>>47747>NOT that the wrong ships got made canon The only ship that got truly made canon was wrong because it not only got done like shit, but makes no thematic sense and writing it in actively damaged the writing. Take it out and a third of the issues with Volumes 6-9 disappear, that's how bad it is.
>the dialogue is awkward and stiff Not really? Some of the 'motivational' moments don't land, but most of the dialogue isn't terrible.

>people's favorite characters got "slandered" Well to be fair, it's often for a good reason, character assassination by the writers basically fucks over story consistency. the
>>>/anime/8783 RT thread has a lot about that regarding people like Adam basically made from an extremist revolutionary into this pathetic incel, or how Blake went from a person with a 'dark past' she wants to make up for her mistakes (and still makes new ones), to a literal nepo-baby island princess that LARPed as a Revolutionary and then got cold feet. Or Yang going from a brash brawler with a hidden bit of intelligence a
