Talk:Loid's Revenge/@comment-26480939-20190314021508

I have to say, that as a bullying victim when I was still in school, I actually did sympathize with Loid's actions at first. Once it got to the fight with the 'bullies', though, I completely lost any empathy I did have for him. I admit, I did have fantasies of killing/brutally wounding my tormentors too, as did probably anyone else who's been bullied, but I never actually carried any of them out. Partly because I left grade school near the end, and partly because I got some psych meds that mellowed me out a lot. He went from 'sympathetic bullying victim' to 'homicidal maniac' really fast. As bad as the bullies were, their battle depiction of them as scared kids and a horrified teacher really drove the point home that these were for the most part, relatively innocent kids and adults. Then having him retaliate violently against Ninten for 'abandoning' him, only to get killed himself was something that just (seemingly) came out of nowhere. I do give you points for relatability for users who were bullied at some point in their lives, though.

DAE Rating: 6.5/10 Above average, but mostly due to personal relatability.

Breakdown:

Shock/Scare Factor: Almost nonexistent for scariness, moreso for shock. 7/10

Meat: I'm horridly unfamiliar with the Mother series, having only seen 1 LP of this game's sequel and gleaning random bits of trivia about the series from multiple sources. Due to my lack of knowledge about the series, I have to give this a N/A/10

Spelling/Grammar: Not too many, save for a strange possessive form in a location name that might or might not actually be in the game. unsure 9/10
