So basically this is like that episode of Star Trek where a transporter accident splits Kirk into Good Kirk and Bad Kirk, only instead of the message being that both 'halves' are required to make a complete individual, now it's that if you can split all your 'evil bits' into a separate being and kill them... you should? How Doc Savage.
Like, part of what made Norman bad was his abusive upbringing, so does he not remember that now or something?
Well, the abuse was the action that created the sin... energy? That product has now been destroyed but the source that created it is still remembered. I think.
Did he get over his mental health issues too? Because that really sets a bad precedent if he did. All those people telling you to tough it out will never shut up.
Most of his mental illness issues were caused by the Goblin formula which he’s learned to manage, his ‘sins’ are something else. There was a bit in Dan Slott’s run when Norman was rendered sane and he was still evil.
Yeah, it's... it's not a good 'message' for the comic. Evil/madness is just an external force that can be shucked off like a coat, very easily if you're just a naturally 'good' person.
