Everyone cares if the demons are ontologically evil or not, but nobody even asks if the dragon Starrk killed was ontologically evil or not 😔
I mean, the dragon Stark killed tried to burn down a town full of people. Even if it's a complex individual capable of moral decisions, there's still a fairly justifiable reason to kill it.
In an upsetting plot twist, that was the dragon equivalent of John Brown
oh man el dorado is the weakest frieren arc and im really glad it didn't get adapted in the first run. it kinda pissed me off, and led to me keeping frieren reading on a 10 ft pole despite how amazing its opening few volumes was.
Can you give a tldr of what happens in it?
i do not remember the exact specifics, please forgive me if i get anything wrong i read this a year ago.
there exists a town called el dorado which has been turned into gold by a demon named macht. a barrier exists to keep him inside the town, because he was presumably the one who turned the town gold.
macht had integrated himself into the town as a right hand man to the king(?), and eventually used his power to turn the town into gold to test if he would feel something at its passing(?).
frieren shows up. something about the barrier destabilizing due to a nameless demon, frieren spends a few months in the area with her crew and denken to analyze the "curse diagolze" which turns things to gold in order to restore the town. macht breaks free, attempts to kill the crew with the help of the previously unnamed demon solitär, who are both incredibly curious and interested in humans. frieren does her usual schtick of kill all demons and fights solitär while denken fights his former master, macht. eventually frieren is diagolze'd, but finished analyzing the spell after being turned to gold and undoes it. this breaks macht, who is then killed in a sneak attack from denken and spends his last moments sharing a smoke with the guy he was allegedly loyal to.
I will never understand people having strong opinions about slop that they won't even care about in 10 years. Slop is ultimately disposable content to consume. I'm not above consuming slop, but I'm not going to pretend it's anything more than the equivalent of shoving potato chips into my mouth. Just because I shove my face with potato chips doesn't mean I'm going to care about my shoving-potato-chips experience a decade from now, and if I won't care about it a decade later, it puts a damper towards caring it now.
I love my autistic extremely racist grandma
