I also want to tie this into Azmuth, Ben and Albedo’s characters for different reasons. And similar to Albedo, I would have it that Azmuth still wants to help and actively keeps trying to, but it’s Malware who denies him, thinking Azmuth can’t help him…so instead, since he’s accepted the idea that he’s going to suffer for the rest of his life, he wants Azmuth to suffer too, so a lot of his plan is about revenge and personality targeting things close to Azmuth, Ben and even Albedo due to the Helix trick. So when he does get tricked by Albedo, he does still get his red colours and upgraded powers, but he’s not fixed, for his emotions are still damaged and he can’t control them like everyone else still. It could have worked, but it didn’t play out like that. Because when he kind of gets ‘cured’ and upgraded, his red state, he kind of becomes a generic evil dude, despite kind of getting what he wanted. I’m also gonna say that I found Malware a little more interesting when he was broken, before Albedo tricked him with the half-made Helix, and I think I want to keep up with that idea of him.

This makes it so that Malware, while still suffering from his broken state, hasn’t been this way for too long, and Azmuth has infact been working on a cure over the past year. For starters, since the show does not make this clear, Malware was created after Azmuth returns to Galvan Prime after meeting Ben, not all those years ago when he went into hiding to make the omnitrix. Rewriting Malware is gonna be the same as the Highbreed, in that I’ll get more into what I’ll change for when me making that Arc, and probably redesign.īut the basics behind rewriting Malware’s character revolves around the idea of making him both a sympathetic villain, while also making sure that he’s a villain who still is a bad guy, without making the other characters in the show look like cruel people towards Malware, when helping him could have ended the situation in an easier way.Ĭhanging up Azmuth’s character, which you can read a bit about here in his redesign, also plays into Malware’s story since him and Azmuth had the two biggest issues related to that arc.
