I guess so. That makes sense.


I'd be surprised if some ruling party didn't have some gimmick to them.

I mean that it would shock me if any Joe Shmoe from somewhere, Existence was capable of procuring and maintaining control of the System.

It could be like one of those gags where someone with absolutely no qualifications ends up in a super important position by sheer luck.

And then billions of people are also out to kill the guy and take the position for themselves. Like an action-comedy.

It will be. Soon.


-Spectre- *Steps through a portal* It really won't be. It's an army, right? We can take several extremely simple steps. *Goes over to the terminal and flicks on the base shields, which surround the mountain* This is hyperbolically the most advanced base in Existence. Step two: Crystal Matrix: Shield Enhance! *A complex matrix forms over the entire shield, efficiently redirecting attacks instead of absorbing them* Step three: Zero-Point Technique: Portal! *A large portal appears on top of the base* In case of excessively large deadly lasers.

It builds someone up that the audience can relate to when reacting to the stupid one's actions. It's actually clever.

Is relating to a character all that important though?

It connects viewers to the film. It builds attachments to them. I'd say so.

But people still like shows like Superman where the main character is totally foreign compared to themselves.

I'm not saying that it's relatable character or bust, or anything like that.
