So, KH3 is over.

Wow. That sure was a thing.

Closing reflections on both the game and the series as a whole below.

I guess I’m not even really surprised that Xion pretty much got a whole five minutes of screentime in the end after all that build-up. Don’t know what else I expected, Nomura...

You know, KH has always been terrible at pacing, but I still can’t quite believe just how much nothing happened in the first ~20 hours! The Disney filler is fine and all (I mean, the game wouldn’t sell without it), but I have to admit that the initial rush of childish excitement at getting new KH content started to wear pretty thin after four or five worlds of it. Games like KH2 and BBS at least tended to break things up with some big plot events halfway through, right?! I feel like this game really would have benefited a lot from having some kind of breather somewhere in the middle, even if it was just a matter of moving things like the Aqua/Ventus rescue up a bit earlier. They really had to cram a lot into those last few hours, and a lot of things ended up feeling more rushed than they really needed to be as a result. But for all the game’s flaws, in the end I still felt like I was able to leave the characters I cared about most on a satisfying note, and I think I’m content with that.

I really loved the way Axel was portrayed in this game! I feel like they hit a pretty good balance with him in the sense that, yes, he’s obviously realised that he messed up horribly and wants to do better, but he still totally feels like Axel. He’s still very much an obviously flawed and self-centered person who still habitually puts his own emotional needs above others, still wants to frame himself as the hero of the story who will obviously be the one to save Roxas in the end - and I love that the game itself never really buys into that framing. There is honestly not a single scene in this game where I felt like the emphasis was on what a cool and good person Axel is. His constant apologies to Kairi feel incredibly uncomfortable, like he’s very clumsily trying to finally hold himself accountable for what he’s done but still has absolutely no idea to actually handle it. His boasts about being a Keyblade wielder feel like empty arrogant bluster that never really gets backed up. When he pointedly interrupts the big cast reunion to scream “Um, hello, what about ME?!”, it seems more petty and ridiculous than anything. And when we get to the final battle, he repeatedly and consistently fails, on every count. He tries to have a big badass moment rebelling against Xemnas, but Xemnas totally beats his ass, and in the end it’s Roxas and Xion who have to jump in to save him, not the other way around. He has absolutely nothing to do with saving Roxas, or bringing him and Xion back, or even dealing with Saix, despite how much he heatedly promised that he was going to totally do all those things.

In the end, the real crux of his arc feels like that moment where Xion tells him to step back and leave it to them, and Axel just smiles and admits that, yeah, when it came down to it, the two of them were always stronger than him. They don’t need him, and they never did. I love that so, so much. I love the way that when the three of them are left alone together after the battle, he’s just so obviously awkward and uncomfortable and has no idea what to say, until the three of them all just finally break down crying and hugging each other. It felt so totally genuine and powerful and heartfelt, and I couldn’t have asked for more. I really appreciated Axel’s acknowledgement at the end that they had a lot to sort out, and I expect they probably still do, and a lot of it’s probably going to be messy and painful and difficult - but I’m also fine with us not getting to see that onscreen or with the game dwelling on it too much, because in the end, what’s really important as far as the series’ themes go is that they’re all finally here and alive and free to be themselves, and the ending rightly puts the final emphasis on that - on the sheer joy and wonder of them finally being able to live in the world, as people, to be happy and confident in themselves and who they are. Xion showing up at the tower in those beautiful clothes was the point where I pretty much just started crying my eyes out and couldn’t stop for the entire credits sequence. I love that the framing of their final scenes doesn’t really put any real special emphasis on Axel at all; it makes it feel like their happy ending isn’t really about them reuniting with him as a trio (in the way that, say, the BBS trio’s ending is very much framed), it’s about a much broader sense of them being able to live, and to experience the joy of living, with all that entails - that he’s just one of many friends for them now, and that the days of their messed up co-dependent relationship where they all had to desperately cling on to each other to feel human are hopefully over. The only thing I don’t really like about it in the end is Saix being there, but hey, nothing’s perfect. I do wish that things like Xion’s return had been a bit less rushed, and that her and Roxas had more screentime than they did, but all in all, I feel like I definitely got the closure I wanted, and I’m overjoyed with it.

