Shout-out to the person who said the most recent books exclude football. It wasn't about football from the second movie anyway. The first movie is about football, the second one is about a love triangle, the third one is about girl powers I guess (??) the fourth one's about teenage dramas and the fifth one's about vampires (?????) FOOTBALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN SECONDARY EXCEPT FOR NUMBER 1
Well, yes, mostly. I mean it was evident from the start that football in dwk is merely a vessel to convey the story and to build character arcs.
And to me it’s actually a great example of how you can use sports to convey a story about teamwork, friendship and love! I mean Japanese spokon anime do that all the time, why wouldn’t dwk do that too
And well, if the story was just about the kids having to win their next big match every time, that would be pretty lame methinks
