Cinder Meeting Azula Is The Same As Revy Meeting Lara Croft.

Cinder meeting Azula is the same as Revy meeting Lara Croft.

Cinder and Revy would hate Azula and Lara for being born into an influential family with all the wealth and prestige that comes with it while Cinder and Revy were abused and grew up in poverty.

Azula and Lara would also not like Cinder and Revy because they would see them as violent savages who demand something that doesn't correspond to them for no apparent reason.

Did anyone else think Apollo vs Leonidas was like watching pre-heresy Fulgrim vs Sevika?

Pre-heresy Fulgrim and Apollo

- They're handsome.

- They're obsessed with being perfect.

- They want to inspire others to be the best version of themselves.

- They value the arts, music, poetry, and both physical and inner beauty.

- They worked hard and become respected by their "paternal figures" (Big E/Zeus).

Sevika and Leonidas

- They have the same physical build, similar clothes and the same hairstyle.

- They detest a privileged person or group (Piltover/Apollo) because they believe they were the ones who caused the misfortunes their people have gone through (Zaun/Sparta) and seek revenge as a result.

- They are both smokers.

- They both use weapons that can change shape.

With everything that has been revealed to us about AFO, it seems that he is the fusion of Guts and Griffith.

AFO and Guts

They are tall, muscular and have short curly hair.

They were born to a dead mother.

They have a strong sense of survival and they are willing to do anything to survive even impossible things.

They are quite aggressive, especially towards those who harm the people they love.

They are also aggressive towards their loved ones but they care about them.

Because of their upbringing (or lack thereof) they see violence as normal.

They are considered demon children or beings of bad luck.

They both want to be loved but can't show it.

AFO and Griffith

They have white hair.

They both cling to a dream they had since childhood.

They both have a very distorted perception of love, being quite controlling and possessive of their loved ones.

They are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their dream.

They are manipulative and charismatic but sometimes they are childish.

They have a large number of followers and they consider them their saviors.

They are obsessed with people who they believe betrayed or abandoned them.

They recruited children to help them achieve their dream.

They are demon lords (Griffith's case he is literally one).

I don't know about you but the Barbie and Oppenheimer crossover because they were released on the same day reminds me of what happened with Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons that because both were released on the same day, everyone did crossover where Doom Slayer and Isabelle are friends.

It's quite curious how Guts and Casca's arcs are opposites, which makes them complementary.

Guts is so active that he never rests, this is seen by the fact of how little Guts cares about himself or when he decides to leave the Band of the Hawk to find his own dream to be an equal to Griffith and how he decided to go on a revenge rampage instead of staying with Casca which caused the Beast of Darkness to be born as a result, and Casca is passive because she has always prioritized the dreams of others above her own plus she is in a constant fight to recover and maintain her agency that is constantly taken away from her.

Guts has to learn to be passive in the sense that he must learn that he should not do everything alone and that he has the right to rest, to be vulnerable by venting his sadness in a healthy way and enjoy the simple things in life and Casca has to be more active in the sense that she must have her own aspiration and must recover her agency.

It's Guts who encourages Casca that she can be more than Griffith's swords and values her for who she is and it's Casca who encourages Guts to relax, to be vulnerable and that he can do and enjoy other things than just fighting.

Guide My Way (Red like Roses part III) is a perfect continuation of the Red like Roses songs! Red like Roses I was musically all about Ruby, but lyrically it's not about her all. It's her connection yo her mother, and then to each of her teammates. Red like Roses part II is a literal dialogue between Ruby and Summer about the abandonment issuess and pressures and ideals a child si forced to burden after losing a parent. But Guide My Way is Ruby affirming her worth as her own person. She can still admire Summer but the true honoring of her isn't being her copy or her echo, it's being her own burning rose.
