Gaston_The_God

The Great War arc had some great moments but the story was just too hard to follow for the casual audience. Very rewarding if you go out of your way to read the lore but if you only follow the main Manga, most of it makes no sense. World War Season 2 struck a great balance of having a simple yet intriguing story with a one dimensional main antagonist, but also a lot of deeper, more complicated lore for those who are interested.


Jealous_Ring1395

too many story lines that were so far apart tbh, like the western front, eastern front and don't get me started on the other places around the world, the author could have been a bit more concise and should have focused on one person tbh


Gaston_The_God

Here’s hoping the next arc is more focused. The Mangaka hinted it might be nuclear Armageddon to function as a sort of soft world reset. They’ve really grown as an author since they first started so I’m hopeful for the story’s future. Still though that’s just speculation.


Jealous_Ring1395

sounds interesting, but how is he going to top the ww2 arc? like that was the biggest war so far? i hope he gets into a slow burn conflict like the past war was really crazy, I hope the new conflict is something chiller? idk maybe he could call it "the cold war" or smth


Gaston_The_God

Agreed, after two back to back large scale conflicts, a third has the potential to be excessive. Personally I’m hoping for more technological advancement. Especially the air vehicles. The author has really leant into technology since the Industrial Revolution arc so I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if by 2015, flying automobiles become the standard means of transportation in universe.


Jealous_Ring1395

that would be interesting, so far the timeline in terms of tech has been pretty slow, buts it's incredible what the author could think of the past few arcs


Rayka64

Guys look at this leak >Ch 2020 (Mostly confirmed) >Virus break out in Wuhan China >Humanity faces another viral outbreak, like in the Black Plague Arc but the plague this time is much weaker in comparison >People refuse to don masks and be vaccinated, leading to the outbreak prolonging >2 panels of giant hornets >last page indicates it's more of the same next chapter kinda hopeful the leak gets deconfirmed. It would be really weird for the author to basically undo all the character developments in previous outbreak arcs. But time will tell i guess


memelord_1312

Dude, if you've been following since the 2008 "economic krash" chapter, it's pretty clear that the mangaka is slowly building up towards something big in the background. Prehaps we will get the WW3 arc pretty soon ?


NinjaEagle210

Yeah, I was bummed that the Cold War arc ended without the bombs being used. According to Chekhov’s Gun, the bombs will be detonated at some point later in the story.


Unusual_toastmaker

Dude the whole miniseries in the Pacific Theater had me hooked from the start, dude. Absolutely stunning if you managed to follow along with the pacing.


Jealous_Ring1395

That's true, it felt a bit lazy to end it with the atom bombs, though it made sense plot wise but tbf he set it up from awhile ago, although he made that Oppenheimer guy a bitch

A lot of the Nazi and unit 731 experiments are understood today to have simply been sadism masquerading as science. The guy who did the baby kicking experiment, Josef Mengele, is known today by many as the most evil Nazi, period.

No. He's the physical embodiment of the abstract concept of destruction. Just like a tornado, a tsunami or an earthquake. They aren’t “evil”, they’re just a force of nature. They lack motivations or a moral compass. They destroy because that’s what they do and all they can do.

The way I see it, Bill developed a twisted set of morals during his time in the universe where he came from. As it didn’t fit with his idea of what reality should be, he destroyed everything in cold blood and vowed to make sure all worlds would adhere to the brand of fun he desired. It does little to justify Bill’s actions and paint him in a sympathetic light, but serves as a reason for his maniacal demeanor and ambitions… *no matter how petty it may seem.*

Queen actually has an understandable motive given what little information she had. She wanted to turn the entire world into a Dark World so everyone could live happily forever. She just hadn't known about the whole "destroying the world" bit such an act would entail. Not just that, but she seems to genuinely care about her citizens. She tries to make the crew's captures as comfortable as possible, and the werewires you can actually talk to claim being one isn't as bad as they thought. In fact, iirc, she only seemed to have become "evil" once her Dark Fountain was opened. To me she seems less evil and more like a bumbling fucking idiot.

Mulan had only a few songs, yet every one was fire. It had cool action. It had compelling characters and funny jokes. It had an intimidating villain. I don’t understand how some people can consider it a below average Disney movie, are their brains that smooth?


_Alex_Zer0_

I mean, apart from Mulan, no one else is really fleshed out, which is perfectly fine but is also still technically a minus on the movie’s part.


Dependent_Fox38

Context?


seriouslyuncouth_

Disney animated film Mulan. The leader of the Huns, an absolute fucking demon named Shan-Yu (or Wu I don't remember) finds a child'a doll in a valley. He and his group surmise that it points too an army encampment nearby. He then says "Besides," and then the original comment. He says this while smiling. Later on in the film, an upbeat song our heroes are singing about their dream girls is abruptly cut off by the discovery of the army encampment that The Huns massacred.

