This isn’t anything major, just me re-listening to scene and realising stuff in hindsight.
On first listen, Elias’ reaction is solely stemming from his frustration with Martin and the burning of the statements. I imagine it wouldn’t have felt good, being as is it directly goes against all he, as an avatar of the Eye, stands for — destruction of knowledge and all that.
But, on second listen, his reaction is far more personal. Martin has unknowingly hit a bullseye with that statement, being as it was a letter to Jonah, and we have evidence of him being the sentimental sort, as with Barnabas’ bones. The little ‘oh’ is hard to hear, but it is there, and it’s definitely his reaction to the statement. The deep breath he takes after could, again, be frustration, but it could also be interpreted as him composing himself, preventing anything else from slipping through the cracks.

That’s one way to overreact, Elias

I really dislike the whole “Elias is a capitalist” thing because it equates fear to capital when it’s not really accurate. and it doesn’t really make sense when it comes to Jon. is he a capitalist too? even more since his whole thing is collecting statements/fear. but a pettier reason is that we do have avatars who are also capitalists. Peter Lukas is right there! he sacrifices his employees, he was even a landlord at some point!
ESPECIALLY because it is kinda impossible for him to do what he does and continue to meaningfully accumulate capital. archiving and storage space is expensive!!! and because the Institute is not considered reputable they likely do not have much in grants and funding but they are still able to continue to take in not only documented statements of everyone who walks in the door and wishes to make one but also large artifacts, and then continues to have money in order to do research on those artifacts and on validating statements! while they do likely have some grant funding or investor funding, in all likelihood a ton of this comes out of jonah’s pocket! like please yall im begging you to realize that while both academia and archiving are important neither of them are cheap within our current systems
