Stargaze, the Young Witch in No Man Lands' Oasis
Ok, it was fun venting my frustration by dunking on Trigaze, but it's over now and I'm realizing I'm more hurt than anything else.
I didn't like Stampede at first. My fave are L,R & Elendira, so I expected to see THEM watching the anime and well, I don't think they were quite the same from the manga. Looking back, though, Stampede dared to take the deck of cards that's Trigun and shuffle them around, creating a new story. Something Trigaze didn't even attempt.
Stargaze seemingly got scared of change, and quickly tried to put back the deck like it was before, wasting time in the panic and the process. And it's a shame, really. I realize I was on board with Worm!Milly when they teased the idea, because, at least, it would be different and a FUN idea.
Instead, Stargaze becomes this weird, uncomplicated, Young Witch in the No Man Lands' Oasis. This version of Trigun where everything is fine, a happy ending... According to the creators' vision. And that vision, according to my very queer and neurodivergent mind, is very sanitized.
Nihilists, no matter their trauma, deserve death. Others, deserve a second chance. Women cannot be evil, unless they're too scared of men to act, so women cannot be born into anything but a woman. Disabilities don't exist if they can't look pretty (that poor blorbo all sad), and can't be fixed never to show again. '''Dangerous''' neurodivergent states like DID can be cured by the power of friendship, by erasing what's perceived as wrong. Even if they have a way home, humans shoud change the planet to their liking, no matter who live there first, so they can always feel at home.
White hair? Good. Wrinkles? Bad.
Grass? Good. Desert? Bad.
A clean-cut little world where everything is binary doesn't bring me peace nor love.
