" every Pokémon is allowed to be someone's favorite"
"Well except for Lucario, Infernape, Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, the eeveelutions, Greninja, Mimikyu and gengar because they're overrated and liking things that are popular is bad"
"You also can't let feminine Pokémon like, Primarina, audino, Gardevoir, lopunny, Lilligant, and Hatterene because girl bad"
"You especially can't like Gardevoir, lopunny, Hatterene, florges, salazzle, Meowscarada or Vaperon because that'll mean that you're a gooner"
I was so confused by the way they write Bo-Katan’s story after the lawless, it feels so incoherent,
especially after the lawless, the next time we saw Bo She looked up to and admired her sister's achievements so much BUT before that she wanted her dead so damn much😹 that’s inconsistent character development
And then it occurred to me this problem yes it exists BUT it was sooo easy to fix
Just Give This scene:
To Bo-Katan, or give her a up-close shot of her reaction of this giant bloody mess that her former long time choice she devoted led to
And voilà, everything would be fixed. No one would call her hypocrite or making fun of what she said in the Mandalorian S3 anymore 😹 Just this simple…
(And btw tho this scene is beautiful, but considering how the story unfolds later, I really don't see why there was a need for a close-up only for Obi-Wan here.)
As most of you already know, I’ve been a huge fan of Marco Bodt from the hit anime series ‘Attack on Titan’. In fact, I used to draw some art and wrote some fics centred around him. But since yesterday, I had some time to think, and came to the conclusion that I may have been overhyped about him all that time.
Look, he still has a few amount of moments, but that’s the problem; only a FEW! Most of them don’t even contribute much to the overarching story of the show.
When we first meet him, it’s outright stated that he’s an idealistic wonder; the most innocent goal compared to the main cast (obviously a red flag there). Afterwards, he wasn’t focused on throughout most of the next episodes, kinda like Bertholdt in a way. When we cut back to him, he once again talked about his ideal future which quickly led his friend Jean to get into a fight with Eren - once again is it pushed out of mind like it’s not important.
We don’t see him again until the battle of Trost commences; all he did was follow the lead, call Jean’s name and blinded some titans in order for the main cast to kill them. The only big focus he got was during his small talk with his friend Jean again.
He shares some sweet thoughts about how Jean can be seen as a good leader since he understands what it’s like to be weak, but this will only become important for a certain scene later on in the season. For now, it is quickly established before going back to the fighting.
As the battle continues, one brief scene of Marco saving Jean’s life later, we see the protagonist successfully complete the mission. And what do we find out the very next cut which takes place not long after? Marco apparently died off-screen.
Sure it was shocking at first, and how much so it is from Jean’s point of view, but then again, we should’ve saw this coming. Most of the other minor characters suffered the same fate so of COURSE he was gonna be next. Also, aside from Jean, nobody else was affected by his death - except maybe a big reveal but we’ll cross that bridge in a second.
Just like that, Marco is barely mentioned at all throughout the next seasons, only a couple of cameos. That is, until it was confirmed that he died from overhearing the warrior’s conversation. Honestly, that could’ve been anyone, and I bet Yams didn’t even had a plan to show off how he died and only did this because fans were theorising if he’s still alive or were begging to know what happened to him. They got an answer at least.
Even outside of his lack of role in the story, he does seem pretty one-noted with all of his scenes combined. He’s naive and caring… and that’s it. Can’t believe I was crazy enough to try and explore him deeper when there was no need to. His existence was meant to be the first stepping stone of Jean’s development and that’s how it should remain - he’d be better off with another guy/girl anyway.
I’m sorry if this is all out of the blue to you guys, but I think I’ve just exhausted all of my fuel to keep this praise going. Marco Bodt has come clean to me that he’s solely a bystander or a plot device who can easily be forgotten within the wave of more intriguing things.
Consider this a goodbye to the freckled boy forever.
….
BAH!
Just kidding! Gotcha there for a second there, didn’t I?! Hopefully because this was very hard to write.
Anyway, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY, MY LOVELY MOOTS! Sorry for scaring you. I’ll forever love my freckled angel and wish he had lived and for him and Jean to remain together! 😇 💖
