Zenos too stupid to be a villain?

Intelligence, or lack thereof, does not prevent one from becoming a villain, especially when one has the power to commit villainous acts.

So we’re still supposed to feel threatened by this big baby when it’s really the Ascian pulling the strings?

I think they took the “son” thing too far and turned him (Zenos) into an angsty teenager with no friends.

What does feeling threatened has to do with Zenos being a villain? I never felt threatened by Emet, and he's a villain.

And threat is not intelligence either.

Um, everything? You didn’t get life-threatening or world-threatening vibes from those villains? I think you’re doing it (RPGing) wrong.

Life-threatening and world-threatening to others? Sure. I get that from Zenos too as he's killed people. Threatening to me? Nope. Even when my character die, I'll just get stronger and eventually beat them. That's the right way to do RPG. If I'm going to be scared because the enemy might kill me permanently, then I'll never step out of the starting area at level 1. A good RPG always provides a way for my character to win.