As for the rest of the game... well, I’d be lying if I said the overall plot wasn’t pretty much a giant incoherent mess overall - the finale had way too much crammed into it, a ton of the antagonists seemed to do sudden 180s at the end for no reason, and it was an absolutely terrible choice to spend such a huge amount of time on obvious sequel hooks and cliffhangers (the black box, Subject X, Marluxia and co secretly being ancient keyblade warriors or whatever the hell Chi is doing) in a game that should really have been firmly focused on giving closure to the existing arcs after all these years - but... well, it’s Nomura, and it’s Kingdom Hearts. I don’t think I really expected anything else. But I did feel like the game was generally charming and enjoyable on a moment-to-moment level, the quality of the dialogue and cutscene direction felt like a big step up for the series, and I did actually enjoy the sheer scope and ambition of the final boss rush for what it was. It was absolutely a mess, but it felt like a sort of final celebration of the series and its characters that made me feel really excited and nostalgic in a sort of “bringing out my inner twelve-year-old” way, and there were a lot of great individual moments in there - the RXA reunion, Repliku’s sacrifice, Sora apologising to Namine - that genuinely did manage to hit hard and leave an impact. I guess at this point, KH has been ongoing for so long that it’s just inevitably exciting to see all these stories finally coming to a conclusion instead of just stalling at the same point forever, however weird the execution.

The one big thing I’d say they totally dropped the ball on was the BBS trio; their resolutions just felt completely empty to me, way too easy and simplistic and without any real consequences or acknowledgement of things like Aqua’s fall to darkness and how it impacted on her, or Terra’s rock-bottom self-esteem and the ways Aqua and Eraqus contributed to that. (Hell, when Ansem and Xemnas’s last words gave me much stronger Terra feelings than Terra’s actual resolution did, something must have gone terribly wrong!) They weren’t really ever my favourite characters, so I’m not too upset about it, but I still think they deserved better than they got. And I pretty much just tuned out all the nonsense at the end with Kairi’s unbelievably transparent and cynical fridging (”You require motivation” oh my god get lost!!) and the drama over Sora being separated from her again becuse I just...really didn’t care any more. I’m sorry, I just didn’t. Those two can keep cycling through their same old boring plot forever if they want to, I just don’t care!! I actually barely even noticed Sora disappearing at the end because I was too busy crying over Xion, lmao. Thank god my favourite characters don’t have to live inside those two losers any more. They are free from their nonsense now, and so am I.

So, how do I feel about the series as a whole, coming out of KH3? I’ve spent quite a bit of time revisiting and reflecting back on the older games in the run-up to KH3′s release, and honestly, I think my opinion coming out is more or less the same as it was coming in. I can’t really honestly say that the series as a whole is good, and it’s probably not at all worth the investment for anyone new to the series trying to get into it now - but I do feel that there is genuinely a lot of good stuff in there among all the nonsense, and I’d have to say that my personal experience growing up with the series and following it all these years has been an overwhelmingly positive one, overall.

KH1 was a very conventional shounen story, but a charming and beautifully told one. CoM was a genuinely unique and unsettling game that pulled apart KH1 in a ton of interesting ways, and even if the series didn’t have the guts to really keep going with the ideas it set up, I still feel that it was really interesting and cool as a standalone. KH2 was a mess, but it was an epic mess that I totally loved and obsessed over as a twelve-year-old, and it set up some genuinely fascinating concepts with Roxas, the Nobodies and the Organization which 358/2 Days went on to capitalise on incredibly well. I genuinely find 358/2 Days to be a game that still has a lot of power and resonance for me even now; it’s probably the only KH game I’d say I wholeheartedly respect and admire from a writing perspective, and I still love how comprehensively it tears apart everything KH2 was trying to say (in a way that the series totally was willing to run with and expand on, unlike CoM, which even 10 years later is still kind of unbelievable to me). BBS’s writing was a big step down from Days, but there were still a lot of really cool and interesting characters and concepts in there, and even if KH3 ultimately failed to stick the landing on them, I’d still say that a lot of what the game tried to communicate with Terra’s character in particular has continued to stick with me. Re:coded and DDD were both pretty silly, but they were still totally fun and addictive games (debugging system sectors was great fun, and I can’t hate anything as transparently Pokemon-derivative as the Dream Eaters), and I loved how they both so unapologetically continued down the path Days set up in kicking KH2′s original conclusions about Nobodies to the curb. And KH3, for all its missteps, still managed to cap off the character arcs and themes that I most cared about in a way that was ultimately satisfying to me. The overarching plot might have been absolute nonsense, and the series more often than not a ridiculous and filler-bloated mess, but in the end I really can’t feel anything but happy and positive memories when I look back on any of these games. I can’t really hold the series’ flaws against it too much when it’s brought me so much joy over all these years.

