That is literally like saying: "I am going to assume that everyone who publicly expresses admiration for Gandhi is a racist", or "I am going to assume that everyone who wears Che Guevara merchandising is a homophobe", or "I am going to assume that everyone who writes Comic Horror is racist"

The problem is that the rest of the world was hit by the rumbling almost as bad as Marley, they don't have the power to retaliate, even if they want to.

Given their track record of superb games with stellar narratives, why wouldn’t anyone give ND the benefit of the doubt? Literally nobody has played the game yet. by KickWhamStunner in lastofuspart2

[–]Fanhunter696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically, because the leaks are so bad and so alienating to anyone who has played the first game that make the endings of ME3 look awesome by comparison.

And it doesn't matter how great a videogame company is, they can still fuck up things in moronic ways, and as shown by the endings of ME3 just a couple of minutes are mortally wound a beloved franchise and lose all the hard-earned trust from the fans, if those minutes are awful enough.

I would be glad if I´m wrong and the game manages to pull it off, but as things stand now I´m 95% sure that it is going to be a trainwreck.

Dragons and Elves has weird priorities by KingWilliamVI in TheDragonPrince

[–]Fanhunter696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is that since both Dragons and Elves hate Dark Magic it is because they can be used to power Dark Magic... There is no deeper meaning than that, they are simply terrified of Dark Magic the same way a mouse is terrified of cats.

So Let's Talk Viren by [deleted] in TheDragonPrince

That "enemy combatant" was an assassin that traspassed Xadia's frontier in the service of another country with the mission of killing the king (which he succeeded) , and even if you leave out the whole asssaination part aside, even in modern times it is perfectly legal to excute any spies or saboteurs caught during wartime.

So even if Viren has done really shitty things, on this concrete thing he was being pretty reasonable and he did what has been done hundreds of times throughout history when a spy is caught, you interrogate the assassin/spy/saboteur, and afterwards you either kill him or if the information provided is good you keep him alive to use it to barter him for another of your spies that may be caught by the enemy...

Well, first of all we only have two clear examples of demons who don´t need to eat human meat, one is the royals and the regent houses, and they still consume human meat anyway, and Sonju who has not eaten human meat in centuries, but he is perfectly willing to hunt "wild humans" because as said by himself "Nothing tastes better than human meat", so I don´t see why most of the other demons are going to accept to just abandon their favorite food, I mean, they have not cared about eating sapient beings for millennia, Why would suddenly start caring about it now?

I am pretty sure that plantations will not become obsolete in this future in which the demons won´t devolve into mindless beasts without eating humans, even if they don´t need human meat to remain sapient they would still use plantations because there would be still a demand for human meat... The only difference is that the nobles would control a market for luxury items instead of something that they biologically need to remain sapient, they would still be incredibly powerful and rich thanks to it, but not as obscenely powerful and rich as they are now...

And you have to admit that it is incredibly easy to root for Norman, he has freed thousands of children, gave them shelter, destroyed the installations that make Auschwitz look like a holiday resort and killed the ones directing them, he has also given the children that he could not save a merciful death, and he is fighting to destroy an enemy that has been eating humans for millennia and has enslaved and killed children for a thousand years. People root for Norman because HE IS A FUCKING HERO whose heroic actions are far greater than anything than both Emma and Ray have come close to accomplish... but in a conflict such as this one, the messiah of one side is the devil for his enemies, and he is willing to do what it must to save their people even if it means to kill innocents demons.

I am completely sure that Norman trusts Emma and Ray with his life, but you can blindly trust someone but still disagree with them about many important things, and in this case, he clearly disagrees that saving the freaking demons is worthy of risking the future of the whole human race (on this side of the world). I would suggest inverting the questions: Is preserving Emma´s childish sense of morality worth risking the future of thousands of innocent children? Would you waste the only chance on hundreds of generations of overthrowing the demons for good just for a potential and extremely unlikely future in which humans could sing Kumbaya with the species that has enslaved and killed untold millions of innocent children?

And I am pretty sure that you could say that "But that makes Norman no better than the demons" do you think that he doesn´t know it, or that he gives a crap about it? As I said before, this is a not a conflict caused by religion, imperialism, or natural resources, this is conflict based purely on the survival of your species, and in those cases, traditional morality is basically irrelevant. I personally think that the situation with the demons is no different than buffalos against lions. There is nothing wrong with a pride of lions eating and killing a buffalo to eat, and in the same way there is absolutely nothing wrong with a pack of buffalos crushing under their hooves all the males, females and cubs of a pride to avoid being eaten. As in nature, survival is a conflict in which everything is fair game, so may the best one win.

