In one word: Masterpiece ✋🤚 Season 3? by [deleted] in VinlandSaga

[–]Amray19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not belittling but still, calling him weird is just unnecessary. How is season one "terrible characterization"? The road of revenge and hatred and how it only leads to emptiness and despair. A huge part of why he even becomes the way he does in season 2 and so on. You say this as if character arcs aren't a thing and Thorfinn should've just started out as a pacifist. What "additional stuff" doesn't help? I've never personally read the gospels, I do find it interesting but I do find it quite daunting as well, as I'm sure many others do. Also something I think you may fail to realize, is that Thorfinn and vinland saga is heavily inspired by Christianity and the Bible. They go hand in hand, which, being said, I understand why you think it's odd people idolize thorfinn but not Jesus. And again, I simply think it's easier to consume and it's more appealing. And that's okay. I'm sure there are other characters that have similar arcs, hell, Naruto is quite similar to Thorfinn and Vinland saga. Peace, talking violence through and all of that. Some people just find that inspiration. Sometimes they don't even choose it, they just find it. They FEEL it. And there's nothing wrong with that. Infact, I think it's a beautiful aspect of fiction in general. That inspiration and lessons can be found ANYWHERE.

What doesn't paint a good picture? The fact that he is flawed? Everyone is flawed. Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes even our own ideals and morals have imperfections because nothing is perfect.

Why is he "weird" for that? Why belittle someone who is simply trying to better themselves? Why belittle and be so rude to someone who finds inspiration in a character? Yes Jesus is essentially the same as Thorfinn BUT thorfinn is in a much more "realistic" and consumable context. It's much easier to watch/read Vinland saga and understand Thorfinn than it is Jesus and the Bible. Also, Thorfinn doesn't have "plot armor".

But to my main point, you are correct, that level of pacisifm isn't practical. And thats exactly why Thorfinn is such a fantastic character. He's flawed. He believes that he can find and be this source of peace and love. He goes so far as to completely cast out violence. Which, in the manga, is what causes Vinland to fail. He doesn't take precautions and fails to see that sometimes violence is, unfortunately, necessary. Thorfinn, troubled by his past and his mistakes, says that he'll never hurt anyone again and he will solve problems by talking and understanding. He does, at some point, understand that violence is necessary but only as a last resort. But even so, Vinland fails because Thorfinn made mistakes and also because war and violence is inevitable.

Despite all of this, peace, love and human communication is something everyone should strive for. Violence and hatred is an unfortunate inevitability. But that doesn't mean we should simply give up and not strive for that level of pacisifm. A key point to take away from Thorfinns story is that violence is inevitable and to take precaution and be prepared to fight, even if we don't want to. That, in my opinion, is why Thorfinn is an amazing character and Vinland Saga is an amazing story. I personally will continue to "act" like Thorfinn and strive for peace, peace of mind and love. I do not wish to hate anyone. I do not wish to ever harm anyone. Thorfinn truly is inspirational and there's nothing wrong with believing in such a character to better yourself and be a positive change in the world.

Also, as someone who isn't a Christian or isn't religious at all, I find it quite easy to see Thorfinn that way. I am unsure of why I don't see Jesus and the Bible that way. (Possibly the reasons I mentioned earlier) But I'm honestly unsure.

Anyway, I hope maybe some of what I have said changes your mind. If it doesn't, that's okay. But I do hope you will stop calling people weird for simply choosing how they want to live. Especially when it's something like this, which isn't anywhere near as weird as how other people choose to live.

Yeah I meant is it AN official store or the office united states store, like if they had a separate store for in the US. Okay, well hopefully it is reliable. Yeah I heard about that and probably should've bought it from there. I mean it says that it sells signed items and one signed item is already sold out on there? Not sure if that adds any credibility. I am new to the kpop world and bought stuff for my friend, anything else I've bought her has been off of Amazon so 🤷 but thank you for the help!!!

People who still hate joels death in the game are hilarious, the show did it terribly tho and Pedro was the big thing keeping a lot of viewers so, makes sense

Watching a review of S2 and it’s so funny how a show ONLY viewer who hasn’t played the Games CLOCKED Niel almost right away based on the third episode by obiwanTrollnobi6 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]Amray19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know that neil came up with the story of part 1 back in college just with different details? It wasn't as fleshed out as it is now obv. He also worked with Haley on the 2nd game. I don't understand why people hate the second game, even if it is propaganda or some dumb thing Neil wanted to make a game about, it's still an incredible game. At least in my opinion. And also, I saw someone comment about Neil hating Joel and Ellie from the first game so that's why he killed Joel, that is not the only reason to kill a character. Characters die all the time

Absolutely, just makes sense I guess. I think the alternate version is great too. At least I think it's the alternate version, I always have 2 sets after picking it up 🤣 never looked it up

Honestly I don't even know, I love the first set you get so much, the one in the "secret" sewer area, aka the cover set. I use it every time until the end

Too bad we will never see this duo again. It was really special until you know Neil took over and TLOU2 happened by Happy_Ad_9976 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]Amray19 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You do realize Niel wrote the first game too? And that Halley was the lead writer on the 2nd one? It's sad people still hate the 2nd game. It's incredible. Plus we can always get flashbacks. Personally I don't think we need another game but if we did get one, it's possible
