Why the fuck didn’t he just stay with his new fairy girlfriend in a peaceful, magical utopia?
>>220842102responsibility, hexus was released because of him so he had to put it right
>>220842102You can’t trust fae folk. She would have probably eaten him the next day, even if the sex was nice.
>>220842102>ywn have a nudist Amazonian fairy gf
>>220842128I'm sure he singlehandedly abolished deforrestation, well worth giving up a lifetime of fairy poon
>>220842102>spend the rest of your life being bullied by Christian Slater
>>220842102It's a common thing in fantasy "other world" right back to things like the pulp stories of John Carter and the Princess of Mars (where he goes to Mars, but at the end of the book after spending years there is cast back to Earth, until he can find a way to return) though most people these days are more familiar with it in the context of Japanese isekai (pic related).After the great adventure, in the journey of the character comes the return to the real world, taking with them the lessons they learned. It's a bit like coming of age.Jumanji with Dwayne Johnson recently did it, for a modern examp,e.
>>220842102I couldn’t watch this or Little Mermaid as a kid, because I didn’t understand sexual arousal at the time, and that feeling that Ariel and Krista gave me just freaked me out.
>>220842827Isekai is so lame, it’s the even gayer offspring of “dork wish fulfillment” and “it was all a dream”.
>>220842872no kid understands sex, that's besides the pointI was raised by a single mom but I knew of pairbonding, I was familiar with the concept of a couple
>>220842827Really the only lesson John Carter took was "I would definitely like to get back to Mars as soon as possible".Also, John Carter was basically a professional adventurer AND immortal before finding Barsoom (Mars), so he was really "magical world" even before that.
>>220842895Isekai existed in the West back in the 1800s anon, and much, much earlier (Greek myth has early antecedents of it). It's an old, even ancient form of story. Japan's version is just the latest incarnation, albeit a pretty shit one.
>>220842941Not as much as it's shit, but it's just terribly unimaginative, like so much Anime these days.
>>220842941Now I'm thinking if it goes back further than the late 1800s and Mark Twain.
>>220842902Yeah, no shit, this wasn’t that.>Ackshually, my experience invalidates your experience.
>>220842941My point still stands, it’s always lame dorks with inadequacy issues escaped into fantasy back then too.
>>220842827>>220842895>>220842941"Isekai" as understood by Japanese is the inevitable result of being drawn/written by people whose entire society boils down to "bow your head down, listen to your superiors, and don't stand out."It's a genre directed at the dreamer, the rebel, the adventurer, and the lothario, but the target audience are subservient bug-men.
>>220843890not calling you a liar, saying your reasoning is flawed
>>220843915>bow your head down, listen to your superiors, and don't stand outIt's every society when you're poor. People who try to make Japan's situation into something unique and exotic are fucking clowns.
>>220844241>It's every society when you're poor.1. No.2. They're not poor.
>>220842102I wanted to fuck that fairy so bad.
>>220844288Sure they have a steady income at some grinding job with long hours that pays for their hamster cage apartment and noodles, and can afford to line their cramped shelves with plastic icons of anime women, but is that anything but a poor existence?
>>220844331Same
>>220844367Most of /tv/ is third-world thats like a luxury to them.
>>220842102because it meant living as a <6' ubermanlet

>>220842102he's mentally a child, rememberhe can't make the right decision
>>220842102I'm a massive right wing type and was even as a child, but because of this movie I've always had a conservationist streak because I can't shake the feeling that elves are real. Made me really popular in College because I would keep proposing the most chudded out solutions to environmental problems possible. Great movie, everyone should watch it, it'll make you an ecofascist.
>>220843915Japan's problem is not really that they're ultra-hierarchal, it's that they're essentially a fundamentally Right Wing people who aren't allowed to have a military and aren't allowed to have a national destiny anymore.People who are good at subordinating themselves to the collective will NEED to discharge that strength on something meaningful. The Japanese during the period of militarism expressed this through the explosive periods of martial adventure. Hideyoshi did it in Korea, they did it in Korea AGAIN, against Russia, against China, and finally the US. The Americans' crime was not nuking them or beating the fuck out of them--it was then forcing them into a state of neutered pacifism, which is deeply unnatural for the Japanese cultural merkwelt.Isekai is about releasing the tension of the mundanity of life by literally dying and reaching something new, free, and adventurous, where they can finally discharge their energy. As absurd as it sounds, letting the Japanese invade China again would have the exact same psychic effect.
>>220845736You really love your purple prose without thinking it through.>The Americans' crime was not nuking them or beating the fuck out of them--it was then forcing them into a state of neutered pacifism, which is deeply unnatural for the Japanese cultural merkwelt.Now explain the 200+ years they remained in complete isolation without killing one another off.
>>220845736There really should be a quick IQ test before letting a person use the Internet.
>>220842102You know she can still straddle and hump his cock when he's normal sized again.
>>220846125Its not the same man...
>>220845857Hideyoshi's campaign in Korea was a deliberate attempt to kill off as much of the warrior nobility as possible. Discharge of strength. This allowed them a period of peace without discharge but it was temporary, and could never have been anything else.The Edo period was also only peaceful in comparison to the Sengoku Jidai. The now reduced warrior class was left aimless and were a constant problem despite attempts to disarm and placate them or move them into productive enterprise. The tensions continued to build until you got the Boshin War. They bottled up their cultural need for discharge and then it exploded. Again. Really this happens in every society, it's just that most are not capable of putting a stopper on it in the first place.
>>220842102Idk a tree hugger land would get overbearing quickly

Bitch
>>220845736Japs are about as feminine as they come. They're extremely cowardly, conformist, averse to any kind of confrontation, terrified of standing out or going against the norms. This leads to some paradoxically masculine-seeming behaviour, where they will happily give their lives en masse doing insanely dangerous things. But they do that not because they are brave, but because they are even more afraid of social censure than they are of dying. Women do the same thing; you see it all the time everywhere, especially today with women having been granted political power. Our societies are literally choosing suicide to avoid having to be confrontational about the fact that the path we're going down is suicidal.Japan would still be calcified into some eternally stagnant post-industrial society right now, if it wasn't for the americans forcing them out of it. Well, more realistically they would've been conquered by the chinese or something long ago by now. But point is, absent external pressures, they would still be stuck just playing pointless, performative social games with each other forever. Just like women.
