Interesting dynamic between Vali and Sugriva. It seems like they are similar to Rama and Lakshmana as they are family and loved each other. However their bond must have not been as close and they didn’t trust each other as much as Rama and Lakshmana did. Those brothers would have waited for each other and been confident in their abilities to return back from the cave safely so they wouldn’t have listed to the counselors and elders. Could make a similar story with a different setting or be able to flip Vali later when Sugriva and Vali fight. Maybe an origin story for how Vali became so twisted. I can create a character for Mayavi and have Vali become dark while inside the cave. Must use the dialogue of Mayavi to change him.
Now Vali is very stubborn and defensive, this is shown in his dialogue with Tara and when he first emerges from the cave. This brashness ultimately lead to his death and was shocked that Rama could have pierced him.
Vali is also hypocritical which Rama points out. Perhaps he has a hate/disrespect of the Gods now because he has gain as much as he can from them.
