Maybe one day I will air out my thoughts in more detail but i do not particularly like the “anti-hero or villain sudden realises they were wrong and found friends and wants to do go so they save the world” but then “Sacrifices themselves to save the world or save a friend” because “that’s it, they’re character arc is done and wow weren’t they a nice guy after all?” – but that is linked to some very personal feelings so for here I decided to focus more on Ash’s (as a fictional character) narrative opinions instead of well, just mine.
THAT SAID, the beauty of stories is that everyone can give and take different things from them depending on who you are and what your experiences are. As much part of me grumbles about this or that, another part of me is just happy we can talk about stories in different ways to begin with.
But yes, I do sometimes watch too many video essays OOPS
Damian: "Yeah I was wondering about the end of Sky Adventure 2 fight when he just became... good? Then died? it felt a little out of nowhere at first after being such a strong villain. I'd believe it more if we didn't go back to full blown murder in his sequel!"
Skyler looks over a gravestone and states "He kinda tried to kill us all that one time but he was a GOOD FRIEND in the end."
Ash: That's cause shadi wasn't meant to come back to life. after Skyler called his giden title as an ultimate weapone "Fake," Shadi sought out his own path by helping out. there wasn't much left to explore after that."
Daydream of Shadi ticking off a checklist of redemption arc points to hit, before closing a book on his life as he looks to us saying "The end"
Ash: "Hence he was killed off to complete his character arc. He was brought back purposefully to be edgy and to sell more games... actually it is kinda the same plot...? erm yeah, this game is not meant to be too deep."
Ash sweats in embarressment as his exhales "WOW! I watch too many video essays..."