I think the one thing I love and appreciate most about the series, looking back now, really is just how willing they were to scream from the rooftops that the sacrifices Roxas and Xion were pushed into making were categorically wrong, that they deserved to be their own people, right through to the very end. In the end, the series was already pretty much irreversibly going down the path of bringing them back and giving them their own happy endings by the end of DDD - which was amazing - so in the end all KH3 really had to do for me to love it was to just complete that obvious final step, and I was more or less guaranteed to be okay with whatever other nonsense it might do. But even so, there was a part of me that still couldn’t quite believe it seeing their happy ending at the end of KH3; I still almost couldn’t process that this was actually real, that they actually seriously did it. KH2 so obviously wanted its players to uncritically take Roxas’s choice to go back to being part of Sora as a good thing, and even Days left a heck of a lot of wiggle room for people to read Xion’s willingness to sacrifice herself as a positive choice, rather than something she very clearly did not want but was forced to convince herself was okay because she simply wasn’t given any other viable options.

And this kind of goofy shounen-adjacent series having a lot of disturbing and uncomfortable subtext beneath the surface of its seemingly conventional plotlines isn’t exactly a rare thing in itself, but I feel like it’s pretty uncommon to see a series like this go so far in explicitly bringing out that subtext and making it into text - unambiguously shouting from the rooftops and making it outright unavoidable canon that, no, Days was in fact not just a tragic story about people with no hearts who were always just tragically doomed from the start to sacrifice themselves and return to the “real people” they came from, but was in fact a story about perfectly real and complete and valuable people being subtly and systematically brainwashed into believing that they had no hearts and were less real and valid and important than others, about the horrible things those kinds of beliefs can do to people and about force them to willingly dehumanise both themselves and others to cope. Xion’s story was not a beautiful tale about accepting her true nature as a part of Sora’s memories and willingly returning to him, it was a story about a person who absolutely deserved and wanted to live for herself having her entire identity and self-confidence crushed and destroyed, about her being pushed into becoming actively suicidal even by perfectly “well-meaning” people. Roxas’s tragedy was in fact not just that he “didn’t get to meet Sora himself” before getting assimilated back into him - him being assimilated into someone else in the first place was the tragedy, because giving his own independently developed self up should never have to be something anyone has to do. Namine merging with Kairi was not a beautiful happy ending, it was an incredibly depressed and guilt-ridden person taking the first excuse she had to fade away because she no longer saw any value in herself and her existence, and Sora and Kairi uncritically validated that perception of herself by accepting her merge with Kairi as right in a way that they absolutely shouldn’t have.

None of this is reduced to subtext or interpretation, KH makes it all outright canon by implication - and not only makes it canon but actively sets up the entire main thrust of its epic multi-game arc to be about setting these mistakes right and bringing these people back and validating them as full human beings in their own right. And honestly, I just think that’s incredible. I love it, and I’ll always be grateful for it, and a huge part of what lets me keep coming back to games like 358/2 Days and still being able to fully appreciate them even now is having that knowledge that these interpretations are not just me reading too much into the text, but that they have been outright objectively confirmed as the correct readings within the series itself, over and over again, and only more and more and more explicitly and unavoidably as time has gone on. I honestly can’t express how much it means to me that KH is so loud and unambiguous about how much it loves and values and holds up these people as real and important, whatever their origins, whatever the fanbase might have to say about how bringing them back is “fanservice�� and “ruining their original conclusions”. It’s so important to me, and I’m so thankful for it.

