Seraph Writes

Hello again! Just coming back to post about the results of my last poll about Livio and Razlo. I actually meant to post this a long time ago, but I got very sidetracked lol.

These are the final results. Thank you everyone for participating, I loved reading all your comments. I will eventually write a longer analysis on this, but I do want to briefly write about my own opinions on the topic. Warning for Stargaze spoilers below.

This !!! You touched on something I'd been struggling to put into words, thank you! The energy of the scene is what bothered me too. While they did include some lines from the manga, it definitely felt very off. Especially with the way Nicholas kept saying things like "I'm going to save you, Livio." As if Razlo was some demon that needed vanquishing in order to free the "better one." Not to mention how Razlo was also consistently referred to as an "it" rather than a person in his own right outside of sharing a headspace with Livio. It felt like they focused more on his violent nature rather than the fact that he formed as a way to protect Livio and himself. The absence of Chapel and the way his manipulation influenced him does a lot of damage to the portayal here too.
