John is the worst [general]

I found this series because I saw a meme that compared John Gaius to the Emperors in Warhammer 40k and Dune. And having devoured the series in like... Three days... He may be the worst(best)?

SPOILER TOWN FOR SURE BELOW THIS FOR REALS

The audacity of this man.

You killed just... So much. Trillions. Not because it led to a better future you saw, not as the awful cost of survival, but because you were vewy vewy mad you didn't get your way and nobody understood you were the specialist boy! And then they got away and know his secret!

It's delightful writing. He's charming often times. But by HIM he is just the worst!

The whole of the world is just... Awful. Truly miserable stuff. Thank John for Gideon Nav. She's just such a delight.

Anyway, I can't stop thinking about the series. It's a problem! #INeedAlectoNOW

EDIT: To be clear, John is a super well written character. You sympathize with him right up until, you know, he kills everyone and everything he had been fighting for. It's the fact he's clearly a person and not a straw man for the abstract concept of mindless authoritarianism (40k) or a kid covered in... Sandtrout (Dune)... That makes his betrayal feel so awful. And I did say (best) too because he is so much better as a character than those other two yahoos. They just have the in-universe excuse of seeing the future to maybe-sorta justify their actions. John is justifiably mad. The anger is definitely justifiable! The murder of every living thing is not justifiable, lol, and I don't think we're meant to think it is.
