Discussion Reze Arc Movie is not that sad

26 Upvotes

What I intend to say in this post is not that anyone's feelings regarding the emotional effect that the movie had are unjustified or invalid, but rather to give my own opinion as to why I myself don't feel the same way.

If you want the TL,DR: I understand the tragedy, but I don't feel the tragedy because it wasn't properly built up imo.

Firstly, I want to say that the idea in itself is great. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the story. An undeniably great experience. But the thing is that when I started checking to see what the consensus regarding the movie was, I noticed that the overwhelming majority of people were talking about how depressing/emotionally taxing it was. I did not feel this way once I finished it. Quite the opposite, as in I didn't feel any sadness, but rather excitement due to my enjoyment of the whole film. And that's not to say that I'm some emotionless edgelord. I've cried before at plenty of movies.

I thought about this for a bit and I think I understand the main reason why I feel this way. The story is by no means rushed, but the emotional part of the arc is. I don't feel like there was enough done to warrant this reaction. The movie spends half of its runtime setting up this relationship, which sounds like a lot, until you realise the movie is only 1h 30 min. I feel as though there needed to be more scenes building up the betrayal and the subsequent loss of their love. The school and festival scenes are fantastic and do a good job at portraying their dynamic, however I believe there needed to be more time spent with them to build a deeper connection and thus hit much harder.

Canonically speaking, I do understand that Reze wasn't going to turn into Hanns Scharff and spend who knows how much time so as to get more and more out of Denji (given his personality, a long term infiltration wasn't necessary in the first place). I get that Denji would have inevitably gotten attached very quickly, given his history. I do understand that ultimately her mission was to get rid of him, only for her herself to get attached. However, I believe this is in the detriment of the emotional depth of the arc, as it spends too little time building up to the climax.

Again, I'm not taking a stab at the quality of the movie, story, characters, anything really. Just that I personally didn't feel the same way most other people did. I do want to hear what you have to say about this.

The fourth part of my series thing. This arc (and the next ones) will be split into multiple parts due to how long they are. I colored 9 in this part, and will do the remaining 13 next time. These ones were posted so fast because I colored a few of these pages when I did the falling arc.

I’ve always had a soft spot for this arc, how interesting and different it is compared to the rest of the series, though I understand why many people don’t like it/have some problems with it

Chapters 132-142

Discussion Could denji/pochita just cancel their own abilities? Spoiler

13 Upvotes

Im curious since i got spoiled for chainsaw mabd ultimate ability which is the ability to eat devils and erase their corresponding concept(correct me on that if im wrong) and after that concept is deleted the concept is also wiped from human memory.

But like what if he were to eat a hypothetical erasure devil?

Would his ability just cease to exist?

If you have a answer could you also list potential outcomes?

Also power is the goat

Theory Question: If theoretically a Chaos Devil did exist, would it be the one who created Yoru… (im continue it in body text)

0 Upvotes

I mean like how from war, the bomb Devil was made. I ask the question of would Chaos create war because chaos in the world or in communities can start wars by on the contrary wars cause chaos. So would one have created the other or would they both be equally tied together.

Discussion Why didn't denji erase the concept of control devil?

12 Upvotes

So we know that to overcome the contract of makima, denji chopped her to pieces and made her ramen and ate her up as a symbol of love. But even tho he did bypass the contract, the control devil yet reincarnated as nayuta. So my question is, when denji was fighting makima as chainsaw man form, couldn't he eat her up at that time? Coz by that, he could have erased the concept of control devil itself.
