i’m so sorry to tell you that your feelings don’t matter when it comes to storytelling… yeah i’d love it if gojo came back too but that would just be my feeling, what does that have to do with the narrative? whatever happy ending people want for him is just a headcanon. yes i did read that chapter and one take by nanami doesn’t mean that it’s his whole personality duh, gojo is a complex character who loved fighting and could be sadistic, the other characters were literally wondering if he had forgotten about megumi during the fight because he was that into it + the way gege drew him and sukuna like they were on a high the entire time is intentional. i don’t understand this need to flatten out characters because it goes against your personal headcanons or dadjo or whatever when gojo was always an isolated character who enjoyed fighting alone because he got off on it and his powers (are we forgetting he apologized to riko after he came back from the death because he was on such a high from achieving his ultimate powers?) that doesn’t mean he was a bad person or that he didn’t care about his students, no idea why those traits can only be mutually exclusive.
so while he can find satisfaction in this, i cannot. good for him, but it's fundamentally tragic.
well yeah his whole story is tragic because he would never be able to realize his ideals without major sacrifice. he was never going to feel understood unless somebody stronger than him came along and that would simultaneously mean his defeat too. and yeah him voicing his feelings to geto and his friends giving their takes on some aspects of his personality was the closest he ever got to feeling understood and seen by others, and he finally got to tell geto what he felt, breaching the barrier between them. that’s a pretty decent closure for someone whose whole theme was isolation.
so yeah i get being upset about his death but that doesn’t mean it’s bad writing. i feel like it’s pretty common now to call everything people don’t like in a story “bad writing”, because it’s easier than sitting down and thinking what the author was trying to say and trying to reconcile it with your headcanons of how you wanted the story to go. also “this is what should happen” is nonsense because stories don’t always work “logically”, it all depends on whether it makes sense in the story and whether it fits within the characters’ narrative, and gojo’s conclusion makes sense for his character, not the one you wrote in your heads for your fanfiction 🤷♀️
"your feelings don't matter when it comes to storytelling" is such a nothingburger thing to say 💀 this is just my page where i express my thoughts about a fictional story the way i have about a dozen others. my feelings inform the way i talk about it and will continue to do so. i've already told you that i see worth in gojo living, but if gojo stays dead then that's fine and how his death is handled is what matters to me. if it's not handled in a way that i enjoy then that's it? 💀 i just won't enjoy it. and i could change my mind a week after jjk ends or 20 years or not at all and it's utterly inconsequential. again i already said this so i don't know what you're going on about here.
why are you talking to me about dadjo and all this nonsense when i did not bring it up nor i ever do in a serious context😭 i feel like you're arguing with someone else or the "gojo stan collective" and you're taking it out on me, who is not even a hardcore gojo stan. i like gojo's relationship with his students but he's their teacher and that's all he's shown to be?
everything else you say... again... i'm not sure why you're bringing it up. i never once claimed gojo to be a paragon of justice and goodness. i always argue for his duality and ambivalence and i did so in my reply to you.
- i will consider it bad writing if his death isn't acknowledged properly by the sorcerers whose lives he significantly contributed to saving the way it was done for the likes of nanami, choso, etc. that's my only objective complaint that will remain so to this day. if you kill a beloved character then it merits proper downtime and catharsis, because when it doesn't it creates uncertainty and doubt and unrest the way you have seen. whether i consider his character a tragedy is completely unrelated? never claimed that it would be a bad arc for him, just a personally unsatisfying one. i understand everything and the reasons for it, i just don't care. i would have wanted something else, if that's not in the stars then /shrug i guess it isn't? it's gege's story. i am well aware of it? you're not telling me any groundbreaking information 💀
