User blog comment:DeadpoolN7/Anyone Else Think Javik is the best character in terms of dialogue/@comment-3062992-20121013024522

Javik grew on me. The more I thought about him and what he had been through, in addition to the previously-unknown insights into Prothean culture, the more I appreciated the risk they took writing the character.

If I were to guess, most of us were in the same boat as Liara concerning expectations of the Protheans (probably because she's the only "expert" we've ever talked to, therefore subjected to her views). The decision to go the opposite direction had shock value, but when all's said and done, it feels more believable and realistic. Waking up after 50,000 years to find out I'm Robert Neville or the alien equivalent, probably wouldn't help my already-sunny disposition on life, either.

At least he comes to respect you in the end. Heck, he even shakes your hand, finally. Small growth, but growth, nonetheless.
