Ah, Clu. Launcher of a thousand fics. Memetic Molester. Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.

In the film, and in Betrayal, Clu actually has a surprising amount of depth to him for a guy Disney presented to us as…

“To me, personally, Clu is pie. His top layer is one of bitter selfishness that’s flaky crust is one of evil, and while his center is a hurt son-guy the bottom part of the pie is that same bitter selfishness sans the evil because that part of the dough was protected by the aluminum tray of time.. Meaning the evil came later.”

…Best.  Description.  Ever.  BRB, dying.

Also sfgahkd oh my god.  I’ve been on Tumblr three days, you guys, posting random bullshit commentary and pointless fanwanking and I totally did not expect to be getting these kinds of responses right off the bat.  I literally posted this thing an hour ago!  I love every single one of these comments.  Excuse me while I follow all the people. ;_;

Anyway, back to the subject at hand.  I heart villains.  I heart Alternative Character Interpretations.  I heart villains who encourage Alternative Character Interpretations.  And I heart this series, because seriously there should not be this kind of encouragement of character study from a couple of films about talking software.
