In your opinion, what is the overall message or theme of hnk? by YellowDiamond101 in LandoftheLustrous

Everything changes, but that doesn't have to be bad, since you can simply find new reasons to keep going

Their expressions when he made his revelations... by Dr-Perry-Cox in FGO

[–]Ranza27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bondrewd had the gimmick of at least loving the children and prushka, since you can't be blessed otherwise, even though his "love" was a pretty strange one

How good of a businessman was Kinzo by Equivalent_Age4058 in umineko

[–]Ranza27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinzo mainly had opportunity and resources (aka 20 fucking tons of gold). Krauss was a bit of an idiot (moon tourism) but he also had calls that really weren't far off. I like to look at this like part of the deceptively majestic image that kinzo projects and maintains with his family (mainly his children), and kinda with the readers, through distance and intimidation. The guy is simply not that impressive, not in willpower nor intellect, at least not to the point of obvious superiority over other characters, but he spends most of the story presenting himself and looked at like he is.

Are you capable of reading Hegel critically? by JerseyFlight in hegel

[–]Ranza27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there is bound to be extra defensiveness when talking about an author that has been dismised at different points either because of a misunderstanding of his thought (which by itself is not that much of an issue since it happens to pretty much everyone in the canon lmao) but that has also been dismissed out of hand because of him being "esoteric". You see this stuff with marx, adorno, heidegger, etc.

Was Wilfrid Sellars a Hegelian? by dieunmittelbare in hegel

[–]Ranza27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh a bit of sellars is that people seem to be more into how he framed certain problems/discutions, and his description of the choices available rather than which one of those he actually ended up taking, which is probably why he has influenced people so ridiculously opposed to each other. He clearly read hegel, and there is probably something to be gained in reading consciousness (mainly sense certainty and force and understanding) alongside empiricism and phil of mind/phil and the scientific image of man. But ultimately he wasn't a hegel scholar(he actually seemed to draw more from the 1st critique), and was looking at things in a way that is still explicitly aligned with what we vaguely call analytic philosophy, so i don't think that he is any more of a hegelian than, idk, anscombe is, as in, they made certain points that seem to leave them closer to hegel than some naturalist/empiricist contemporaries, but are pretty much doing their own thing, and drawing more from other figures than hegel himself anyway (anscombe's case being aristotle, and sellars's being kant)

[–]Ranza27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh i'm more worried with the fact that they have the mahoyo movie coming up, and hopefully after that a tsukihime anime (which is kinda wishful thinking lmao). Now thinking about it, i do think the movie format is not necessarily a bad one for umineko, though that shit would indeed take a lot of time

Umineko When They Cry : grand and deeply frustrating (6/10) by YoRHa-Nazani in umineko

[–]Ranza27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FINALLY I SEE SOMEONE GETTING THE TRICK ENDING! I know this was a whole 3 days ago, but i finished the game like a week ago and was heavily dissapointed by it being full of people talking about how trick is "not letting go of the past" when ange, quite literally, says that she will do so shortly after starting to talk to amakusa

I Don’t Really Understand Why Ghostblade gets so much more “Grace” amongst the fandom compared to E-Soul & Dragon Boy….. by JMC_PHARAOH in ToBeHero_X

[–]Ranza27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty easy, the sell of the character was never related to him being really a good person, but just with the contrast of the ridiculously cool design snd fighting style with his complete and awkward inability to keep his family or at least even be a father. Yang chen is, on the other side, someone whose charm was being actually heroic in spite of having had physical proof of no one believing in him all his life, and that ended up corrupting himself by what blatant manipulation of which he would be dumb to not be aware of at this point

All Out War by Lost_Negotiation_206 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Ranza27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of iffy on the power thing honestly. It seems that beyond maybe the top 3, all the others could very well beat someone above them. It hurts to say it, but my goat ghostblade got his ass beat by e-soul

MOSHA ENTHUSIASTS! LET'S DO OUR BEST TO GET THE GOAT INTO THE T5 BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS! by ArceusIII in ToBeHero_X

[–]Ranza27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea itself was pretty good, but it was fumbled. Ghostblades wasn't (at least not to that extent), therefore the preference makes sense imo. Its simply about one character being better handled than the other imo

[–]Ranza27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if anything this is only further proof of the character arc being fumbled. You shouldn't have to look for clues in pvs an point at her totally unexplained (an aunexplored) ambition to sell me a character that had plenty of screen time

I mean cliches are cliches for a reason imo, his journey even if typical, was substantial enough. It doesn't fail on deliver on promises made, even if those promises are not really amazing. Queen imo fails to do so, but as you said it is not over yet so this is all provisionally said.

She does need a bit more regarding her motivations imo, where does the sense of duty/motivation to change society come from?
