I don't like pretentious as a word, it's pretty meaningless and seems to just be an annoying way to say 'I don't like what this show is attempting'. On the other hand ReCreators looks bad.

UBW was definitely a weaker show than Fate/Zero. Shirou's character is potentially deep and nuanced but the adaptation (if not the original game as well) portrays that really poorly. The adaptation should have been much less faithful. (Like, when I played the game, I thought I actually knew what was going on in that climactic Archer/Shirou scene, but now I don't even know any more. Wasn't the original confrontation about whether or not self-sacrifice for an ideal makes sense?) Fangz fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Endorph posted:it was more about whether something flawed and impossible is still worth trying to achieve. See, that was never really my impression. After playing the game the argument in that route is essentially about, well, reasons to do stuff. Archer's point is that Shirou's route was a mistake from the beginning - that his only real goal was to be happy. His saving people was inspired by Kiritsugu being happy when he saved him and passing on this legacy to him, and thus he formed the idea that he could resolve the feeling of guilt he felt by saving other people and ensuring everyone around him is happy. But this results in him being surrounded only by infinite and eternal misery, and misery for himself, and thus Shirou should just die instead of ending up like torturing himself meaninglessly like that. Shirou counters that his ideal is not a mistake, that even if the conclusion is potentially tragic for himself, his goal is the ideal itself and not as a means to an end of personal happiness, and that Archer had forgotten that he went down that route because he personally believed in it and know and believe what he did is right and proper. Like, it's thematically important that Shirou's skill is *copying* stuff. Shirou's resolution in UBW is that fact that you copied - in this case, Kiritsugu's ideal - does not undermine the value of it, if you make the copy your own. This is also why he changes the lines of the Reality Marble mantra subsequently. The problem in the anime is that they broke this by adapting F/Z *first*, when F/Z's conclusion is Kiritsugu discovering his ideal is utter bullshit.

What also broke the final parts of the Ufotable UBW is all the intercutting between scenes. We just kept flipping from cool important fight scene to "Rin in sexual peril!!!" and stuff like that.

dogsicle posted:maybe the person asking about Fate's barrier to entry has an interest in experiencing it, and would appreciate advice along those lines. Sure, you can interpret Aurora posted:How difficult is Fate to get into as "what is the easiest way to get into Fate, for I who would like to get into Fate no matter what". I choose to interpret it as "is the difficulty of getting into Fate high or low relative to the value I will probably get out of it", and I think the answer is pretty high, and the value isn't that big.

I feel justified in saying that's it's not worthwhile wading through 20-30 loving hours of the Fate route to get to the bit that is maybe good. At least enough for this to count as a dissenting opinion. There's a point at which 'oh give it a try' doesn't cut it.

So it's more about the page to page execution that makes people like it, and not so much the broad narrative arc or the premise/setting?

Endorph posted:There's definitely a strong broad narrative arc, but considering the series isn't finished yet and has been on and off hiatus for the past decade, it's hard to comment on it since we don't fully know where it's going. As for the setting, it's kind of fairly standard dark fantasy - though part of that is how influential Berserk was and is on pretty much every fantasy thing to come out of Japan for the past 30 years. I think my conclusion from that is that this seems like good reason to think there's unlikely to be a good Berserk adaptation. There's nothing new and pressing to sell so budgeting will be constrained, there's not really a strong hook for people who haven't already bought into the story, and the elements that people like about it are specifically the elements like art style and writing that are not so easily ported over to a show, but are down to the individual talents of the production crew.

I'm sorry to keep this line of argument going but I rather resent the argument that making things dark necessitates having 'major scenes of sexual assault'. I can think of a pretty wide swathe of dark stuff I'm consumed, both fictional and historical, without any 'major scenes of sexual assault'. (And the thing in common between the ones that have them is usually that they are terrible works.) So going 'oh I can only think of three major scenes' is kinda jarring.

Kytrarewn posted:The basis of darkness in literary works is characters being treated as objects. If you just omit the second half of that sentence then it's absolutely plausible. In the real world there isn't the one model for dehumanisation, for example while rape may well have happened during the holocaust, it would be generally an anomaly in the industrialised process of mass killing with its studious fixation on keeping clean from the Jews. There's also no rape in 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World. When I'm reading Joe Sacco's accounts I'm never thinking 'hmm, where's my rape scene'. When I'm reading Soviet memoirs where it's very clear the speakers may well have participated in rape but they don't talk about it except in the most circumspect terms, there's no loss of 'plausibility'. The darkness exists in what is not being said. Fangz fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Apr 8, 2017 |

Davincie posted:did you somehow forget all the sexual violence in brave new world Maybe. It's been a while, remind me where there's a rape scene. I couldn't remember anything and google throws up an essay saying categorically "no rapes occur in Brave New World as there is no thirst for power or control". Spiritus Nox posted:"whether or not a scene has an interesting point that I hadn't considered before" >>>> "whether or not a scene is plausible", IMO Also this.

I don't see why you would adapt another little sister story from the Oreimo guy if you aren't doing it for the incest fetish crowd. "Nah it's actually about..." rings incredibly false.

(Kamen Rider Ex-Aid hit me full in the face the other day where a doctor wasn't going to treat a criminal because he was a criminal, and according to my American morals I was going "No! You treat the man and THEN hand him to the justice system! You are not his executioner!" -- but also to be fair to Ex-Aid it's hard to tell if it's pushing things for drama or not, so idk.) Hmm, how does that apply to Monster?
