Imagine the couple vigilante dreaming dudes that show up right after every shooting kited out ready to take on the shooter. Now everyone in that area has a different superpower.

Mordaedil posted:Is it a culture thing or does it go beyond that? You confess, you did it. Even if there's video evidence otherwise or a gigantic booming voice from the sky says "he didn't do it". So yeah any scenes you've seen in Japanese-written media where the police/government seem weirdly insistent on getting a written confession now has more context.

Edit: And I don't know if it was mentioned in-thread yet or not, but pretty much the whole thesis behind Apollo Justice was  HEY IDIOTS CHECK OUT THIS COOL THING CALLED A JURY SYSYEM , and the portrayal of the Judge as a well-meaning idiot is actually a very charitable/idealistic one.

Not having a jury system isn't really indicative of a bad justice system. For example, we don't have a jury system in Finland. (not disagreeing with Japan's justice system being terrible)

Slime posted:Yup. Repeatedly loving over innocent people over out of stupidity still makes you a horrible person even if you didn't really intend to do it. They try to soften it by saying "he always makes the correct choice in the end" which is true when you are the player but that doesn't vibe with the plot that Phoenix is getting people off that typically would have no chance whatsoever and they aren't outliers when the prosecutors are really bad. Every defendant pretty much goes into their trial with the attitude of "I am absolutely hosed" and never with the hope that the truth will come out and they will be exonerated. They retconned Edgeworth a bunch since in the first game he was literally a monster that was convicting innocent people and afterward they imply he was just being an rear end in a top hat but was still going after real criminals. The Japanese system sounds like a nightmare. Eggplant Squire fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Jun 14, 2018 |

Aviary Attorney (recently LPed by Xander77) has a character who's basically Edgeworth but actually a good person. (Well, rooster, but y'know.)

You know, I normally don't give a poo poo about filler shounen movies but for whatever reason I'm on-board with what was going on in that trailer. E: I think it's the prospect of fabulously animated punches. I also wonder what's up with Deku getting Shirou' Heavens Feel arm wrap.

Young All Might looks less weird not that we get to see him actually in motion. How much do you wanna bet that red thing Midoriya has on his arm will let him punch with his full strength without breaking his arm or something.

Yeah, see my edit. It's gotta be some sort of restrictor or shock absorber or something (that is one of a kind and he will break by going plus ultra).

Well yeah, as any criminal lawyer will tell you, juries can make really stupid decisions too, and plenty of situations where if you had an option of choosing between a jury and a judge you (theoretically) knew to be acting in good faith your lawyer would really, really want to go with the judge. (Disclaimer: Not a criminal lawyer, just been told this by criminal lawyers on occasion.) None of this has any bearing on Japan's justice system not being terrible, just that trial by jury isn't actually miraculously fairer than trial by legal professional in all circumstances.

Despite the romanticization of "twelve men good and true" in Anglo-American culture, I suspect the New Deal liberals involved in drafting the postwar constitutions weren't big fans of jury trials and preferred professional judges making the decisions.
