    The power fantasy breaking the character can be considered literal because even Jinwoo himself comments that the stronger he gets it feels like he's losing a part of himself.

      I mean, it's pretty much the part of the plot. The source of his power has a mind of its own. The stronger he grows, the more it influences.

    Okay, so, the scene where he kills the traitors... The system literally forced his hand there. It literally went "okay buddy I want you alive and as strong as possible so either you kill them or I kill you". He doesn't _want_ to kill anyone, he is being forced to and is actively breaking down under it.

    see the part i find satisfying about jinwoo is actually the power scale, yes from some points of view he seems overpowered, but he is the type of character that seeks out much bigger opponents in almost a lust for strength. as jinwoo grows he losses some emotions, but theres also always just a bigger opponent, and he gets to flex the powers that actually feels earned

    24:00 Kamikatsu is basically an Isekai but the world isnt fully developed. Its why they use that shitty bull cgi and cut corners alot more in a satirical way. Its pretty enjoyable

    25:59 - no, Gear Fifth is the only Awakening Luffy has had (and as far as we know, the only one he'll ever get - multiple Awakenings would be a new concept). The previous Gears were just Luffy thinking up a cool new way to use the Devil Fruit powers he already had; an Awakening is a radical expansion of the powers themselves. Think of it as getting access to the *full* power of your Devil Fruit - you can only do it when 1) your body has become strong enough to handle it, and 2) your will is in tune with the Fruit's.

    Solo Leveling happens to be one of my favourite animes and I've read the manhwa several times. I like what they have done with the animation so far and the voice actors are top noch! There is a lot more to the story as it progresses and I am looking forward to how the animation portrays this. It may not be your cup of tea but I'll bet there are millions more that love this anime.

    0:54 As someone who finished the manwha, that's a little the point, and trust me, he's still interesting, but he is a power fantasy, not a Shonen character. Kind of 1:19 exactly 21:06 only I'm action ones w male main characters. Lots of badass women in "romance" manwha. A lot of those are actually pretty action bases especially focusing on villian isekai ones. 22:34 youll need patience but its good. Also if you want a good mix like that, power fantasy but inspiring: So im a spider so what.

    I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I was just playing wind waker the other day and now I'm watching this and when he meets the traders before they go into the dungeon the wind waker Town soundtrack is playing. I just had a major nostalgia kick.

    I disagree hardly with what you said about characterisation. His first kills were forced and it does hunt him. I thought it was really interesting how his pursuit of power leaves him feeling empty. Plus its not like he stops to fight smart he doesn't brute force every encounter he has after this there are still fights where he struggles. Especially Igris fight. And the one at the start of s2. He also does not stop being kind to people he cares about so he is definitely not just the edge.

    to be fare the daily quest said kill 6 people or your heart stops. it was less cringe and more the system is literal willing to kill the player to keep the player from dying.

    Without the internal monologues from the comic/novel, you lose a LOT of characterization in animated adaptations, tends to be true across the board, no matter what country of origin, or genre, just a symptom of the format change. Good reason not to add that in, like Blade Runner, kinda ruins the pacing in many cases, or takes up run time better used otherwise, but they don't replace the internal characterizations with external characterizations in most cases.

    See, to make a story about a fighter who keeps getting stronger interesting, you have to keep pitting them against harder and harder opponents so they're always having to try just as much as before and even a little harder. One Piece, for example, would be way worse without the steady villain ramp taking Luffy from fighting big-fish-in-a-small-pond like Don Krieg and Arlong, to serious menaces like Crocodile and Gecko Moria, to god-tier dbags like Doflamingo, to world-destroyers like Kaido. Enough shonens have gotten this right for long enough you'd think they'd know better than to let the protag get powered up and then coast to victory in every fight from then on.

  • @johnokland1652
    @johnokland1652 17 днів тому +2

    So the thing is like obviously main character wins even pokemon eventually learned nobody liked watching there favorite character lose right but technically he's not even broken so far in the anime as of right now he's leveled up to a top teir threat as a human but he's not even the strongest human let alone some of the stuff he comes into contact with once he finally is I don't know if the anime does a good job showing it but he still definitely struggles and has to find ways to win against the things stronger than him or on the same level but the whole story is about him trying to hold onto his humanity while climbing to the peak of power when most of the people near the top don't have any the only thing that can stop an s rank is an s rank so usually the most powerful people are all above the law and take advantage of it but for jinwoo his friends family and past knowing what it's like being helpless kinda counteract that and keep him kinda more human than most at the highest levels
