#you always have a choice

[color-beyond-lines]

The parallels between Pete telling Way that he always has a choice and Babe saying the same thing to Kenta:

Way believes he is worthless because he failed to do what Tony wanted him to do. His actions cost him his closest friend and team. After ten years, he’s untethered to Tony and has the chance to become someone better. Pete did it. And he believes Way can too.

Kenta believes he is only worth something if he can succeed in doing what Tony tells him to do. His closest companion fled years ago, leaving Kenta feeling abandoned. He’s been trained to be a knife for Tony, who has provided him with more than anyone else, how could he possibly deny him? How can he have a life outside of Tony’s grasp? Babe did it. And he believes Kenta can too.

Sometimes it isn’t the person you’re closest to that gets through to you. Because of course they see the best in you and want the best for you. Best friends are supposed to do those things. Brothers believe in each other.

But when it’s someone you don’t know as well telling you that they see you. That they see good in you. That they believe in you.

That might break through the self doubt.

That might make you change your fate.

This is one of my favorite parts of the movie. I love it so much

This whole mess is my fault. I’ve been so blinded by rage, I thought…I had no choice.

You always have a choice.

Sketch and more yapping below vvv

But Wyll, my guy, you *have* to stop referring to yourself in third person- "the blade could use some sleep" just say you're tired omfg- it's the perfect blend of him being actually cool af, but annoying about it kfkf also I'm playing a french version of the game, and I know this pissed off the translators because that's not in the french subs- Also if you refer to yourself in third person in french, a way *way* more formal language already, that's not just a bit annoying that's straight up scary shit fnfkk

I am planning on doing all six main companions :) of course in order from my favorite to the one I feel most neutral about. Don't get me wrong I like them all (for now), but one had to be last-

God this panel kinda drives me crazy. From Batman & the Outsiders #17, Shiva asks Duke about his suit, whether it was his choice. And how does Duke respond? He... doesn't. He parrots what is clearly something Bruce said to him, but never clarifies whether it was 'his choice' at all. Because both him and Shiva know it wasn't. And he acknowledges that his suit, with all the Batty-ness (ears, symbol), was specifically designed to make him like Batman.

Then Shiva suggests dark red, which is what Duke wore in We Are Robin and has connotations to Robin as a whole. Duke's reaction - can we let it go? - can be read in many ways, but to me it suggests Shiva's words hit home. He does miss the Robin colours. Becoming the Signal wasn't his choice, but becoming Robin was.

(And throughout this run, Shiva says both Cass and Duke are being held back by Bruce. With Cass this is a clear allusion to being Orphan over Batgirl, so it's not farfetched to read this conversation as being about how Duke was denied Robin to become Signal).

Duke-as-Signal is a symbol of 'people like Batman', but Duke-as-Robin was a symbol of youth, of community, of diversity and of choice. He was a Robin formed without Batman. I know there's no going back, but having Bruce choose the name, the suit, and the time of day that Duke goes out makes the Signal such a fraught identity. I love the yellow, the suit, and the daytime aspect, but I just wish they were Duke's choices, not Bruce's.

call me crazy but there is a difference between treating your adult players like they are new to the world and treating your adult players like they have the memory of a goldfish and the vocabulary of a 9 year old

[andrewknightley]

saw someone saying something like "do you really think veilguard story would be better if you could do evil choices?" and actually yeah. i think if they let us act more like the dreadwolf on the "you are a paralellism to the dreadwolf" game, it would be more significant when the story tells you "you are a bit like him/you are nothing like him" because , thats how you chosed to play it.
