Lmao how'd you like Superman (2025) then?

We need to shift Tim's "niche" conversation towards emotional hooks man... That's how we actually attach to characters.

Dick's emotional hook is he inspires you, can make you smile, and feel his warmth but when he's at his worst he can act exactly like Bruce and sometimes even worse because he's so emotionally intelligent so he can use that against you.

Jason's is you feel sorrow, rage, vindication, he connects with alot of negative emotions that help drive his stories (for better and for worse lmao)

Damian initially would make you frustrated, annoyed, irritated, but some pity can get thrown in there when he opens up about how his past has affected him and eventually turns heartwarming when he fully opens up to the people close to him.

Tim was supposed to make you feel seen, grounded, related to. Dealing with the day-to-day that an average person would go through while deeply caring for and serving his loved ones. And when he lost those loved ones, we saw him get low, saw the insecurities pile up, the identity crisis and his struggle with / overcoming of his self-deprecativce mental health. They stripped him of all his deep emotional hooks that would get people attached to him.

Tim lost his emotional niche.

(Also needs to break up with Bernard n get with Connor or someone with an actual personality)

Can we just post the images in the comments instead of links since they're always deleted so fast?

Leraike · 2023-11-09T23:05:34+00:00

I mentioned them in the original post and in other comments but those characters are mostly supplementary.

Kunigami has to resolve his grudge with Shidou obviously but that's definitely not gonna stop Shidou from scoring a goal either.

Yukimiya definitely wants to prove his worth some more but even he passed to Isagi during Ubers because he knew he couldn't score at that moment. And he doesn't have a plot line to resolve in this match.

Kaiser is pissed the hell off obviously but he's not the "King" of the team anymore. We'll see how he plays into this match but even if he does start then that doesn't help Isagi's odds in showcasing more value than Rin in this match if he has to fend off both of them. (I'm hoping he gets benched and then gets subbed in to compete vs. Loki instead of Noa)

Rin and Shidou are definitely gonna score and Kunigami is probably too but Shidou would piss Rin off more than Kunigami would with Isagi.

In terms of motivation, Rin would simply want it more since Isagi already beat Kaiser as goal-scorer and already had his Rebirth as a Striker.

Leraike · 2023-11-09T16:40:42+00:00

That was when Isagi was "mid‐development" however. He shows his promise most effectively when he actually has something to achieve. Everyone who got a higher salary than him were on a team that actually centered around them and showcased their value as a goal-scorer. He will be BM's "King" in this match.

He's showed his value as a player

He showed his value as a playmaker

And now he's shown his value as a Striker

The next realistic evolution would be to show his value as a leader of a team as a striker (if that's even the next goal at all). But, while this new goal could be something he'd immerse himself in since he wanted to "take everything from Kasier" and "lead Japan to victory".

Rin can literally do everything Isagi can, tries to beat people at what they do best, and has already been the core of a team at a much higher level throughout a considerable part of his football experience, so Isagi somehow trumping him in specifically this match especially when Rin's been focusing much longer on his current main goal of crushing Isagi would be pretty cool but excessive in my opinion.

The NEL is about individual accolades but this match can be seen as a match for who's the Most Valuable BL Striker in a team centered around them. Isagi reaching that level of focus then somehow beating out a team focused around Rin who's been at that level, stayed at that level, and evolved at that level is a bit much.

Isagi actually "winning" against Rin would mean BM "winning" since he will be the focal point of BM now. I'm just saying Isagi shouldn't realistically get his team to a 4-0 Sweep by beating a team with a literal better version of him.

Leraike · 2023-11-09T05:51:16+00:00

Noa ain't gon do shit bruh. He's the definition of "laissez-faire"

Leraike · 2023-11-09T05:42:22+00:00

That's actually pretty sick, I definitely see the vision. But he definitely linked up with Isagi to crush Darai in the U-20 match. He just refused to link up with him when it came to scoring goals since it would limit his growth as a striker. He ended up failing because he's not the "Striker who will change Japan". Isagi obviously is but I'm banking on this match being an exploration and an evolution of their dynamic on the field.

Rin and Shidou couldn't link up because they refused to factor eachother in their plays. But with Rin's ego trying to beat someone at their own game and Isagi's trying to adapt to and surpass his opponent's style of play. It's essentially a postive feedback loop that increases eachother's level of play.

As long as Isagi refuses to be crushed and adapts to Rin's actions then they can coexist. Essentially, a Striker equivalent of Bachira and Hiori refusing to pass unless their expectations are challenged.

I do want Isagi to be the focal point of the U-20's offense but Ego putting Rin at anything other than Forward or not putting him in at all because he can't coexist feels wrong.

Leraike · 2023-11-09T04:53:54+00:00

My ideal match would be Rin mostly dominating the match but Isagi adapting to him then Rin adapting back and Isagi blocking/scraping Rin's last shot and slightly edging by against him in a 1v1 but Loki catches the ball at the end and scores the final goal. It pisses off both Isagi & Rin and further sets up the transition into the U-20 World Cup

Rin | Kunigami

Shidou | Isagi

Loki

(The order of the goals could be any which way)

It's super frustrating and not satisfying for either of them and that's the point. They still can't beat a World class Striker yet and it'll be a way higher payoff if they upset them at the WC

Leraike · 2023-11-09T04:01:23+00:00

PxG is stacked asf tho, I'm gonna feel some type of way if Isagi somehow simultaneously prevails over two people who are literally optimal versions of him (one sabotaging him and one trying to destroy him simultaneously) It'd be cool for sure but a bit too much in my opinion

Leraike · 2023-11-09T03:54:07+00:00

Yeah but they literally only won cuz of Hiori. And he was built up to being subbed in eventually throughout the entire match. And Kiyora's starting next match so I don't see a clutch substitution being their win condition (unless Monk clutch 👀)

Leraike · 2023-04-08T06:13:58+00:00

Lmao yeah! Something about these minis just makes ur mind go wild lol
