I was hoping to stay in the shadows a bit longer, but I
discovered something that apparently needs my attention.
So, here I am to clear up a few things on Ranma 1/2...
To Ryan:
Nor did I want to start a flame war. I was just simply stating
my
opinion. instead you had to come to the defense of your
favorite....no I
won't say it, but you know what I wanted to say. and call the only
girl that
actually partway listens to him what Ranma has to say. Ms. Poo on the
other
hand is just too stupid to realize that ranma doesn't want a
relationship,
yet she still persists in try to get him. The stinky song by the
Cardigans
"Love Fool" is a good way to describe her and Ukyou. They're both
filled with
delusions of grandure(Sic).
Shampoo isn't really stupid- she's determined to force herself upon
him. The Amazon law
dictates she must marry him, so she'll go full board to make sure he
has no choice BUT
to marry him- she knows he doesn't want a relationship, and that's why
she uses the spices
and other cheap tactics.
Now, Kodachi is the one too stupid to realize Ranma doesn't want
a relationship. She NEVER figured out about his curse-- just like
her brother. Speaking of Tatewaki, he made a good counterpoint to
Ranma in the first two to three episodes, but after that became quite
pathetic. I feel Takahashi dropped the ball there.
> Concerning Ukyou, I don't hate her as much, but she seems a
little the
same way. She thinks that Ranma loves her, but when in reality he
does not.
So, someone needs to slap her a few times and bring her back to
reality and
let her live her own life. If there's anyone to blame for her being
this way,
it's Genma.
If I were Soun, I would have had Genma explain to the various
'fiancees'.. maybe
Genma would have gotten some of the violence he deserves! If I were
Nodoka,
when I found out, Genma would have been in a SERIOUS amount of trouble
for
lying to each of the fiancees in turn.
If ANYONE has been taking advantage of the situation and being a
complete
inconsiderate clod, it's Genma. Anything Nabiki has done has never
really
come CLOSE to the hell Genma has given Ranma.
Speaking of Nabiki, she seems a bit too.. cold hearted.. in some Ranma
fanfics.
You can see throughout the series that she DOES care about Ranma
somewhat--
you'll note she doesn't want to break up the relationship between Akane
and Ranma,
even though THEY haven't noticed they care.
To Adrian:
Yes, you did make several vaild points about Colonge, but I
still don't
like the withering old crone. In fact, I'm glad what I did to her in
Hammer's
Wrath. There wasn't anything left to be buried!
Cologne is more of a plot point than a character in Ranma 1/2. She's
more the
source of information and training-- you never see HER out there really
in the
middle of the action.
Bottom Line: I do NOT like Ukyou and Shampoo. I like Akane, because
she more
level headed than most other characters in R1/2.
Akane? Level headed? I believe that the description of level headed
includes not losing your temper at the minor things-- you'd
think that the average female would not be as quick as Akane to
send Ranma into hyperspace. They'd at least wait for an explanation.
Also, I state for the record that Akane has NEVER had a mallet
except in a single OAV. This is a convention used in fanfics mainly,
and I'm not sure how it became canon.
If anyone wants to continue this meaningless argument, then do
so,
don't expect me to be a part of it anymore.
I don't consider this an argument, just me clearing up a few things and
going back to lurking while I finish a project.
