I love it when shows have a character constantly on revenge sprees, then they'll randomly have an episode of them telling a younger person that revenge is bad.
It's valid though. You can regret doing something but do it still because you have no other options or see no other way.
"Listen, kiddo, I'm broken beyond repair. Don't go the revenge route I walked, don't make the same mistake. It will break you too."
I get that, but sometimes it just feels hypocritical and dumb. The Highlander series did that at least twice to my memory.
