Did anyone feel his character to be too try-hard? It feels like the author was trying way too hard to make a character that was deep and interesting.

The point isn't that the judge is evil but that people are better at categorizing minor evils than giant, exaggerated evils. Somehow, making the judge comically bad makes him "morally ambiguous" to many readers. There's some truth to that, desu. People condemn Hitler for being a racist, not for systematically killing countless people. One unjust police shooting upsets Americans. The Bataan Death March doesn't.

The Judge being "evil just because he is" is just a moronic oversimplification. But even if that is all that's going on, I think that can only seem stupid to someone that has never encountered truly evil people in their lives. There are a lot of people in the world that want to do, and would do, the worst things you can think of, without any remorse or empathy. It isn't a meme or a cop-out just because you haven't encountered it. When you've encountered it, it's incredibly scary.

Everything that exists in the natural world is natural by definition. So, the judge must represent nature. In the context of BM, even the coin trick is natural.

McCarthy hate only began after election tourism started. At that time they were mostly postmodern shitters scared of his position and popularity in world literature, but that died away after 2018/19 when most of these 16 year olds hit adulthood and realized that postmodern shitters were almost exclusively hot air. These days McCarthy haters are 95% retards who haven't even read him and 5% are butthurt that he gets more replies than shitty European writers from the 50s that nobody reads.

I always thought the judge represented civilization in some way
he's clearly erudite, can speak multiple languages and read countless books, is scientifically knowledgeable
contrary to the savages that surround him who act no better than feral beasts the judge knows the difference between good and evil, he has all the capacity to to good he just deliberately choose not to

I just finished reading it for the first time. I thought it was one of the best books I’ve ever read, but there’s a good few of the judge’s lines and monologues that come off as so preachy. It’s really the only failure of the book.
