Inpax had romantic relations with both, but not at the same time.

[@amodelmannequin]

no one respects Phoenix's lawyering because he's never solved a case without a ghost hand-holding him through cross examinations. He never shows up with a strategy or legal theory, its just "my client says they're not guilty therefore that has to be true, here's a bunch of guesses until I land on the correct answer by chance"

[@rebellemuria]

He's made a few smart deductions, 1-4 and 1-5 come to mind. Mia was barely involved in 1-4 and it's not even clear if Phoenix really is hearing her when he starts to "turn his thinking around" about von Karma, or hallucinating from stress. But otherwise yeah he does pretty much kinda roll up unprepared and winging it.

[@dartadeqso]

You say it as if the police and the prosecution were not hiding information from him and all the testimonies were full of lies meanwhile he is the only one who has to and does prove what really happened.

[@glycell5008]

It's not realistic, Phoenix does a fine job and usually offers enough that it is plausible that clients were innocent, and there is enough doubt to get them cleared. The game takes it further, and if you don't prove it was specifically someone else, then they will convict the defendant just to convict someone. Phoenix's more crazy logic leaps come from trying to convict someone else, which he shouldn't have to even do.

[@kennymartin5976]

And yet, he gets results.

[@amodelmannequin]

@@dartadeqso be that as it may, Edgeworth is absolutely right that Phoenix doesn't know what it means to be a defence attorney. His job isn't to defend the innocent, it's to ensure even the guilty get due process. His frame of mind is why his legal strategy always boils down to "Nuh uh!" until Mia's ghost can point out contradictions for him. Wright isn't without skill but it's absolutely fair to remind him he's tremendously lucky as well

[@MovieMan1710]

This isn't about Phoenix being a bad lawyer, it's about whether he's gonna blindly defend his clients or pursue the truth regardless of how it makes his client. In this case, he knows fully well that his client contracted a killer to murder his rival which means he is actively defending a murderer. Now he has to figure out if he's just going to continue going down that road or if he's going to join Edgeworth on a new path, seeking out the truth of what really happened regardless of who is actually guilty. Hope this helps sum up the case's theme for you guys

[@CristhianMoreno-zs2gs]

The point is kind of undermined because he's basically defending a killer with a close friend at gunpoint. If that was not the case, then it'd be a more interesting moral problem. But Ace Attorney logic.

[@patricktsao9630]

Exactly. in America at least (where this game supposedly takes place, though its more like "Japanifornia"), even someone who is gruesomely, obviously guilty-as-sin is entitled to a defense attorney. The particulars of sentencing and other such things (is it first degree? second degree? was the act aggravated? etc etc etc) are never recommended to be left to a layman, and even someone who is very evidently guilty should be heard properly, tried properly and sentenced properly. After all, someone who mugged someone can be obviously guilty, but if they aren't represented properly, they could get something egregious like the chair - and having recourse against that can't happen if they aren't adequately represented. 100% agree with this comment.

[@Kirbyfemur1]

The fact that they play so many things between sessions, makes sense why they don't remember every detail. The whole fact that Edgeworth is legitimately trying to help Phoenix be a better lawyer is interesting. Cause the fact that he has only represented innocent people is a statistical anomaly. Fair point that every prosecutor he has faced has used underhanded tactics, met only be his shear luck. He is a good person, but he's not really a great lawyer. But luckily for him he exists in a video game, and is meant for entertainment rather than a serious look at how trial go.

[@rebellemuria]

You can definitely see how Phoenix probably would be better off as an artist or actor like his original plans, but because of plot he's so often in the right place and right time that it ends up that he's the only one who could have solved some of these mysteries. Figuring out the truth and trying to help people is part of being a lawyer, so he's got that going for him, but he definitely has his weak points (paperwork, procedure, sometimes ACTUAL LOGIC) too...

How did they come to the conclusion that Adrian killed Juan? She just said a minute ago in the very same conversation that he was already dead when she walked in on him

[@abysslight2490]

Honestly they're not even paying attention at all in this case anymore.

[@Karen-dv3ns]

These boys are writing fanfiction all on their own and I LOVE IT 😂❤

[@AMQthebard]

Now I’m all caught up to y’all gonna have to wait each week for the new episodes on the weekends I love their ace attorney videos it’s what got me into the games and playing them

[@dxz4i.crabcan_]

nah, because this is exactly what happened to me. when I caught up on their AA videos (three days ago) I downloaded the game because I couldn't wait and now I'm obsessed.

[@curleyqreviews9793]

Enjoy.

[@theflickchick9850]

I'm so glad Dan pointed out and critiqued how they keep showing Celeste's hanging. It feels almost exploitative how often they show it. RTGame had to keep censoring it on his playthrough.

[@swishfish8858]

It was a different time, that's what I keep telling myself. The bakery case in the third game squicks me out in a similar way (the chef character is an *awful* stereotype of trans women and it does bother me a lot) but I kept pushing through by reminding myself that it's not like they did it on purpose.