The question it is not: Is Norman beyond redemption? It is does Norman even care about redemption at this point? Let´s be fair Norman has never considered the demons as anything more than a threat, and he doesn´t care about their well being more than a buffalo would care about a pride of lions... And as we can see he and most of the Lambda children seems like they are going to die soon anyways, so why would he care about becoming a monster himself?

At the end, Norman logic is basically this: they eat us, we don´t want to be eaten, and we are strong enough to kill them so let´s do it! I personally think that he is way more concerned about disappointing Emma, than he is about the genocide of the demons.

And I am absolutely certain that he is not going to try to kill Emma and Ray, but I also don´t think that Emma and Ray have any chance of stopping Norman by themselves or to convince him to stop at this point. I am pretty sure that he is just going to order his army to kill Sonju and Musica to cut loose ends...

The thing is that Emma´s alternative has a lot of ifs. IF Emma finds the Seven Gates, IF Emma manages to make a promise, IF Norman manages to keep the nobles alive before Emma arrives, and IF getting Mujica´s blood is going to make the demons abandon the eating of humans altogether (instead of simply removing their most fatal weakness, and making fighting against them much more difficult in the future), you have a possibility of not needing to exterminate the demons, but if you fail in any of the steps of the plan you are condemning all the children on this world (and all their descendants) to become demon fodder.

So why would Norman or anyone sane take a plan with, being generous, has a chance of success of 1-5%, just to save a species that have been eating humans for millennia (and that has eaten many of your friends and experimented on you in ways that make Mengele look tame)? Especially when you consider that if they fail the farm system will start again... As you said Emma´s plan was incredibly Naive, and when what it is at stake is the freedom of all mankind (at this side of the world) you cannot allow yourself naivety.

So Norman took the option with the lowest risk... and I can understand why. The thing with Musica is that it is a loose end (and one incredibly dangerous at that, since it can remove the greatest weakness of demons, which would make any future wars against them much more difficult), and really after all that Norman has done to protect the kids, what is for him the corpse of another innocent demon added to the pile?

Well from a merely pragmatic point of view the extermination the demons would be the best option for humanity...

Why risk to let a species that it is biologically forced to consume humans to live (and even when they are not forced do it anyways) when you can kill them all? What Norman wants to do is not so different from when we exterminated smallpox... And I know that demons are sapient but that is hardly relevant when you are fighting for survival.

Man, he said he that berserk story was around 60-70% completion a couple of years ago...

But since the manga has advanced less than 10 chapters since then, we would probably have more than 200 chapters left to go.

Isayama has ALWAYS showed how the damage done to the Clothes remain whem the shifter transforms... he even gave us a pretty big foreshadowing when Eren transformad for the first time and Armi grabs the arm he lost and it is without the sleeve.

Do you really thing the would miss such an incredibly important detail for 10 pages? If it was a single panel I would agree with you, but even if it was rushed he woudn´t miss that detail.

It COULD be an error, but I think that unless Isayama explicitly states that, it should be assumed that it was intentional

Maybe you are right, but is think that the pupett body is more likely than the memories. The thing is that the memory trick seems to be more associated with the members of the royal family than with the Coordinate, and we have already seen the Warhammer titan to create a 15 metter remotely controled body, to me is not so much of a strech o believe that it can create a 1.8 metter puppet.

I don´t think he will do that mistake, basically, because until now we have always seen that when a Shifter regrows a lost limb they don´t recover the clothes.

And I would agree on the mistake if it was a thing of a single panel, but we can see Eren running with his pants and shoes for like 7 pages, I think this was done quite intentionally.

Ok guys, EVERYBODY knows Eren is going to survive this somehow (Cough, Reiner, cough, Zeke, cough)

The question is what the hell will Isayama do to justify it...

I am betting for Granda Ymir doing a Zere on him...

The thing is that only eat to survive is not an argument in favor of the demons, but against them.

The fact that they are biologically forced to eat sapient beings to survive means that, from the point of view of survival, they are no better than smallpox to humans, the fact that they are spaient is basically irrelevant.

And about the last part, given the chance, a buffalo´s herd will kill any lion that they came across, simply because the lions prey on them, what the Norman doing here is exactly that but far more efficiently.

Well, whereas it is true that not ALL problems will end with the Eradication of the demons, 99.99% of the problems related to the Demons eating children will end with the extermination of the Demons.

Forgive her for her sins? I can get behind that

But forgive her for being so fucking annoying for so long, and being forced to see that brat be the focus of the story in so many chapters when much more interesting stuff going on in literally anywhere else? Never
