Things that annoy you in TM

[Frostyvale]

Hi Leo. I missed you too.

[aldeayeah]

Medusa is far from boring please dont compare her to Sca it hurts my fragile heart

I agree, being a boring character in FSN is far more difficult than being a boring character in FGO.

their entire actual character is defined by a single aspect ("too strong, wanna die" and "killed humans, want more but not really")

TBH many TM characters are like that.

It's just that, for those featuring in comparatively story-light media, it's easier to notice.

[pinetree]

Yeah but the problem is when their one aspect isn't interesting or explored enough, their roles in the stories they appear are boring, and their designs are bad. There's very little to like in them.

Rider Medusa is pretty boring
but like Heroic Spirit Medusa is pretty interesting. GO actually did a good job for her characterwise

She's only really boring in SN. Since HA she's developed as a character a fair bit. Its just that, like many things, Sakura ruins her in HF.

Yall fucking hidoi

Don't really see how that's true.

Hollow only gave more explanations for things that were hinted in HF.

It was obvious that outside of Sakura, she had a burden she was carrying as well, otherwise the two wouldn't have contracted in the first place.
Regardless of how cold she seemed, and Shirou notes this as well, she was a clumsy person.
The "I am a monster" parts only really enforces her behavior then. She isn't human, she has a different mindset than the other servants, who are all once or part human.


I could go on, but she pretty much was stuck on Sakura for her own reasons and projected quite a lot of stuff. A lot of which was her own anger with humans and regret over her actions.
That is why I wondered why people thought "Sakura ruined her" or "without Sakura, she would be great", and didn't look into the "why".
It's not like she is even totally obedient to Sakura, she just likes her and feels that they an empathetic connection, they had that great scene with Avenger that explained why even. I could understand being annoyed if she always obeyed Sakura no matter what, but that isn't the case.
Ironically, despite her appearance, she is a wildcard with Sakura. She is more obedient with Shinji than with the master she likes!

That is why I tilt my head when people say "Medusa is attached to Sakura's butt" like she licks Sakura's boots and obeys all her orders, she snapped the guy she like's neck and headshotted him in front of her fcs.

That’s the point. Everything about her was just hinted at until HA, that’s why she was so boring in fsn.

[Kotonoha]

A female character whose flaw is being endearingly clumsy... groundbreaking

[castor212]

She's tall.

[asterism42]

She's, what, 5'8? That's 'not short' rather than tall.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

To a Japanese person that's ginormous for a woman

[Magikewl]

Maybe everyone else is just tiny

[asterism42]

To a Japanese person that's ginormous for a woman

Would be a reasonable excuse if Rider was Japanese.

For a Greek woman that's just slightly above average.

[forumghost]

Remember that she's probably judging based on her sisters.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Well no, that's the thing, in FSN when you've got comparison she's tall because, you know, everyone else is a shorty

And the writers, being Japanese, are going to present it that way, because, you know, she's tall to them

Not even getting into who knows how tall average ancient Greeks were

[LJ3]

And thus lolis were the ideal beauty for Greeks

what does that make Artemis

[forumghost]

The reason they needed loli goddesses. Too much useless meat.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I'm sure she can fit at least two lolis in her generous tracts of land

double the beauty?

[Rafflesiac]

Every girl has an inner

loli

beauty

just waiting to shine.
