What exactly is it that we're getting out of the characterization of certain characters as Christ figures other than foreshadowing that said figures are going to be instrumental in seeing the story to a happy conclusion despite being beaten down? How does this help thematic elements? I suppose in TTGL, it sends a message akin to:<br /><br />Simon: Hey Kamina, hey Kamina! Be my savior!<br />Kamina: Simon, you are the savior.<br />Simon: *Uses drill to pierce heavens*<br /><br />but what about literature and other media forms in general? What's up with this trope?BearMetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463986314621116683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312952949014791769.post-30304223351544094272010-09-14T19:15:55.827-07:002010-09-14T19:15:55.827-07:00Star Driver looks like it's going to be lulz.....Star Driver looks like it's going to be lulz... though whether it's the good kind of lulz or the bad kind remains to be seen.Stormshrughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975091216339833486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312952949014791769.post-48224096111945620462010-09-14T14:15:38.306-07:002010-09-14T14:15:38.306-07:00Damn.
