i am determined to make everyone hate me

I could be making extremely personal entries about my issues relating to that semi-stalking incident back in October.

Instead, you guys get more Plurks on my new absurdity. WHATEVER WHATEVER I DO WHAT I WANT.

It is actually crazy how similar Cyrus is to Yugi - except for two things: he sucks at dueling, and he has brother issues. Actually, the sucks at dueling part might be entirely attributable to the brother issues, so really, it's only one major character difference.

I'm not entirely sure I'd characterize Jaden entirely as an expy of Joey - the upbeat attitude is similar, but that's honestly where the similarities end.

As for Kaiba, they split the main attributes of his character up into three and gave one to each of three rival-type characters, none of whom are as fabulous as the original. (Chazz comes close due to his hilarious richness and amazing catchphrase, but he mostly exists to have his haughtiness broken and to learn humility, which never happens to Kaiba and rightfully never should happen.)

I could ramble more, but I would hate myself for attempting to take GX seriously. |D

It is actually sort of interesting, in a way, because what GX is is basically a vast hideous "canon" High School AU of Yu-Gi-Oh! taken to its logical extreme. It's initially a sort of wacky wish fulfillment for all the young kids at the time it was airing, a sort of WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO STUDY THIS GAME THAT I LOVE ALL THE TIME AND HAVE FUN FOR SCHOOL INSTEAD OF LEARNING MATH AND THINGS I AM UNINTERESTED IN?

And then after a half-season's worth of that, the show takes it and gradually begins to answer the question: NO. NO, IT WOULD NOT BE COOL. IT WOULD IN FACT BE THE AWFULEST THING EVER. FOR REAL.

oh shit i really am taking this seriously, aren't i /sobs forever
