Just one sentence.
"My motives are... complex."
All the Reapers in Mass Effect apart from Sovereign. They just... didn't feel threatening. Even though you literally watch them destroy basically everyone on Earth at the start of Mass Effect 3, they're still just nameless space squid things that you don't really interact with for most of the game.
Well MGSV made the blow a little better by giving us a little more background on the Patriots creation. I feel Signit was never really that bad, and Zero was pretty much redeemed in MGSV. I feel only Para-Medic still falls into the "whoa, when did you become psycho?" deal, but even then, there is so little information from her side of things concerning the Les Efants Terible Project and the one that made Cyborg Ninja, that she may have not been as bad since we've only really heard about both incidents from people who didn't care, or were adversely effected.
There is so much more about Krelian though, people get hung up on the love triangle deal, but when you really look at the situation, it wasn't just about losing Sophia, he also lost faith in the cause she had convinced him to dedicate his life to, betrayed by Shevat who really just wanted equal power to Solaris than to actually liberate mankind, and he also lost faith in the merciful god that Sophia had preached about. His whole worldview was destroyed and he simply sought to find a new truth to replace it, with a healthy dose of revenge. Had he really been hung up on Sophia, he would have pursued Elly as a romantic interest, but by the point of Fei's timeline, Krelian simply wants to meet the true god, the Wave Existence, and he wants to fulfill Sophia's belief that mankind can eventually rise above our natures to do so, he just was going to do it in a way where mankind was going to have to go through with it whether they wanted to or not. So it's not about him moping over his dead not-girlfriend, as much as it's him growing so misanthropic that he decided he was going to force mankind to be better. There is just a lot more complexity to his motive and characters than Wilhelm, who is basically just a humanoid embodiment of a fail-safe switch to stop mankind from ending the universe.
Yeah, the Reapers got less terrifying with each new game.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
That Diablo Reaper Angel guy. His whole plan is flawed and he is a wimp.
