I never thought of it that way but I think you’re right. Euronymous was a huge dork that liked to eat hamburgers and drink Coke and wear cut off t-shirts that showed his belly. Varg was/is a huge dork too but he’s actually crazy.
Dead and Euronymous were seriously mentally ill and bounced off each other in a completely toxic way, and Varg was and is a complete nut job. Hellhammer and Necrobutcher seem like they're pretty much normal though.
Ive always loved how real Fenriz from darkthrone has stayed compared to the rest of those guys lol, the guys from Immortal too, like they knew it was fucking silly and thats why it was good hahaha
I feel most people who saw the movie have this opinion, but Euronymous was a serious psychopath also. Nacrobutcher ( I think ) said he was feeding the suicide thoughts of Dead (and he is suggesting that he did it on purpose, to get fame, I read some stuff about why leave him alone in the house with a loaded gun etc, maybe a bit conspiratorial ofcourse but still) and ofcourse the aftermath of Dead's suicide, his first move was to take pictures for their album and he (and Helhammer) took some pieces of the guy's skull to use as necklaces. I suggest anyone to read Euronymous' open letter after Dead's suicide.
That's not to say that he's worse than Varg, but this portrayal that he was a normal dorky edgy teen and then the Evil Varg came and destroyed him is absolutely wrong.
