the crime scene photo for gregorys death is just so chilling to me because its such a stark contrast to everything else we get in aa1. we witness cindy and mia’s deaths in full color, almost like we’re watching a movie. jack hammer’s death doesn’t quite look real; the expression on his face is quite unnerving, but the impact of it goes away when you notice his costume and how the unrealistic piercing wound in his chest just makes him look hollow inside. it’s leaning more towards what you visualize when you think of a murder scene, but falls short because of the stylization applied.
and i think this was deliberate because when you get to turnabout goodbyes and you see this photo. man. it hits. the way gregory’s eyes are hidden from view. the way he’s slumped over. the way we can’t quite see the wound but blood soaks his entire chest. how the illustration is framed, him in the corner, almost like an afterthought. the way he’s presented as such a normal person, looking just like any other businessman you could run into on the street. it rips ace attorney away from its largely-unbelievable themes—spirit mediums, three-day-long trials, witnesses whose last names are puns—and sends it hurtling back into our world. it’s just so striking and sticks with you for so long after you finish turnabout goodbyes
I know I made a post about it but I really just need to lay on the ground and think about the description of dunamis as "the very nature of the cosmos" I have been saying this for OVER THREE YEARS

MK: "Ugh, this again? Look, I know you're not really here! I've been doing what you told me to do—believing in myself, blah blah blah. But I'm not ready for this! I can't face the Lady Bone Demon alone. I just feel so-"

Tang: "I'm sorry, it's just that I'm stressed okay! Stressed that Azure Lion's probably taken over the celestial realm by now,"
Tang: "Monkey King's gone,"
Tang: "MK's MIA,"

I just feel so- useless.
Can you believe this one 10 second Tang scene parallels like 3 other scenes. Wild.
