the ending of dairugger is definitely going to stick with me. its anti-war message was really prevalent and im glad the ending didnt go the way of feeling victorious but feeling this overwhelming sense of emptiness and tragedy, how none of this needed to happen in the first place. the galveston government’s pride costing the lives of so many…the war only draining from the civillians…them throwing all their efforts to war rather than to build migratory ships. there’s just so much to think on. definitely going to revisit in the future

#.txt #dairugger xv #often i think the failure of certain media in anti-war messaging is it being caught between the spectacle of a glorious final battle #and trying to say how war isnt Fun Or Cool (despite the mega cool final battle)#and im glad that dairugger never seemed to go this route? there wasn’t a final battle with corsair #he was just shot by a stray laser by his own suboordinate #teles was not killed gloriously he was uncermionously stabbed and left to die in the dirt #there was no HOO HAH! at the end as the galveston people watched their planet die #just a heavy silence #the war was won but there was no sense of victory or triumph #such a fantastic show honestly its a shame it flies so under the radar
