Literally hundreds of games, movies and books out there not made by a monster leading the anti trans movement but you’re still unwilling to give up on one video game to show support for trans people. They are absolutely right about you, nothing hyperbolic about what they said.

you are wrong . She is not just making mean tweets, she is doing very real damage to queer people and women irl.

That’s not really the only reason, Bayonetta is a genuinely good character, a lot of people consider her a feminist icon because of the way she is presented. The Twitter weirdos just aren’t capable of seeing much beyond the surface level.

I’d also recommend Saint’s magic power is omnipotent, not completely caught up on the second season yet but I absolutely adored the first season.

Are we not doing weekly discussion posts for this show anymore? No post for episode 5 or 6.

Yeah took me by surprise too, seems she has zero tolerance for stupidity.

I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate your restraint lol.

Oh no! Another cliffhanger >.>

Kinda wish I had waited until this season was over so I could binge it, I have such little patience, but then I wouldn’t have been able to participate in these discussion threads so I guess it’s not all bad!

I think it’s less that they don’t have romantic feelings and more they just take it really slow, like 100 year long courtship slow. They clearly are capable of feeling strong, complex emotions considering how she broke down and cried at Himmel’s service.

Yeah I love the way she is portrayed, it’s unique. So often in media these seemingly immortal beings behave like regular people, Frieren’s seemingly cold demeanor is just a consequence of her being so long lived, it is definitely a very refreshing take on such a character.

I think she is just kinda indifferent, she doesn’t mind being stuck in prison because 2-3 years mean nothing to her.

You know I would do that if for nothing else than just for the sake of variety, but I’m such a coward >.> Just don’t have the stomach for it lol. The idea of this messed up person redeeming themselves is appealing to me, I’m not doing 100% “goody two shoes” kinda character but more of a reluctant hero who’s still bit of a dick. Maybe I’ll start another playthrough where I play the way you’re suggesting…I’ll never experience act 2 at this rate <.<

After seeing an article about dark urge and how special it is I decided to give it a shot. I also read a comment on here saying romance between Shadowheart and Seluna’s cleric MC is great. So I decided to combine those two things for my 3rd playthrough! ( i have yet to experience act 2 btw…think I have a problem)

I made a Seldarine drow with the idea being that she used to be bloodthirsty Lolth sworn but eventually she found Seluna and became her cleric, now she’s trying to be better. I thought that worked well with heroic dark urge story I wanted and I get to experience the enemies to lovers relationship with shadowheart. Don’t know if the way the story will unravel will validate my headcanoned backstory for her but so far I’m quite enjoying it.

This is also the first playthrough where I met Timber the squirrel, I didn’t know he was in the game before this playthrough, I was kinda excited to meet him…yeah.

If you’re at all into DMC or Bayonetta or just spectacle fighters in general, I’d recommend giving Soulstice a try, it’s not as refined as the better examples of the genre but it’s still a pretty cool game with some neat gameplay ideas. It also looks very nice.

Oh man I wish you put the spoiler warning before the title instead of after.

This patch is the one that’ll have the character editor right? Been waiting for it.

Agree with pretty much everything in your comment, I found this episode to have no emotional weight because of how lacking the second half of the show was. All the emotional trauma and emotional growth that could’ve been explored was completely sidelined for the sake of supernatural fantasy stuff. So many times they would show how Miyo wasn’t able to speak her mind, communicate effectively or stand up for herself and everytime I thought it would lead to some kinda growth or change in Miyo and it never really did.

As for Usuba family, I really hate how the show presented them as secret good guys, that was so weird, maybe a bit out of the left field but it kinda reminded me of wonder woman sleeping with that guy without consent in the second movie, like thats fucked up but the writers clearly don’t seem to recognize it as such. The cousin trying to manipulate Miyo into marrying him and being his obedient housewife who dutifully raises their kids and never ever leaves the house is really really fucked up, but never was it presented as such in the show. The grandpa leaving his poor sick daughter to fend for herself in a shitty abusive relationship and then ignoring his grandkid until her powers manifested was also presented as no biggie, he kinda regrets it so its cool I guess? For a show about a victim of lifelong abuse this show doesn’t seem to recognize what abuse is.

Overall my opinion of the show is it started strong and ended really mediocre, I really didn’t jibe with the second half.

I’m unfamiliar with the light novels so no idea if that is the case, regardless this doesn’t seem like the kinda show that’ll have multiple seasons. Maybe it’ll get more seasons and Miyo will receive all the character development that I’m hoping for but currently I’m not enjoying the show too much.

I think there is a version of the story in which Miyo’s dreams could help her piece together her mother’s backstory while simultaneously strengthening the bond with Kudo as they work together to overcome the burden these undeveloped powers place on her body.

I was really really hoping it would go something like this, it was such a good opportunity to help Miyo explore herself and her relationship with Kudo instead they went this weird route with her family.

It just feels like a squandered opportunity if you want to make a character whose superpower is related to dreams and then the dreams aren’t really used to further the story.

Agree so much. I’m really not jiving with the way this show is going, I hate this perfect victim, goody two shoes, always ready to blame herself version of Miyo, I was hoping she’d learn to be more than that but it doesn’t seem the show is too keen on giving her that kinda character development.

Desperately waiting for Miyo to develop some sense of self worth and stop taking shit from people.

So the cousin’s plan was to make a deal with the emperor to get Miyo back and then what? Keep her locked in the house forever, marry her against her wishes and have children? How is he any different than her previous family?

This is a recurring thing in this show that’s starting to really irk me, characters do reprehensible things to Miyo and then the show just shrugs it off like it’s no biggie, the shithead cousin is already getting a redemption arc without the show even acknowledging how fucked up what he did is, grandfather isn’t much better but with the way they are portraying him I’m supposed to have a favorable opinion of him and I really don’t.
