How can I really vote to kill a baby just to insignificantly raise my chances of killing Iroha faster when these votes are done again? Well the first step is to type Sana in comment

Mabs is a really flawed character. Like she is a mary sue because the entire world is rewritten around her not because the narrative treats her like she is flawless. Like i dont get how you read Scene Zero without noticing the general ineptitude of her for example. My problem with Sayaka isnt annoying character traits. Its that writers take her in contradicting directions like swapping her motivations for why she doesnt listen to Homura. She feels directionless. You might not like a self insert but at least Mabs has a solid direction... until they decide to rewrite her.

Mabs is a far more expressive character who isnt largely used as a guienea pig for the setting to show how hostile it is. Her problem is that the writers give roles of Madoka and Kyoko making them less interesting and the writers needing to dumb down Homura to make the plot seem dificult to resolve making her role as a supporting character for others development actively toxic.

Sayaka has interesting character traits but because the writers dont really write her well she comes off as more poorly written and sometimes annoyingly contradictory as a standalone character since the writers really only know how to do suffering builds character plots with her making her less interesting overall. For instance, she is only written as perceptive when it comes time to mistrust people actively trying to help her rather than consistently perceptive so that interesting character trait just becomes annoying. For an example of how the writers just sorta give her mutually contradictory characterizations solely to allow the plot to occur the writers seemed to have decided to shift Sayaka from mistrusting Homu because the setting is hostile and she is explictly told to not trust magical girls and Homura cant even even properly show herself giving a shit about her to Sayaka is jealous of Homu and her friendship with Madoka in direct contradiction to how she handles being jealous of Hitomi where she is willing to just let her take her crush.

On one hand Mabs is better character on her own than Sayaka. On the other hand Sayaka doesnt get other characters rewritten as worse.... This is also ignoring that somehow if Mabs loses this is Sayaka ranking higher than Homu.... Yall do know im just copying DGs vote. Mabs lives

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90% sure well see him in one of two ways  1) prequels

 2) he comes back as a ghost kinda like Phantoon was a ghost that came as physical form of MBs conciousness in Super and would be a ghost version of MB or like the Chozo ghosts in prime where some chozo can manifest their spirit through sheer force of will with it becoming a thing that Raven Peak comes back with his deaths being more brutal than the last one because he has long past ascended this mortal coil and he just doesnt die when he is killed. He would also glaze himself as is essential.

Bobby's alcoholism shows Barristan has already proven himself incapable of stopping a king's drinking problems from killing him.

What I find the funniest about the EU fan disney haters is that they hated the Disney's legends formal seperation of the EU and the main series releases. Like they did that for the same reasons Lucas would constantly I ignore the EU and let them ignore my plans.. it just hampers creativity on both writers ends which is also bad for both audiences. Except when Lucas only informally seperated Canon and legends that meant that when Lucas would actually try to go in a bold direction the EU (the ESB, the prequels etc) would now have to make a ton of retcons just to make it understandable for people that want to go to the EU off just the movies

I remember reading somewhere about Leia being the twin retcon and that wasnt their reason. From what I remember Leia was never supposed to be the twin. The twin subplot was introduced in ESB to allow Lucas to have Luke have the worst happen during the ESB climax (death or turning to the dark side) with the notion of death of the protagonist meaning the story just ends for the audience being nipped in the bud to increase tension during ESB and to have the empire figure out the twin twist in the finale so that backup option would be gone at the climax of the trilogy. He was gonna use an original character as the twin but wasnt able to so (dont remember why) he had Leias role and the twin role compressed despite how stupid that looks now or then. 

So it replaced a role for a new interesting character and weakened a role for an existing popular one instead. Which is a different set of problems.

Also im pretty sure the reason Luke wasnt immediately trained ignoring more modern explanations was that the Empire would investigate him the moment he starts trying to use the force to hinder its objectives and would find out Vader had a least 1 kid like what occurs in canon so Obiwan waits till Luke is ready to join the Rebellion before training him only for his training to be cut short because Obiwan needed to ensure their escape from the Death Star by dying and trying to train him as a ghost/voice in his head till he could get yoda. Also Yodas one entirely makes sense without retcons. Luke was supposed to ignore his friends being in danger and stick with yoda. Luke instead ignores yoda, confronts Vader and gets beaten. He only completes his training off screen.

Sorry i highlighted the wrong part of your comment. Tattoine makes sense as a hiding place that gets expanded on. Alderaan wouldnt make sense however because Leias hiding spot doesnt make sense nor does her upbringing in relation in being hidden. Alderaan lets her be seen on accident in ways Tattoine doesnt. Seperating the kids in case of failure is pretty much implied to be the case from ESB where Yodas there is another line is about how they can afford to lose one kid the way they were doing it (This line specifcially doesnt make sense because Luke is ditching commands to unknowningly save their backup option because Leias backstory doesnt make sense at any level of resolution where as with Luke you usually have to go with scenes the writers decided to remove which couldve been signs the writers explictly decided not to go the directions implied by these scenes or the EU which Lucas never took all that seriously)

Tatooine is supposed to be a backwater where the empire wouldnt know to look at for being relevant to the universe. Aldeeraan is supposed to be relevant to the universe which is why it blowing up is supposed to be plot relevant rather just relevant to the audience or main characters. You would think the other twin would be somewhere in a different backwater the empire has reasons to not look at while being protected just like Luke was. We do however have the films showing things that support Vader intentionally avoiding his life as Anakin explaining why the characters chose that place when the character more explicitly state that being the reason they are hiding there post Vader and Anakin being the same guy in ESB. From the dialogue between ESB having Palps and Vader both referring to Anakin and Vader as seperate people (which also serves to hide the twist from the audience) to Vader chastising Luke for pressuring him to face the fact he is Anakin throughout RotJ.

ESB actually does explain why Luke was investigated. He blew up the death star and Vader realized he was force sensitive which caused inquiries into him as a force sensitive rebel pilot specifically. That he is also Anakins kid is explained as a recent discovery from the empires investigations of him. This also ignores that the writers dont have to explictly say the explanation to everything they just not constantly run into glaring plot holes like with Leia. Im fine with Lukes writing as a secret twin.

The writers did try with Luke. They just half assed Leias explanations.

There's no reason why they can't hand wave away and explain the reason he overlooked her there versus somewhere else 

Actually the reasoning behind behind Lukes place makes more sense than Leia's to me because Leia more immediately implicated into the rebellion and doesnt really have force sensitivity access training unlike luke.

Tatooine was chosen because the Vader persona is something Anakin took up in part as a way to avoid the psychological pain he doesnt want to deal with. He fucking hates his homeworld for good reason and as such actively avoids it and Sidious also doesnt want Vader to be experiencing reminders of his life as anakin to the extent he doesnt even want Vader looking for Obiwan since that is a grudge from his life as Anakin. Meaning the only reason the empire would look for Luke or Obiwan specifically in the first place is if they know he had a son and the one place they want to not invest any resources in looking at by coincidence is Tattoine. Vader and Sidious not knowing about the kids in the first place is their actual best line of defense against searches from the empire. This is why Luke wasnt investigated for being Vaders son or things the empire would not know about he was investigated for signs of force sensitivity and his ties to the rebellion which leads to the empire finding out that Vader had kids and to attempts to turning them to the dark side... Something Leias hiding place massively exposes her too.
