“Why don't I strap on my strength helmet and squeeze down into a strength cannon and fire off into Strengthland where strength grows on strengthees???”
I will say it’s a bit more complicated than that…
If you can stomach/embrace the evil it opens up some fun/interesting Act 3 stuff. The Durge arc and the “full-send evil” endings for Astarion and Shadynasty specifically were neat to see given how not-evil they can turn out in a “good” playthrough.
I can highly recommend
Act 3 Durge spoiler
leaning into your urge the whole playthrough then denying Bhaal at the last second and killing the Netherbrain
for the true unhinged, depressing ending.
Make sure to select the “piss yourself” option when the opportunity arises
All Star with The Sickness is, for me, the perfect mashup, to the point where I can’t separate the songs now.
Honorable mention to any of the many Thomas the Tank Engine mashups (like this one, for example).
Don’t call him Mr. Scorpion. His name is Mr. Scorpio, but don’t call him that either.

“And people worship this cereal?”
“…in a way”
Kind of? The deviations from the books were a little less out-of-nowhere:
Rand interacting with Logaine to learn about his power? Sure, that’s an interesting idea.
Moiraine being stilled/grappling with that? Sure, why not — Rosamund Pike is good.
The Egwene-as-damane stuff was fine too. And I like that they mostly abandoned her love triangle nonsense with Rand/Perrin from S1.
The main thing I’m annoyed by — aside from the generally not-great writing — is kind of illustrated in the memes: by the end of TGH Rand has defeated a blade master and killed Ishamael on his own using what he’s learned from Lan, despite not knowing how to channel. Show Rand (and Egwene) kind of already can channel pretty well when it suits the plot, so his progress as a character isn’t satisfying.
Spoilers for S2 of the show I guess.
Was deeply disappointed that he wasn't played by Dolph Lundgren in the show

Yeah that’s what I'd say is the “evil” ending, though your point is correct…I liked that his endings are morally ambiguous either way you choose (unlike Shadowheart, whose endings are pretty clearly “good”/“evil”).
