Jacob isn’t the good guy y’all! (dont worry no Recon spoilers here)
Written 16th March
ive been toying with this idea for a while now but i didnt want to post anything until i was kinda sure of it, cant say that i’m sure now but i am like 86.7544% convinced jacob isn’t the “good” guy. i mean what do we know about him really? what exactly makes him good? that he wears white and mib wears black? well if we are going with the show being a chess/bacggamen game  in both of those games there is a black and white but neither side side good or evil there is just two sides…
WHY I DONT THINK JACOB IS “GOOD”:
1. the candidates he brought to the island arent exactly “good” people they have killed, cheated, stolen, lied, blah blah blah. basically all the remaining candidates have killed someone, even the people that died like the two diamond stealing people, shannon was lying and stealing from boone’s mom, echo was involved with the drug plane people… so if you are a “good” guy, and you want to bring someone to replace you as the protector of the island wouldnt you want a “good person” for the job?
2. after they take ben when he is shot and heal him in the pool at the temple or wherever the others healed him at, he doesnt come back as a “good” person, he comes back and kills mercilessly his dad, who granted was an ahole but still, and all of dharma, then chooses the island over alex. in the sideways universe, which presumably is the universe without jacob’s touch, ben isnt a total ahole, he is taking care of his dad and chooses alex over his own power.
3. mib seems just like a sad little soul that turned “evil” out of hopelessness, he just wants to get off the island. i am guessing (as many others have stated) mib was candidate #1 jacob brought him there, he didnt wanna be there, now he wants to bounce but cant so he gets pissed and wants to kill jacob.
yes?no?maybe?thought?
