What the fuck was his problem?

psh, whaddya wanna know so bad weak boi.
*plop goes bubblegum*
He's a version of Shirou that slowly lost his ideals and realised he couldn't save everyone while killing a shit load of people. I think he had good reason to be an edgelord.

Have you read the VN OP?
He really wanted to be Gil
>>155570628
Read the VN retard outsider
I think it's a normal reaction.
>>155570628
He wanted to be truly just, instead he became truly JUST

His problem is the incredible futility of his existence.
There is NO ending, even a bad one, where Archer kills Shirou. It's not that he doesn't have the opportunity, it's that - I think - he knows, deep down, it's not going to fucking work.
He's already damned. He can do absolutely nothing to change it. He can't even kill himself, because he'll just show up somewhere else.
Archer is basically doing a job he hates, for (to his mind) no real good purpose. He is literally killing people in service of a grand cause, except he no longer believes in the cause and is pretty sure it never works.
He can't stop, and he doesn't want to go on. He's fucked himself in every way a man can be fucked.

So, in order to keep satisfying Rin after she became Ishtar, he needed to become black?
Shirou was already hung when he was a jap manlet, so how tremendously B is his new BBC?

There should be at least one, right?

Rhino a shit
Imagine if you hit the gym, left behind your lazy sack of shit self and achieved what you set out to do then one day met someone who reminded you of your old self and felt nothing but disdain and hatred?
That.

He realized he was stuck working for the chick he jackhammered and couldn't brag to anyone about it.

Technically it's even worse than that, because Archer is worse off than when he started.
If he spent his entire life stuffing donuts into his fucking face, he would be less disillusioned than he is at this point in his existence.
Shirou pisses him off because he's literally watching Shirou make his mistakes. And he can't do anything about it, even if he fucking kills him.
He's the evolved form of a little bitch boy.
He's Shiro, without all of the parts that make him a shitty protagonist.
