Now, I'm not usually into over-analysis like this, but I just thought this was interesting.RockstarRaccoon wrote:I can't wait to see what Pete does.
Finally, it looks like we get to see what his intentions are, and why Tarot was so afraid of him.
Edit: I looked back just now, because of all the debate, and I noticed that the full description she gave was (transcribed verbatim)Then of course, Peanut isn't too bright, so Zack presses the button and releases Pete, after which he has this dramatic entrance where he breaks out of the cave and terrifies everyone who sees him. (they all seem to forget it) Obviously, be it true or not, something has lead Tarot to believe that Pete is not kind or good, or at least, that she should tell people this. Has anyone thought of the possibility that Pete is good and what Tarot is saying isn't true, whether she knows it or not? I'm going to assume that Tarot is not evil, because of the way she's been portrayed, but she's also a strange character who gets most of her info from otherworldly beings, but that doesn't mean she won't lie to further a greater agenda. (I hope I didn't just screw up an entire mega-arc for Rick. Sorry if I did!)The power Grape knows as 'Pete' has transmitted a dream to her in order to put her at ease, thinking that his freedom is what she wants
Don't believe it! Pete is neither kind nor good; He is actually sort of a jerk.
Hurry, Peanut! Stop Grape or we're all in grave peril!
Hugs and Kisses, Honey
Now, to give an opinion of Pete's actions toward Joel/King, he seems to feel that what he is doing is righteous, despite how little he thinks of Joel/King's desires, or even his rights as a living creature. He seems to think that this is ok, and I'm still divided on this: Joel was a bad person, whether he was bad-hearted or not, and now King is, in fact, learning his lesson.
So: Could Pete be Good and Tarot be not telling the truth? I'm not saying Tarot is Evil, because, as I said, she's been portrayed in a way that makes this seem impossible from a story-perspective, but she may be working on the side of evil unwittingly. We don't know who Tarot gets her info from, or what their intentions really are, only that she refers to them as "the spirits": she may even be working for Pete himself, who knew she couldn't stop him, and wanted her to create opposition for some complicated reason. (this is a stretch though) Maybe she knows this to be a lie, and is telling it because she thinks good will come of it.
In any case, Pete has not shown himself to be "evil", though he does seem to be a Jerk, from the way he treats King. However: realize that, in locking King in a cage, he is protecting him from whatever his plans are.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
