One thing I really appreciate about Ace Attorney is that ‘Main Character has a Quirky Upbeat Girl Sidekick’ became a Series Rule pretty much immediately and also every single Quirky Upbeat Girl Sidekick in the series is a different kind of Wacky and so the AA Cast pretty quickly became a very good showcase of all the different flavors of Weirdgirl.

A nepo baby with questionable logic
A Final Fantasy boss trying to assist said nepo baby
clown.
A prison warden with a coat made of live dogs
An assassin who somehow never ends up being the murderer in any onscreen cases
Another assassin who is never recognized despite literally wearing his calling card

Daddy Issues
A movie about a Godzilla Cow
An edgy 13 year old who can talk to the Godzilla Cow and is named after the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption in the fan translation

ace attorney investigations 2 convince me every single time i play it that in that world people can conceive without having sex
until now apollo, rayfa, her brother and this old man whose son died in that fey country are the only ones (i believe?) to have had a mother and a father explicitly shown on the game. all the rest have been single mothers and fathers
(well the feys also Are Mentioned to have fathers that just stop existing after being conceived but that doesnt count)
apollo games brought the concept of parenthood into the phoenix wright series, meanwhile the older games believed in non sexual ways to reproduce

When Detective Badd witnesses some random kid eating a piece of paper in front of him, the defense attorney tells him not to be too concerned about it since it's a strange habit. Just his shocking reaction was too funny to pass up.
Again, sorry for the bad quality of the photo. I used my phone to take a picture.

I don’t know if this is a controversial hot take or something a lot of people feel, but I’m tired of hearing people unironically describe Ace Attorney as being “about gay lawyers”. Because it’s not. Do the lawyers act gay? Yes. But that’s not what 99% of the playtime is about.
At the end of the day, Ace Attorney is a satirical story about the corrupt justice system in Japan as represented by a kind-hearted defense attorney protecting (mostly) innocent defendants from having their lives ruined by misguided prosecutors. Its goal was to flip the cultural narrative that defense attorneys are trashy scum who make money off of sympathizing with criminals. And they did this through episodic, goofy murder mysteries.
So where does the gay come in? They wrote some accidentally romantically-charged dialogue, fans were obsessed, and the writers decided, yeah it’s pretty good, let’s do more of that. So they proceeded to toss in more gay side-banter and whatnot amongst the homicide investigations and court sessions.
Now, it’s not like Ace Attorney is the deepest, most poetic social commentary ever written, but it still has a meaningful theme inspired by a real life issue, so it’s pretty discouraging seeing people either not process it or straight up ignore it in favor of “the gay lawyers”. And that’s not even getting into all the other meaningful, non-romantic character relationships that have way more presence in the plot.
I know there will always be uncritical, shipping-brained people in every fandom, but what gets me about how bad it is here is that people who only know as much about AA as what they’ve heard really think it’s “about gay lawyers”. I was watching Drawfee recently, and genuinely all they know about the games is contextualized by Karina’s gay lawyer ship art and brief plot description of how gay the lawyers are. My friend recently told my other friend that Ace Attorney is about gay lawyers to which he was like oh yeah I heard about the unnecessary feelings scene. This is all he knows about the games.
I don’t want to make this sound like a bigger deal than it is, but damn. It truly feels like a lot of people refuse to engage with media in any way that doesn’t involve smashing male characters together like dolls. If you comb through the entirety of the Ace Attorney franchise, you’ll see that such a small fragment of everything that happens is homosexual law, yet that’s the thing that gets amplified to ridiculous proportions. All I can do for now is focus on the posts from fans that love the games themselves just as much if not more than they love the ships.

I checked my dumbest moments in Ace Attorney poll and while I’m not surprised that “Maya and Trucy being unqualified to be paralegals/secretaries” had the lowest votes, I do want to stress how dumb this really is. I’ve worked in two different law firms for over eight years and, I’m gonna be honest, if the secretaries didn’t know what they were doing, either firm would collapse immediately.
We’re talking about the person who the attorney trusts with running their office. Sending out the subpoenas, drafting documents, uploading documents, maintaining the calendar, taking phone calls, greeting the clients, sending out the bills, doing supply runs and so on. Attorneys can technically do that on their own, but with how busy they can be, that’s why they bring on a secretary/paralegal.
So I’m just saying, it’s insane to me that Phoenix and Apollo decided to put their trust in Maya (a spirit channeler) and Trucy (a magician). Unless Maya can tell the spirits to send out the notice of representation or Trucy can do a magic trick that would upload the case files to their online database, ain’t no way an actual attorney would keep them on.
At least Athena Cykes is a junior attorney! She actually makes sense as an assistant. And she’d actually be allowed in a courtroom!
(This wasn’t supposed to be an “Athena Cykes is best assistant” post but it turned into one lol. While I’m at it, Klavier Gavin is the best attorney)

Sebastian: I summon Pot of Greed to draw three additional cards from my Deck!
Maya: That's not what it does.
Sebastian: No, it does! That is what it does! "Pot of Greed, Draw three--" I summon Pot of Greed to draw three additional cards form my Deck! And I summon Pot of Greed to draw three additional cards form my Deck! Then, I play Magic Force! Which allows me to play Pot of Greed once again to draw three additional cards from my Deck!
Larry: ...y'know, he's right. And I attack, and I went right--
Sebastian: No!
Larry: Well, you don't have any monsters, and--
Sebastian: Oh, he's supposed to be here! (summons a monster)
Sebastian: My turn! I summon Dark Magician Magician! I also summon Jack's Knight!
Maya: You can't summon a bunch of monsters in one turn, that's against the--
Sebastian: You never saw this coming! I summon Pot of Greed to draw three additional cards form my Deck!
Maya: That's not what it does! It doesn't do that!
Larry: That is what it does!

I know it goes against what a lot of the game is about but sometimes I imagine what Ace Attorney would be like if it let you take on more than just murder cases. Imagine what the games could do with divorces or medical malpractice or bankruptcy. A petty land dispute between two rich guys is a comedy goldmine.
