>>119768053I know this sounds like a shitpost, but it almost comes across as a Western to me.
>mysterious stranger from the wilderness with his own moral code arrives in town/civilization>the town/civilization is hostile to him as an outsider, but simultaneously needs his help to overthrow the corrupt social order>outsider uses the skills he gained through the wilderness and deeper/purer understanding of human nature to successfully overthrow said corrupt social order and restore "proper" civilization>despite this, in the end, the outsider and civilization cannot truly coexist, so he returns to the wilderness as an outlaw>heavy emphasis on personal freedom, resistance to unjust law, the right to self determination etc.It's missing the hats, the revolvers and the desert, but I think the thematic framework is there. I of course could just be reaching, but I do wonder if there is some shared DNA beyond just the era.
