What did they mean by this?
Master manipulator possessing extraordinary charisma & intelligence
Colton Gomez
Wyatt Sanchez
in the manga it's revealed that he did it on purpose because he felt the urge to dress like a girl and liked it
it got dropped in the anime for obvious reasons
Easton Adams
Blake Wood
why are hxh fags so annoying
Carter Adams
Hunter Ramirez
You're just a brainlet.
Jackson Taylor
Magically smart people are more interesting because they're unpredictable and less boring
Since someone will post the Yea Forums screencap I'll say that the Sherlock way is more entertaining because it's actually fun, and more appropriate for entertainment, mundanely smart people are appropriate for a documentary
And historical geniuses still pull off anime bullshit so even that reasoning goes out the window
Kayden Peterson
Based.
It doesn't work unless there's solid reasoning behind what these geniuses do. Magic stuff is ok as long as most of it is still logic.
Carson Long
nice falseflagging
Luis Bailey
But there's always a logic reasoning to it
Only if it happens in reality people either say it's luck or genius, if it happens in fiction people say it's bad writing, it's a ridiculous double standard
Look at a ton of military campaigns that were ridiculously successful against all odds, like Cortes and Pizarro in America or Germany vs France in WW2, if those happened in a LN people would bitch about self-insert Gary Stu bullshit
Landon Bell
Yes. The thing to remember is that Murphy's Law applies to all people, not just you.
William Taylor
It makes sense to expect logic from your fiction. In real life you can die falling from your bed. It wouldn't be okay in fiction.
Cameron Smith
Johan crossdresses because Monster was based on MW and the villain from MW crossdressed.
You can't read an Urasawa manga and NOT expect there to be Tezuka references.
Bentley Allen
Matthew Morales
Law of anime protagonists, they're mostly just lucky
If you wanna be cynical about it, luck and coincidence is what makes history, it's the true unbeatable force of the universe
Literally every important person in history that ever existed owes their incredible story to luck, same as historical events
>the fall of Constantinople happened because the defenders forgot to lock a gate
Or ignoring battles and wars, even other stories sound like anime plot twists in hindsight
>Al Capone was brought down because the investigation team realized that he was evading taxes
Sounds like a shitty cop out because the author had no idea how to have the bad guy lose
Being anticlimactic and dramatically unsatisfying is sometimes the logical outcome though
So an author has to balance between logic and writing a good story
And again, reality is hardly logical
Oliver Moore
>And again, reality is hardly logical
This is what I've said. Reality doesn't have to make sense. Fiction does. Most of the time at least.
Logan Hall
That's actually a really cool fictional concept
Creating a world where there is no coincidence, no luck, no chance, things simply go as they should go 100%
No Maid of Orleans saving the day, no Alexander Fleming accidentally discovering penicillin, no sports team having a miraculous year
This actually sounds like a really weird world to write about
Zachary Campbell
>Cortes and Pizarro
Both were insufficient without diseases killing most of the population
Adrian Murphy
Which is exactly my point, they were so stupidly lucky that if it were a fictional story people would complain about it being unrealistic, despite it being real
It's logical to expect the illogical because it's more of a common occurrence that people think
Easton Gonzalez
To clarify my point, coincidence can still happen but should never be the main factor. A character can be saved by coincidence, but this has to be part of a bigger, logic-driven picture.
Justin Fisher
Of course, I understand what you mean, I was just thinking about an absurd world
Still while I agree that having a fictional work with every situation being resolved through coincidences gets annoying
Unless it's the theme of the story or some in-universe power
Thomas White
This is why shit like 'prep-time' is just synonymous with 'I win'. Real life is just too sporadic to have these type of concrete plans. It's the same bull-shit on how a chemist can drive into a neo-nazi compound with the intent to kill and not have anything go awry. Sure it's all fictional but still.
