To be fair, Maleficent is extremely powerful in her own right and even in KH3 she still feels it even if she isn't a Main Character. For me Kingdom Hearts made her so much more than any other Disney content and I think during KH 2 she suffered the "Worf Effect" to make Organization XIII look like bigger threats. If you look at her History she's defeated a lot of trained Keyblade Wielders, which makes me wonder how Sora could've beaten her so I think she could've taken on a few members of Organization XIII and won.
That’s all with extra context that didn’t exist at the time of KH2 so I don’t count it. Same with how when I say I love Ansem as a villain I specifically mean how he was portrayed in KH1 before he was retconned into having a different backstory.
>Came here for the Archie Sonics >Stayed for the Kingdom Hearts? Honestly, I have been replaying KH 1 and 2 FM on PCSX2, so perfect timing, I guess. Archie Sonic, you are going to have to wait because there is another necessarily convoluted narrative I HAVE to understand. Edit: Also I want to ask, I want to do a few long essays on KH myself specifically on Cosmology, Lore and Gameplay. You got any tips? I am recording as much as I can, I hope to try and get it all saved.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the videos and leave any thoughts you might have! I’m especially proud of the big kh2 video. Only tip I really have is to come up with an idea by going “what do I like or don’t like about this character, story, or gameplay element” and then just start writing down those things however small. So maybe “why do I like combat?”, well it’s fun. Then ask “what do I find fun about it?” Etc I know it’s simple and kind of obvious but I feel like it can be easy to get lost in the many ideas when writing so this helps me to simplify and see it as less intense or overwhelming. All I’m doing is finding out why I like something snd looking to the thing I like for answers. Then it’s just about presenting all those conclusions in a compelling order that makes sense to you.
It’s pretty funny at times. If you like kingdom hearts 2 story but wish it would take itself a little less seriously then give it a look! It also adds to the original narrative in certain ways that improve it.
To boost the algorithm, here's a repeat compliment from Discord: bro that ending was fantastic as for the rest of the video, it was really good. a nice, short, succinct video with a good point and enough evidence to support it
Did not care for the manga's brand of comedy on Maleficent. It feels OOC. The game itself did a better job using Maleficent for comedy in a way that stays true to her character, without having to give her these exaggerated facial expressions or railing on to the point of self-parody (Pete, otoh, translates perfectly to the manga's humor.)
@@KirbySonicTeam I mean, I like your vocal delivery and your writing. You also didn’t pad the video. I mean, good job all around, I wish you had more content. Your an insightful dude.
Maleficent & Pete are such an iconic duo.
For real

This has convinced me that the writing in 2 is indeed better than 3 and I'm not (just) being nostalgic
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve got two other KH2 videos on the channel in really proud of so give them a watch and a comment if you have the time
@@KirbySonicTeam will do, that was the plan anyhow!
He returns

You've convinced me. I must acquire the manga.

@@KirbySonicTeam Are there Manga adaptations for all the games? I'm surprised Disney hasn't looked into getting an Anime going based on it
"But then a kid with a stick showed up and said, "Yeah, but what if," and then kills her."
I don't know why that is so funny to me! XD
Thanks! I hope the rest of the video was enjoyable too
@@KirbySonicTeam oh absolutely. I was intrigued after your Sonic video and had to see what you had. Love your work. ^^
Thanks so much!

Thanks my friend
This is a great look at Maleficent's character! I always found her annoying lol, so I kinda overlooked everything about the arc she had.

Thanks! What did you like about it?
Good video, have a comment to help with algorithm BS.
Thanks! Anything particular stand out?

Well thanks man! I’ve got two more kingdom hearts 2 videos coming so I hope you’ll look forward to it
