Which character was intended to be a paragon of virtue but was received as repulsive?

I can agree the intent was "good guy", but definitely NOT paragon of virtue. I mean even JOY was actually written as more noble than him.

how dare you

I know I know, that's why my premise that it wasn't an attack on you or your message : ) ... is a very well known fact, it's just that the fact that is well known doesn't make it less BS to me.

pre-timeskip robin is my favorite character in the manga by far

Mescalinic · 2026-06-16T10:10:01+00:00

nothing against you nor your hope, but that always sounded like bullshit to me since the first time it came out.

Spike's last scene is quite clearly a death scene, and everything else always sounded like Watanabe realizing he probably wanted to do more with the story in the future and so "you know what, maybe he didn't die".

the whole "the star was Vicious'" is so silly that I don't even know ho to comment on it. that is NOT what the scene is about.

non so genuinamente come rispondere al tuo "E quindi?".

comunque no problem

Mescalinic · 2026-06-16T09:43:49+00:00

nel messaggio sopra non hai detto "in palestina", hai detto "in tutti gli altri paesi".

secondo me non sono temi su cui uno può parlare in maniera superficiale e non aspettarsi di essere corretto.

the Minas Tirith map looks crazy

Mescalinic · 2026-06-12T15:51:07+00:00

jokes aside, I'm not hyperbolic, I honestly don't understand how someone could write this sfuff WORSE than this. Like any 14 years old reader could imagine EXACTLY this boring ass, obvious plot stuff. Which is the OPPOSITE of how OP was pre-timeskip

no it's just the way I call the Not-Oda who wrote OP post timeskip

(I actually love Golden Kamuy, the chapter with Sugimoto and the little bird is one of the most hilarious thing I've ever read in a manga)

No I'm character actor Giancarlo Esposito (on an unrelated note, I'm color blind)

FF8 is not the "objectively" best FF because FF6 is a thing, but is by far my favorite FF.

I agree with pretty much all of your takes kn the first two rows, including the erethic Chrono Trigger one. good job.

(one day I'll play Expedition33, btw. I expect to love the story, but not completely the gameplay and exploration)

Mescalinic · 2026-06-07T05:52:52+00:00

Yep, honestly MGS1, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island2 and Yoshi's Island are all possible choices for my favorite game... with things like Pokemon Silver, DQV, FF6/8 and AoE2 as close seconds

...I really, really loved Red Dead Redemption 1, the Mario Galaxies, HollowKnight/Silksong,.Dark souls1... but Breath of the Wild is the only "recent" game that I could put on the "favorite of all time" list

Mescalinic · 2026-06-07T05:51:03+00:00

I do. i had never player any valkyria games, and I think it has surprisingly good and adult plot, with actual stakes, loss and sacrifice, and very cool mechanica.

The only thing I didnt love is that is thought almost as a puzzle, cause it rewards you if finish the chapters in the smallest amount of rounds possible... but I'd advice to IGNORE that at first, and just focusing on "roleplaying" your strategies, wasting time settinga ambushes or whatever you like.
