I like yours a lot more. Making thoroughly evil characters sympathetic, especially without a BELIEVABLE change of heart is very much a pet peeve of mine. After her premier? Some people were able to do good work with the “extremist just trying to feed her family” angle. The moment she mistreated Thorax unpon his return that became highly questionable, and when she slapped Starlight’s hoof away it sealed the deal that it would take a very well written redemption arc, or a “Galactus just showed up…” enemy-mine situation to make her someone I could enjoy seeing in anything like a positive ljght.
