“If you go back to ancient Egypt you’ll probably find a story written in the hieroglyphs featuring two men like this” This dynamic even goes as far back as the world’s first legend with Gilgamesh and Enkidu It’s the protagonist and lancer. Which one is the cool, collected one, and which one is the brash, eager one swaps around with every story, but yeah, the dynamic itself is quite literally as old as fiction

@mpnuorvaАй бұрын
@@LucarioDoT That's a specifically Japanese variation as a stock character pair (hence "Oni", and the Red and Blue Oni are antagonists in the story of Momotaro not protagonist and deuteragonist) that was probably the basis for Eliwood and Hector. Generally speaking the two characters are somehow contrasting though like Gilgamesh being a king ie. born and raised in civilization and Enkidu a wild man that comes to civilization from nature.

@devinbuettgenbach2941Ай бұрын
Honestly I kinda think with how he did end up dying it did technically break the curse. He didn't die in the midst of a battle, he made it back at least for a little while and he died without turmoil in his soul. His sole desire was to see his daughter one last time, there was no rage or despair.

@LealFireballАй бұрын
Makes sense to interpret the "curse of the armads" scene as something literal, but from the characterization of the armads through durban's apparition, it feels to me that he's just saying that those who seek greater power are cursed to die in battle for that's the way of those who seek to prove their strength. It seems that the kind of guy Durban was, a battle crazed berserker who fought for the sake of power. It doesn't look like many of the eight legends were exemplary good folk, so that to makes sense to me. Hey, as long as the dragons are dead am I right?

I might be reaching a bit, but I think there's an intended explanation as to why Armads' curse isn't present. The Elibe legendary weapons have obviously degraded in power, but at the time of FE7, Armads had done so considerably less. Armads has 25 durability in 7, but only 20 durability in 6, implying Hector did a lot of the work against the fire dragon (which he probably does in gameplay too, if not Luna). All the other S-rank weapons have 20 durability, in both 6 and 7. It's subtle, but it's there.
@arikaaa6929 күн бұрын
A cynic would say you're giving the writers and designers too much credit here, but I think its a cool explanation. Maybe all the other legendary weapons had curses too once, but with time and use they've somewhat faded away

I think Farina's support is putting a mirror up to Hector. She's a lot like him, putting up a show of strength and hiding her vulnerability. Hector, being the person he is, is having none of that and doesn't want her to put up those kind of walls because he knows what it is like and is miserable.

Stoic actions are often frowned upon today. It's kind of sad to me. Hector doesn't even tell anyone of Uther's passing in Eliwood Mode and you learn he dies in the postgame slides. He doesn't share his distractions because there are more pressing responsibilities. Hector makes me think of how the term "Constant Companion" can be somewhat mistakenly taken or said to mean "one who is always tagging along." Hector is very constant, because, like a stone, you can rely on him to be a certain way. He will always consistently act in a way that supports his friends, to a fault. He even does this politically, getting his hands dirty with a team of spies- he'll be that bad guy doing the thing that keeps the good guy safe if he has to.

My theory is that because Hector broke the seal on Armads is why he's cursed by it. If he handed it over to someone else he would still hold the curse. Of course the fact his family carries a terminal illness this curse could have saved him. Can't die to an illness if you're cursed to die in combat.

Buddy I'm real early into this and lemme say some man to man. Hector is a brute because hes a sensitive guy. This is just what a well-written emotional man is in Media. Stories where they try to portray an emotional guy that has absolutely no sense of anger and frustration are badly written a good amount of the time. It's just a bad thing when a story talks about a guy who embraces what he feels, but somehow is like perfectly stoic when it comes to frustration and anger. That's what actually makes a well-written emotional character that's a guy. The actions actually being driven by personal purpose.
