Follow-up to my last reblog:
Many fans have made a valid point that they find Star Wolf + the Venomians are more interesting than our protagonists because they ally themselves with Corneria, thus making them appear like they are "keepers the status quo".
However, I would like to point out a couple of things that could potentially add more nuance to this narrative:
This perspective differs a little bit from Benimaru Itoh's loose comic adaptation of the first game, in which even Fox is openly critical of the Cornerian government + military forces. This is probably no longer considered "canon", as the series has been rebooted twice since then, but it's something I'd like to see brought back going forward.
Star Fox being a mercenary squadron in the first place. Why would James McCloud, a former CDF combat pilot, resign to form his own team + company? Probably his own experience within the military and seeing how it is run influenced this decision. Also, Fox replying "sorry, general. We like doing things our own way" to Pepper's offer suggests the squadron's differing philosophies or even politics that may sometimes conflict with those of the CDF. Sure, they are allies, and General Pepper trusts Star Fox with his life, but I can easily see James splitting off because he kept butting heads with ineffective authority figures and firmly believes that sometimes breaking the rules is the right thing to do.
Now, it would be interesting to see a story where Star Fox does indeed go rogue. Even better if our heroes are forced to become unlikely allies with Star Wolf.
My own headcanon is that General Pepper + Corneria's heads of government does some shady stuff, as implied in the end of Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins. This has influenced much of my fan canon explaining many things from Andross' exile to Venom, Vixy Reinard-McCloud's disappearance, and Cerinia's history + destruction.
Nintendo, feel free to take any of these ideas as long as you give us new content pls pls pls

I know people complained about there not being that much of an age gap in Idolification, but tbh that kinda made it better? I think it's a bit more sad that he latched onto the only person who was the closest to a stable figure in his life like a mother figure in a kind of incest-but-not-incest romantic way. Or maybe I'm just looking too much into it Idk.
tbf i do think most of the complaints are just people enjoying a running joke in the comment section, but i did want their dynamic to be kinda like,,, two people fundamentally misunderstanding what their responsibilities to each other are to a disastrous effect, if that makes any sense. yuuji latched onto the only stable person in his life before immediately being thrown into an extended period of turmoil, and the reader was essentially handed a child and told to take care of it for a solid two or three years while also having a shitty teenage relationship with that kid's older brother who is specifically not around often enough to be someone yuuji can rely on. he's subconsciously decided that they're the only person who can love him unconditionally and they've been conditioned to feel like his happiness and well-being is there responsibility, no matter how old he gets/who should be stepping up for him. also i think an age gap counts for more if one of you was literally the other one's babysitter and that other one has a really poorly repressed mommy kink.
