one thing i will never forgive the ace attorney fandom for is the severe mischaracterization and fanonization of manfred von karma. they turned him into an evil harmful abuser and it just makes a weaker narrative overall to me. i dont have any problem with it just being a headcanon because people are allowed to have whatever the fuck they want even if i dont like it but No its considered to be Canon and anyone who likes this character is Bad and its like Babe there is so many other things to hate this man over why do you choose one that is never shown in the games besides Once and that turned out to be a mistranslation and is also from a game that commonly mischaracterized its characters. what are you talking about.
you know what you CAN hate this man over? he was the one that people respected and adored, the one that was considered to be a god amongst prosecutors. he may be cold, stand-offish and a perfectionist, but miles knew he at least cared about him and was his main source of comfort when he needed it. he never knew that he was the one who killed his father and changed his life forever. he never knew that the person that gave him this much love and comfort was the person who made him scared of earthquakes to the point he'd passed out and made him always persistent on taking the stairs. the person who he hugged and cried into the shoulder of being the man who changed it all for the worse.
and for what? because he was a coward. he got scared when his perfect record has it's first penalty - and it wasn't even a loss. he still won. he could've moved on with his life and pretended it never happened. he was still respected amongst prosecutors despite it, after all, it wasn't his fault. yet he just couldn't help it. it was opportunistic and uncalculated. he was filled with such guilt and regret to the point he took in his victim's own son and raised him like his own. knowingly allowed him to cry into his shoulder and told him that it was going to be okay, he's here and that's all that matters when he was the one who took that gun and shot him.
and then people Hate him not because of all of that but because he is an Evil Abuser And Doesn't Regret What He Did At All Because He's Just That Evil.
I somehow haven't seen every horrible frame from this scene yet (a collection <3)
RARE TURBOS... i especially like the first one (The Green Goblin)
THIS IS SCARY.... Nice "Demonic Head Shake" From TVtropes Dot Org
But also the GLITCH BODY HORROR. <3333 Do you see it. It looks like pixels are glowing underneath his skin, and then they erupt outwards. And the pure red glitching in the 2nd one... Is that him wincing in pain .. ? DO YOU THINK IT HURTS... ?
One in the same...
There's something so satisfying about seeing KC completely lose his cool- No more sappy and misleading fronts. He's completely overtaken by hatred. Just showing the world the monster he is. The monster he's always been.
And the way his tailcoat flows in the wind, the red underlighting from the brake lights, it makes him look so VILLANOUS. This composition is SO fucking cool
The glitching has become so intense by this point. He doesn't even resemble a person at points. He's a mockery.
BALD !?? BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD
I have to note this: Reptile has always been my all-time fav mortal kombat character. Seeing him get so much love and actual care for his character has been a blessing. I do still love mk10 reptile. He has a special place in my heart.
