    I love this irony of people caring when a character dies, but when they're alive they don't give a shit.

    I like Roman from the start, and from the narrative POV it is nice for him to act on his will for once and gave Goetia a lesson on what it means to be human, both dying with satisfaction. Bringing them back again as themselves is just a cheap ass way to recycle things and made their death in season 1 a laughing joke. Dead people don't come back is an important factor and them coming back is just bad writing.

    I feel for Roman because he got bullied by literally everyone, be it Gudao, Mash, Da Vinci, or his internet idol, his only shining hope.

    IMO, taking the Scapegoat ending for me by default is a laughing joke and terrible writing.

    Yeah I feel like if Roman came back from the dead then his entire character would become pointless.

    Then he is pointless if that's all his character amounts to: a sacrifice.

    not just​ a sacrifice

    ROman sacrifice was good writing for me because it made everything he did before and his entire character just click. It's like the keystone. It wasnt everything his character is about, but it was what made his character shows.

    Not trying to be a shitter

    but I'm assuming from previous history is that you've got a problem with stories that have these kind of scenarios.

    Which I can't help but find dumb. Sure, there is a point where edginess and grim stuff cross a line and yeah,, totally subjective

    But Solomon's sacrifice as an example of that?

    If you really want, or you got a bone to pick with me, we can take these to PMs rather than clog up the thread with what's obviously gonna be a personal dispute between two individuals over storytelling. Otherwise it can just die here, because I know what it is I like with story entertainment and nothing will change that.

    Before I saw your edit, I would have agreed and built on that. But now I see your edit and that just pisses me off.

    Dont have a bone to pick with you, chill. My point is simply that even wo the sacrifice, Roman already had a lot of good writing for his characterization, both the joke a d serious part.

    But the ending sacrifice made all the before even more pronounced.

    But thats an IMO.

    So lets agree to disagree, i guess

    That's fine? I don't think we're really clogging up the thread and I don't want to jump down your throat anytime we disagree about something. Not like we're not on topic.

    I'll apologize, I think I came off too snotty. Just puzzled why a character making the ultimate sacrifice is such a bad thing.