So yes, overall, I think I’m content with this game, and with the series in general! As long-awaited series finales go, I’ll definitely take it over things like Homestuck and Zero Escape’s efforts any day. I feel pretty much happy ending my time with the series on this note, and while I probably will still end up checking out whatever Nomura does next, I think it will probably be more out of vague curiosity than any strong investment by now, which is fine - the plotlines I cared about most within the series have now been pretty definitively closed, to my satisfaction, and I doubt anything else it does will manage to interest me nearly as much, but I’m sure I’ll still be willing to pop in again in a few years anyway for old times’ sake. For now, I am free, and I’d have to say that feels pretty good! I’m willing to forgive Kingdom Hearts a lot just because it’s brought me so much joy over the years, and I can’t think of any other series that has managed to stay emotionally significant to me for as much of my life as this one has. So in the end, all I can say is: thank you, Tetsuya Nomura! Keep on co-opting those beloved Disney movies to indulge your absurdly convoluted shounen anime nonsense, you wonderful, ridiculous man.

New Post has been published on http://www.packernet.com/blog/2017/05/16/5-most-underrated-and-overrated-packers-players/

5 most underrated and overrated Packers players

Every year on every team there are certain players that receive an undue amount of praise, whether it be for accolades of the past, premier position, or otherwise. Conversely there also seem to be a good number of players that, no matter how well they play, there is never any praise bestowed on them. Whatever the reason, today I’m setting the record straight on 10 players. 5 overrated and 5 underrated.

In terms of how I made my determination, I started with my own subjective memory of how players performed but the final determinations were backed by Pro Football Focus.

I know some people have issues with PFF but I have yet to find one person tell me a better way to objectively ascribe a value to a player. I’m sure you’ve watched every Packers game, as I have, maybe even watched them multiple times but did you watch every player on every snap of every play of every game and grade them objectively? Probably not.

That said, PFF provides support for what I have to say, but not proof. Feel free to call me an idiot at any time.

Overrated

As an “in Ted we trust” type fan, I try to keep things positive. With that, I’ll get the ugly part out of the way first. To be clear, though, overrated and untalented are different things. I’m not saying anyone is garbage (necessarily), just that there is more praise or optimism in a player than is warranted based on their performance.

5. Damarious Randall

It seems odd to add a player that nobody is very happy with the to “overrated” category. The reason I did, however, is due to the fact that the assumed starting roster will be Kevin King, Davon House, and Damarious Randall, with King and House occupying the boundary.

I understand the confidence with Randall is low but the fact that he is given place over Rollins, Gunter, Goodson, Hawkins, Waters, Rivers, Brown, and Pipkins tells me there is at least more confidence with Randall than 8 other corners currently with the team.

That’s where I have an issue. I hope more than anything Randall lives up to his first round draft status but there is nothing I can look at objectively that would give me a reason to believe he is the third best corner on the team.

Of the 6 players currently with the Packers that were graded by PFF, would you like to guess who was dead last? It was Randall. Of the 47 players on the Packers roster that have grades, can you guess where Randall was ranked. Dead last. The worst player on the entire team in 2016.

In 2015, Randall had a slightly better year but he was still the worst of the three rookie corners (Randall, Rollins, Gunter).

I’m with you 100% if we assume he will have a better year in 2017 but I find it outright strange that Randall is given such high status with nothing to show for it.

4. Davante Adams

Adams is difficult, only because it’s hard to put my finger on the pulse of the fan base. Clearly Adams was a marked man in his first two years. The guy was pushed to the front of the line in front of fan favorites like Abbrederis and Janis and was unable to produce. In 2016, Adams made a massive leap, which largely quieted the anti-Adams sentiment among the fans. Still, the consensus seems to be that Adams is the de facto number two in Green Bay. That’s nonsense.

First, there’s Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, and then there’s everyone else. Those two are on another level. Adams may currently be the best option to line up wide, opposite Jordy Nelson, but his talent doesn’t separate him from the competition by any serious margin.

To help make my case, without giving away specific grades, Davante Adams was graded as average and was sandwiched between Terrance Williams and Kendall Wright. Adams may be a number 1 receiver in Chicago but in Green Bay with Geronimo nipping at his heels, Trevor Davis going into his second year and two WR’s getting drafted, there is no reason for Adams to feel secure as the #2.

That said, if Adams makes a similar leap from 2016 to 2017 that he did from 2015 to 2016, there is little doubt Adams will be the number 2 guy.

3. Nick Perry

If I haven’t upset you yet, this will probably do it. I personally am extremely excited about Perry. He was a force in 2016 and did it wearing a cast. The optimist in me sees nothing but greatness ahead.

