#but that starscream is kind of what kunzite feels like so far

[rin-the-shadow]

On a related note from the last post, act 16 of PGSM also brought us Kunzite: Least Subordinate Servant Ever.

Between the guy’s barely-even-qualifies-as-a bow, to basically asking Beryl to give him her subordinates, to just his general tone of voice. 

It’s hilarious to me because my first exposure to that character type where I actually recognized them as that character type was the Transformers: Cybertron version of Starscream, and the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles version of Baxter Stockman. Starscream was traitorous and competent at it, but tended to be quieter about what he intended to do, and at least pretend to respect Megatron up until he was ready to make his move. Stockman, on the other hand, was pretty open about how great he thought he was, and made three separate attempts to betray the Shredder before finally getting fired and going to work for Bishop, but as you might have guessed, he was not exactly good at doing the betrayal thing without getting mangled in the process.

PGSM Kunzite is like if you took Cybertron Starscream, but then gave him like zero shame about broadcasting his absolute bare minimum (probably nonexistent) loyalty. And he is amazing.
