I can see everyone hating or being angry at willhelm but I'm coming out.
I'm coming out as a Willhelm lover I'm sorry. I understand everyone's reasoning but I am genuinely in love with dark characters that are complex and morally gray. It's not like Reinhardt was the epitome of innocence and virtue either she had no idea about Willhelm's plans and memories yet still decided to take him in and manipulate him so he can be loyal to her and help her with her revenge. She chose to omit facts from him, and him knowing things anyway doesn't erase the fact that she intended to use him, so idk why everyone forgets that and focuses on every twisted thing Willhelm does so thay he too can achieve his goals (by goals I mean Reinhardt's love and revenge).
I am not actually angry at the Dulencia side plot, I'm thriving in what Willhelm is doing because I understand he really has zero interest in her beyond being a tool to exact the revenge he aims for. Also he didn't kiss her feet, for people who are mad about that. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, MAKING HER SO CLOSE TO GETTING WHAT SHE WANTS BUT DENYING IT FOR HER. it's a form of manipulation. Get her so drunk of the high of being closer to what she wants so she'd do anything to have it, even if it means to kill (Michael, to be clear). In fact, his is also his own revenge on her because she had abused him and humiliated him so much in the past and he really had zero lust for life to even fight it back. He had no one to treat him nicely or show him affection so he didn't know what it's like, she's the only one to have had expressed even wanting to be with him so he accepted the abuse. He came to know better after meeting Reinhardt. Why are you all cheering for Rein's revenge but angry at Willhelm for wanting to give Dulencia back a taste of what she caused him? It's his revenge too, and it just happens to help Reinhardt, that's all.
I also miss Dietrich but I don't hate that he's not the ML cause I also appreciate Reinhardt's and his platonic relationship. He doesn't need to be her lover foe it to be meaningful and he can exist in the plot again without having to take someone's place. Reinhardt really loves Willhelm to the point she ditches her promise to herself to never love again for him, and to ignore that and say oh she should be with Dietrich is a disservice really
Is Willhelm a bit twisted? Yes Can I blame him? No Do I hate him for it? No Do I condone it? Not exactly but I will also cheer for him and Reinhardt exacting their revenge on the people who hurt them.
