Yeah I feel like it was following in the footsteps of the Big 3, heading for a drawn out megaseries length. But now what's in is being fast which puts it in an awkward position. Who really wants to watch the students just fight each other in low stakes for an entire cour? (a lot of people ik but not ALOT a lot) --- |

It felt kinda hamfisted when his son found out and was like "you liar omg!" Like I know from a story perspective I'm arguing that Walt didn't do it for the best reasons, but no one else really knew that. If I found out my dad was a big time drug dealer who got our family tons of money my reaction would not be instant condemnation. --- |

It seems very divorced from intention and individuality and boils down to just what effect you have on the world? Like if you know other evil people exist you're suddenly not evil anymore because well, other people are doing it! (based just on this one line of course) GranzonEx posted... Light was never going to end up like Kim Jong Un until L came for his life This has no basis. Light's characterization from the start was devaluing all human life. He killed the first dude with the truck just because he was kind of a tropey asshole who was hitting on a girl. He didn't care about his family at all. He LOATHED law enforcement for doing their job and took great pleasure in killing Naomi and Raye Penbar. I don't think it was necessary for him to call himself the god of the new world lmao. Power was his motivation. He was an A class student with nothing bad going on but the first thing he does is look at his classmates and go "ugh, these people suck" --- |

You have to pay more attention to subtext. His primary motivation was he was going to die in a year and he felt pathetic all his life. "I did it for me" is literally what he says at the end. Of course he loved his family and I think the show treated him like he was a bigge villain than he was, but he was not just a guy doing it for his family. I'll give you Lelouch because bad writing made things happen because oopsie poopsie. Wouldn't it be funny if I said you should kill everyone in Japan??? HIlarious! --- |

| pjbasis 03/13/21 1:33:03 PM #372 | Nah Eva has a special brand of ending. It's not your typical bad ending. Like I don't even think of the original series or End as having bad endings myself, but they were very very weird in how they were presented and I completely understand the controvery. (Although I'd be far less kind about the "animation" for the OG series today. Back then I was just enthralled by my first exposure to existential philosophy.) --- |

Blue Coins by large was there instead of these. Yeah just blue coins at the end. I had to look up two of the secret shines that involved spraying random shit too like the SUN. The way Sunshine works I don't think they really wanted you to stumble upon Shines unless they were hidden obnoxiously like those two. There's a very strict Episode structure it adheres to. Leonhart4 posted... Also low key one of the worst parts of Sunshine that I never see talked about is the cutscenes are super cringey. I don't know if it's considered "so bad it's good" by people, but I always thought the story was pretty embarrassing. Back in 2002 cutscenes were just something you didn't even think about adding into your game, but now it feels very un-Mario to have these long set ups with talking characters. The volume balance is wack, the pacing of the cutscenes feels off, and it doesn't feel entirely humorous, like you're supposed to be taking what's happening somewhat seriously. There's really not many though, just the beginning, Pinna Park, and the ending. --- |
