#how long is this manepear guy gonna not die for

[polecatt]

i can’t believe manepear found the claymore and broke it and the trap didn’t work oh my god. The world hates princezam. The world laughs at princezam.

Ok so Manepear. Finally finished the vod. This. Is. Fascinating. Manepear has spawned into lifesteal with a baseline understanding of villainy that not a single new member has expressed at all.

And he is a completely unique threat. A very frustrating threat that will just never die or loose /pos. And now that he's explained his mentality he's just so much more interesting.

The fundamental difference from other villains is this:

 MANE: “if you're constantly loosing how are you supposed to be a threat”

He does not think the villain should loose at all until the proper time (maybe ever?). And until that time the villain should protect himself at all costs so as to not stop being a threat - we know this from how much he didn't want to 2v1 Mapicc and Zam because he would just die, among other instances.

This is why though; we finally get to see why he's like this.

Which is just Interesting. A threat that gets you pissed off because you can not win until he lets you, on his timing.

I have so many thoughts about how this will work out long term but it is interesting to say the least.

But what is really encouraging is how he, and this isn't the first time he's done this while yapping, he comes to a new conclusion in real time. And works it out and thinks it through why someone is acting the way they're acting or how he should move forward. He thinks so much about these things and it's so exciting to get a look into his brain.

MANE: "something just hit me right now. There’s two paths we can take [..] either we can keep being op threats [..] or you guys have more of a chance if me and flame go through with what we want to do [...] i don't want to make it harder, cause if people loose hope, then they're just not gonna, they're just not gonna fight back”

ZAM: "yea it’s a tough thing to balance”
