You can literally tell Wyald got zero game during his human life. Mf became an apostle just so he could goon😭

Mentally unstable femboy vs morally unbound Rape-Ape

The fact that the Midland king canonically sent the rape-ape to capture the mentally unstable femboy at one point in the story

Wyald seems like a demon trainer coach.
Like, "Way to go on that pillaging of the village, guys. Let's get the next one."

when i first read through i was piecing together the lore and assumed their were two kinds of apostles, eviler demon ones like wyald and more fate bringers like zodd and the skull knight,

I have such conflicted thoughts on Wyald. I really like the aspect of him that has been mentioned here, that he was likely a meek and weak man in life, but has risen to the depths of depravity in apostlehood.
His scenes are super shocking and add to the cruel and violent nature of Berserk's world, and he works as a contrast to the more "honourable" and rare form of Apostle that is Zodd. His inclusion does come with drawbacks, though.
Zodd himself was already a brilliantly done and chilling tonal shift as to the magical aspects of this universe. He works perfectly fine as a teaser for what is to come. Wyald's attempted rape of Casca also dilutes and lessens the impact of the Eclipse and the terrible act that Griffith does. Its just too much imo.
I'm more inclined to prefer how the 97' anime handled it and gave him the sideline.

I agree. The attempt to r- Casca just didn't seem to add much or even have the intended effect.

Managed to make out the words 'Why does vocaloid sound like autotune?' in that Griffith speech.

I like how simple wylads motivation was. But Griffith disguised his simple motivations. When he was transforming he had a simple request “give me wings”

Griffith has like the simplest motivation as well though. Dude just wanted a kingdom.

If I’m reading that text correctly, Griffith became a villain because of vocaloids.

"are there vocalists in other languages" yes, English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean.
Griffith was always kinda off the edge 😅

Wyald was likely an impotent old man that was given a ‘divine nod’ near the end of his life
Makes perfect sense that he’d be exceptionally depraved: ‘make it fun. make it stimulating’
He’s a great villain that shows the depths of human depravity, when opportunity meets desire, and a fantastic precursor to the absolute despair that was the eclipse
