Are <5.0 main villain> fanboys also supportive of <6.1-6.5 main villain>? *SPOILERS*

Since Golbez seems to be a part of Azem, yes 100% and even if he wouldn't be a part of Azem. I have a nack for Villains, I prefer them more as the Scions.

Pretty sure people are talking about "Golbez" (Durante), not Contramemoria-era Golbez. They're two different people.

He is a Villain.
If you had the Power that the 3 Unsundered had and if you lost your World, without knowing what the Heck happend, would you not try to get back what was lost?
12000 years is a damn long time, for suffering. Maybe those 3 could have made it, if Lahabrea and Emet would have stayed in the Shadows.

Me, personally?

First I'd try to find out what and then why, so as to prevent it from happening again if at all possible. Going back to the old status quo would be completely meaningless if the same phenomenon just broke it again! ... but I would also recognize that going back to the old status quo is impossible no matter what you do, and so try to find a way forward.

Certainly not engage in a millennia-long genocidal campaign weakly excused by failings I engender in the new humanity! I mean, if you focus only on the bad - judge people at their worst - well, you've kind of already made up your mind, haven't you? Conversely if you look back on the past with rose-tinted goggles you'll never see, much less appreciate, the endless possibilities of the future...

Has that not been like, the core overarching message of the story since A Realm Reborn? Did I miss something somewhere?

I wish they'd thrown in some kind of remark that Golbez is just a title or "stage name" and not really the other guy's name either.

We could call the other one Theodor, anyway.
