These tests to determine whether a person is good or evil is ultimately disrespecting the very concept of being human. What is wrong with not wanting to jump on fire? What is so evil about prioritising your lover? What is so demonic over the dilemma of a choice where either leads to death? If we are to be judged on one dimensional concepts like an mcq with a set answer, why were we given a will in existence?

    I did like when the angel said if it's that hard to decide whether he's bad , them he's not.

    You said it so well, exactly, what's so wrong about trying to save your loved one? And I always had an issue with the trolley test, is the value of one life less than 5? Are humans just a number? Is he evil just because he want to save a loved one?

    Although some say the solution to the original trolley problem (no loved ones, just one person vs five people all random) is saving 5 people. I do not think it has a proper solution. There is no right answer. Which is ironic since the angels used it to determine his character. It's simply used to make you think about your morality. Do you think saving 5 people at the cost of one is right or do you avoid any responsibility for the death of five people. It is a hypothetical situation and if somehow real the, evil lies in the one who tied those people up and made you choose.
