My problem is not that Subaru or Rem have flaws. My problem is the obvious disconnect between the Re:Zero its fans assert must exist and the Re:Zero that exists in front of my eyeballs when I watch it @garfielgrice/1291725758914801664Permalink On twitter.com

So let's try this again. I'll ask a question this time. If S2E4 and S2E5 wanted to show us that Emilia is a character who can do things on her own, why not give her the agency that Subaru has had?Permalink On twitter.com

Why continue this thing where there are things Emilia will never know because the men around her help her behind the scenes, and she's just left to do her duty? Emilia is supposed to be a queen one day and we never see her in charge of anything.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Why is Emilia even in the Sanctuary in the first place? It's because she's helping Subaru save Rem. Because Rem is important to Subaru.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Why not give her her own reasons to be there? Or, as a consequence for losing her memories of Rem, she can just go "Sorry, I'm not spending time on this individual I don't know when there are so many other fires I could be putting out"?On twitter.com

And then the story could split. We could see Emilia handling things on her end while Subaru saves Rem. We could learn things about the two of them. It'd be actually enjoyable maybe.Permalink On twitter.com

See, a smart show would recognize this contraction and do something interesting with it. Re:Zero is not a smart show, so it just tucks its head and barrels on throughPermalink On twitter.com
