I know nobody cares, but I will be bitter about Gideon’s death until the day I die. And it’s not because I liked him, but I just find dying then, in that way, and especially mediocre ending.
Gideon lost his childhood friends to his own hubris and he spent years of his life sacrificing himself over and over and over. By the time we reach BFZ he is so ragged from bouncing between planes helping people that he passes out on Jace’s steps. His journey with the Gatewatch could have been handled better, but even with what we got they became another family for him. In spite of his fears he loved again. He had people in his life he could have began to share his pain with and open up to.
But there’s never much on screen exploration of that. And they kill him off having him be self-sacrificing as always (even though we’ve seen that Gideon can extend his aura to others and still protect himself). And the lesson we get is this is what finally gives him peace in his final moments? Fuck that
It would have been so easy, so meaningful, for him to choose to extend the aura to Lili while still protecting himself. To move forward towards change and defeating Bolas together. Two people who view themselves as irredeemable joining forces to make amends and realize killing themselves isn’t what will make their mistakes better
I don’t think Wizards is entirely aware of how expensive their game is and ‘this isn’t a product for you’ isn’t really a welcoming excuse any more. I simply cannot afford to buy random packs. I buy singles. I buy the Commander products every year. But I do so because I can’t afford to gamble with what I get. I want to buy packs. I would love to throw some spare change on a pack, but $7 AUS isn’t money you can casually throw away, let alone $20 on these premium packs. I just cannot justify spending that kind of money on a gamble. I’d rather spend $20 on a single I want.
Sure, ‘this product isn’t for me’. But Christ, I want it to be and it could be if you’d let me in. I’m telling you, I’d spend more money if it were cheaper.
I can't believe my "we released a novel that was so incredibly bad that we had to restructure our entire system for producing and vetting story content" conspiracy theory was fucking. exactly what happened lmao
