    I mean, it's an RPG, but Tales of the Abyss played the "brat MC" arc pretty masterfully. I think the key is that they realized that Luke was annoying and, rather than ignore it and pretend the audience would enjoy it, they instead used other members of the cast as a foil for him, at least, until his character develops enough for him to actually be likeable. Until then, well, his spoiled behavior is a lot more bearable when the older characters practically roast him for it.

    The thing about the petulant whiny hero is that they have to have at least some redeeming qualities to start with for us to even care about their character arc.

    • @FFKonoko
      @FFKonoko 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Ah see the idea is they gave him character traits that are relateable to the viewer. And they figured the target audience is a bunch of whiners with no redeeming qualities.
      Genius!

    6:10 THANK YOU! I've lost count of how many times I've been told that I can't criticize a character because they're supposed to be whiny and petulant in the beginning and will get better. Also, characters who do this well in my mind are Chihiro from Spirited Away (she isn't overly whiny and is more sheltered and spoiled than petulant, plus she actively works towards goals and doesn't complain about them) and Luke from Tales of the Abyss (again, not that awful and major developement happens a little less than halfway through the story that has him mature a ton).

    You know how you can make a completely unlikable and childish main character work?
    SAO Abridged.

    • @nyxofnight4344
      @nyxofnight4344 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Wow I find fans of sao:a everywhere. Awesome! but I think the reason Abridged Kirito works so well is that he's surprisingly relatable.

    • @madengineerkyouma
      @madengineerkyouma 6 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      I think the reason it works is because, unlike the original Kirito, Abridged Kirito actually has flaws, character growth and depth.

    • @nyxofnight4344
      @nyxofnight4344 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      exactly and that's why he's relatable, he starts out as a childish annoyance but through his interactions with everyone around him, he starts to be become a better person while still keeping his snark and wit.

    • @goufr3540

    Let's not forget Media Blasters released Invader Zim on DVD back in the early 2000s. In retrospect, that was like Lex Luger having a good main event match - surprising to see it happen, but most of the time both Luger and Media Blasters didn't try.

      @Inquisitor Thomas Because you asked nicely...
      Is there any anime character stronger than Madara Uchiha? And I'm referring to the Rinne-Tensei Madara Uchiha with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan Dojutsu (with the Six Paths ability) equipped with his Gunbai and control over the Ten Tails and Demonic Outer Path Statue, a complete Susanoo with Hashirama Senju's DNA implanted in his chest so he can perform Wood-Style Kekkei Genkai and Yin-Yang Release Ninjutsu as well as being extremely skilled in Taijutsu and Bukijutsu.

      Because the space-time continuum was at stake in one point from the incomplete Chaos Serpent.
      Also the Skull of Mordain who could kill anyone with a single thought.
      And there were some others that could basically destroy a planet, if not an universe or entire plane of existence.

  • @Antonicane
    @Antonicane 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Ok, lemme get this straight:
    You have a scene with a shoe-horned in time travel plot in which the protagonist and his primary love interest are left floating out in the middle of nowhere with no conceivable hope of rescue, and they are saved by a spaceship coming out of thin air to play deus ex machina so we can have some false tension before we move on with the story...
    And you DON'T make a Final Fantasy 8 reference?
    Sage, my man, I love ya, but there's a difference between not reaching for the low-hanging fruit and just straight-up dropping the ball.

The six episodes of KoR was such a slog to get through, not helped that it's a sequel to a show never localized, with its lousy dub and numerous faults. I fought it for the fanservice since it had a rather titillating trailer but that anime was a real let down.

    It's like they thought a bunch of twists would make the plot interesting, but somehow the plot twists itself into a straight line down the tubes.
    Herman aught to have been the protagonist, with her own coming of age story. SuperTwit is then made an unreliable ally who is strong, but reckless and his past comes with a lot of baggage that ensures more of the evil king's professional killers trying to hunt them down.

    I just realized. Good coming of age story. Kamen rider gaim.
    Main character isn't annoying. Is honestly a good person but is forced to learn some harsh realities of life and has to grow to not fear or despair from them but face them head on.
    Granted gaim isn't also an anime but eh.

    Whenever I see arguments fighting for characters like this it's always by idiots who only understand duality. The character either has to be Sora from Kingdom hearts 3D- a feckless, clueless, braindead character who's only reaction to ANY situation is either screaming, asking questions the audience already has an answer to, acting like a toddler or full on open mouth all teeth showing smiling. Or the character is Frank fucking Castle it's like these idiots are only aware of two kinds of protagonists!
    Their point is always "Oh I'd rather have a fun happy smiling character who can still show other emotions (Really only anger but what else is there really?) than a big gruff asshole who's always brooding."
    To those people, moderation is a thing. You can have a teenager coming into his own or a down on his luck adult or what-have-you, and they can still be a fucking person! We can have happy go lucky characters who can do more than smile like an idiot who farted in a crowded room (and if he isn't doing that than he's so filled with pride or anger that he just goes on a rampage- lookin at you Goku). And we can also have characters who aren't Marcus Fenix.
    I REALLY just don't get how anyone prefers either of these two extremes...

      I guess it's because the writers of these characters don't want to put in the effort. Who knows.

      Its definitely less wanting and more making due. Alot of writers just don't put in the effort.

      Honestly I doubt it's an effort thing. I'd argue a lack of talent. It's like watching the room. The writer thinks what the character says is masterful, but the rest of us know it all just screams of incompetence.

      o.0 You and I took Sora's character in 3D completely differently... I'm not going to say your pov is wrong, cause it's not, mine might be wrong honestly. I took it that Sora wasn't as happy as he was portraying himself to be and that he was hiding his actual feelings.

    Oddly enough, Sasori came to mind when you mentioned the title and the guy being a literal robot/puppet boy. Heck, I was expecting the red hair guy to have that name.

      Unless I'm mistaken, Madara's English dub was first released in 2003, so if anything it would be the other way around.

    The NES/Famicom Madara game is pretty sweet for what it is. You can't beat genius likes like "Hey, you're from the future, right?" and "You've got balls... I'm going to rip them off your corpse!"
