User blog comment:Kaestal/anyone else think that The Darkness is a disappointing villain?/@comment-9249716-20160108175126

To be honest, what makes the Darkness a disappointing villain has more to do with the fact that there's so much hype about her but she's pretty underwhelming so far. The writers keep having other characters hype her up, but when you listen to their actual words, it points to the fact that she may POSSIBLY be a threat to God. Everyone keeps saying she's supposed to be all powerful, but even in her true form, when God and the archangels imprisoned her, they defeated her. If she's really all powerful than God and the archangels shouldn't have been able to even imprison her. Not to mention her motivation is essentially similar to Lucifer's, and on top of that she's something of a hypocrite. She said in Brother Where Art Thou that God basically betrayed her and encouraged people to not like her because she's a threat, and yet her actions (turning people into rabids and sucking out their souls) actually proves she is a real threat. And her mentioning freedom (her definition of freedom fits in more with chaos that leads to destruction) leads to the same idea. With everything I mentioned, she's an overhyped villain, and to top it off, the structure of her character is just all over the place.
