Right im going to say this once!
The eye does not hate Jonah. The eye isnt solely obsessed with Jon because hes the Archivist and is just waiting to throw Jonah out. No, after 200 years of loyal service, after 200 years of throwing his ass in the fucking circle to keep the institute running do you think the eye would just discard him without a scrap of reward? No!
Yes, jon is right that he is meant to be the pupil because Jonah Built Jon To Be The Pupil! Jon is the Archive Of Fear! He was purposely marked by all the fears under Jonah’s preparations to become the pupil. I believe Jonah was very much intended to be the king of a ruined world and be the conductof of the pupil- forcing the ceasless watcher (conducted through Jon) to look upon the world THEY had created.
But, jon was in the wrong place. He wasnt in the range of the panopticon when he read the statement that brought the end. But the eye couldnt wait for its pupil to arrive, it needed one immediately for its transendance and chose jonah as the nearest conductor.
They swapped roles. Jonah became the ceasless watcher and jon his director which lead to him concentrating power onto those avatars.
Its not that the eye doesnt want Jonah anymore, he just isnt the right piece and has been destroyed under the strain of such power he wasnt prepared for, unlike jon.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
