Yep, I’m gonna lose followers for posting this, but it has to be said.
I unironically think, though still a terrible character anyhow, that Black Doom is a MUCH better villain than Mephiles ever was.
Black Doom had the power of forcing Shadow to relive the worst day of his life and even possibly brainwash him to believe that he actually slaughtered every G.U.N. soldier that day.
Mephiles… showed Shadow his own T-posing model to convince him that humans bad.