That said, looking a little closer at the situation, Nick Perry was barely graded in the average range for all 4 years he was with the Packers from 2012-2105. In 2016, a contract year, Perry makes a leap. That sentence alone should worry you a little, especially considering the amount of money the Packers paid out to him.

Perry, to date, has had 1 good year and it really wasn’t a mind-blowing year. Again, I can’t give out exact grades or rankings but he barely broke the top 20 as an edge rusher. I truly hope the optimist in me is correct but the pessimist in me is worried. With the lack of depth at the position if Nick Perry were to regress to his previous numbers, the Packers may be in legitimate trouble at a prime position.

Ultimately, Perry was added to the list due to the assumption that, with Perry we will have at least 1 top tier player at OLB.  I’m not sure that’s ever been the case with Perry and even if it is, there is as much reason to believe he will regress as there is to believe he will be able to maintain or improve.

2. Martellus Bennett

My issue with Bennett is similar to my issue with Perry but is to a much higher extreme. The fans especially have lost their collective minds with the idea that Bennett is not only an elite tight end on or near par to the best in the NFL, but is way better than Jared Cook. I’m not sure either of those claims are true and I know they shouldn’t be assumed.

First, the comparison between Cook and Bennett seems simple but as I’ve mentioned before, the chemistry Cook and Rodgers had in the post season was unbelievable. If you take the production of Cook in the post season and extrapolate it over 16 games, the numbers are almost identical to Jordy Nelson’s 2016 numbers. Call me crazy but I’m not thrilled with losing that amount of production, even if he is being replaced with someone that is thought to be a better talent.

For that matter, Bennett was graded higher but by only one place. Best as I can tell it was because the receiving grade is weighted so heavily by PFF. Cook was a well-rounded tight end in his abilities as a receiver, as well as a run and pass blocker. Bennett is nearly identical to Cook in his receiving and pass blocking grade but was abysmal as a run blocker.

Moving on to him being regarded as a top tier tight end… I just don’t know why. To keep it concise, Bennett has 2 bad years, 3 good years, and 4 average years. Contrast that with Rob Gronkowsky who has had 3 good years and 4 elite years and you start to understand my confusion.

To put it even more concisely, Martellus Bennett’s best year was graded lower than Gronk’s worst. I think we need to temper our expectations a bit.

1. Clay Matthews

Matthews seems to be the low hanging fruit of the bunch. Everyone understands Clay has lost a step and have been quite vocal about it. Still, Clay was just ranked #82 in the NFL top 100 list. That’s absurd. Beyond that, although the fans see a decline, I’m not sure the magnitude of just how bad Clay was has really come to light.

First, Clay Matthews barely broke the top 100 list of edge rushers. JUST edge rushers. Forget top 100 players in the NFL… just pass rushers. Clay was the lowest graded edge rusher on the Packers roster, even below the oft-mocked Jayrone Elliott. In fact, the only player he was graded higher than was Damarious Randall. Letroy Guion, Blake Martinez, Kentrell Brice, Ladarius Gunter, Don Barclay, all better than Clay Matthews. I love Clay, but just let that sink in for a moment.

Having said that, can we all just come together and admit that Matthews belongs inside? I really enjoyed watching him play there. He’s incredibly fast, he’s a more effective blitzer from the inside, he’s a sure tackler, let’s just call it what it is.

Underrated

Now that the ugliness is out of the way, let’s give some guys a little credit. Again, I’m just looking to highlight some guys that deserve more love than they’ve gotten up until now.

5. Corey Linsley

If I were to list the names Bakhtiari, Sitton, Linsley, Lang, and Bulaga and asked you to tell me which name is not like the others, more than likely Linsley is the name most people would select. Although I can’t say I’ve heard a lot of hatred directed at him, there is nowhere near the level of appreciation shown toward Linsley that was shown toward the other 4 I listed above.

To be fair, all 4 graded higher than Linsley in 2016 but not by a lot. To put it in perspective, Linsley graded in the same range as Jordy Nelson, Morgan Burnett, and Nick Perry. That’s 3 more names of people that get a ton more love than Linsley for those of you keeping score.

With Lang and Sitton long gone, Linsley is a man among boys on the interior of the Packers line. It’s time to start showing him some love.