[@AxelXGabriel]

@@swishfish8858 Trans? I thought it was just an over the top stereotype of a foppish/gay dude.

[@TriforceWisdom64]

Showing the same picture over and over is just an AA thing. I'm reminded of the first game flashing back to von Karma saying "There were *two witnesses." The imagery is a bit much for AA. It'd be more at home in an M game like Danganronpa.

[@shadow_leaf7965]

I was kind of enjoying Goofy de Killer, but Dan's voice is better for the character

[@laymayday]

I love how Pearl is suddenly saying stuff like WTF 😂

[@GageisME333]

31:10 i luv bits when they progressively get more and more haywire in a short time like this ome

[@williamfalls]

I know it's traumatic for Pearl, but hearing Dan go "Mystic Maya... Mystic Mijaaaah!" is my favorite reoccurring part of this case.

[@venrvals6129]

Arin doesnt understand that Edgeworth's point isnt that Wright didnt win cases or that he got acquitals for other criminals before Engarde: the point is that Wright isnt completly clean with his work. Over the years, when real life lawyers (and MatPat) have looked at Ace Attorney, they point out how Wright basically pulls out illegal stunts to get his not guilty verdicts.

[@briangak8815]

I mean to be fair nearly everything they do on both sides is completely illegal lol

[@amadeus.7436]

It has nothing to do with legality. It's just that Wright's way of lawyering is entirely based on luck

[@alexandercorbett1147]

The thing where MatPats's theory falls apart though is that Ace Attorney plays by the Japanese legal system's rules, not the American one. However, it is true that Phoenix at this point mostly can't really solve a case and get a not guilty verdict without using some magic or paranormal bs, i.e the using the magatama to uncover people's secrets or having Maya or Pearl channel Mia.

[@magenstaffarts]

@@alexandercorbett1147 Well, there was actually a Japanese lawyer who confirmed things would be illegal by Japanese attorney standards too.

[@rebellemuria]

Everyone jumps around about the updated autopsy report, but Edgeworth did that once, and Mia actually didn't die right away because she was able to say some things before she fell unconscious. Phoenix meanwhile is literally swiping stuff from crime scenes and not letting the police look at them before he presents it. I think the grumps can be forgiven for not realizing, though, they didn't play 1-5 where Phoenix gets called out on this and almost ends up in hot water over it. I think they're also missing that Phoenix asking about whether Edgeworth is suggesting as a defense attorney that he should lie and cheat is a dig at the von karma method, which he thinks Edgeworth still does, because he's still super mad about the note Edgeworth left.

[@funkle_berry]

love the grumps ability to still not understand the story even when its explicitly laid out for them lol

[@GTK_Aztech]

"PhOeNiX hAs hAd sO mUcH hElP aNd iS sO lUcKy!!" Yeah, every lawyer gets help, it's called paralegals, and just like nurses with doctors, paralegals are doing the bulk of the work. Even so, lawyers have a well-renowned circle jerk, so getting help doesn't make them view each other as "hacks." Even then, Phoenix is doing so much on his own, and his only reliable help is a ghost. Give this man some credit.

Arin and Dan are like a reverse Columbo: they figure out the entire plot during the investigation, then proceed to forget it and mess around through the actual trial.

[@hardykun]

[@emberlaura]

I genuinely love watching different people's first playthroughs of this trilogy, there's such crazy stuff going on every chapter. I hope y'all are having fun playing!! Your reactions to the story are hilarious!

[@_Banjo_]

the reticulating splines thing was great bit of back and forth.

[@lmj2k]

Evil Engarde is holding a brandy snifter.

[@talam6288]

Adrian confessed to stabbing the body postmortem not the murder

[@ReettaJ]

I just love the "No that's (insert another word)" -bit :D

[@BlueAmpharos]

42:57 I thought they were about to sing Escape From the City for a moment.

[@mcfeelyat]

35:25 “Is decanter the right word for that?” No, Dan! That’s actually a snifter. Traditionally used for serving brandy, cognac, or well aged whiskey.

[@Donttrustthatburger5144]

I am so glad I'm watching this alone so no one can hear my constant laughter

[@rorytiern8984]

Dan saying this made me giggle because the case they skipped in the first game is way longer. Guess it’s good they never did it lol 7:18

[@OGNoNameNobody]

I think I would lose it pretty hard if the message ever popped up " *Waste of Time* added to the Court Record."

[@glassdragonmedia]

I don't care what anyone says, Adrian Andrews is DEFINITELY a closeted lesbian who was in love with Celeste Inpax, but her mental problems are so jumbled she didn't even know it. "Lesbian" was still a bad word back in the 2000's. I know, I lived through it. So clearly, the devs didn't wanna touch on the TRUTH.

[@DeadmanWL]

So, I think the reason why they treat Phoenix like an idiot lawyer, is because he does do other cases that aren't in the games, and doesn't always win. That's my theory atleast.
