#its hard to describe. there are some Wretched Fucking Things that happen in aa but they're like...

[readymades2002]

of course talking about it right now is difficult because in funny fantasy universe of aced attorney going “the way that everyone in court is performing a melodrama at all times is so fascinating to look at and examine and think about what it says about them” and i DO believe that but also thinking about real life lawyers playing to the audience as a huge part of their job in front of a jury is making me want to explode with rage. if i hear a lawyer make a sarcastic quip in real life i want to blow them up with my mind

#like...aa is a fantasy world because it works on the assumption that everyone is like. theyre not...mean spirited in that way. #its hard to describe. there are some Wretched Fucking Things that happen in aa but they're like... #theyre like...this is a fight between lawyers more than it is against whoever is at the stand #it feels different. and thats not a neutral thing either you already know i have some thoughts on aa and its depiction of law #as a setting for a murder mystery and all of that. but like. aa as a character drama is very VERY good #and it handles that well and it is usually more...'some of these characters use underhanded tactics but theyre doing what they believe is #best/are a little fucked up but its because of their own issues' #i think aa is too afraid to let its characters fuck up in a way that has consequences. i love edgeworth you ALL know this #i LOVE investigations edgeworth i love his characterization but i also think its like. it is not willing to actually make it tangible #that he Did Some Shit ! #that man has ISSUES but also you get into the SECOND case he's in and he's already going 'uhmmm btw i dont think the defendant did it.sorry' #i love that about him. but if he did something shitty enough to make phoenix go 'whoa! what the hell!*changes my whole life for him*' #then..........show that............... #god. i think it is really interesting to look at this specific topic but for the love of god not right now #in the current day and the current events if anyone so much as says the word 'court' to me im throwing them into a tv like a wii remote #turnabout autism
