I don't like Torna because I feel a lot of the retcons make it a far weaker and far smaller story. In the base game you're told about the Aegis war as being this huge ongoing clash between their armies. You have places like Aeigshammer that show the devastation Malos and Mythra's clashes wrought.
Malos was so dangerous they had to fight him at full strength, and fighting at full strength meant the very land beneath their feet was destoyed. It's a terrible, horrible choice but Addam and Mythra did what needed to be done, saved as many as they could and sacrificed as little as possible.
And then Torna comes along and just says "Nah they only met once at the end." And all the sacrifices and the hard decisions seem to just... I don't even know.
But if we wanna talk about hating someone because of Torna, let's talk about Jin. Because holy FUCK. Not only does his backstory with Lora turn him into a creepy groomer (he literally raised her as his waifu...) but seeing her and everything they did together throughout Torna means everything he was doing in the base game was outright spitting on everything she stood for, everything she wanted and believed in.
His big moment in 2 is his final goodbye with Malos where they part as friends... but that's crazy, holy fuck. Lora would be spinning in her grave at light speed if she saw the insane shit that Jin was doing in her name, and doing alongside Malos.

I like Addam a whole lot and I really love him as a flawed hero who saved the world at great cost, and who does legitimately deserve to be the hero he's remembered as. I fucking LOVE the way 2 and Torna showed how dangerous Aegis's were by having Amalthus getting Malos from Logos, which meant when Addam got Pneuma, Mythra was born.
It makes perfect sense, why wouldn't you fear that kind of power? It's not his fault, nor hers, it's reasonable. And they still saved the world.
So, when I think of Addam, I mostly think of 2, not Torna.
