Talk:Ken Kaneki/@comment-28568301-20181207004149

I am back reading re and I found its reduced to this..... mess.... and at the center of this mess are two characters. Kaneki and furuta.

Kaneki is reduced to basically a caricature. He really embodied the strawman version of his and his predecessor's ideal it makes his character unbelievable, like idiot but worse. The last part of his arc also happens in such asspull way it's laughable.

And furuta.... damn. Furuta. He is the type of villain that I despise the most. Not because of his joker tendency, I can appreciate trickster. He is no trickster however. His plan can work as it is by warping the characters and situation to it. Like wish fulfillment protagonist but villain version, dethroning higher-tiered villain not by his own merits but by having it handed to him with silver platter. Oh suddenly the hardass washuu is gay for his pops and lost the thing that made him a success in ccg, and Furuta acting like his father somehow intimidate him. Everyone suddenly becomes immoral and do everything he wish in short time he act as the leader. Ui give him a pass because of Ihei's head.

Everyone shit on Kaneki for plot armor and absolutely asspull things that happened, but the same thing is happening with Furuta too. Both of these characters are awful in execution. There are more reasons why re is shit, but both of these two are largely responsible for it happening. What a waste
