More Maxies

Don't tell me, that he isn't doing it all the time...

Sorry for this one

Saw this and thought of them

Reference under the cut👌

Once again I dissect Maxie and Archie.

I think Maxie values the whole of humanity over the individuals within it; loss is fine as long as humanity itself still exists.

While I interpret that Archie values the individual over the whole of humanity; himself and those closest to him. Loss on a grand scale is fine if those he values are safe.

This is why they get along, then argue.

I imagine they were both othered by society and found solace in each other, or any reason they'd both be ambitious and on the same team.

They likely both talked about making the world better, but they didn't talk about how, until they argued and split into Team Magma and Aqua.

Maxie always thought Archie would enjoy his ideal world, because it'd benefit humanity as a whole, and Archie is human, no exception; while Maxie was/is someone Archie is close to, and so Archie thought he'd value being chosen over the whole of humanity.

This would also explain why Maxie is distant and cold despite his goal being to help people, and Archie is friendly despite his plan being selective. Archie values the individual, so he will be more friendly, while Maxie values the world and will toss aside connecting to an individual if he views it nessacery for the world.
