I hate that the show sets this up as a bad thing, i hope Butchers succeeds anyway.

Think of it this way

Imagine how bad the gun problem is in America.

Now imagine if random people were just given guns at birth. No real training on how to use them, no real way to take them away, they're just handing weapons to people.

And not just pistols, but fully automatic rifles, RPGs, flamethowers, miniguns; And then some of them were given actual tanks and helicopters.

And one guy has a fully functioning nuclear weapon. He carries it everywhere. Its handcuffed to his wrist.

This isn't an X-men scenario where people get naturally occurring powers, this is a corporation deciding to pay pregnant women to inject themselves with a drug that turns their children into deadly weapons.

The thing about evolution is we all play by the same rules. Humans just learned how to game the system a little better than an Earthworm.

But once you give a single person laser eyes and the ability to level a city with their bare hands whenever they please, the rules are out the window.

Now you might say "Oh well there are nuclear weapons in real life", and yeah there are. And because they exist, our entire species is at peril 24 hours a day forever.

Because one day, and it will happen, a person who should not have that power will get it. And then its game over.

The genocide of a few thousand people who were never meant to have that kind of power is worth saving the entire human race, and possibly the entire planet.
