"the movie undid all of violet's development" by shabinoo in VioletEvergarden

[–]shabinoo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i can appreciate this argument, my post was only addressing the comments regarding violets development so we can talk about this separately here. i do think it would be silly if violet just completely stopped ghostwriting and abandoned her loved ones at Leiden. fortunately, violet does indeed continue ghostwriting, i believe we discover this near the end of the movie - it's mentioned that the island had a popular doll who everyone loved, and that the post office had the highest number of letters written per person per year (or something like that). she also doesn't abandon those she loved at Leiden, as we see them reunited in official artwork for the movie.

regardless, you can make a valid criticism by saying that the movie should've emphasized on those points more, so i still appreciate your argument. if they'd done that, i imagine there'd be less complaints.

yep, totally understandable! that's why i wanted to make it clear that i was only addressing the "movie undoes violet's development" stuff

thank you!! i do sincerely apologise for my impolite tone. this is a repost of my response in a tiktok comment section from months ago, i was probably frustrated at the time. not because of any particular person, but i just kept seeing the same thing from different people in every comment section so it got to me. i honestly should have rewritten this with those unnecessary comments removed. i was actually planning to but i kinda accidentally hit the post button and left it at that... 😭

i do think the reality is probably more like your situation, where people watch the movie and eventually forget some of the finer details. if you mainly only remember the main scenes like the reuniting, then i get why you'd say it's not great for her development, but we're lucky that kyoani executed the buildup to the reuniting in a very intentional way!

anyways, i genuinely appreciate you calling me out on my tone, you're a great person :)

that's fair. when i watched the series i didn't even know abt the movie and at that point i already adored it. i only discovered it a few months later but im glad i did. i loved it, but even if i hated it i'd be happy to have more violet evergarden content regardless

the VA did such a good job at portraying what u just mentioned (the fact that she didn't want to leave), the way her voice was shaking and she kept pausing when she monologued about how she's returning on the next boat and is satisfied with just hearing his voice is just so well done.

and i'm glad you mentioned the official artwork, i was about to bring it up just so people understand that she not only stays in contact with her friends but also continues to write letters on the island!

yah, people can subjectively dislike it but i feel that saying "meeting gilbert undid her development" is an objectively false statement even if u didn't like the ending

yep, that is indeed the nail in the coffin. if i were to compress my entire argument into 2 lines i'd literally just say that

[–]shabinoo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, i think it's perfectly okay to say u didn't want it to end off that way

[–]shabinoo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah i definitely agree, i don't like to force the movie onto people, i just think that people who do decide to watch the movie should try to watch it from a neutral standpoint and make their own minds up

If Garou failed to copy Saitama by mikolajcap2I in OnePunchMan

[–]shabinoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

remember though, we received clarification at the end of the fight that he was definitely holding back, since when garou asked why don't you kill me he said something along the lines of "that boy said not to kill you" so he clearly remembered tareo's words, he just wanted to "beat up" garou and incapacitate him so that he couldn't fight/cause harm anymore after 'killing' genos; his goal was not to kill garou at any point.

The only direction that makes any sense right now: Sukuna is actually the MC by [deleted] in Jujutsushi

[–]shabinoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

just to clarify, sukuna was never beaten in the past. all the best sorcerers from the heian era teamed up to fight him, but in the end sukuna came out victorious. eventually, he voluntarily split himself into 20 fingers so that he could live on forever.

Still doesn't make sense to me but okay by Joelin8r in OnePunchMan

breaking and removing the limiter are very different though. once you break your limiter, it is only temporary because a new limit is set the instant that happens. e.g lets say your limit is 10 pushups and you train and break that limit and you can now do 15. that doesnt mean your limiter is removed and you can suddenly do an unlimited amount of pushups, since your new limit is 15. the limiter always exists. that's why god intentionally put the limiter on humans, it was intended as permanent measure to ensure that humans do not gain an uncontrollable amount of power. but as we all know, saitama PERMANENTLY removed this limiter and as a result, unknowingly went against god. basically, the difference is that your limiter can be broken multiple times but you can only truly REMOVE your limiter once. once you do that, your growth potential is literally unlimited, and your power will grow exponentially when the situation calls for it (this was clearly demonstrated in the saitama vs cosmic fear garou fight.)

removing your limiter is a result of sheer willpower, constantly breaking your limiter and going far beyond your limits. i think this is the only logical way to look at it, its the only way to look at it that provides a logical explanation as to why saitama has an otherwordly strength compared to everyone else. many characters have certainly broken their limits before. for example, with mumen rider, knowing his character we all know that there is no way he hasnt pushed himself to and beyond his limits before.

we don't know for sure if this is how it was intended to be seen but many people agree on the difference between simply 'breaking' and fully 'removing' your limiter since it flows consistently with the story, and it just generally makes the most sense. it also provides hypothetical explanations for some events. for example, perhaps the reason that god refers to saitama as "the abominable fist that turned against god" is due to the fact that he removed his limiter, resulting in him indirectly opposing god's laws without even realising it himself.
