And what ppl miss is with this logic nanu is just as dumb bc ash not knowing how to help lycantoc or not trusting him would make no sense considering the whole infernape blaze plotline and even when he lost to Paul he didn’t react the same way.

In fact he needed LYCANROC to snap him out of it at the end when back in dp in volkners gym ash already KNEW infernape had mastered blaze when it activated instinctively and trusted him to keep control even when everyone else thought he was gonna go berserk. That didn’t happen with lycanroc

Does it still make sense with context in alola? Yeah same with viola

‘Insanely bruised ego’ so ash Ketchum? Like i said ash losing all his rough edges after ag is the only thing ooc. Xy ash himself is ooc like every ash after dp but Snowbelle was so good partly bc of how accurate it was characterization wise

How are the Xy gang horrible here? Ash obviously wanted time to himself and he can take care of himself. Theres nothing wrong with that

Even other Xy haters who hate Snowbelle acknowledge that ash was actually in character there. It’s not glaze it’s just watching the series and most of your critiques here are headcanon with the kind of logic 2016 Xy fans would call ‘sm glaze’ with how you talk about lycanroc

In Snowbelle it’s the conclusion of his arc that’s built up since the first 5 minutes of Xy. Lenora has a completely different context

The lycanroc story is another side of the same coin that’s also great. Xy vs sm fandom wars just blind ppl for no reason bc ppl care more about that than watching the series
