“Red team was so selfish looking past the cursed team like that” listen man they were thinking about it often, and had evidence they were cursed too. They were convinced they were cursed too. Bad (with Pierre’s help I’ll be honest) singlehandedly destroyed any sort of civil relations and good faith between the two teams and this shot Blue in the foot when they tried to make the case about them being cursed last minute, about trying to rig it in the cursed teams favor.
There was never a cursed team in the first place, it was all a tactic to build paranoia and that feeling of betrayal and to get them to tear eachother a part. And it worked super well! At the end, neither would listen to the other about their evidence, not with an honest open ear, not with the willingness to think the other team could be cursed. It’s not a case of ‘Red just refused to listen because they wanted to win more than they cared’ they thought they were cursed too - if they were selfish, then so were Blue in the same way.
Every time Red had tried to talk first early on, it was met with extreme violence - and with Bad consistently proving he’ll play dirty to win, they didn’t trust Blue enough to listen to them in the later game. Maybe they should have listened then. Maybe Blue have listened earlier. The game worked as intended to set them against eachother.

god ppl trying to claim jasons "we're the not so different you and i" villain speech to mia WASNT incredibly unsubtle subtext... that they went through the same trauma... like he says theyre alike. she says he knows nothing about her. he lists what he knows. and then he repeats that they're alike.
that's only barely subtext and not text itself, man. trying to argue that isn't the intention that jason was also a csa victim is just willful misreading at that point

I agree with you and personally I also think a major reason why keanu reeves is also such a mediocre and awful choice is that they had the opportunity to at least scour through Hollywood names to see who could try to sound like how Shadow is supposed to like David Humphrey or Koji Yusa's cool yet sort of young and quiet sounding vibe. If they really wanted a Hollywood name they could have done that but instead just chose the guy who is famous for gun and gritty man because he's the gun and gritty man. Now we might just have a Shadow who barely talks above a monotone voice and far too gravelly.
i dont think its inherently bad to cast movie stars in voice acting roles, it does have the potential to work. but casting like that has to have thought put into it and having a random celebrity that was clearly just handed the role so they could have a big name and recognizable voice attached to the project almost always sucks especially if its for a popular already existing character. and along with that keanu shadow also feels like a horrible result of people constantly forgetting that shadow didnt come out the tube all guns and motorcycles and edgy one liners in sa2 . shadow they just dont get you like i do im sorry bestie

(From 2022)
I REALLY don't know how to explain this one even with its context. It's some really lategame stuff from my oc lore that's a massive mess atm in this section.
Uhhh lets say uhh shit keeps happening, Maki's on her own, starts blaming Goku and his crew for everything bad that happened, and actively tries to off them for it because she thinks that's the only way to feel better.
...obviously she doesn't win against fucking GOKU of all people but hey
