Marty Supreme spoilers

I rewatched Marty Supreme, and it's kinda funny because everytime Marty establishes his goals in the first act I can see with hindsight how they won't come to fruition. All except winning that last game against Endo of course!

Everytime he's like "I'll be the face of American ping pong", or "i won't do that it's beneath me", or "I will not settle down now", or "I'll step up (financially)", I'm just like 🫢 sure you will buddy, sure you will.

i find it interesting that while other nations have all-powerful mystical figures in their history as The important historical footnotes, fontaine has a bunch of humans that became leading historical figures instead (narzissenkreuz kids). though a lot of them transcended their mortal forms to become immortalized in various ways, they still started out as just some kids that befriended each other. i suppose they might have taken inspiration from individualism culture popular in many European countries & real life historical figures for that.

i've seen some people say fontaine's history and lore isn't as developed as other nations because of that, but i think centering the stage on these humans' lives and efforts for a change really reflects the kind of nation fontaine is, and it's a unique point among the others.
