User blog comment:AngelOfLight666/PE Proposal: Alan Yates/@comment-2059440-20190703141404

one nitpick : Alan Yates never had good intentions, ever.. he used his films as an excuse to act out deep psychopathic fantasies - that's all.. so he never truly had any good in him even when he was working on films prior to this one.. thus his character is even less sympathetic.. he's not even particularly driven by greed : he's literally driven by psychopathy.. a desire to be famous while engaging in acts of violence for his own pleasure.

also the tribe that he attacked are known for aggression but he deliberately worked them into a frenzy, which is why the audience are supposed to side more with the tribe than Yates - in essence he got exactly what he wanted in terms of awakening a violent response.. his downfall was that he was too arrogant to think that the tribe could overpower him or his crew.
