Affirmation for writers, please!!

Likes do nothing!!

The thing isn't just that we think Ironwood could be written better or the story could be done in a different way.

The thing is that some of us like Ironwood unironically, and we are not allowed to do so.

In my case, I consider Ironwood a Hero compared to RWBY as the villains. This is not just a headcanon, but logical inference from the plot and plot context. Read my posts and you would see. However, RWBY fans don't like that and jump on that wagon like bears in heat.

Mine is an extreme case, but other Ironwood fans are also attacked because they like Ironwood.

Ultimately, we are not allowed to interpret Ironwood the way we want to and these attacks against unironic Ironwood fans is getting a little over the top.

That's what we have issue with.

What hurts the most about Ironwood in the end is that Miles and Kerry did this to the character they created.

I hate to bring him into this, but Monty stated that Ironwood was mostly Miles and Kerry's creation.

So Miles and Kerry took the character they created and did that to him.

Out of the entire cast that could have been an author's pet, you'd think it'd be the character created by the two writers who was there from the start.

Honestly….I didn’t know this before but knowing it now….it makes the whole damn hurt even more. Just….how could you do something so fucking awful to a character you created and seemingly liked at one point? I mean I can’t imagine how you could write that kind of story for any character really but….one that you created? It makes even less sense.

Like these guys made this character, and with the kind of people they are….why didn’t they do more projecting onto him? Why didn’t they want and push for a better ending for him? I just cannot comprehend what their thought process is on anything anymore.

Every time I think I’m as sad as I could physically get about James something like this pops up to make me sadder. What possibly could a fictional character you created do to make you hate them so much to do what they did to him?

Tadano Hitomi's Communication Disorder

I am not exactly sure, but I believe that Hitomi's disorder is that she is living vicariously through Komi Sadayoshi.

Perhaps due to the example set by her brother, Hitomi is dedicated to maintaining the 'normal girl' persona like Hitohito does. However, Hitomi wants to live an interesting High-School life. Especially the High-School Life of an interesting boy.

Hitomi's desire to live a Boy's High-School life can be seen in her hobbies. Such as Judo and Football.

'Befriending' Sadayoshi allows Hitomi to live the HighSchool Boy's life vicariously by turning Sadayoshi into her puppet. This way, Hitomi can talk about the things boys generally like.

And play boy's games like soccer.

Therefore, it is possible that Hitomi's communication disorder is that 'she wants to be one of the boys'. Or a boy, perhaps?

It has to be whatever Penny was using as her weapon while she was a robot. Ironwood adopted it to be able to destroy Penny if she didn't surrender, I guess.

Nitpick November Day....????

I can’t remember its been so long but I actually thought of one last one and just in time too but why does James’s gun gun shoot green?

Now its no secret I’ve always hated this dumb thing, but….why does Due Process’s two guns combined make it fire….green? It looks like when he takes them out they shoot normally and normally the silver due process shoots green and the black one shoots purple (likely as it is filled with gravity dust bullets.

(I know these look bad but I am tired and don’t feel like trying to get a better screenshot okay?)

But what is the gungun doing that turns the shots green? Why Green? I don’t understand and it annoys me and I know (well HOPE I should say) CRWBY has some sort of reason for it but I don’t think the show explains this and it annoys exactly me so uhh I am complaining about it here. 

Now maybe James changes his black due process’s bullets to a different kind of dust or regular but that still doesn’t explain why green. Even the flames left behind are green. 

(I hate this volume and this scene and all it stands for but I am making a point)

Why green? What does it mean? Fire dust is red which would make sense for him to use but green dust is according to the wiki right now plant dust. So dust clearly isn’t affecting the color of the shots, so what is? Why not use fire dust for more destruction? Nothing about this stupid gun makes any sense I hate it so much. 

The Anti-War Message of the King's Man

Because while 'the King's Man' is very much an 'Anti-War' Movie, the overarching conflict and its resolution clash jarringly with the ultimate theme of the film, and in-universe, the very reason why Kingsman was formed in the first place.

King's Man's 'Anti-War' Message -

There is nothing glamorous about War and the film does not shy away from showing how stupid and futile War is. The film, in fact, does an exceptional job at depicting the worst elements of war by focusing on its effect on the victims, rather than on those participating in the War.

Concentration Camps, civilian deaths, collateral damage, and deaths in the family. By focusing on these aspects of War the film allows the audience to experience War as either a nameless statistic or as someone powerless in the face of forces beyond our control. This is an essential element that makes the audience root for the Kingsmen as the Heroes of the film. An organization that fights for the people instead of the politician.

However, the effect of the Anti-War message gets cut in half when the audience is aware that the War was caused by outside manipulation. Namely, the big bad guy manipulating Personalities, and Powers, into a War that the Bad Guy is directing from the shadows. Furthermore, the resolution for the plot's conflict is to drag the United States into a war the US had nothing to do with in the first place.

The only answer to war is not peace, but dragging more innocents into the war. That is the signature military tactic of the British Empire if one thinks about it.

The message would be better served if the War was something that was out of the Heroes' and the Villains' control. Which would mean that both the Kingsmen and their opponents were simply taking advantage of the War to further their individual goals. War is a foolish endeavor, and the blame should not be taken away from the ruling powers the film touts as responsible for the events that occur in the film.

Ultimately, the King's Man is a strong addition to the Kingsman universe, outside of the confused 'Anti-War' sentiment the film is focusing on.

A Spider-Verse where the New Yorkers aren't assholes to Spiderman. I like it!

The Internet seemed to really like the previews I posted of NYC bullying Spider-Man, so here is that episode in its entirety. Enjoy!
