I wouldn't even call that being "parental" in the slightest. Seriously, under what kind of punishment is something like that? So, you screw up, and your punishment is to live forever and you won't be able to join your lover in death until you learn this lesson? That's the biggest pile of bullcrap that I have ever heard. Especially when he makes it clear that he and his brother treated humanity as fun experiments. That's the word there: experiments. Something that is sentient as much as they are, and yet he sets up a system of rules that he was even hypocritical enough to break. I don't mean to sound vindictive when I'm saying this with you, of course, but that's the same logic that you could apply to any god whether in fiction or in actual mythology. That whole "they created them, so they could do whatever they want with them" argument needs to die. Wat, so if I were to make a robot and treat the robot like absolute garbage that means I'm justified in doing it since I created it? Or wouldn't I be nothing more than a cruel, callous overlord?
