I recently watched fight club the 1999 film, and damn do the main character and Ricky make up Tyler Durden and The Narrator's "Relationship" in a Queer lens, an example of the parallels is the chapter 37 where they sit on the tub, it mimics a scene in Fight Club to a tee. I think it might have been the reference at this point.
They talk about their childhoods and their shitty upbringings the same way, I'm boggled at how much they look a like. It's so fun to see things like these. the narrator being a mirror to the MC also explores so much about his desires and what comes of him.
It's also in Ricky and Tyler that you see how just moving to the beat of the world no matter how dark it leads gets you places, fighting fair isn't even an option for them, just like Tyler Durden. Wow thanks for reading my analysis ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
If only she fainted after getting back to her tent or something, why she gotta look so shady and kinda weak
I mean going from no sword skills to god tier in 0.1 seconds has to be exhausting. Like her mind knows what to do but her body isn't trained to do it... so there's a disconnect he's controlling it so her psychical limits are turned off until they slam her in the face all at once when he releases control. Plus after defeating presumably hundreds of soldiers if any of those guys calls her weak... they'll be having words from a fist.
I do get what you're saying though because it's a trope... but I think this is one of the only times I've thought yeah makes sense to faint male or female








IM SO FUCKING BLOWN AWAY WITH THIS STORY MAN. it's insane and downright a good time if you imagine it as a blockbuster instead of a gritty hardcore told In real life story lol, i love this so much. It doesn't take itself too seriously and I'm always on my toes regarding the characters, I'll miss them.
