The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

Yeah but we've got Macross Delta for that now, which is literally a story about critiquing the idol industry

[SeiKeo]

I either linked that or I actually said it because yeah that's like half my critical angle on Madoka: taking the idol stuff fairly literally.

Or, alternatively, The Little Mermaid.

Childhood ruined (?)

Well, Andersen did write that one. I read that story and it's pretty surprising and enlightening to be honest. Now I don't have to believe that the Disney's version is the original one.

Though they did a good job on Hercules when they portrayed him in almost realistic proportions. In the form of Greek art too.

I could have sworn that Leo once linked an article that asserted that Madoka was a scathing critique of Japan's idol industry.

About the horrors of being an idol in Japan?

Poor Unfortunate Souls might as well be Kyubey's theme song. Or Mephisto's, now that I think about it.

Zero just wasn't lucky with female characters. Half were doomed by previous canon anyway. Does everything have to be indicative of inherent and covert sexism in the System and creators? We have enough overt sexism to trouble ourselves with as it is elsewhere anyway.

[asterism42]

Most of the men don't make it out of Zero unscathed either.

You could argue that even Gil and Kirei don't.

Kyubey is the cute version of Mephisto.

Story's basically a Faust work.

And now back to the thread...

I'm just thinking about the 2004 Holy Grail War of Grand Order...

I think the winner wished for omniscience.

And that's how Chaldea is created, along with those other systems.

That is also true, yes.

[Rafflesiac]

At the very least, Kirei's wine collection certainly didn't.

Heh.

Suddenly I almost want to watch this thing I have never heard of.

[Trubo]

[SpoonyViking]

it was a joke dude

Oh. Well, now I feel foolish. My apologies, then.

[Arha]

Okay, don't want to watch it anymore.

[just Beamu]

Okay, don't want to watch it anymore.

If that didn't warm your soul with a love of J-Pop and Earth Wind & Fire then yours is a cold heart

What i alwats remembered is that Iskander beef is that Arthuria doesnt lead her people as a king, but merely doing an act of self sacrifice like a martyr.

I should reread zero

[LegalLoliLover]

So Jeanne Alter is an evil clone of Jeanne. Arturia Alter is the corrupted form of Arturia, or perhaps, she's just awakened to the truth, and Cuchulainn Alter is... legend-canon? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A..._C%C3%BAailnge His ríastrad.

[You]

alter isn't his warp spasm berserker thing

[LegalLoliLover]

Looks like it.

[Rafflesiac]

Still isn't