4. Jake Ryan

Nothing about Jake Ryan in 2016 warrants a parade. He was an average linebacker that ranked outside of the top 32. What I’m more impressed with was his jump from year 1 to year 2.

If ever there was a player that gives you hope for second or third year players making a leap it’s Ryan. It’s not even possible for Ryan to replicate his 2015 to 2016 leap in the 2017 season because his grade would be past the limit of 100. That’s saying a lot considering his grade was average (in the 70’s).

As the most improved player on the team, and as the guy with potentially the most promise, I think Jake Ryan is deserving of a lot more credit than he gets.

3. Dean Lowry

Dean Lowry flying under the radar is understandable. Not acceptable but understandable. First, Lowry isn’t playing a premium position. Case in point, Kyler Fackrell was drafted the same year, 1 round earlier, graded slightly worse and played 39 less snaps. How many times have you heard Fackrell brought up? Fackrell is a pass rusher which is not only a premier position, it’s a flashy position, and a position of need. Defensive interior is none of those things.

A second(ish) reason is Kenny Clark. If we want to talk about players making a jump in year two along the defensive line, everyone’s mind immediately goes to first round draft pick Kenny Clark. There’s nothing wrong with that. Clark played 200 more snaps, was the second highest grade on the line behind Mike Daniels, and clearly has the most upside. Still, the difference in grade between Lowry and Clark is negligible.

A 6’6 guy playing on the defensive line that got more and more playing time as the year went on grading nearly as well as the first round draft pick is, to me, worth some attention. Dean gets none.

2. Christian Ringo

The case for Ringo is nearly identical to the case for Lowry. Ringo is a defensive lineman that was drafted by the Packers in the 6th round of the 2015 draft. Immediate I began to like him because of his similarity to Packers skull crusher, Mike Daniels. Ringo is a powerful man that fell to the 6th round due to his lack of height and length.

Ringo didn’t get any playing time in 2015 (I don’t believe), but played 77 snaps in 2016. In that limited role, Ringo was given an average grade but was the 4th best defensive lineman beating out Letroy Guion and Brian Price.

The things listed above would put him into the, not great but deserving of more praise, category but I can’t get off the Daniels thing so I’ll bring up 1 minor point. Daniels was a 4th round pick in 2012. In his first year, Daniels grade was awful. In 2014 his grade reflects his pure dominance and he’s never looked back posting 4 straight years of incredible play.

Obviously, anyone can make a leap from one year to the next but Ringo has the raw power and leverage that has made Daniels a star. If Ringo can tap into that, the Packers are looking at a scary defensive line.

1. Quinten Rollins

If I were in a more reasonable state of mind, Rollins would probably be better suited as maybe number 4 on the list based on his production in 2016, but this is a personal vendetta. The entire reason for writing the article centers on Rollins. The fact that nobody wants to even mention his name in the cornerback conversation is making me go a little crazy.

I fully understand that the entire cornerback group in 2016 was terrible. I blame that partly on injury but mostly on the fact that these are young guys not ready to be thrust into the roles they were asked to fill. The Packers lost both Casey Hayward and Sam Shields for the 2016 season, leaving 3 second year players being asked to match up against the likes of Julio Jones. They didn’t have a chance.

With the addition of King and House, it’s reasonable to assume the corners will perform at a higher level, what isn’t reasonable is the assumption that Randall is the man and Rollins will be buried on the depth chart.

I’ve already railed against Randall so I’ll leave that alone, but for all the comments I said about Randall, Rollins is the exact opposite. For example, looking at 2016 grades for Rollins, Gunter, Randall, Goodson, Hawkins, and House. We know who the worst is, any idea who the best was? That’s right, it’s Rollins. His grade was bad, mind you, but it was still the best and by a lot.

I already spoke as to why I think 2016 was so bad but how did they play in 2015 when Randall and Rollins were behind Hayward and Shields? Glad you asked. Rollins grade was phenomenal. As a rookie, Rollins played at nearly the same level as Shields and Hayward.

Bottom line, I think Rollins is a very good corner and clearly has a ton of potential. He’s shown it in both of his first two year, yet nobody wants to give him the time of day. My prediction is simple. King and House/Gunter will occupy the boundary. Rollins will be the primary guy in the nickel and will be very very good at it.
