Very astute. The Crow truly illustrates that what has been taken cannot be returned. The act of eliminating evil is a necessity to fix a cosmic wrong that they have wrought on the world, that the world is out of balance like the world before the flood. But god is not here to do all the work, virtuous people are tasked with throwing out the trash.

Good has got to be ferocious. It's forces should be furious and angry and let the loss fuel the fight. It might feel that the vanquishing of the perpetrators is a hollow duty because evil should have not been allowed to take what they did. But if we look to the future, a world is so much better after disposing of the agents of evil.

A bleak take, and one I never really considered, but pretty much spot on.

It's a bleak tale, inspired by a real life tragedy and haunted by another real life tragedy. Hard not to link it to dark events in our own lives.

Portentous trash. Grow up.
