@@voidboi2831 Eh. Not really. Lawful Evil means you use rules and laws to your own advantage, not that you're devoted to upholding the law. Lawful Good obeys "the spirit of the law", Lawful Neutral obeys "the letter of the law", and lawful evil bends the law to work for them. Zora is definitely leaning neutral evil, but her word clearly means *something* to her, no matter how hypocritical she is about keeping it or she wouldn't have offered the draw to begin with. And it's not like she resorted to breaking her own rules when it looked like she was going to lose, or she always planned on breaking her own rules. She did so while emotionally charged and clearly regretted doing so afterwards.

“in fact, she is the only character with more than one brain cell” this is so painfully correct

For this video, I feel like even though Percy is technically more of a POV character, Ramsey gets about as much screen time and is a lot more complex in his alignment, especially compared to Percy, who is the most lawful good character ever, and would have been a better fit to get the more in depth analysis

I only just realized: Molly Blyndeff - Epithet: "Dumb" Blind, Deaf, and Dumb.

I kinda feel like Molly's true neutral since throughout the entire arc she's mostly just trying to go home and just ends up teaming up with whoever she ends up befriending, plus she lies to a police officer and whatnot as well. That's just me though

"Not only thoughtful but horribly irresponsible" Never had Chaotic good more succinctly described.

Meta Runner only really has a few easter eggs relating to SMG4 and the protagonist, Tari, has a version in SMG4. but the two are separate Characters. Meta Runner has plenty to work with and is a project independent from their other works.

Putting Sylvie in Chaotic Neutral is a tad inaccurate, he's definitely Chaotic Good (more chaotic than good, but still solidly in that category), as while he does whatever he feels like, he always does what he feels is the right thing (he just doesnt care for rules at all). He works for Mera to begin with because he didnt know she was the one in the wrong, and he joins up with the others so willingly because he wants to do the right thing. Edit: He also gets distraught when he wakes up and sees the damage Beefton did

SUCH a cool mosaic to use!!! Oh gosh it's just hard enough to make out that I need to watch more of these analyses. Well done with that...

Spoilers for the video . . . . . I fully expected Molly to wind up either Chaotic Good, or at least Neutral Good leaning Chaotic. Given part of her arc involves being able to stand up for herself, and going to bed instead of opening up the shop is about as Chaotic Good as it gets

Just rewatched this after the Giovanni video and having a second go at the Prison of Plastic audiobook (Yes, that's like 20+ hours spent. It's that good. Don't judge me) and makes me really hope that we get a Prison of Plastic video like this one at some point.

I feel like Percy was play on words for the meme Don't Call Me Shirley.

Percy is assigned cop at birth

I always felt like Ramsay was more of the main character than Percy. Ramsay: Is more involved and allied with Giovanni. As opposed to just wanting to arrest him. Has been hunted by Zora for a while, and took several measures to protect himself. As opposed to wanting to just arrest her. And all of that behind Percy's back. Not to mention he keepshis epithet a secret while still supporting the cause. I dunno, the fact that Ramsay is more involved makes me think of him as the follow character.

Molly's character arc is going from narc to accomplice

His opinion on Molly's dad on being the worst is literally my opinion on him the very 1st episode I watched on Epithet Erased

3:40 I think the worst father in fiction is already taken by FMA

The funny thing is, it wasn’t until close to the end that I finally figured out why the item is called the arson amulet. It has nothing to do with the fire. It has to do with Arsene the thief. Which makes more sense, considering it’s steals, the epithet of others.

This show is amazing

Last time u checked he had at least 230,000 so glad it's getting more support

Personally I would have classified Ramsey as the protag of arc 2 since we follow him a lot more, but it makes sense that you chose Percy since she has more of an arc than him.

I feel like Molly makes the jump to neutral good about the end, with that little act of rebellion of "nope! Bedtime!"

not gonna Lie Epithet erased has become one of my favorites. I literally made my first OC since into the spider-verse so we know that means something at least, but that not why I love it so much. I love it as much as I do because it takes word play to another level. For example: Say someone thought you most resembled a knight. Well in the awesome world of Epithet erased that basically becomes your power based on how YOU view it. When YOU hear knight what do you think of? The heroic stoic protectors of the castle clad in armor? Or do you think of something else? Here's basically what I asked myself, since I loosely based this OC on me, while making it: What do you think would be the word most likely to be your power? I had to think on this for a while actually until, believe it or not it was when I was taking my pills that the word came to me. Ballistic. Ballistic has multiple meanings including a object who's flight is driven by gravity, over THREE HUNDRED different words that basically me angy, and oh yeah the name of a type of NUKE.....I mean the story writes itself....and so do the attacks and abilities as well because I got so inspire to make this guy I think I accidentally made him OP, but I found a way around that. But the best part? I think I wrote him well enough that he could actually pass off as a official character...maybe....ether way this show got me THAT inspired, can't wait for more.

An interesting indie show you can do for alignments would be the "Terrain of Magical Expertise" by Kirbopher. One of the first indie animated shows I watched on KZread.

One show that didn't get enough love when it was released was LastMan. You can only watch the GOOD English dub on VRV, but it's such an underrated show. I feel like the two main characters Richard and Siri would be really cool!

favorite quote: "you have to know how to properly MILK the cone". "NEVER say those words again".

“Totally not a Reality Marble….” That just earned an automatic sub from me.

Your favorite postal worker here and YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS THATS MY SHIT ILL DIE FOR YOU MOLLY YOUR PERFECT And folks in real life he’s more nerdy sounding this voice is a lie

My three favorite characters are Sylvie, Ramsey, and Zora. They're all just too fuuny in different ways.

Loved the video, though I'd have to disagree with your assessment of Indus. He is definitely a really nice guy and will default to being kind and helpful in most situations. However, when push comes to shove, he clearly prioritizes his loyalty to Mera over any sense of morality. While helping steal the Arsene Amulet could be justified as being necessary to cure Mera's condition, there is no excuse for his attempt to abduct Molly, especially after she told him to his face that she didn't want her Epithet stolen. Granted, Indus could easily undergo character development later on, but I can't see his behavior in season 1 as anything except lawful neutral.

Yay, more epithet erased

After rewatching epithet erased abd this video i officially belive that Molly is now Giovani’s new daughter
