huh... okay... economically magi actually has a pretty coherent story... I was just unable to comprehend it when I was in middle school...
#just thinking thoughts...#like damnnn they are talking about the strength of currencies and trade sanctions and shit. no wonder I didn't remember any of this#I just straight up didn't understand it at the time#you know the WHOLE time I was reading it like ok bro you can't just make someone ELSE a king -_- the inherent power structure is flawed#and then alibaba comes in and goes WE NEED TO DO AWAY WITH THE MONARCHY AND BECOME A REPUBLIC#and I'm like damnnn okay I retract what I said. good job#and I vaguely remember balbadd having an imperialism arc too?? or rather a being-exploited-by-imperialism arc???#can't wait to see how that plays out#like the kou empire shit is so interesting bc like. you have people who are clearly 'good' in high leadership positions#and it's like how do u reconcile that with being part of an exploitative empire. does the narrative forgive them.#all questions I cannot remember the answer to#UNFORTUNATELY YOU ALSO HAVE THE ANTISEMITIC CARICATURES...#the 'banker' character who is a part of this secret underground org that controls people :sob:#I mean... sad but also considering the transmisogyny... the sexism... well... it all leaves a lot to be desired on a micro level...#like the overarching story is fine... just the finer details are kinda. :/
