    I mean I guess it depends on how familiar you were with the myth of Gilgamesh when you first read FSN. I was fairly familiar so I caught it right away.

    Yoshitsune and Genghis Khan would absolutely both stand on their own.

    I agree, but its more there perspective, not mine.

    Skadi could have stood alone, but they went for dumb syncrenetism that no actual anthropologist takes seriously

    Any figure can stand alone because they can and will do anything they want with them, I doubt they've ever been worried about that in FGO.

    They're not anthropologists, they just see a connection and think it's cool, so they do it.

    TM started from doujin community and still part of it now.

    if you don't like how doujin industry runs then it's your problem.

    It's pretty cool how rapidly Helltaker's popularity has grown. I've seen a few TM parodies already.

    I don't know why but when I hear Chaos = Dyson sphere I get really irk

    Like I'm fine with the whole "Greek gods being mechas" but for some reason Chaos really just makes me angry. I think it's because it's trying to make a dyson sphere, a sci-fi concept, into something related to myth and magic. Which is weird because I kinda like the whole magic science fusion fate is going for.

    Yeah that's why it's so weird because I'm fine with greek = mechas. I think Chaos just cross a subconscious line where I think "wow that's stupid"

    I feel like that Greek deities being mecha ships with different functions already crossed that line for some. Or the stuff with Sefar.

    Yeah, but mechas are an established part of Greek mythology since Talos, Deadalus' mercury men, Alcinous' mecha dogs and the Colchis Bulls.

    That doesn't mean that there isn't a jump people familiar with Greek myths have to make from a few mechanical stuff to oh the gods were mecha but then they weren't because of a space invader. Like I won't really downplay that with just there were mecha stuff as well in old stories.

    A Dyson Sphere is a hypothetic space megastructure built around a sun to collect energy from that star. If I remember correctly, there are some ideas about a Dyson sphere used as a propulsive system.
    Because you are too young. Or too stupid. Or both.
