The big thing about Tanya is that she just wants a promotion and a comfortable job. Like even in her previous life her goal was to get a corner office. And all of the “war crimes” and other horrible stuff she has to do to get there is just a means to the end

Also I like how they use triangles on a map as that feels a bit more authentic as a war time map. As it often is either that or circles that gets used. At least in those documentary style of maps regarding past wars. I saw such a thing when I was visiting a museum during my vacation recently in Poland

So what I like about Tanya the Evil is different from your perspective. I think this show demonstrates to a T what it means to be a cog in a machine. Generals have a very unique perspective and having an emotional disconnect from the on the ground reality is necessary, at the end of the day they are "serving their country". They don't decide if they go to war, but they can do their damn best to win. We see this is what happening in the meeting with Rudersdorf and how he phrased what he said, "If you are willing to sacrifice an infinite number of lives, how can I be so irresponsible as to say I can't win?" Irresponsible here is very contextual to Japan and how, his role within this grand machine is his responsibility. If he said no, he would be going against the duties of a soldier. To succeed as a military officer is to fulfill this role and instill into others their own responsibilities and roles. But when does humanity come into play? Well I think Zettour embodies what it means to hold humanity as a general while still fulfilling their role in the machine. I think that the decisions he has taken, one that is amounting to a suicidal decisive battle to try and influence politics, the one thing he has no control over. His character makes so much more sense in season 1, his constant "playing dumb" about having Tanya on call able to deploy anywhere whenever they need them was his hesitation about what it means in overachieving, but how can you say no to winning? This is how systems of power work and this is how they collapse. This logic translates to capitalism so cleanly that I can't stop thinking it might be intentional, but this pattern turns up in a lot of media where it doesn't belong. (Example: MHA's story is an eerily good fit for being an analogy of Capitalism's collapse and a new system being built that prioritizes making a society that is willing to self-critique) I've been meaning to start doing video essays and Tanya is a strong contender for my first one
