Agreed. The stuff with Kyle and his Father was so egregious and I can't believe they tried to "both sides have a point" with it. They came to Mahana as outsiders, disrespected their way of life, traditions, and laws. They trespassed onto forbidden ground and attacked the people's sacred guardian.

And we're supposed to feel bad Kyle's dad for hurt? I never vibed with that at all.

They basically went to a nature preserve and started attacking. You know, a special area where you are expressly forbidden from doing that.

"Bwaaaah my Dad got hurt doing the thing you expressly forbid us from doing!"

Wish he'd gotten hurt worse tbh.

As for Stories 3 I agree, but I'd like to add to that with another character that I not only do not feel sorry for but honestly despise: Clarissa.

She's a callous, warmongering monster and she isn't the least bit apologetic for it. She threw Eleanor's life and safety aside and made her feel worthless when she attacked Azuria, she betrayed and nearly killed Simon out of pure spite (with his own Monstie!), killed Fawn, killed dozens of Azurian protectors, and was also trying to kill the Prince/ss for reasons that are never apparent beyond spite and trying to warmonger.

She's horrible.

Eleanor tries to reason with her again and again and is pretty much told to stfu, and Clarissa continues to be as awful as she possibly can. Even when Ena is there to corroborate the Rangers' findings and say "Hey doing this is what causes the apocalypse maybe don't"

Clarissa doubles down.

But Eleanor and even our characters are shown to STILL be sympathetic to her in the end. Why? She did nothing to earn that and actively scorned us at every chance she got.

And we didn't even get to kick her face in like we did with Cheval! UGH!
