It’s all to do with sexual tension. Aeris, being seen as a rather pure (arguably) character, could never be seen committing a blatant sexual act, so the next best thing is to see her skewered on a sword. Both intercourse and being stabbed involve penetration, which gives Aeris’ death a sexual overtone. That is one of the reasons why people seem to enjoy her death so much…
Or I could be wrong, who cares…
I recommend you see a psychiatrist ASAP.Quote:

Meh, I would probably end up skewering her on a sword...
killing her with a sword, whoa !, I didn´t tought on that, I´m going to try that with my girlfriend
Aeris's role in Final Fantasy VII:
Stars . . . after 30 seconds of annoyance from staring at a boring starfield, the first person you see is Aeris. She is the flower amidst rot.
When Cloud bombs the first reactor and meets her on the street, there is an immediate realization. That being that Aeris isn't normal (like the rest of Midgar) and can't mind her own business.
When Cloud falls onto Aeris's flower patch (symbolism), she quickly assigns him the mission of protecting her in exchange for a date. Of course, my guess is Cloud was feeling compassionate 'cause let's face it, he's no Mugen. There's no way he should have accepted that date over money.
When Cloud heads out to find his crew, Aeris butts in and tags along. She makes Cloud wear a freakin' dress when he could have just rushed in and ransacked the place. (he had to take out half Corneo's crew anyway if you didn't impress the Don). Okay, I guess that was partially Cloud's own fault. Sometimes, he's just way too cautious.
Aeris then pretends to give Cloud and Tifa some privacy when, in fact, she's evesdropping on every word and proceeds to insert her invaluable two cents in the conversation.
When Cloud and Tifa rush the tower, it's a double-edged sword that Aeris is around. On the one hand, she saves Marlene (whom you never see again save for at the end), on the other hand, she goes and gets herself caught by the Turks.
Suddenly, Cloud and the others have to rush the Shinra building to save her.
Fastforward to Gold Saucer and Aeris initially totally blows off Barret in his fuming. She acts as if she's the psychological expert in this situation.
Most annoying line (even though it was true): Hey, that's Cloud's line, "It's too dangerous, I can't let you get involved, blah, blah, blah . . ."
I always hated Cait Sith's final fortune after the defeat of the Demon's Gate. Cloudstar-Aeristar. If fortune really was smiling on these two, how the hell did Aeris end up dead?
Why the hell did Aeris run off on her own? Why the hell didn't she move when Sephiroth was coming down on her?
I'm not really intimidated by a screaming child.
Of course she was clingly to cloud, seeing how the Turks was after her would do that, especially when she has had past scenes with them and her mother, its stupid to call a fictional character slutty because shes clingly, In that case most of us must be real hookers by now.
Anyway, why didnt see move? Lord knows, maybe she didnt see him or was still praying, even if she did fall sideways in a flash of genius, she would still get decapated when he simply waves his sword sideways.
maybe they hate her?
Screaming child? How cute! Good idea ignoring everything leena and I have said about our views on her, and just focus on that one little word. I didnt except anything less from you, and you've yet to disappoint me.Quote:

Just try growing up, gasp! yes people do have diffrent views!
First off, I'm not screaming, but continue to think so.
Secondly, that's my whole point of this. It's fine that you like Aerith, but you're going around saying everyone who doesnt is an idiot and just trying to be tough. You may want to practice what you preach about allowing people to have different views.
where did I say they was idiots? I think there just trying to create a image, dont put words in my mouth dear, If saying my view once is preaching, well this must be a extremist place, a forum! I stated my view, your over reacting to a view someone holds over a game and taking it out of context. for god sake, find a hobby.
Oh give me a break. You know it's a term of speech.
So what's wrong with me painting your views to lookk stupid, when you clearly did so for everyone who doesnt like Aerith?
You're amazingly hypocritical. If this is so beneath you, why dont you quit? Nah, just tell me to find a hobby. Right. Haha! This is a lot of fun, please continue.
your making no scence. run along and cause another flame war, Ive not contridicted myself at all, find someone else to bug.
