Part of what’s interesting about having a Mirror universe at all is to examine something much more subtle and nuanced than the Mirror world we’ve seen before it.
So Mirror universe Lorca is not that different from Prime Lorca, in the same way that none of us are that different from the Mirror version of ourselves.
One of the values of having the Mirror world is to say, “These people who think these things, they’re not people from another planet, they’re us but allowing the prejudice and bias to creep in and believe some of hateful things we hear.”
We all have to watch we don’t buy into those divisive myths.
