Now his AI is used as a commentator, and he became less "stupid", and more understanding of the MC's actions.
Honestly, I think the professor has always been on the side of "the ends don't justify the means, even if I agree with the ends", as well as "you have to consider the consequences of these violent actions", and he's gone through several phases over the course of the series. (He might have had the most character development/change of anyone in the cast.) Originally, he didn't understand what 'ends' the MC was fighting for. Once he understood those, he still wasn't sure if the MC was just a despot paying lip service to the 'ends'. He eventually started to believe that the MC really was trying to accomplish those 'ends', but he still thought that the 'means' were despicable and barbaric, no matter what goal they were in service to, and that the consequences of using those 'means' might completely undermine the 'ends'.
Really, the professor's the kind of guy who'd argue against someone who presented a bad argument for a position he agreed with, and I love him for it. Probably because I'm the same way.
I'm very interested in where his character goes from here, since he's now willing to make statements in full support of the MC when he thinks the 'means' were entirely justified.
The other one with the big mole on the check if far more stupid...
That guy was a douchebag, and I'm glad he's out of the picture. Didn't the OG professor actually beat him up once?
