>>11590981I like to think it's a situation where they both want power for themselves, but do have a soft spot for one another. Like if He-Man wasn't around and they did take over, Skeletor and Evil-Lyn could be happy together, ruling Eternia. But He-Man thwarts Skeletor's plans and Skeletor becomes obsessed with beating He-Man, while Evil-Lyn strikes out on her own.
Maybe it's just the romantic in me, but I enjoy the tragedy of a villain so obsessed with power that they destroy the things that could bring them happiness without even realising it.
