His lifelong character development was worth it for all his credulity and sincerity during the Disco Elysium playthrough.

I don't know how you could be familiar with Woolie and not see him latching onto Amarant comimg the moment he announced he was gonna play FF9. He's a character with dreads who is completely underwritten after a cool entrance and has non standard weapons. If Amarant's hair was purple he'd literally be what Woolie would get made if he won some sort of "Amano draws your OC" prize.

Amarant isn't meant to be cool. His backstory gets laughed at in game, he falls down a hole, and he gets lowkey called a pedophile by multiple characters because he talked to Eiko like 1 time. Even if he actually got screentime he would never be the 2kool4school edgelord that people seem to want, he's parodic comic relief

It is super weird to see Woolie at 120% thirst as soon as Karlach was on screen in BG3, he is way more direct about it than Reggie

It's not too surprising.

Will I ever get tired of woolie having seen something and then incorrectly describing it to pat who has not seen the thing? The answer is yes, yes I get tired of it The whole attack on titan it would have been better if they had wiped out that last 20%!!! thing is so completely missing the point of the last arc that it's just tiring. The entire point is that even if they did wipe that last bit out, eldians would still split apart into factions and infight and war against each other anyways because that is what humans do.

I guess the AoT Anime-only gigantic cyberpunk futurescape signifying that literal 100s of years had passed and the new conflict could've been about anything was still not enough for the old Woolie brain

I mean we knew he already had a thing for her before meeting her in the stream LP due to picking her as his off camera origin character, but hearing Woolie go that hard caught me completely off guard

I need a timeline of what the game of telephone around AoT was and what actually happened. All I've got is people think it's fascist and some fans are almost flesh golem-levels of attached to Eren since he's the protagonist and those guys are never wrong even if his magnificent plan is to do a genocide.

eren got to see all of time and just kinda meatheaded to a conclusion "yeah i guess i gotta kill everybody" all the discourse around it revolves around an idiot loser reaching an idiotic loser conclusion you can read deeper into it but why would you bother? Eren didn't.

Yeah the final arc and turn for most of the main cast is just so dumb it makes the ending feel incredibly contrived which makes the big emotional moments the ending is trying to land on so loving hollow. Like the whole "Thank you for becoming a mass murderer on our behalf"

they started because the show has strong militaristic overtones and people on twitter are idiots who still have to be reminded that portrayal doesn't equal endorsement

I think it is entirely fair to say that Attack on Titan can read in endorsement of, or at least comically uncritical of, a militaristic nationalism that is, at its worst points, indistinguishable from fascism. If you want to claim it's trying to say those things are bad it's doing so in a real, real drat limpwristed way.

ever since i heard the big twist of what the titans are, i knew the show was loving dumb as poo poo and not worth the time. interesting premise at the start, but there's absolutely no way to take it seriously

The thing about AoT and fascism is that it wholeheartedly believes not so much that fascism is perfection as it believes that fascism is the only model a society can have so it doesn't matter that it's bad, because there's no alternative to it. Fascism is forever.

I'm glad my interest in AOT completely died around the time it was revealed Eren could transform into a titan. Just completely sapped the allure of the story away from me which was the hopelessly outgunned humans trying to take on big monsters with spiderman swings.

One thing I will say is that I'm glad Woolie continued to try to enjoy a show he loved in spite of the insane nonsense the diseased twitter circles in his periphery were constantly spewing out. A lesser, smaller, balder man would've given in and pretended they never liked the show in the first place

I made it all the way to Final Season Part 1 then dropped it. I thought that MAPPA did a good job with the material that they had, but the writing just became way less gripping after the basement reveal.

There was the issue of the use of Holocaust imagery with Eldians in concentration camps wearing armbands with the added bonus that all Eldians have the potential to turn into giant monsters.

Aot may be extremely cynical and misanthropic most of the time but it never says fascism is the right course for anything and shows time and time again the problems with it. It's not incorrect that fascists will try to undermine and take over any other form of government or coopt otherwise righteous movements. Hell, pay attention to current politics and you can watch fascist infiltration happen in real time!

Listen, all I know is that the turning point for me on the series was when one of the big captains or whatever was revealed to be a proponent of putting torture victims into a chair upside down and having a tube go from their butt to their own mouth so they could eat their own poo poo. Like I get the point of the scene was "huh, I think we might have a fair share of bad eggs and psychos running this thing" but buddy I don't ever wanna see that in any medium.
