I want the plot to be that Yuuno found a new Doom Artifact (or set of such) on worlds that are not Earth, and he needs Nanoha and Fate to help seal them away. And if the antagonists are meant to be sympathetic, that they actually ARE sympathetic.

Do any of these strike you any differently from how Ghira also attempted to end the ambush of his caravan by talking to the attackers? He didn't know who was attacking him, he didn't know why, he didn't know if they would prove unreasonable. He didn't try to talk until he and all of people...

But does anyone ever accuse her of being "soft", "dangerously pacifistic", or "foolish" for trying to end a fight by talking? Especially when it doesn't work? Doesn't Yang comfort her in Volume 8 by reminding her that "Risks are risks, and you just have to take a chance because you can't know...

Hey, how many times in the show have our heroes attempted pleading peace with enemies who either attacked them unprovoked or had just been attacking them a moment before? Tyrian ambushed Team RNJR in Oniyuri, but the moment that there was a lull in the action, Ruby attempted to talk him down...

Yang seemed horrified that Ozpin had FORCED a transformation upon them. Which is why Qrow assured her that he and Raven ASKED for (or at least consented to and wanted) the power he offered. The others seem horrified that Ozpin supposedly had the power to transform anyone into an animal on a...

If you believe people cannot change. If Raven wasn't going to die in some last heroic act, or repent and survive, she probably would have died already. A character like her isn't allowed to slink off and disappear into irrelevance.

Don’t confuse “I am personally uncomfortable with villain protagonists” with “I don’t think such stories should be allowed to exist”.

I’m not comfortable with Villain Protagonist stories. I hope someone ELSE will give this book the “Just The Facts” treatment I gave the Vacuo books.

Do you know what that word means? I'm fairly certain Adam could have slept with a number of willing women. You might just be thinking of the concept "misogynist", but even that doesn't seem accurate for Adam given how much he seemed to hate EVERYONE.

Completely ignoring that she would have been a powerless child at the time, and thus would not have any responsibility for it. As soon as Weiss could, she got away from her father and opposed him, and started learning that the world was different from how he taught her to see it.

The importance of Adam's brand is not that it means he deserves more either from the world or from the narrative. Rather, his brand's narrative importance is that it persuades other White Fang to let him get away with more. They excuse his behavior more readily because of his brand. THEY think...

I didn't say that the SHOW had to finish before I would decide if I liked it or not. I said that deciding whether or not I liked where the show goes would wait until I see where they show has gone. I'm talking about an episode-by-episode or volume-by-volume approach, where I go into each...

So, does that mean you wouldn't want me to reblog it? I mean, not that I can. You've blocked my Tumblr account. I agree with you in general, but this one point doesn't work for me considering how often RWBY reinterprets heroic characters as villains: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Fairy Godmother...