MrRedoot55

Pure evil villains - or any villain, really - are only poorly written if one forgets to add an element of intrigue to them. The one thing that matters is making them interesting.


Railrosty

Yeah they should allways have a motivation and depth to their character but many times those gray villains with "oh i want to save the world" motives are shallows as hell a lot of the time.


Ulfurson

I mean the nazis had a motivation to establish their idea of a utopia, and to do that they needed land and money for the “superior” people to live with free healthcare, lots of land, and ironically a lot of animals rights, all this at the cost of pretty much everyone else. They definitely had a motivation, one that was deluded and cruel, but it was a motivation. Of course this doesn’t count certain scientists, SS, or other psychopaths who basically just used the opportunity to carry out violence. Guys like Pol Pot and Mao also had ideas of their utopia, they were just terrible, backwards, stupid and cruel, but they still have a motivation and a desire for what they considered a better world. A pure evil character would be something like nithogg from Norse mythology. He chews at the roots of Yggdrasil because he hates it and he hates all life. He chews at everything and everyone that comes to him. He hangs people from his wings. All this just out of malice, there is no end goal or twisted utopia, he just wants pain. He’s not killing to further any goal other than hurting things. I don’t even think he likes hurting things, he just does it out of spite.


samboi204

That kind of pure evil can only be done through something inhuman either literally or metaphorically. Bill cipher doesn’t even resemble an organic life form and all he wants is freedom and chaos,single-mindedly, at the expense of anything and everything else Anton Chigurh from “no country for old men” is another example. He represents a force of nature more than anything. He just kills and kills nonchalantly and often based on a system of ethics entirely created within his own mind. He is calm and methodical and kills just about everything around him for reasons unknown. He doesn’t even seem to take great joy in it. He’s evil like a plague or a wildfire. He just burns up whatever’s nearest him with only chance dictating whether or not you survive.

Railrosty

You can be purely evil and still believe you are doing the right thing thats like basic villain writing advice for novice writers.


Kindag4y

But if a vilain believes what he's doing is legit gonna help the human race then he's not really purely evil he just thinks the ends justify the means no?


blueguest1994

I dunno what op smoking but hitler hated the jews purely because germany hated the jews for so long that nobody can even pinpoint when germany started hating the jews, it might be because germany blamed the jews for the black plague or something that happened even longer before. Truth is, there seems to have been a lot of spite involved. Hell, Hitler vehemently opposed animal cruelty, so unless you think mistreating animals’ cool, your point’s kind of easy to refute. Edit: Thx Reddit for refusing outright basic comprehension.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|ekGtO8r7CY7gVNwbvT) "Um aktually Hitler made laws to prevent animal cruelty, methinks that counteracts him launching a war of extermination that killed tens of millions, resulted in the rape of atleast 10 million women and destroyed heritage across Europe."


blueguest1994

Another strawman huh? I never said it justifies him killing millions of people, nor that it makes him a good guy or whatever the likes of which you could outright strawman. I’m just saying that there still were parts of him that were good, no matter how much the bad parts obscure the good ones. You’re just messing with me huh?


[deleted]

My man that's not what a strawman is. Is that just a word you heard today and are trying it out?


blueguest1994

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument: Person 1 asserts proposition X. Person 2 argues against a superficially similar proposition Y, falsely, as if an argument against Y were an argument against X. This reasoning is a fallacy of relevance: it fails to address the proposition in question by misrepresenting the opposing position. For example: 1.Quoting an opponent's words out of context—i.e., choosing quotations that misrepresent the opponent's intentions (see fallacy of quoting out of context).[3] 2.Presenting someone who defends a position poorly as the defender, then denying that person's arguments—thus giving the appearance that every upholder of that position (and thus the position itself) has been defeated.[2] 3.Oversimplifying an opponent's argument, then attacking this oversimplified version. 4.Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent's argument, then attacking this exaggerated version. You outright misrepresented my point in order to make it seem as though the misrepresentation is my point so that you may easily refute my argument.


[deleted]

My man you are putting alot of effort and emotion into trying to make Hitler work.


blueguest1994

Not really, I did after all copied and paste.


Pitiful_Revolution77

I dunno what you're smoking bud. Are you saying that ops point is easy to refute coz Hitler wasn't pure evil? I got news for you, he was. Opposing animal cruelty doesn't redeem Hitler in the slightest. He led multiple social groups to slaughter and plunged the world into a war.


blueguest1994

Pure evil implies he was only evil, it’s not that hard to understand.


Pitiful_Revolution77

Alright name someone who is pure evil then. A man who kidnaps, rapes and eats a dozen innocent kids a year could have a loving family or a pet he cares for, he's still nothing short of pure evil. Don't get hung up on what pure evil implies literally.


blueguest1994

Exactly, no such thing as pure evil, only in books, movies and such. Now try not to look the real world as you would a fictional story.
