eva being on the other end of the lawful spectrum is SENDING me

while this is an interesting take, it's still too soon to tell whether damon will be a good protag or not. the entire fangan needs to be released before we can determine his actual entertainment value.

I think I figured out why I don't like Damon as the protagonist of P:EG. And it has to do with my recent rewatch of House M.D.

Now, House is arguably worse as a person than Damon is. He causes trouble and does a lot of shit that should have sent him to prison multiple times. He treats people who have talents in other fields like complete idiots even when he's wrong about something and they're right, and is contrarian to spite others most of the time. He treats people like puzzles to solve. He nearly kills people, and in some cases actually did. And yet I find him more entertaining as a protagonist and want to follow him and his story.

And I think the key differences are three-fold.

He plays off other characters well and has one or two constant "straight men" to bounce off of who are equally as fucked up as he himself is. (Ex: Wilson, Chase, Foreman, Cuddy, etc.)

He's actually somewhat self-aware that he himself is just as much of the problem a lot of the time, even as early as season one episode one. (Points out times he was wrong on a diagnosis, how he's constantly being a jerk, that his Vicodin addition is an issue even if it helps him manage pain)

He actually has fears and reasons for doing what he does that play into why he is the way he is, all in ways that are easy to glean during his first few appearances. (the addition to solve a puzzle, the fear of being in pain, and more)

Damon doesn't have people he can play off of well. He's so self absorbed he refuses to even acknowledge the rest of his peers. He (currently) doesn't have a reason for being the way he is that we can put together through even context clues.

I think if they'd gotten the chance to live, Eva and Wolfgang could have been those people he could bounce off of along with maybe Kai or Diana. We could have seen more of the kind of Debater and Ultimate he wants to be and how he'd butt heads with people he's meant to be working with, even possibly leading. We could have someone who would actually be interesting to follow.

My problem isn't that Damon is an asshole protagonist.

It's that he's an asshole protagonist with barely any substance or real entertainment value.
