yeah he killed six children. so what? do you think leaders dont kill innocent people all the fucking time either directly or indirectly?? it was totally worth it to escape their prison after hundreds of years of closure. if toriel wants to be a moralist and doesnt want you, who cares, you litteral king uwu
Yeah coward isn't really the best way to put it. I still feel that if didn't want to kill anyone he could have tried crossing and brokering an agreement to break the barrier. It's obvious from the pacifist ending that humans are pretty receptive to peace when the game takes place.
Also if he were to actually go to war surely he'd wipe the floor. Wasn't the whole thing that seven or eight souls makes a monster into a god? I don't fully remember that part
I thought that was Asriel/Flowey, who's a monster/human hybrid at that point.
I'd imagine if that were so, surely the monsters would've won the initial war
