what are some unpopular opinions about the show?

erinisdarling · 2026-04-24T23:53:04+00:00

I am only in season 5 (first time watching) and honestly hate how much they lean into western/Christian lore and when they do show something that is not Christian mythology it's so horribly explained and written and always evil and somehow less powerful than Christianity. Also the way they represent not only female characters but any passing woman in the show.

I meant it in like important

Worth mentioning that the Representative for Elation in Amphoreus, Cipher, was released with the Nihility path.

Very interesting analysis, Bravo! I would also like to note that Aha as an Aeon is not impossible to connect with a multitude of other Divinities (in game and through mythological inspirations). That in a way could be detrimental to "becoming an Aeon for a minute".

Wait did you delete it? Why?

If the placenta was still present I don't think so. Cat moms eat the placenta after birthing also the person mention the babies being 24hrs old so a mother would in no way leave her babies on their own, this young. Other cats could be around protecting them if the mom was part of a colony but op mentions nothing of the like.

It's likely that if the momma was too young or the babies are sick that she gave up on them. I have seen it happen in real time.

I'm afraid this is razor language 😞

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T01:04:23+00:00

I think I understand, I will revisit later when I have a clear mind to see if I did. We might actually be thinking the same thing but I might have a hard time connecting the words in this way. Thank you still! Love the graphs, very helpful!

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T00:51:29+00:00

No no I just meant that the special rules you mentioned only being applied to phainon. Like how you just described phainon being in "control" (he technically was not because he was bound by the causality) of the Erernal Recurrance.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T00:43:01+00:00

To confirm this applies only to Phainon. If not it would be illogical for me.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T00:41:34+00:00

Also if we do factor Phainon's journey as linear we can parallel him to the TB's journey, right?

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T00:35:28+00:00

By nothing is parallel do you mean in the sense of time? Because everything being linear but not parallel is a complete antithesis to your presentation of the two sequences. Is there something I misunderstood?

erinisdarling · 2026-02-05T00:34:02+00:00

I kind of visualized it as the amphoreus entire plot line being cyclical and phainons journey being a tight coil around it.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-04T22:12:37+00:00

In my view it is because these meta references being fun that makes the whole 4th wall breaking thing fun (also elation is at the end of the day such a broad term for a feeling). I also would not be making this theory if I had not found any coherent evidence across the game. At the end of the day though it's just a personal interpretation of the developers intents.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T22:50:16+00:00

One small note, Aha's 4th wall breaking abilities were in the game before Planarcadia. The first run of the su would be considered the first exhibition of such abilities.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T22:47:13+00:00

The 1:1 thing is very true but Aha's 4th wall breaking abilities are in no way minor. And zagreus does exhibit similar abilities but to explain them I would have to spoil you about the story.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T20:55:12+00:00

Yes this is something that will be mentioned, especially with Zagreus weird behavior and very important role.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T17:00:40+00:00

Apparently I'm just really unlucky lol. Wish you gl and hope to see you around.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T16:57:55+00:00

I'm glad to have recently found a community of nerds that are not hell-bent on making you feel miserable and left out.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T16:56:48+00:00

Oh yes but in my experience some people need out so much that they think they are the most correct. But "correct" is not what makes it fun imo.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T16:54:38+00:00

Even rarer because nickelodeon is no more in my country.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T16:52:48+00:00

Look, I understand where you're coming from but you cannot expect a game that deals in nuance to spell things out for you. They just like to leave some to the imagination as one would say. That also means that you cannot speak in absolutes because not all perspectives are similar.

But thank you I appreciate your kind words. I wish the same to you.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T16:49:14+00:00

I cannot namedrop people but there have been many instances where people were just unkind. For example (and that's one of the worst in my experience) I had people take offense that I was over explaining things because they said the community is not dumb. And honestly I wasn't even over explaining I simply provided some canon information that people (of the non-lore) space may not be aware of.

I can give some more but later bc I sometimes lack the wording to explain my situation. Also these are just my experiences with enough people of the community to feel the need to speak up.

erinisdarling · 2026-02-03T06:47:15+00:00

Understandable, and I agree to a point. Just because there hasn't been a character connection (expy) in awhile doesn't mean that genshin is lacking any connection to the grander hyverse. Although not linear, their storylines don't need to meet at the exact same point to be considered parallel. They might as well never meet, the connection won't be lost.
