YMMV / Extreme Prejudice (2019)

Go To

  • Broken Aesop: The story attempts to make a point that Fraser's past doesn't excuse his actions, but his motives appear to have little to do with that anyway, as it's implied that he's just a sociopath who enjoys hurting people and Fraser himself states that he doesn't think of it as an excuse.
  • Complete Monster: Fraser Barton Colborne starts out as a mere Jerkass who becomes far worse. After being rude to his coworker Garth Mason, who was trying to help him deal with Madison Craig, a customer flirting with the unwilling Fraser, Fraser decides to take revenge on people who have wronged him, no matter how slight, as well as those who did nothing. After writing in his notebook that "human beings are inherently worthless" whose value is only how much they can hurt others, Fraser, who wants to wield the power of life and death over others, seduces Madison, before killing her, as well as killing her brother. He then goes to the local mall and proceeds to kill over 70 civilians—men, women, and children—as well as 6 police officers, before finally being arrested. Numerous excuses are offered for Fraser's actions, but his own foster sister refutes these, with Fraser himself admitting he knows his motivations are petty, but not caring.
