A step in the right direction not executed competently. Seems more compelling to me that her husband's disappearance drove her to become more possessive and overbearing toward the people and things she cares about, than to just become more obsessed with alienmon over time. In her heart and mind Lusamine is convinced she's Mother Knows Best, but in reality is making everything worse for everyone. In the end she actually learns her lesson and has to let go of the family she wanted to protect. She even lets go of her husband, whose disappearance triggered all this madness, with him finally being within her reach.
I actually don't mind all of that. It's bretty gud stuff. Unfortunately the rewrite of the character and story was really awkward and didn't do the changes, good or bad, any favors.
>>42719588>Ultra’s Lusamine is less unique as a villain.She never was unique. People were calling her Queen Zeal and Ragyo Kiryuin when SM dropped. And the difference between her and Zinnia is that even if Lusamine has 'good intentions', you stand against her. ORAS wants you to side with Zinnia, even if she's stupid and unlikable.
