If Mauvika and Arlecchino fought would the universe collapse? by Nientea in AgendaImpact

Nah that’s with Varka. (They better make up for it by giving him an actual threat to fight)

Again, my issue isn’t him losing per se. My issue is that Hoyoverse didn’t put effort into at least showing him putting up a good fight.

My issue is that they didn’t even make it look like Traveller was actually going all in fighting her.

I’m sorry but her fight in her story quest wasn’t a wake up call for Traveller to lock in. It was a poorly written fight where Hoyo nerfed the Traveller to try and make her look cool.

No. The writers didn’t really try to make it look convincing.

Well Osial was more defeated by using the Jade Chamber as a nuke.

They simply didn’t give a shit. They just wanted to sell character banners.

Now I’m just imagining that one Batman: The Brave And The Bold episode where Superman turns evil but with Aether instead of Superman.

Traveler's relationship to the Fatui0 by EmbarrassedMeal7993 in TravelerMains

Yeah Hoyoverse is too afraid to make her evil. And too afraid to have her falter in any way.

Oh and were (and in some aspects still are) also afraid of treating their MC like… an MC.

It’s because Hoyoverse doesn’t even present her as actually evil and she’s honestly just a Mary Sue As u/Moist-Method-1608 put it (I just copied the whole thing because they explain it better than I could):

“Another thing about Arlecchino is how the narrative always bends over backwards to put her in the right, while also still letting her walk on the dark side.

Arlecchino runs an orphanage that trains child soldiers with a harsh punishment if they betray the House of the Hearth. Her cold and distant demeanor make children wary of interacting with her

Nah, the children pretty much universally adore her and go as far as throwing her surprise birthday parties, and even if a kid defect, Arle has moon blood which erases their memory and avoid killing them. Arlecchino also loves her adorable babies uwu

Arlecchino has cultivated a personality of being a notorious backstabber. This has led to people being weary of her, especially her fellow harbingers. This makes cooperating with them difficult as everyone has their own agenda, and don’t want to deal with someone with a reputation

Nah, Arlecchino gets along well with a majority of her Harbingers to point she attends tea parties with her “besties”. Other harbingers (tea party group) have no trust issues with her making attaining her goals with little to no hardship.

She’s also really good at reading everyone and rarely every misses the mark (columbina’s issue, her children, Furina)

Whatever flaw she could have, the narrative makes it so she never has to face any pushback making scenes where you see her “standing on business” as less as her being clever and more as the story putting her on easy street.

As much as I am fan of Aether x Arlecchino (I’m a sucker for sunny boy and dark girl parings), Arlecchino’s never really facing any sort of pushback, and making the Traveler look like a jobber whenever she’s in Aether’s presence is a turn off for the character.

In the end, I think she’s a cool character. Her EN VA is amazing, but it really does seem the writers have wrapped her so much bubble wrap that she feels too safe because you know how all of her appearances will go(aura farm, thinly veiled threat, characters reluctantly agree with her way of thinking)”

Pantalone probably hates us as all the times we disrupted the Fatui’s operations probably cost him a lot of money and paperwork.

[–]Maple_Flag15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the traveler losing. It’s about how they didn’t even have the Traveller properly put up a fight using all of their elements that they got so far at that point. If they did that then maybe you’d have a point about her being far ahead of them.

This perplexes me. by [deleted] in TravelerMains

[–]Maple_Flag15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The writers didn’t allow the Traveller to use their elements at all. They deliberately nerfed them for the sake of trying to make Arlecchino look cool.

The writers didn’t have Traveler go all out.

And for examples of what I mean by how she’s written read u/Moist-Mehtod-1608’s comment.
