EP. REVIEW: Mob Psycho 100

I was being sarcastic, if that wasn't clear.

This is so not the hill to try to kill everyone over. You think that someone oversimplified him, I think that you read waaaaaaaaaay too much into it. We have the right to our own interpretation of his character traits, even if you don't agree with it, and you are not going to change my mind, no matter how you try. In either case you make him even sound even less compelling with your gun-ho defense. Let it go.

I know that was supposed to be sarcastic but the sarcasm implied something that was never mentioned so I supposed that also was an opinion on the show or something I said.

And the "right to our own interpretation" is applied to me too, and as long as we can keep it civil, I see no harm in keeping a discussion up. I do not pretend to change anyone's mind or make them like something they just don't, I don't like that being done to me either. All I and Kikaioh are doing is exchanging points of view, in my opinion they overlooked certain stuff and in their opinion I'm overlooking or underplaying others in favour of my opinion, what would be your problem with that? There is a block feature if you don't like my "gung-ho" defense of the show.

What I actually wanted to discuss is on people saying "Nah, this is the typical brooding teenager guy whose life is so crappy that he can't show emotions because he would kill people", to me that's oversimplifying Mob's character, because, like I said before, he has far more relatable reasons to be the way he is than the type of character you're trying to make him to be.

I think it's worth mentioning that the whole reason that character trope was popular in the first place is that a set of people did find it relatable. It, like many tropes, is clearly blended with no small amount of fantasy, but there's still a relatable element to connect said fantasy to real people. In this case, the whole self-loathing-as-source-of-self-esteem thing. So, I don't think the question of whether Mob is emo is a proxy for general relatability.

(heck, I think ONE actually created this first, but don't quote me on that).

↑ To be fair Space Dandy season 1, was not as good as season 2. I mean it had some good episodes, but there was some pretty weak episodes, especially the first 3.
