[ Azu’s eyes were amazed looking down at small area below him, seeing all the construction below him. His eyes would light up with stars in his eyes being amazed looking at it all. ]

[ Azu looking at all the construction below him would get a idea… ]

[ Azu would smile at Mezuni before suddenly he disappeared like nothing before Mezuni could process what he was said. ]

i need the waxwitch agenda to spread so bad. yes i know you can only meet icarus after beating chronos and you only see him in the furthest zone on the surface so far. yes i know you have to get there multiple times to piece together his backstory with mel. yes i know his storyline is barely finished and he can't show up at the crossroads and he doesn't even have a 3d model or finished character art. i can wait patiently

Okie so hot take: I don’t think Melinoë is as good of a protagonist as Zagreus. And here’s why.

It all comes down to motivation. Why did Zag go through the events of Hades 1? Because he was living in an abusive and volatile household and had to find some way to make things better for not just himself but his house. Otherwise he surely would have lost his mind having to deal with the abuse he got (remember at the beginning of the game basically only Nyx and Achilles were helping him. Everyone else is either neutral towards him or outright hostile). He needed answers, he needed to find out who and what he was by trying to find Persephone. And in the end he succeeded and was able to create a better life for himself and his house. Hell, even his relationship with his dad improved.

Now let’s look at Mel (yes this criticism is only addressing Early Access Hades 2). Why is she going through the events of Hades 2? Because… she’s been groomed since basically birth to kill Chronos. She doesn’t really have any other motivation than because it is what is expected of her essentially. She even says during her confrontation with Chronos, AFTER HE THREATENS TO HURT HER FAMILY, what do I care I barely know them (yeah sure she could just be bluffing to Chronos but that is still a very chilling thing to say when supposedly all of this is to save them and it makes her reunion with Hades lowkey ring hollow or weak). In another scene she even says the same thing to Hecate and says Hecate is more her mother than anyone else. Heck even in the flashback scene with young Mel and Hecate (which was very cute I’ll admit) she says she would want her mother to come back so Hecate isn’t sad. This makes all her motivations to kill Chronos and save the Underworld seem very… disconnected from the main component of the game? Being saving the house of hades and her family??

Like it’s expected of her and she was raised at birth to basically be prepared for this but she doesn’t have any personal reasons for doing any of this than just not letting Hecate and the others in the Crossroads down. Hell when she comes back from killing Chronos for the first time it honestly feels like Hecate is more interested and invested in what happened than Mel herself.

It makes her a really weird protagonist especially when comparing to her brother and how effective he was as a protagonist. Think about it, with Zag we got really in depth and character revealing moments where as the player we understand why he is doing all of this and so it is easy to go along for the ride because we like Zag and want to help him. Mel says she cares a lot about what is going on and wants revenge, but it all feels surface level (and which is understandable she doesn’t know these people, all she can say is “the titan took my family” when let’s be real she sees the people in the crossroads as more of her family). It honestly just seems like because she is expected to kill Chronos since she could think, she feels she has to do all this. It feels weird how she is disconnected from the core point of the game being to save the house of hades when Zag was so integral to that same core point in the first game.

I dunno, just my thoughts, I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks.

Edit: just fyi cause I feel with the comments I’ve been getting from my posts, I like hades 2 I am excited especially for the official release. I recognize my criticism/analysis could be wrong or out of date since the game isn’t finished yet. These are just my initial thoughts.

Updated my list of favorite game series of all time! I honestly did it just for the fun of listing cool colorful logos

Here's all the stuff i heavily vibe with. My goated faves, as the cool kids say these days

[ Azu after hearing what Mezuni said he felt his vision start distorting around him, his eyes would start to show a faint yellow glow to them as he felt his heart pumping faster inside his chest as it felt it was growing tighter. His entire body felt tingly and shaky. ]

[ Azu would close his eyes as he would focus on his breathing trying to make his mind at ease as he focused his attention at where he was as he spoke. ]

I don’t really do much anyway in my universe anyway so I have more than enough free time to help out a friend.

Oop, someone was caught a little off guard~

Alright. She's ready. So I'm ready to show you...

This is the Mew that popped into my head yesterday. Jovial, or more commonly Jovie, is a lovable airheaded Mew who "volunteers" at a Pokemon Center. (She gets num-nums for her efforts, but she does genuinely love what she does!)

Obviously her backstory isn't fleshed out much at all, but I love her and really want to bring her into the story. ^v^

And for funsies, some character development arts! Phlurrii once again helped me out with fine tuning~

Those are the very first drawings; I changed "Jovi" to "Jovie" becasue they have different meanings.

They go in order from here.

Oh yeah...

She's Mewtwo's mate.
