Unpopular TM opinions you have

[mAc Chaos]

Yeah, Fate Gil was always my favorite Gil.

[Tobias]

This is a forum.

Yeah it is, but the phrasing of that was one of those shot across the bow rejoinders, which puzzles me as I hadn’t been speaking with her.

[SpoonyViking]

Yeah, Fate Gil was always my favorite Gil.

I prefer his UBW motivations. Less "I'm gonna break her with my penis", more "I'm going to slaughter over 99% of humanity so the rest will deserve to be ruled by me!".

Gil's just doing his job as Humanity's king making sure that Shirou doesn't break the rules of marriage by failing to yield Saber to him first!

and then shirou fucked up anyways, damn mongrel

[TheSeaDragon]

Maybe you should all cool off a bit?

This is what you get from a complaint thread...

Tis

This is not a complaint thread, unpopular opinions can be positive asl ong as they are, well..unpopular.

[SpoonyViking]

> humanity is undeserving
> Shirou fucked up

Po-ta-to, po-tah-to.

[Tobias]

That was UBW and the day of the jackhammer IIRC. He was on top so technically I think he was fucking down

corollary to my unpopular opinion about stories with historical settings from earlier.

people have creamed their pants over the 3rd HGW for years because of how much of a clusterfuck it's supposed to be, with nazis, IJA and so on all checked in. the appeal it has is itself an annoying outgrowth of what could be called the "baccano school" of storytelling (which god knows how many grail war fics have been struck down by) which is characterised by the curious notion that just taking a whole bunch of factions and mashing them together in a big stupid cloud of cartoon violence is supposed to result in a story worth reading - which i won't go into here. the issue i want to raise is that the entanglement of magi/the "supernatural" with "real world"/"mundane" historical/political actors is fundamentally uninteresting. or more precisely the interest is misplaced. from an irretrievably modern point of view - which is what TM should because must be written from - the entanglement so mentioned is only interesting under the aspect of its precise opposite: the disentanglement, that is, the estrangement. through their both literal and figurative occultation (correlate to the historical process of disenchantment identified by Weber) magi - not individually but collectively (though this itself needs qualification) - have become an agency almost entirely detached from common humanity in a world-historical sense. the full implications of this have not been thought through. by anyone. least of all the fuckwit writing case files. only once the imagination of clock tower & associated institutions is purged of harry potter bullshit and miscellaneous anime can we recover the kernel of potential it had

[TheSeaDragon]

It's not that I don't disagree with this sentiment, but at the risk of being beaten into the earth I have to ask how one who cannot disassociate from humanity by virtue of being a human is expected to write something like what you're talking about?

[mAc Chaos]

Dulla's been making good posts lately.

keywords 'detached from humanity in a world-historical sense'

- - - Updated - - -

At least that's what I think the keywords are.

What made TM magi culture unique, I don't think is something the writers pursue now. Imo adult Waver is the figurehead of the Potterization of TM magi, I remember reading very superficially the recentest lore on the CT and it all became like sooo cool there's this ancient magus IN A DUNGEON and all these wacky professors wow it was an actual hs insert setting all along.

[Historia]

i think adult waver is ugly af

[Snow]

Ugly. Looks ain't all but he's boring too sadly.

it’s the depressed gamer lifestyle taking its toll
