The official account of Blue Arc, a certain website, released an interview video between its boss Wang Wei and Tiger King voice actor Gao Quansheng. In it, Gao Quansheng asked Wang Wei a question, that is, "Pluto from "Super Beast Arms" "Is it good or bad?" Wang Wei used the duality of light as a particle and a wave to make it clear that Pluto is both good and evil and difficult to judge. So, is the character Pluto a good guy or a bad guy? Ten years ago we would have said this was a gray character, but now we see him as an out-and-out villain. Why do you say that? Let’s analyze it in detail, as follows: Is the routine of making excuses for villains outdated?

Pluto in "Super Beast Arms" is an invader, and the wolf tribe he leads is also known for its bloodthirsty cruelty. , the reason why such a black-spotted character was forgiven by many people back then was because his wife died and he also had Nietzsche's famous sayings. The character of Pluto could frighten the audience ten years ago, but ten years later everyone has become accustomed to this kind of villain. Putting aside the childhood filter, he is just a clown.

Mirandi in "King Ranking" lost his mother, so he went dark and started troubles, and the ruined king in "League of Legends" lost his wife, so he chose to destroy the world. They are both villains with difficult reasons, and they are placed in the top ten. The evaluation years ago was that it was "flesh and blood", but now the audience doesn't accept this and scolds the two villains bloody. Pluto is similar to these clown villains. Now the audience understands a truth: no matter how miserable the villain's life experience is, it is not a reason to start a war. Hades, by another name, might have enjoyed the same treatment as Mirandi and the Ruined King. The character of Pluto is very dangerous. Will he be scolded if he puts it in Japanese comics?

Nowadays, the audience likes to scold Japanese comics for "anti-defeat" and "launching aggression". As soon as the finale of "Attack on Titan" comes out It has been condemned in this way. And the character of Pluto is quite dangerous even in Japanese comics, because he is involved in both. First of all, Pluto talked about peace for the first time when he was about to die when the Snow Emperor was approaching the city. The second time he talked about peace was after he was greatly weakened by Guigu's backstabbing. Only when we lose can we start talking about peace. This is "anti-defeat" rather than "anti-war".

Secondly, Pluto’s image as an invader cannot be erased. He attacked Long Ying’s army in the second parallel universe and sent an army to invade the first parallel universe. Did these two parallel universes provoke Pluto? No, I don't even know who he is. Therefore, the war launched by Pluto is unjust. Even the war he launched a hundred thousand years ago to maintain the survival of the wolf tribe was criticized, because he personally admitted that the wolf tribe was a bloodthirsty race, and the wolf tribe was killed because it was difficult for them to survive. Does invading other countries seem familiar in history? Has the current audience’s perspective of appreciating works changed?

Today’s animation audiences are not as pure as they were ten years ago. The audiences themselves also like to bring in private goods. They have already preset their own positions before watching the works. When Sylas's background story in "League of Legends" first came out, people thought he was just against Demacia. But when the story developed to Sylas leading an army of foreign pig girls to attack Demacia, his reputation became bad. , was called a "traitor", there is a character in "Super Beast Arms" who is very similar to Silas.

This character is Long Ying. Long Ying’s tribe was wiped out by the Qinglong tribe. It is an internal struggle in the second parallel universe and outsiders cannot interfere. As a result, Long Ying led Pluto's army back to the second parallel universe and used the power of foreign enemies to attack her hometown. Audiences ten years ago could understand Long Ying. Ten years later, according to Silas's situation of being scolded as a "traitor," Long Ying will inevitably be scolded as a "dragon." All in all, audiences now have more attributes, and they are more likely to find fault with animations.

Summary:

The view that Pluto is both good and evil is still the mainstream view. After all, the audience’s impression of Pluto was still ten years ago, when they were still pure appreciators.

But Pluto is always an aggressor. If the audience uses the current anti-invasion stance to analyze Pluto, many of them may turn negative. What do you think?
