I've found the personification of Doom, as a literal character, to be rather more sympathetic over the average misunderstood hero, even given his desire for destruction at the outset. He is a force of nature that is essentially unstoppable, until the end, which means every moment of creation creates even greater weight on him as he is there to ineviteably strip these things away. At this point, he has probably caused more individual destruction over the course of his existence (and will in the future) than he would if he were to end the world right now. He may even quantify it as causing less misery, because in his reality this is just an endless cycle of pain for him and others, as he often doesn’t get to see the good and is privy to only all the worst of his own destruction.
So his conflict has never been a simple “I’m sad/mad so I want the whole world to suffer” situation, but more of a “I’m tired of this endless cycle of destruction that will only bring more pain and suffering for everyone involved, present and future” sort of deal. He is obviously still very wrong for this, but the scope of his conflict has been rather compelling for me. The fact that his deal for destruction ironically led him back into the path of realizing how short-sighted he was in not ackowledging all the things about life that make it worth living has been simultaneuously satisfying and sad to watch for me, as it truly conveyed how disconnected he’d been from all the good parts of existence. Admittedly, some moments/progressions could certainly be better executed, but I’ve mostly been satisfied.
Rather than eating up the comment section with "why aren't people liking this" sort of comments, I think it would be better to just share why you enjoy the show. Bring up something unique or satisfying it has done for you. I promise comments like those will be much more effective at drawing interest.
Funnily enough, though I actually understand a bit of the criticism, there's a lot I'm enjoying about this. May write a few comments to break down my reasons further, but, for now, I'll just share some thoughts on Myeol-mang below.
