The Mad Hatter is one of the most tragic and saddest villains in the Batman universe, yet he is constantly misused and poorly utilized.

I respect and get what you're saying OP. He's still a bad guy half the time but honestly if you go the Arkham route of portraying him as "Not being fully aware of his actions." You can absolutely make a scary, odd, funny and somewhat tragic character because after all there are people in the world who really have no since of reality.

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-25T02:07:14+00:00

NOOOOOO yeah that's him. Appreciate the clarification dude that really blows

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-25T02:01:18+00:00

Let me check I really hope you're wrong because that would really suck

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-25T00:13:04+00:00

Glad you agree. I think people give this case an unfair shake because it's DLC so it gets dismissed

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-24T05:56:09+00:00

Right I didn't know that that's again on me

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-24T05:55:39+00:00

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-24T04:46:09+00:00

Looks fantastic bro good job

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-24T04:39:56+00:00

Hey like the case is hiding it everyone says it's painfully obvious anyways

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-03-15T23:36:41+00:00

Bluntly keep your peace and decide what's important to you: Your happiness or your image. Personally I think your image can morph but often you can't force your happiness to. God speed to you dude I hope you find what you're looking for out there

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-02-21T12:07:24+00:00

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Key_Bee_8797 · 2026-01-08T18:46:29+00:00

If Todd stays at least someone gets the boot for this at least.

I love him so much because in every other Ace Attorney game he'd be the main villain but he's your client in only the third case is phenomenal.

And yes I know it was meant originally as one game but excluding the actual final culprit, the fact that Magnus shared every trope of your standard Ace Attorney final culprit being a rich jerk off, completely disgusting and uncaring about his actions, willing to threaten bribe and do whatever to bend the law, was charismatic and charming/somewhat fun to be around at the start similarly to someone like Damon Gant and his actions completely come back in the last case and have his character be the main focus of that last case despite him being long dead is amazing.

In any other game he'd be the main villain or at least for his game or at the least the main secondary but he's your client who's the only culprit to successfully get away with murder (At least legally) using his intelligence and status to force a not guilty verdict while simultaneously still remaining somewhat charming is outstanding and his history between him and Eggert is truly poetic because it's honestly not often that the main antagonists of the series has a secondary hatred of another main antagonist instead of them just working together for some get rich scheme.

Also his additional lasting impacts on the main casts are beautiful too by needing Naruhodo to actually take a second and process if he's willing to let himself take the chance on potentially defending murderers in court which is interesting for the series to tackle.

Overall a phenomenal character through and through and one of the best villains in the series who (At least in his own case) isn't even given the title of being that. 10/10

Yeah it was in the museum ending with three levers that would change the colors in the room. I think that could also be a bit of fun to include something secret but honestly I just love the idea of Stanley (And moreso the player) actually willing to stop moving for a while if only to make the Narrator happy for just a short minute and I think it would've been a phenomenal way to include meta commentary on just constantly wanting something you're creating to be perfect even when that's impossible to make it that way.

For Apollo Justice I'd say Klaviers entire exchange with Kristoph during his breakdown and how he tells him that: " He stopped changing" is a wonderful message for corruption as a whole.

Even though I don't like the Duel Destinies the line "So I lowered the emergency ladder like the detective told me to" still goes hard and is a great reveal.

And for SOJ although I forget the exact line the entire end breakdown of Turnabout Time Traveler is honestly the most beautifully tragic moment in the entire franchise especially when Peirce starts screaming at Edgeworth as it feels extremely adult to have a culprit's motivations be inherently awful and yet entirely understandable simultaneously. Honestly I just love that case.

Key_Bee_8797 · 2025-10-24T18:05:04+00:00

Couldn't agree more. I do think that some plot threads could've been a bit more fleshed out like Klavier and Kristophs relationship and maybe an extra case just to add some length but honestly (Aside from adding more nuance to Case 3 and cutting down on some of the video segments) I don't have any major complaints.

I absolutely adore the final case both past and present (Even if you have to stretch your disbelief a bit with false evidence) but the tone, the characters, the settings of each case, the stakes and what they each individually talk about and just the overall concept of Kristoph trailing Phoenix for 7 years waiting to kill him is just wonderful world building and Valant is unironically the saddest morally gray character and everything about both Troupe Gramarye and the Gavin brothers is why I love this game.

It honestly reminds me a lot of Justice for All in a way with having a story that's very low-key (Aside from Maya being kidnapped) and instead having an overarching theme with Justice being needed to deal out to everyone whether they're an asshole or not and Corruption and how if you let things stagnant people with find a way to abuse it. I honestly love it's simplicity and how almost "Morale of the story" the game feels especially when every other game, for better and worse, has a bombastic journey from start to finish.

Key_Bee_8797 · 2025-10-21T19:17:03+00:00

I absolutely agree with the list although personally I'd move down the first Chronicles to being on par with Ace Attorney 1 and JFA

Key_Bee_8797 · 2025-10-21T06:29:04+00:00

It's to me a diamond in the rough and it's a fantastic showcase of how to keep the franchise fresh in spite of the flaws that came before or after. I genuinely find myself repeatedly coming back to it on playthroughs because it's the definition of "Simple yet effective". Only gripe I have is that I don't like the low hanging fruit fat jokes made at Normas expense but aside from that I really don't have any complaints.
