What’s so good about Lexx?!

I’d agree that the show is epic but not that it’s about Kai. If anything I think it’s not about Kai.

In any event NONE of the characters are heros. They’re anti-heros which is why their great. There’s nothing heroic about Kai. He’s dead. The dead aren’t heroic. Kai just tries to do what’s right in terms of justice. But he doesn’t do it because it makes him feel good. It’s because what little brain he has combined with the memories of the heroic living Kai tell him that it’s right.

Heros are generally characters who commit good deeds because it makes them feel good. And they do it no matter what.

But look at Kai in Lyekka vs. Japan. He asked the meditating/not meditating guy if he wanted him to save him but when he got no reply he just said “apparently not” and gave it up. A hero would’ve saved the guy whether he wanted him to or not.

And Stan and Xev certaintly aren’t heros either.

But for the purposes of generalizing to someone who hasn’t seen the show it’s ok to say their are heros on the show I think.

But I think saying Protagonists and Antagonist would be more accurate.
