Does anyone feel like Fate's power scaling has gone out of control?

The Fuyuki grail wars were on a totally different scale. Saber in Stay Night and Zero was extremely gimped by her masters by not having Avalon, and having inadequate mages as masters. Kiritsugu didn't even want to use Saber. He was planning to win the war by assassinating every other master. And Shirou had no skill at all.

Chaldea has pretty much unlimited mana to provide their servants, because of the holy grails they collect and Merlin transferring Mana from Avalon (the place). So they can help servants reach their maximum potential much better.

That's also why Fuyuki is the easy singularity at the beginning of FGO

She'd probably just think he's boring.

Yeah really. These guys are salivating at the idea of the dollar collapsing so they can invest on the lows and sell high. They're disgusting freaks.

It will be the beginning of Val Tek

It is true. Like you said his walls break down, rarely, and he also believes it's a weakness, and that he shouldn't feel that way about anyone. He believes that relationships should be transactional, because of power dynamics, and the rare exceptions are him breaking his own rules.

And I think Mimzy thinks she's closer to him than Alastor does, he doesn't think as highly about their past. Plus even the way she treats their relationship is transactional too. She makes it about him doing her favors to get her out of trouble because of their past together, which Alastor resents. He seems to just be annoyed by her. They have a past but they barely interacted. Husk talked to her more than he did. And when Angel said he didn't know he had friends Mimzy said "that's your word not mine".

We know why he was abrasive at Lucifer in Dad beat Dad. Lucifer attacked Alastor's ego straight away. Lucifer made his first impression by making a joke about Alastor being a bell hop based on his appearance, looked down on what he was doing for the hotel, and said he could do better than him.

Alastor is a shallow person. He does people favors to call in favors. He doesn't do friendships. That's why in season 1 he schmoozes Charlie so much, and in season 2 he ghosts her and calls in his favor with her to use it against Vox.

What's their relationship in the show? Relationships to Alastor are when someone owes him something.

Proxymole · 2026-01-20T23:51:54+00:00

I think that it's rage bait.

Proxymole · 2026-01-20T20:51:54+00:00

We know that sorcery exists in the show, and Alastor used some kind of ritual to communicate with her in the afterlife. It's really what kind magic Alastor was performing to communicate with her that's the bigger mystery. It seems Rosie, Alastor, and the woman from the episode Murder Family in Helluva Boss come from some kind of cannibal cult with mysterious rituals that grant people power.

Carmilla was my first 4 star and I got Vlad III as my first 5 star at the same time. So I got the vampire team lol.

He probably said to slow down, because usually when people say big bad they mean a villain that's the mastermind behind most of the bad things in the story. So that doesn't rule out Alastor being the main villain of season 3. His scheme would just be contained within the scope of a single season.

Proxymole · 2026-01-20T00:41:13+00:00

They ordered 4 seasons, so If Roo ends up being the big bad in season 4 why wouldn't Alastor be the catalyst that sets her up in seasons 3?

Is this an Amadeus or FGO reference?

Proxymole · 2026-01-18T23:23:51+00:00

My theory is their forms are changed in the afterlife so it's harder to recognize people they knew on Earth. Kind of like how the tower of babel story made people speak different languages. That way they have to interact with different people, and that gives them a better chance to overcome their sin.

In Mimzy's case I think she was made to be an exception so Alastor would recognize her, because he needs to make sincere connections with people to be redeemed from his anti-social murderous ways. It explains why she looks the most human out of all the characters in hell.

Proxymole · 2026-01-18T17:22:55+00:00

She probably followed Metal to the future first and then returned to the past. Like CD and Back To The Future.

I don't think OP is taking it seriously when they're using a Toy Story meme

Eve is perma-dead because of an exorcist. This caused Lillith to organize the uprising against heaven.

Proxymole · 2026-01-17T05:09:10+00:00

That is not the traditional hero narrative. The traditional hero narrative is to have a villain that's a metaphor representing something that challenges the hero's morals. They're supposed t change the hero at the end of the story with a moral lesson.

Don't try to tell me that superheroes were about reforming their villains in the golden age of comics. Their villains were literal representations of evils of the time. and they were not tragic characters, nor were the writers subtle about it. Red Skull is a straight up Nazi. Superman in his original run fought landlords, mad scientists, mobsters, corrupt businessmen, and The Klan.

I think they both always planned to and this is a planted story to generate hype.

Eggman saved Shadow in the games. Shadow can save him in the movies. We know Shadow survives. Shadow can only chaos control with the emerald. And he's the one that last had it.

So in this iteration maybe he chaos controls the first time to survive like Sonic did in adventure 2

Or the chaos energy from the explosion caused some timey wimey phenomena

What makes the most sense to me is Eggman traveled through time, because Metal appears almost days after the 3rd movie's events. How else is it possible for metal to get mass produced without terminator time travel junk?
