Mahabharata was an epic full of flawed characters who were not forcibly redeemed...honest story...
You know a lot of people think the part about Ram not trusting his wife was a subsequent addition..Not part of the original epic..And no, it was not even about him not trusting his wife..It was about setting an example and doing it for the greater good which sorta makes it worse..That one aspect can never be justified IMO..
And yeah, Mahabharata is an epic indeed..It deals with human flaws in such a brilliant manner..I know a lot of people like Arjun but Karna is my absolute favorite character..Every bit the tragic hero..Every single character took ruthless advantage of him..Always misunderstood and never got justice till the end..Flawed yes but brilliantly written and layered character..Its blasphemy to compare fictional characters to him simply because these people write to gain TRPs and that alone stops Indian writers from coming up with something this epic or awesome😆
