But maybe a violent revolution should happen... hence my problem with Wax as a character.

A violent revolution should never happen. I think it’s much more realistic for a lawman to serve under the elite that run the city and lead it, then for him to magically know what’s right and wrong and do that. Just me though

on the other hand, there is an interesting question underlying this: if a bloody revolution did happen - despite vax best attempts to usher reforms peacefully - and it was not led by the set or other groups that are unquestionably worse than the current establishment

what would wax do then? there are enough nuances in this that it could be a great novel by itself.

maybe i actually did predict the plot of lost metal

I feel like Brandon kinda tried to get a taste of that in Shadows of Self. Or maybe that was just some build up to it. Imagine how heart wrenching it would be, though, to see wax and Wayne on opposite sides of a civil war. Or to see wax fight against the his wife’s kind while he still loves her.
