Believe me, I think I also get "post-Adastra depression" in different way. And I really really don’t mean to dampen everyone’s mood.
It’s not that I dislike romance dramas, but… from the start of the game, Parents have been interfering—there’s no denying it. To them, romance is nothing more than a biochemical reaction. They have a reason to do this to achieve their goals. They might even mislead you into thinking they aren’t omnipotent—unless Parents truly have suffer a defeat once...
Im very passionate(and autistic) about this vn so i don't like when someone misinterprets it to this deegre, even saying the vn is "satire"
ngl, your takes on Adastra kind of reminded me of a The Owl House take i saw where someone says that Luz is a spoiled brat that made Amity's and Hunter's lives worse by "distracting them from success"(she took Hunter away from his abuser and made Amity stand up to her abusive mom)
So, basically they got everything wrong.
Also-
SPOILERS
there's the Meera ending(wich Khemia implies that it's the canon one) where Marco forces the parents to tell him the entire plan so when he goes back to earth he has the parents at his mercy, he knows tasks he'll have to do and can choose wether or not he wants to do them in advance and force the parents to come up with another way.
I don’t think this explains how, after receiving Amicus’s response, these actions could have a real impact on the Parents' plans.
One of the standards I suppose for a good ending is that the right people are doing the right things. I think Amity and Hunter have achieved this—they’ve each become a better person through these events.
But the question is, has Marco done the same? What specific benefits has this journey brought him? I don’t think the answer is simply that he gained the courage to be himself, nor that he improved his arrogant attitude, because neither of these were really issues, and I don’t see how they would impact his life on Earth.
I just pointed out the TOH take cuz im saying that just like that person got the show wrong you got the vn Wrong
Just because you didn't understood it doesn't automatically make it "satire"
But i guess everyone has their own interpretation of something even if they got it wrong, like for example that bs take on TOH, Jelloapocalypse horrible video about Adventure Time and Lily Orchard's also horrible retrospective on Pokémon(those are what your take reminded me of)
But you seem determined on your view and internet "arguments" are exhausting so im going to stop and leave, and i'll leave this meme that i found on tumblr.
Hate to butt-in.
Like we all know: Everyone has their unique perspective and opinions. Our whole life experience gives us a way of looking at the world that is different to all the others. We cannot be arrogant and assume our perspective is truth.
What is true is what is consistent across multiple perspectives.
Hazime makes some valid points. You need to entertain some thoughts which may go against your values/beliefs, but his beliefs are quite common and rooted in evolution and utilitarian morality. Terribly bleak, but nonetheless consistent enough that it has truth to it.
My unique experience, besides learning about evolution and utilitarianism, is also psychoanalysis. This is not the first time the writer has a negative association with "parents". Chase, in the beginning of Echo, has a bad relationship with his parents. So does Leo. So does Jenna. So does Carl. My gut is telling me they associate parents, even the cosmic ones, as something negative. They may have had a bad childhood growing up in order to form such an association. But I caught onto it.
That's why I think Hazime is onto something and shouldn't be dismissed so easily. It is understandable that you have your version of reality, but others have theirs too. No ones is 100% correct. You have to give them just a little credit and also be willing to try on new perspectives to see their points. Its uncomfortable putting down your version of reality, even if it is just for a moment, but I promise you it wont harm you in the least. If anything, it broadens your horizons and you may learn something new.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and not everyone has to like the same things. There are no objectively wrong opinions; that's what makes them opinions.
