Juliette used her power in helping Monroe was self defense, when Juliette killed the Manticore again self defense, both this she used the hexenbiest power was to save herself. Now when she shot the guy she was helping Monroe. After the 2 uses as Juliette in her own defense we don't see any other use of hexenbiest power to help anyone.(10-26-2016, 03:30 AM)syscrash Wrote: You say Juliette is evil but Adalind is not.You are oversimplifying what I said. I meant based on her actions at a certain period after she became a hexenbiest, she became evil, driven by anger and whatever amplified emotion her hexenbiest did to make her do what she did. .You can't honestly tell me you think Juliette would have stopped killing (directly or by proxy) after she'd manage to kill Nick (unless you do and then I'd rather drop this right now because we'll never agree). Her convertion itself didn't make her evil. It's her actions that did that.
Juliette used her hexenbiest abilities to help save Monroe, To stop the Manticore, to stop Adalind, to save the group from the Factory, to rescue Hank, to save Nick.
Adalind has helped save how many. gee I can't think of one time she has put herself in danger to save anyone. IMO if I was in a tight situation I think I would call Juliette / Eve. Even Rosale agreed with that pov when she admitted she is glad they had Eve while hiding the books. Has anyone ever given Adalind a compliment or praise or even a thank you.
People complain because Juliette was involved in Kelly being killed. She said she didn't know. Maybe she should have known but killing Kelly was not Juliette's plan. As for Adalind she planed and actually sold her child. She signed the contract, she got her friend killed then cut up and used her friends body parts. She used the creme with no regard for the effect on Diana. Which now we see had a drastic effect. If not for Sean she would have given up Diana. She made no attempt to leave before she was ready to give birth. Juliette may have been complicit. Adalind actual carried out her evil acts.
Where I am from culpability of a crime isn't only restricted to the person that actually commits the crime. The truth is you can't convince everyone that Juliette is guiltless over Kelly's death. For you she is but not for some people. Her waiting upstairs and doing nothing hasn't earned her any favours where I am concerned. It's honestly not just about Kelly (whom I didn't even bring up in my original post). Between S1 and S2, Adalind was plenty evil and (she wore it proudly) because her own actions which made me detest her as a character but I wasn't talking about her so.....
How people feel about characters doesn't cancel out the characters' terrible actions. As much as I love Adalind (now as opposed to back then) and even Sean I don't pretend their crap don't stink like a landfill on a hot summer's day. It's a part of who they are that can either make me love them or hate them accordingly. I don't excuse their actions either because that's shortsighted.
As Eve who has now been trained we see her using this power to help others. So Juliette didn't use the hexenbiest power to help the scoobies but did as Eve.
Adalind did sell out Frau Pech to get her power but she did know that Frau Pech was planning to sell her out to the royals unless she took the money. We also know that Adalind didn't know what the Ritual was needed to get her powers. Stefania Vaduva Popescu knew how to do it and had a history with Frau Pech so for her it was a twofor.
Now has Adalind helped the scoobies NO but both hexenbiests worked the with the royals for a goal wanted by the royals. Just a thought.
