Huh I actually like this climax/reveal. It’s pretty interesting to me that an immortal being whose only purpose is destruction fell in love, didn’t know what love is, and spent millions years running a simulation to figure it out, and then set up the perfect confession (and completely manipulated/fooled the person she loved). My problem is that this kinda feels like it came out of nowhere like a runaway train and slammed into me. It feels like the author originally planned the story to go in one direction and then was like “OH SHIT I HAVE A GENIUS IDEA”, out of nowhere, and I have to say I like this idea much better than the direction the story was going, but it doesn’t make much sense. There isn’t any premises or hints that she was actually the alien or planned this entire situation from the start. I don’t know if the series got axed and the author had to rush out this ending or if he legitimately had no idea where the story was going until it hit him, but I do wish we could get a remake that was planned to go in this direction from the start and had more setup (I would even take a prequel about the destruction alien first falling in love; that would be great to expand on and show instead of just saying “BOOM! She was always in love”.
@Centurionzo I mean yeah, but why would an all powerful immortal being need a good reason to create a less powerful, clearly inferior, mortal race. Really no matter how you swing it, it just sounds like the guy was having fun or doing an experiment. I mean there are different takes on it in different religions and mythologies, but there is certainly a precedent for the god(s) just doing whatever they feel like cuz they’re all powerful immortal beings. Plus it’s really easy to understand. I mean, WE do the same thing. We test products on other animals and create/run simulations to determine the best course of action ALL the time with the only real justification being “well, they aren’t human”. We’ll use an innocent creature as a test subject before we use a human criminal that’s committed mass murder. Yeah, there are some advocates against it, but at the end of the day most of society just doesn’t care and most of them aren’t willing to go to jail over it. People use other living organisms to their benefit ALL the time; why wouldn’t all powerful literal gods? I mean yeah its a bit sad, but so is existence when you compare it to the vastness of an all expanding universe. Also what alternatives are there? God was lonely so he created some imaginary real friends (that later fucked up his planet)? God wanted to do an experiment? God was happy he created a world and wanted to share it (so he had to create people to share it with? Now that’s sad)? I’m not too into religion, but personally the idea that an all powerful being created a species as flawed as humanity seemed condescending to me no matter how it was spun (not trying to be offensive; just my take on it). Honestly existence has always been something best experienced when it’s not questioned; after you start asking questions it just gets depressing. Just enjoy the ride and be happy your alive (or don’t; Up to you).
