i am a big fan of “was faith a complete victim or was she the evilest of evils” discourse because it’s discourse that perfectly suits her character. completely victimizing her and reducing all of her actions to being 100% joseph’s fault ignores that she served a major hand in the development of the bliss and how she utilized bliss as a weapon while presenting her as a villain with no room for empathy ignores how her role as “faith” is also a role that makes her easily expendable to joseph just like the previous faiths. like it is kind of amazing how the discourse around faith mimics the “is faith telling the truth? or is she manipulating you?” dilemma in fc5. her character is tugged between sweet innocent baby and horrible vile woman and that discourse itself is just a perfect representation of faith’s character: a mystery in which people are taking sides to the most extreme interpretation of her. for some reason she can’t be more than an innocent girl manipulated or evil incarnate. she has to be one or the other and yk what it doesn’t matter because she’s dead and only she knows the truth!! just like her body disappearing we’re also never going to find out who she truly was and i think it’s so perfect

hello,,? go read divine rivals if you haven’t done it yet!!!!!

i loved the concept of hanzo’s hell being a paradise. ofc his rage and anger will always tie him to the netherrealm. it’s too heavy in him to allow him anywhere else. perhaps he thinks he doesn’t deserve to be anywhere else. but the flowers still bloom around him because the love in him is even greater than the anger. it was all for harumi and satoshi, so of course hell would be nothing but the kindest version for him. he is content in his love and anger and embraces nothing but hellfire and the sweetest peaches and the most beautiful greenery. even in hell the memory of his most beloved ones overpower his anger.

i read a review saying mk2 implies kitana and jade are married lord you better not be joking
