Why are elves always poorly written?
>>
>>283249130
Same reason anything else is
Hack writers with weird and stupid priorities
>>
>>283249130
Define "poorly written".
>>
How can they be written well? It's a genre trope. You either like Elves or you don't.
>>
>>283249252
Same way anything else can be written well
You don't think every implementation of elves is exactly the same, do you?
>>
>>283249252
Not all elves are the same?
>>
>>283249252
By having actual hardships they go through and not a silver platter?
>>
>>283249237
poorly written is when i dont like something

Idiot take
>>
>>283249411

>>
>>283249130
Elves are lame. That's why.
>>
>>283249130
Because they are sex objects.
She just glanced at Subaru once and now he's obsessed with her and willing to go through unspeakable amounts of pain for her sake. That's how good elf pussy is.
>>
>>283249252

>>283249130
The Japanese seem to have an extreme hatred for elf characters. Frieren and Marcille are the only ones written respectfully.

well sorry for not being Moorcock

>>283251355

>>
>>283253270
Subaru is written infinitely better than her
>>
>>283254185
That's only because the ratio of any number at all to zero is infinite, and Subaru has a 4.2 out of 100
>>
>>283251355
sex Frieren
sex HEA
sex Ryu
>>
>>283254204
Who in your opinion is closest to that 100?
>>
>>283254332
For a main character specifically, probably Lelouch.
Code Geass is frankly not a very well written show, but for all of the dumb shit it's got it just works regardless, because seeing how he responds to everything and the way he changes and struggles is just so fucking good
He's extremely compelling, never out of character, and no matter how melodramatic he gets I believe it and I'm there for it
For 100 points you have to be literally perfect, and Lelouch is not that, but he's the closest I've seen
>>
>>283253584
it's forgiven, lesscock

>>283252906
Are the real elves in a room with us right now?

I guess everyone has different taste. I agree though, Lelouch is great
>>
>>283254547
What's the difference in taste?

>>283249130
I love Emilia.

The only people who hate elves are those who like dwarves and they happen to be gay barafags.
>>
>>283254583
There's nothing there to fall in love with
>>
>>283254634
She is cute, and I like cute things
>>
>>283249130
are the Elves in LotR well written? cause thats the og standard.
Some writer dude, who was at a reading Tolkien was giving of his emerging magnum opus, exploded, saying "not another fucking elf!"
>>
>>283254644
She's not even interestingly cute. She's just generically pretty and shaped like a committee went "how do characters you want to protect look like?"
I get the drive to save her but anything after that has got to come down to her personality because she's got little else, and she doesn't even have a personality
>>
>>283254565
I think Subaru is closer to 100 than 0
>>
>>283254699
she has delicious soft titties and sexy legs. her whole body is nice and yummy.
she has the personality of a coconut.
>>
>>283249130
you know how white people write japanese people. elves are written like that.

That wouldn't fit the definition of cute, that would just be pretty and stupid. Beatrice is more suited for cute.
>>
>>283254699
I don't give a fuck about re zero, I only watched the first season 10 years ago, so I don't really care that she doesn't work in a grimdark world full of random people that want you dead for no fucking reason
She would fit nicely in any SoL as an airhead character and I love her because of that
>>
>>283254810
It's not just the setting that's a problem, her personality is as wide as a puddle and deep enough it'd disappear if you stepped in it
>>
>>283249130
Emilia is a half elf you fucking retard, you irredeemable dunderhead, you dumb dummy
>>
>>283254670
I'd put that into "opinions are like assholes" category, who knows what reasons the dude had
>>
>>283254847
better than the pedo series poster girl (arguably cute but)
>>
>>283249130
Nobody writes elves "well", not even westerners
That doesn't mean that elves in anime or western fantasy aren't enjoyable
>>283252906
I assure you that you don't know shit about how "real elves" are supposed to be (There are real elves but that's for another discussion in another board)
You are only peddling your headcanon of a trope

I mean, she is a cute retarded girl that wants to end racism because people are mean to her because she looks like the Antichrist and also doesn't understand love because she is mentally 14 and at least 12 of those years were spent locked up in her room and then living alone in a cabin in a frozen forest
Is she the most complex kino character in existence? Fuck no
Is she a moeblob without any personality? Also no
Emilia is just an average cute girl trapped in a series full of characters way too fleshed out for her not to look retarded and hollow in comparison

>>
>>283255639
Quite literally everyone from her camp. In fact, if Subaru left, everyone would follow him.

Are there elves that are written to live in chronic poverty?

Like, literally almost anyone else in the series. This thing comes out of nowhere and does a racism thing more than Emilia has actually dealt with in the whole series in the few chapters she appears. Emilia is actually a joke.

Isn’t she mentally like a 7 year old? You can’t have much depth at that age

Half of japanese elves are lazy and racist just like european counterpart.

Second, the elf shown here is actually very well-written.

The quote is real, but it was not made by a foreign otaku. It was made by the most noxious schizo of /tg/ who often raids /a/ as well because a lot of anime features elves.
>>
>>283249130
Because they ALL ultimately stem from D&D and their elfs are nothing but a mongrelized version of Tolkien's. It's a flanderized trope all the way up.

TBF Emilia is a plot device. Tappei is not retarded to leave her as a completly empty canvas but she exists to move the plot forwards.

>>283267223
Shes fucking boring what are you on about? Normal characters would have an IQ above 90 at least with some little bit of personality to them. There is none in Mobilia, she's beyond retarded but the author has to force it in everywhere that "Oh she's so beloved! The best! Absolutely amazing!"

When did i say it wasn't? I said it's sales are beyond below after arc 7+8 and now whatever the fuck 9 is. Along with the Studio now doing a shitty adaption of arc 6 with only 19 episodes then thats fucking it.

2. Subaru had her distracted the 1st ever loop then again in the true one which required him to yell for Puck
She is still mentally retarded just more powerful now

for someone that likes to go
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ ANYTHING" You sure didn't read the fucking side stories and why arc 2 with Subaru happened, almost like he put himself in that position cause he was being a dumbass along with what the witch cult had done + her time in the mansion when she begin to kill them as she was attacked.
