A Father to His Men | |
The Point / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
A Father to His Men: Subverted with Colonel Rhodes. He tells Scarlett that in a way he considers the post-humans at the Point his children since he gave the order which resulted in most of his men, including Scarlett's father, being affected by a gas, then gave them experimental therapy which resulted in their offspring developing powers. But it is obvious that he sees them more as weapons than people and will not hesitate to subject them to inhuman torture to get them to comply. | |

Abusive Parents | |
The Point / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: As a result of the gas that affected Rhodes and his crew, and experimental treatment, the former soldiers who would go on to father the post-humans all experienced mental issues. In many cases resulting in abusive treatment of those close to them. Scarlets father became rather irritable and would hit her brother. Though she was never beat by him she did hold some resentment. But she later comes to realize that for all her fathers faults he does genuinely love his family and that he made conscious effort to repress his worse urges for their sake. At the end he and Scarlett are on good terms. Scarlett's brother, who was beat by their father, would get angry and hit Scarlett when they were younger because she was constantly letting the family down. Scarletts love interest Kyeong had a father who was so messed up from the experience that he eventually murdered his whole family and had to be killed by him. | |
