was thinking about ace attorney, again, and as much as I genuinely wonder how Phoenix is still alive, I had a hypothetical thought of what would happen if he died.
I mean, the first time he was super close to death was probably in the tutorial of the 2nd game. (and no im not counting the poison thing cuz that's only revealed in the 3rd game)
BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA TO THE HEAD, AND HE STILL WON THE COURT CASE. If he died here, ofc the perpetrator woulda been arrested probably due to the phone thing. but also Miles would probably hear about this through Gumshoe while he's like 2000 miles away. and considering the whole "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death" thing, I feel like it would be a great contrast cuz Phoenix Wright DIDN'T choose death, but he died anyway, while Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth is very much alive. also Maya would be pretty sad n all (and would probably be a temporary suspect) and we wouldn't get the rest of the game.
He also could adied in his student days, but that would have been significantly less interesting. He wouldn't become an attorney, Larry would go to jail, yadda yadda. narumitsu is doomed. IF HE WAS HOSPITALISED THOUGH, NOW THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. purely because i think with him being hospitalised after the hospitalisation of Diego Armando, Mia would probably never forgive herself for putting these people in danger, and maybe quit law altogether, imagine beanix but with Mia. CONVERSELY THO, HIM AND GODOT WOULD HAVE SUCH A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP. CUZ IN A WAY, PHOENIX WOULDA BEEN THE REASON MIA QUIT LAW, BUT HE ALSO HAS TO RECOGNISE HIM AS SOMEONE WHO WAS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY DAHLIA. also i think they would have a brotherly relationship they mia had with phoenix, sorta.
and ofc there's the last case of the 3rd game. if phoenix fell of the bridge and died, it would be DL-6 all over again. maya would think she's the reason for phoenix's death. (as if she hasn't been convicted enough already) and Edgeworth would be distraught, Larry too, cuz he saw it happen, and not to mention Franziska would never get her revenge, (not that she ever appeared after this outside of investigations anyway). he SHOULD HAVE DIED HERE. but then we wouldn't get the apollo trilogy so yea.
SPEAKING OF THE APOLLO TRILOGY. REMEMBER WHEN PHOENIX GOT RUN OVER?? yea that woulda been grizzly if he died. Trucy woulda been orphaned, and Apollo would been left basically jobless. (if i was evil i woulda said Edgeworth got wind of Phoenix's death and took Apollo under his wing as an apprentice, while becoming the legal guardian to Trucy) but who cares dawg.
look at this asshole acting like this is a normal tuesday for him.
