Talk:Diver (The City of Lost Children)

How is he a villain?
Throughout the movie, we only hear about the Divers past once, and that was from Irvin. His description of the Diver paints him as a victim of fate, but ultimately wishing to have a family.

At no point does Irvin show any animosity towards the diver, whereas he repeatedly calls Krank insane and a monster.

The diver also actively helps Miette, saving her life twice.

So calling him a villain, rather than a supporting character, doesn't seem that accurate to me. He is the cause of the events of the movie, but not intentionally so.
