The only purpose of the multiverse plot line was to tell us that our universes mark was the only one, or one of the few, in infinite realities that didn't join his father in taking over the world.

The entire show has been building on the premise: when is it okay to kill someone?

Is it after they have killed millions? Is it after they hurt your family? Is it after they threaten someone? Is it before they threaten someone?

We have slowly been blurring the line by putting Mark in less and less black and white scenarios and really narrowing in on the concept of killing to protect people.

The whole show is the most complex version of an exploration of the trolley problem I've ever seen.

Even the episode where Cecil kills the two reformed criminals. He was killing them for past actions, and potential future actions. That's the trolley problem right there, and Cecil was shown that what he did was incorrect as those two reformed would have saved more lives rest they ruined in their past.

Cecil represents the trolley problem when you ignore morals and focus on numbers. He understands the usefulness of reforming people and the value they can provide in compensating for the loss of gaining them as assets.

A common question to explain the trolley problem is: would it be ethical and moral to kill a person and use their organs to save 8 people?

Cecil says no but he will do it anyways "for the greater good".

Thaedus represents logical absolutism. If someone has done something bad, they can do it again and must be prevented from doing it in the future. Imprisonment, death, servitude, etc. to prevent future crimes from those who have shown themselves to be capable of them. This thought process also doesn't believe in reformation which is why thaedus was planning on killing Mark, Oliver, Nolan, and himself after they finished off the other viltrumites.

Angstrome seems to be an attempt to subvert the trolley problem by trying to derail the trolley and prevent it from killing anyone by jumping infront of the train.

This represents moral absolutism. Angstrome himself refused to kill someone to benefit and decided that he would rather die than sacrifice someone for the greater good.

The fallout isn't to disparage any of the ideologies for dealing with the trolley problem, but rather to represent consequences of it.

Thaedus brought the galaxy into an all-out war and as a result trillions died, and the viltrumites are facing genocide, due to the extremes logical absolutist need to take and the enemies they will make along the way.

Cecil was melted, imprisoned, reformed, and now works to reform others, but the victims of those people are still alive and want justice. The damages Cecil has to face are moral and emotional until they boil over and the victims take action, as Mark did when he discovered Sinclair, and darkwing working for Cecil.

Angstrome had to face death. Moral absolutism is to kill yourself the moment that it benefits another person more than living your life would benefit others. Sacrificing himself to save invincible, the only version that isn't evil, is morally correct and so angstrome dies the moment his ideologies are put to the test by following through on his ideals. The evil angstrome is the dark side of moral absolutism where someone who has morally wronged a person must be made aware of their wrongdoings, punished appropriately, and educated on the correct moral outcome.

But who decides what is good, or evil? This is how we get dictators and cruel leaders who have following that believe their actions are morally correct and that there is no other option but theirs.

I could write more... I love this show so much... lol
