The horse is indespensible to the rider, but the horse has all the burden. I think there is little gained by becoming the stewart of skies. Red eye never struck me as flamboyantly thirsty for power. He was trying to solve problems by whatever means necessary. He was really the only one approaching the problem directly. There was quite a lot of burden he was accepting that wasnt really for his benefit, but rather for the growth of civilization. And if it would make him a god, wouldnt that make pip the one who stole the seat of power? Also, the idea that all roles are interchangeable is flawed. Its nice when a boss is so humble as to take the same tasks as the workers, but tgeir time is best spent elsewhere. A general is not an accountant, a n accountant is not an engineer, and an engineer is not a soldier. It would be nice if red eye empathized more but his goals required somebody with vision. Things dont happen in the world unless you make them, and not with any level of results. He made them happen.
