I hadn't thought of it that way. Well I know he felt a need to play that part, but that's what I meant when I said he was stereotypical. These sorts of Western cartoon villains always wear dark colors, whatever the instory reason. Whereas in the comic, Meridian could be depressing and the Whisperers carrying him around made him look creepy without being stereotypical. It doesn't bother me too much, though.

But the power colors thing I hadn't thought of.

With Cornelia, I probably would have had a bias against her if I had started with the first episodes. I think I started watching in midseason though, when her meaness was somewhat justified and understandable because it related to her love for Elyon.
