Whether a person has killed or not killed is irrelevant to getting furious and thinking I\'m gonna kill him/her (it does have an effect on how willing they are to actually follow through with a threat). What matters it the intent, Emerald clearly isn\'t planning on forcing the information out of Luna and he clearly isn\'t planning on actually tearing her to pieces because she won\'t tell him who Serenity is.

Also, Emerald isn\'t angry at Queen Serenity because she won\'t do what he wants. He doesn\'t explode at her until she mentions she sent the Senshi off to the heart of the Dark Kingdom, he was quite calm when he met Queen Serenity even after knowing she whisked Sailor Moon away.

Verbal jabs can be horrible, but it\\\'s a petty reason to stick on Unintentionally Unsympathetic. There are plenty of even heroic characters who make mean spirited jabs, some of which are also incredibly offensive if one thinks them through.

Mamoru\\\'s viewpoint is not the most accurate for gauging what Emerald\\\'s intent is in a fight. Who said I was saying that Emerald was sympathetic, I\\\'m arguing that his, admittedly selfish, reasons for bringing back Mamoru and his actions are understandable if not admirable.

He does consider brainwashing to be one of the worst things possible, doesn\\\'t mean he can\\\'t quip about it. That falls into GallowsHumour. Nor does that mean he\\\'s going to get emotional about it and put aside everything else. It\\\'s even noted in the story that he considered it a dilemma on what he should feel. People have mocked other people when knowing only a few details all the time, it\\\'s nothing for you to bring out like Emerald doing so is particularly shocking.

I meant that the Anti-Purification could be considered reckless. Emerald finally has a chance to accomplish his goals, it\\\'s been noted that he\\\'s worked it out and his spell is based on a formula so it\\\'s clear that he isn\\\'t just shooting his energy into the atmosphere and erasing himself on an off chance of success. The fact that he decides to goes through with it does not make him unsympathetic.

Notice that I didn\\\'t actually delete your entry. I will admit that I changed it too much and without putting in adequate reason but I did so because your initial entry had stuff out of context or worded in a way that can easily give the wrong idea. Also, Unintentionally Unsympathetic refers to instances where the author deliberately intends for a portrayal to be sympathetic and some of your examples are rather narrowed.

Would something like this fit better.

Although Emerald\\\'s ultimate intentions are good, for those who consider him an Anti-Hero, his attempts to change the established future can be seen as ineffectually fighting a lost battle based on his own vendetta and a stubborn refusal to accept the facts while only causing grief for people who neither want his help and have managed to move on past the events. The fact that he is willing to go so far as to travel into the past to get his victory arguably puts him squarely into WellIntentionedExtremist, especially combined with several morally gray things he has done.

If I recall, this fic uses the anime version of Wiseman which has a different backstory to the manga version. Still, the compromise is acceptable.

Remember we have almost no context for the incident with the tv show. The senshi could have deliberately shot the children because they were aiding Emerald, or perhaps they were aiming for Emerald and didn\\\'t expect the children to help him and killed or hurt them accidentally in the process of fighting Emerald

The Pluto thing is sort of complicated but it boils down to two things. If we take Emerald at his word and the Senshi and Serenity have become misguided in the end then it can be seen as Pluto steering the timeline into a course more in line with the canon one (changing the past would change how the whole Crystal Tokyo thing would work out with likely different versions of the Senshi). On the other hand, if Pluto is seen as a villain then, she changed the timeline because a purified Crystal Tokyo wasn\\\'t what she wanted or had in mind.

Still, considering just how fluid people can take this, in the case of Ron the Death Eater, then shouldn\\\'t we also make a case for it either being played straight or averted depending on how much we Emerald at his word?

There is also a point made that Emerald does his best not to let his emotions get the better of him and he goes to pretty extreme lengths to keep himself as mentally stable as possible. Also, what do you mean Emerald doesn\\\'t make alternative plans, he had decided that since Serenity has appeared he\\\'ll have to tail the Senshi until he finds her. He doesn\\\'t come out and threaten Luna into telling him who Serenity is, he\\\'s just angry that they know but won\\\'t tell him and he has to regroup his avenues to accomplish his goals, he doesn\\\'t see it as not being able to accomplish his goals but just a minor setback, why would he be afraid or concerned?
