    When the serious content people make about you outnumbers your memes by 10 to 1 because you're the flagship of the franchise, you can afford a few (or a lot) of memes floating around. I dare you to find me one seriously drawn Astolfo for every ten or even twenty memes (even if we leave doujins completely out) about him.

    I was thinking that at first, but red coat and that thing start to not look like Grand Battery as time goes on. Now I'm convinced more that he is Shrapnel.

    Tophat Girl on the other hand, will save France.

    Powerlevel discussions can be memetastic too, you know.

    Do I need to bring 'Can Shiki kill Servants' in?

    'Seriously'.

    Well, if you're going to bring that word into play, duh, Astolfo is not a really very serious character, he's always been light hearted relief, which doesn't have to mean the same thing as being memetastic. But asking him to be consistently portrayed as 'serious' misses the point of the character in the first place.

    Marie has a ton of serious art though.

    I'm not even sure what you mean by "meme queen". Unless you're referring to the cringey facebook memes from the English community, which shouldn't even be taken into consideration.

    I do hope that Big Cannon Man really is Napoleon, I like his design. Would have made him a bit, you know, shorter though.

    We started with a legitimate complaint about some countries not having a single freaking Servant and people took the chance to complain a few of the nearly a dozen Servants from their own countries are not the top elite respected by everyone Fate characters, because both things apparently are in the same ballpark.

    Another ruse by evil historians; the real (Nasuverse) Napoleon was a giant but because everyone was jelly of his success they wrote he was short after he died.

    You probably know this already, but RL Napoleon was actually average height. It's just that he surrounded himself with guards who were all very tall.

    'Short Napoleon' was literally just English propaganda

    You probably already know this, but back in ye olde days people were smaller in general

    and if you're going to argue about someone's height not being historical then you're going to have blast with all the fantasy franchises

    - - - Updated - - -

    in other words, who cares about height what are you 15y olds

    Yeah but Servants are affected by people's perceptions and stories of them

    For someone very firmly grounded in fact like napoleon, he'd probably be effected to a limited extent unless you have a skill like innocent monster

    I actually have doubts on that, from what he said in his trailer he apparently had a lot of famous quotes. I wouldn't think that be something that would apply to Shrapnel

    What, the one that's almost definitely Charlotte Corday? I guess that was what she was after, yeah, although it's debatable how much impact she had on the end of the Reign of Terror. At least we'll get some more Sanson lines, what with him beheading her. (Especially with that thing where some jackass slapped her beheaded head, much to Sanson's outrage, and she supposedly blushed at the treatment.)

    Yeah her interactions she would have with Sanson is the biggest draw to me. Because right now Sanson's character is pretty firmly centered on Marie with his guilt over her death, I'm curious what he would be like to his other victims as well (now this includes Robespierre)
