/not entirely yourself. He made the decision to let the demon continue to torture her and all the other people in the hotel, and now he’s ready to let her rest and give her the relief of knowing that he actually survived. ![]() I think that’s why Angel forgives her in the end. So I think she bears some responsibility for what she did to Angel, and I also think that she spent the rest of her life paying for it – trapped in a room, terrified of going out, and marinating in her guilt. ![]() And she mentioned earlier that imprisonment was exactly what she was most afraid of – being trapped like that. I also think she was punished in a similar way to how we would punish a convicted murderer – she was imprisoned for the rest of her life. Great question about whether Judy was under the spell of the demon or not! I think that she was, but that the spell is kind of like the Red Scare - it created a horrible, scary, paranoid environment, and so it’s understandable that people would make bad, self-centered decisions under those circumstances, but within that they still have some free will, and so it’s still wrong for them to “name names,” as some people did under questioning during the investigations, and as Judy did when she pointed the mob towards Angel. Not a bible thumper but Matthew 18:21-35 is I think one of the moral compasses of Angel That's the entire point of the show, saving souls and struggling for redemption. Whether or not Judy was under the influence of the spell, she deserves forgiveness. Rana was right about Dawn's actress, Michelle played the lead actress in the movie Ice Princess Please watch Buffy episode 7 and Angel episode 7 back to back!!!!ġ. See that's why I really hate that smug baldhead fucker! He'll use deals or bribery on anyone he's done something wrong to just to save himself or whatever.Ĭan y’all PLEASE react to Under the Red Hood ? Matter of fact react to the dc animated movies in general plz it's just cool to realize that his life in Sunnydale and in LA is not the first time he tried altruism, but he was better equipped in sunnydale and LA with the right people around him this time. To have that one failed attempt prove to him that he didn't care about humanity is tragic yet understandable. i think it's also interesting to realize that Angel once attempted to help people in the same way he's helping them in present day. but the demon just amped up everyone's paranoia that was already there, which is what makes the characters so compelling. I would say Judy was under the spell - everybody was. the hyperion > the magic shop in my opinion haha. this episode is one of the best angel episode. LOL i was screaming at you guys the entire episode that the bellhop was Fake Dean/Fauxby!!!! lol glad you all got there at the end. The demon WANTS them to fight and go crazy to further push their paranoia so it can feed and everyone gets left with nothing but the guilt of their actions (unless you end up deceased). The demon is taking their paranoia and amplifying it to irrationality. That's why the guest had the reaction they had after they lynched Angel. ![]() That's why everyone's behavior was escalating so dramatically, irrationally turning everyone against each other to the point of lynching. No one got the Star Wars balance training reference in Buffy?Įveryone in the hotel was under the influence of the demon. One thing that always gets me about this ep, is Judy isn't far off Angel is a serial killer, he is THE serial killer, Angelus is the template for so many of them, it hit so hard, love this ep
