>>56713518Lysandre as a villain is flawed as a concept. His motivations are to cleanse everyone who is an "undesirable", anybody who doesn't fit his vision of a perfect person would be culled. However, his conditions are extremely unspecific and vague, which is made even worse by the fact that this is a utopia fantasy world where there are seemingly no "undesirables" to cleanse or societal oppression. He's a classic fascist-type villain, but with nothing to back it up or make him interesting.
If you have any reading comprehension, the difference between Lysandre and Cyrus is apparent. Lysandre is fueled by his (apparent) hated of other people. Cyrus is just autistic and wants the world to fit his specific image, no matter the cost.
XY's development was hell, and we're learning more about it from the leaks. Lysandre wasn't even the main villain from the start, it was originally planned to be AZ.
