#maybe it's because Supreme Leader is always treated with kids gloves in Fodlan games

[randomnameless]

Which story do you like more, Scarlet Blaze's or Golden Wildfire's?

It's SB!

I mean, have you seen that ending?

Slap a kickass song on it, and you have a sentai ending where the hero "disappears" taking down the "evil bad guy" in an explosion! Forget SS, SB's ending is really the ending where Rhea goes down like the champ she is, to save the world.

(wait someone told me Rhea isn't the protagonist of that route?)

Much like CF, I like SB not because of what the playable protagonist cast does, but because I like the antagonists (and it's the only route where you can get rid of Clout!).

Granted, it's a Supreme Leader route, so that also helps : the cast isn't forced to swallow cobras to justify her uwu conquest since we're playing as her and her Court - in a way it's more bearable than the uwu sobfest AG gives us about "wah wah we're participating in this war we BaD" and the "we are invading Adrestia the people here must hate us :'( even if we are fighting to get rid of the people who are playing bowling with adrestian citizens used their heads as a ball :'("

It's also the route where, despite what Supreme Leader and her Court parrot, we see how the so-called "nefarious values" of the Kingdom like chivalry, self-sacrifice and loyalty/devotion are rooted in love, aka affection for people those so called knights have to protect (iirc that's what happens when House Dominic takes the fight!) - and it shows how far Adrestia has fallen (Adrestian Nobles would never do something like Baron Dominic did!), ditto with Rhea knowing "secret routes" in Enbarr's palace, unknown to the current Emperor and her long list of predecessors : a person who was there 1100 years ago knows more about the City than people currently living in it.

In a nutshell, much like Tru Piss, Supreme Bullshit is a route where, if you squint a bit, you can see things that are completely opposite to what your playable cast is telling you (remember Ferdie and the crested Kingdom nobles?), informing the player that the protagonists are, just like in Tru Piss, full of nonsense.

What is shown contradicts what is told!

But I confess I'm biased, because Supreme Bullshit at least gives some spotlight to Nabateans, especially Rhea, who doesn't reappear in the plot only to die - and what kind of spotlight ! She literally steals the show at the end, defeating the Mole People while Supreme Leader is watching the spectacle, eating popcorn and giving a high five to her pal Barney.

There's also the Shamir'n'Catherine scene - that obviously ceases to be interesting the moment when Shamir becomes a part of Supreme Leader's court - where, again, we can see another instance of a knight (even if Shamir would deny it! She is a tru merc, not a knight!) sacrificing themselves to save a loved one.

SB>>>GW.

#anon #replies #3 nopes #there's also the fact Supreme Leader doesn't try to convince people she's right #they just agree with her as a mass of non definite people who joined her Court #take Barney's supports where they stop giving fucks about the randoms who suffer during the WAr #or Monica who is now happy because even if Kronya killed her she would have served Supreme Leader's goals uwu #Clout's path offers a false rhetoric #it's basically questions and reasonings you cannot discuss so why even trying to convince people if no one challenges or disagrees with you #it's more infuriating tbh #maybe it's because Supreme Leader is always treated with kids gloves in Fodlan games #otherwise she falls back on Supreme Replies and 'no u' #the fact Adrestia can't understand anymore how nobles are willing to risk their lives to protect people bcs they love them #and not because it's their sad uwu duty is very interesting #interesting as in another stone to add to the Adrestian Decadence building
