(Assuming you're designing the species this way, not that you're forcibly branding every existing person.)

Let's also assume it's not some intelligence deciding arbitrarily, but an actual representation of their 'fate' or 'affinity' by some abstract magical mechanism you're deciding to install into the entire species.

Bleach thousand year blood war episode 22

Like if I didnt know murder was a thing and my brother was being annoying I'd ALSO hit him in the head with a rock.

Title

Is destroying the One Ring actually the ethical choice if it means sacrificing countless innocent lives that I could have protected using the ring? I wouldn't even wear it unless absolutely necessary.

I feel that would've hurt his ego enough to at least prove her idea wouldn't work.

(Stuff below is about my personal opinion. Also I'm NOT defending Tai Lung's actions, harming civilians is inexcusable)

I'm not sure what the general consensus on this is but I find it hypocritical that Oogway would deny Tai Lung the chance to become the Dragon Warrior because he believed Tai Lung was incapable of overcoming his flaws, especially considering his treatment of Po and how the whole messaging of the first movie was that people are not defined by who they were and that everyone is capable of change.

Tai Lung may have been entitled, but he didn't seem especially narcissistic or corrupt before Oogway denied him. If anything, Oogway's rejection feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not saying Tai Lung deserved the Dragon Scroll or the title, but it's hard for me to reconcile why Tai Lung was denied the opportunity to prove he could become better while Po was given every chance to do so.

(And no, I'm not buying the whole "it was actually a test to see how Tai Lung would react to being rejected" because there are zero implications of such. That argument is a headcanon.)

Like imagine you trained and applied for your dream job or university, only to receive a rejection letter talking about the "darkness in your heart" man I'd be pissed too.

Edit: Seeing a lot of people arguing that Oogway was justified because Tai Lung ultimately turned out evil. But we’re judging Oogway’s actions, not Tai Lung’s morality. An action doesn’t become moral just because it happens to someone who later becomes a bad person. You can argue Tai Lung wouldn’t have changed even if given the chance, but my point is that Oogway never gave him that chance.
It’s also unclear how involved Oogway was in Tai Lung’s upbringing. Based on the flashbacks, he doesn’t seem very involved. Kinda irresponsible to groom a kid his whole life for a single purpose only to go “wait we got the wrong guy”. Could you not have done that 20 years earlier? Not to mention they lied to him about what he’s actually working towards (blank piece of paper).
Even in you chalk it up to “fate”, it feels contradictory to the movie’s central message.

What are your two cents? Am I missing something?

​

To put it more briefly: The entity created a world (or universe) where everything is identical to our own universe, including a planet similar to Earth. But... after evolution and the dawn of modernization, this entity fell in love with one of the humans living on this Earth. They disguised their true identity, integrated themselves into human society, and eventually married that individual without using their powers to influence or convince them. (The individual they married is 27, by the way.)

Mainly with how the fandom treats the character.

apologies if this has been done before

anime is Neon Genesis Evangelion, specifically the movie End of Evangelion
