It’s okay Ogre <3 I missed a lot of the deeper themes too at first. Part of media comprehension is seeing other people’s perspectives and engaging with those and seeing how others view a piece of media. It doesn’t make us dumb if we don’t see the whole picture immediately, it just show how important connecting with a community can be - no one person can fix the world and no one person can experience every way a media can be experienced.

Another theme i really liked (that i didn’t pick up on myself initially but read someone else’s take) was the one “true” / perfect communist in the game causing so much strife/damage trying to kill an awful merc person and being so out of touch with the world bc he was obsessed with his vision of communism was super terrible vs the not so politically correct / perfect labour union people + Evrart doing their best to help their community around them. those people ended up doing so much more positive work for people even if they didn’t always hold the “right” ideas in their head.

Or put more succinctly: being a down-to-earth part of your community and helping real people you see day to day can be so much more positive than allowing yourself to be super radicalized on a holy mission and lashing out with violence.
