OKAY OKAY SO THE EOS - GTI THING (sending from my main lol)

In eos, the hero, grovyle and celebi are from a bleak and dark world they've given up all hope on and decide it's not worth living in any more, choosing to change the past to make a brighter future, despite the fact that this will cause the pokemon of the future to disappear forever. They're sacrificing themselves (and likely everyone else in the future), but they see it as worth it to not have to live in such a dreary world any more and make it better for everyone else in the long run.

They are the heroes of the story. Dusknoir and the sableye are pokemon who want to continue to exist and fear disappearing, and this is his main reason for opposing them. He is an antagonistic force to the heroes, hellbent on keeping the world he lives intact (until his redemption in special episode 5).

This is contrasted pretty largely in gti - where Munna and her gang see the world as too bleak and broken to be worth living in, and they're willing to sacrifice themselves in their goal to let it all start anew for the betterment of those who would exist after them - while hero and partner's team oppose that, wanting their world intact and fighting to keep existing. In THIS scenario, despite very similar mindsets to eos, the perspectives are reversed, as is who is interpreted as heroes and villains here.

Ofc there's more nuance to it than that - in gti's case the world hasn't hit the point of no return and munna is just lacking faith in those around her (and all that's really needed to stop all this is to be kind and have faith in others), but it's super cool and interesting how different they were able to make two different takes of a kinda similar motive.

oh my god. oh my go you're right. I feel like my third eye has been opened??? the PARALLELS the THEMES I love it so much actually!! I don't have anything interesting to add but I will be,,, Pondering this,,,
