No but if they are as shallow as "wouldn't a dude just out of prison for 3 years want a blow job regardless of any of the surrounding circumstances in the moment?" they're gd idiots.

"they made him believe that the flame was destroyed because they felt these people were savages"
That was because other Grounders *were* trying to destroy the Flame, and the Flamekeeper wanted to protect it.

Abby has turned into my least favorite character this arc, because she keeps willfully ruining everything.

Lydia is a biblical name, so I think it works with the same rules.

Aunt is a classification, I believe. Lydia may not be her birthname but it's unique to her.

LMD May blew up the base.

3D printer created from Darkhold magic by an alternate reality version of Fitz isn't creative enough?

Ward is responsible for all of his choices, but the circumstances presenting those choices aren't solely under his control. Same for us. Nothing is done in a vacuum.
We're seeing the same concept explored in reverse with Framework!Fitz and how a 'good' person could also easily do shitty things in other given…

Ultron's motivations were just "20 second montage of news reels" wasn't it?

Every Nazi was something else before they were a Nazi. Doesn't make them less of Nazis. HYDRA as contemporary society knows it, a militaristic espionage institution, was very much Nazis.

Do Chinese-Americans wear ethnically distinct outfits?
