And They're Frequent Enough That I Really Can't Ignore Them - Blog Posts

Very interesting take! Totally agree with basically everything you said, honestly I think Morgana is a top tier character with a lot of good characterization that's kinda,, done way too dirty in the Okumura arc. Like, Morgana's insecurities, his pride, his insistence that he's human, they're all actually pretty compelling especially when he's interacting with Ren. I do find him annoying at times, mostly with the needless insulting of Ryuji and how I don't think he ever actually... Apologizes to Ryuji? I don't remember if Ryuji apologized either but he gets a pass because the narrative punishes him enough. In basically the rest of the game I enjoy Morgana, he's great! Especially during his social link scenes.

I suppose as someone who really loves Akechi's character I gotta insert the old phrase I saw somewhere; in fiction, being annoying is a far greater sin than being a terrible person. Because it will make me hate watching them. Morgana might be integral to the story, but if people don't enjoy when they come on screen then there's really no amount of impact he can make to make them want to keep him around. Does that make any sense? I'm not the best with phrasing sometimes.

Anyway tysm for explaining it was very helpful and insightful!!

i am once again putting this opinion out there
