Everytime I want to like Griffith I'm reminded not by the eclipse, but a more forgotten subtle scene.
We know he was broken after they broke him out of prison, his mind was definitely not in the right place but at that time his ego was still in place, mostly due to guts.
The number one scene that I hate from Griffith is when tries to fuck Casca when they on the carriage on their way to the eclipse. Femto didn't fuck Casca at the eclipse, Griffith did. He was jealous Casca & Guts got each other, actually it was probably the only thing that gave him the power to get out of the carriage in the first place.
Fuck Griffith.
