Ahhh it's so hard to not like Astra. I dont want to like him because I will always suspect that he will be an evil mastermind deep down and it's going to be revealed at some point but he does seem like genuinely nice person
I think he looks way too much like a scary bad guy to actually be a bad guy.
Him being a very responsible guy with impeccable integrity is his "gotcha" moment I think.
Yeah, I feel like, if anything, him turning out to be an actual bad guy would be an extremely boring twist. There's something so lovable about a character that is by all accounts super intimidating and powerful, but is an absolute sweetheart.
