I like to think that Lord Bambi is as much of a menace as the Bambi we know now, he was just smarter about it and used that depth of knowledge to his advantage. He's sorta like the childhood that Bambi doesn't remember, so he's emotionally volatile and impulse, but ultimately very benevolent.
He was less emotionally intelligent at the time because he was a Young god raised without the presence of other gods. Which is why his reasoning and decisions around the prophecy were so strange. He was just trying his best to work w/ a complicated situation on his own. Much like another guy we know
The modern Bambi is less knowledgeable, but more wise. He has additional emotional insight that the Lord lacked thanks to spending more time around people who thought of him as an equal... more or less, anyways. It was still rough for him in the early years navigating the world knowing nothing of it
But because he has a harder time communicating that wisdom, people just take him to be 'stupid'. Which he isn't. He may still have anger issues and impulsivity, but he's very grounded and loyal to his loved ones, and is surprisingly good at navigating difficult situations, grief, et cetera.
Woow truly amazing, tbh never seen a comment about bambi being more emotionally wise than before ever. This is so interesting.. maybe I could make my own one like that too (but a little bit, I'm still thinking, or maybe, I already did this, I don't know though..)
Benevolent mad god fits him very well tbf. Probably more than mine does. I just like to think about the two 'versions' of bambi being similar, explanations for why he does stuff the way he does now. Plus i just like the irony of a god of wisdom/knowledge actually being a funny little shit
But he knows when to be serious & took the whole prophecy very seriously, as well as the well-being of his people. But perhaps something in him didnt really feel ready or drawn towards leading people. Theres a certain feeling I get from the fact he removed so many eyes, becoming someone new.
