Syril’s death was the most satisfying fascist death since Inglorious Bastards. He had EVERYTHING ripped away from him. He realized that he WAS the outside agitator he thought he was trying to hunt the whole time. He learned his girlfriend knew they were setting up a genocide the entire time and was just using him. He learned the Empire is exactly as evil as he had always denied it was. He was a True Believer in the Empire in every sense of the words and had that true belief ripped away from him. HE personally played one of the largest roles in making the genocide happen. Then he finally found Andor, who he had been obsessing about for YEARS. Then the “who are you?” gut punch right before that fascist fuck got got. Chef’s Kiss Couldn’t have happened to a worse fellow.

God that was great for that line to drop. We’re used to hearing it from villains (“Haahahaa I’m so evil and killed so many people I don’t remember them!”). Seeing the reverse happen is amazing. And it made sense. I think this is the first time these characters have ever interacted.

There’s Andor not knowing who is, but I think there is another meaning and that is the existential question of what the fuck is he doing.

His entire life was dedicated to the order of the imperial state because he believed it cared about peace, security, and justice only for him to find out it only gaf about efficiency and profit and everything else only served to meet those goals. In the end, their order and security was nothing more than destruction and death to the people they were supposed to be providing security to.

Choked on the boot.
