Sure but he murdered and built a drug empire with the purpose of succeeding from an oligarchic police state.
My interpretation of silco’s character arc is that by the end of season one he has become what vander was at the start of season one in the flashbacks. He’d fought and he knows he can win, to get all that he’s ever wanted but in doing so he will lose the people he loves. When he sits at vanders statue lamenting his death and the decision he has to make he finally understands vander and on his deathbed he admits to jinx that he would’ve chosen to become vander. Perhaps if granted the time that vander was he’d become just like the way we see vander. The season 2 alternate timeline shows that silco is capable of being the man that vander was.
What I find more interesting is that if we accept that silco could’ve become like vander maybe before the events of the story vander was more like silco. His nickname was “hound of the underworld” hardly the name of someone “good.” Moreover one of the things silco is most criticised for is killing vander, but vander attempted to kill silco long before he did and silco also expressed guilt for his actions as vander did.
Silco and vander are the same they’re just out of sync, vander a decade or so ahead of silco. Vander’s past catches up to him in the form of silco and silco’s future reveals itself in the form of vander. Both men are tired of the material conditions they are subjected to and both are willing to kill for change. When it came to losing the people they cared most about, to losing their daughters, both men backed down.
All of the characters in arcane are morally grey. You can disagree with what they do, but everyone is motivated by their love for the people they care about.
Is there anything more undoing than a morally grey older twink
Morally grey is an interesting way to put it. He’s a murderous sociopath and drug kingpin.
