I know this is like a distant detail in the wake of everything going on, but I hope we get Gran Torino admitting he was wrong. About telling All Might to leave the Shimura thing be, about not investigating it himself when AFO revealed it, about telling Izuku that killing Tomura was also an option
Because imagine Gran Torino seeing Tomura after he's been saved. Imagine him seeing Tomura get the help he needs. Imagine him watching and realizing that in a world where Izuku had listened and killed him instead, it can't be compared to the sight before him - of Nana's only surviving family having a chance to finally be happy and have people show him the worth in his life, just as she would have wanted
Gran Torino watching a child hero determined to save a too-far-gone villain, only to realize afterwards that maybe he was never that far gone at all. It just took hope and effort and an understanding that doing wrong doesn't make you a villain for the rest of your life, that there's the slightest chance things could change if you just reach out. And maybe being "too far gone" isn't an absolute, an excuse to take the easy route and go home, but a challenge instead
I got my hands on gbvsr early access and have been messing around with all the new stuff. One thing I've been doing is playing as Percy a whole bunch since I knew his english va changed. Because of that, I wanted to do a little comparison between the two va's and how they differed. So I went back to gbvs and recorded some interactions to compare!! While doing so, I also learned that his dialogue has been changed as well. Here's the vid comparing the two, enjoy ❤️🔥❤️🔥
to add onto that, i think lily’s skill for quick thinking and action in combat/high stress situations is severely understated. for example, halloween in 1981- when james tells her to grab harry and run, she knows they’re both wandless. she likely knows that by the time she gets to harry, james will be dead. but she also knows that if she makes it to harry before voldemort, harry has a better chance of surviving. she probably knew there was no time to grieve or contest, because that would most likely lead to them all dying for nothin. it’s not outwardly stated, but the implication of her quick thinking/action despite being in a life or death situation and also losing the love of her life is so amazing and i’d honestly love to see that explored more :D
Yeah I love this! We also see that James and Sirius look at her wand "warily" she's clearly a threat lol.
Harry is a character heavily guided by intuition and instinct (as opposed to Hermione, who represents the logical approach) and you can read that in Lily as well. She acts on instinct to protect Harry, her actions in SWM and Prince's Tale also read as very instinctive. She's good at potions, which I see as a very intuitive art, a "subtle science". Compare that to James being good at Transfiguration, which is associated with McGonagall-ish rationality, logic, pragmatism.
