I don't really like Selene's personality, something about it just bores me. She kind of reminds me of Eileen. just less interesting.
The cover for this chapter was great though.
Yep. I just can't pinpoint, but something about this arc REALLY bores me. Maybe boring isn't the right word, not sure how to express lol. Kinda feel hollow reading the past few chapters.
Another psychopathic villain who's doing stuff just cause she's bored, sigh
Not really complaining about the recent chapter. Feels like an all right setup chapter, but I'm not expecting anything interesting to come out of this arc (at least in perspective of plot).
Hopefully, the fights will be decent, which itself is a big expectation when you look at how the fights in the entire spinoff were handled. But I'm still willing to hope, the yokai stuff seems to have potential.
yeah, same.
out of 4 Dragon Gods, 3 of them are totally generic.
one is a total lunatic who wants to fight and has totally unique element we never saw before (fire LOL), another one is just straight up dumb and had the usual Dragons are superior than humans and I'll kill my other rivals and this one wants destruction for fun which is almost the same as Ignia but in perverted way.
hopefully there is more to Selene than this but I doubt it.
only Merc was really different.
Sort of agree.
Ignia is basically just evil Natsu. Selene seems to be the typical psychopathic villain doing stuff cause she's bored.
But I disagree on Aldoron. Aldoron is basically humanity within dragons.
Just like humans view themselves as the masters of earth because of their superior intellect and power (technology), Aldorn sees dragons as the masters of his world, due to their superior intellect and strength (here, literally rather than due to technology).
He farm humans for food & nutrition, just like humans farm animals for food.
Natsu had a piss poor rebuttal when Aldoron called out the hypocrisy lmao. As if humans aren't generally doing that to animals . Where does Natsu think, the meat he buys up en-masse, or gobbles from restaurants come from? Of course it's from animals
someone else mass farms.
Aldoron, IMO, is one of the most interesting villains of the series. Because he is just "human". Natsu views him as a villain, in the same way animals might view humans if they are hypothetically capable of such complex thoughts.
Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but this is what I felt about Aldoron in his final chapter. I couldn't write all it here back then, because I was mad AF from how Aldoron got rekt by Natsu.
Aldoron's plot was the most interesting IMO. The way the fights went? Trash. The arc had great potential, but trash fights undermined the arc.
I also don't think Aldoron is dead lol. I think Acnologia did pretty much what Natsu did to him, and left. Because the guy is like a tree, so he just grew up again. Maybe in 100 years into the future, Aldoron may grow back again.
Merc was a dragon, who pretty much believed what Aldoron believed, but over 400+ years slowly came to like humans. He's like Igneel in this sense, he too once upon a time hated humans and eventually grew to like them (or at least tolerate them). A bit generic, but way better than "hurr burn everything" and "I destroy cause I'm bored".
I wish we got to know why Merc was losing control and going wild tho. It's not like the other dragon gods, who are pretty much same level, are going insane because of their powers.
In the end, I'd say, I liked Merc and Aldoron as characters. Selene and Ignia seems to be utter trash, but we'll see.
For now, Aldo > Merc >>>>>> Ignia/Selene
