It's just such a bad story

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:22 AM

Every inch of it

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:22 AM

From Andy and Mix's nonsensical romance

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:22 AM

to the mechs powered by unresolved sexual tension

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:23 AM

to the planet that turns women into men because the people who live there destroyed nature which is inherently feminine

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:23 AM

To the dog man who negs a woman so hard she passes out

Snake-Kun

To HOLE

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

to the "reveal" that EVOL is LOVE backwards

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:24 AM

It's wretched

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:25 AM

It's artisanal bad

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:25 AM

Someone who was a master of their craft put EFFORT into making this

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:25 AM

And every decision they made was just completely WRONG

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:25 AM

It's breathtaking

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:32 AM

God I was just reminded of the protagonist of Aquarion LOGOS

This is Akira Kaibuki

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:33 AM

And his deal is

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:33 AM

He wants to be The Savior

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:33 AM

"Of what?" doesn't matter

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:33 AM

everything

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:34 AM

every story that he comes across he has to insert himself into so he can become the most important in it

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:34 AM

important person in it

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:34 AM

And the plot bends over backwards to help him accomplish this

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:34 AM

He just ALWAYS says the one thing someone needed to hear or has the special insight needed to progress

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:35 AM

People keep on telling him "fuck off and mind your own business???" but he refuses to give up until he's saved them

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:35 AM

and he ALWAYS succeeds at that!

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:35 AM

His power is that he's always right

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:35 AM

I hate him

Every time I feel like I should apologize for my shit taste in obscure nonsense, I'm going to remember that Aquarion EVOL exists.

Someone animated an entire show of that, on purpose.

'being able to resolve everyone's problems by talking to them for 30 seconds, within 30 seconds of meeting them' is basically the universal bad protagonist power

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:36 AM

It IS

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:36 AM

I am no longer sorry for my bad taste, everything I like deserves three seasons and a movie.

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:36 AM

And yet this is Akira's CORE CONCEPT

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:38 AM

there are literally episodes where the conflict is that somebody objects to this, for the reasons we are doing

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:38 AM

like, they want him to butt out and not be incredibly invasive and domineering about their problems

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:38 AM

and he gets mad about it

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:38 AM

and is right

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:38 AM

and solves their problems, the end

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:39 AM

There's an extended sequence later on in the series where the good guys turn on Akira because he's been acting more and more erratic and domineering and shit

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:39 AM

And like beat him up and put him in jail

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:40 AM

And it started out kind of compelling

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:40 AM

because like

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:40 AM

It could have been an interesting plot point for Akira to get so into his savior role that it starts corrupting him into the very thing he's fighting against

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:40 AM

But then it's revealed that no everyone was actually wrong for doubting him

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer

Fri, Mar 10, 2023 5:40 AM

And he saves the day again

Snake-Kun

@Overbringer
