Seven deadly sins checked off every damn trope box. Side characters getting pushed out of the story period unrequited love by a death that is tragic but people still get to say their last words. people having sex with each other and reproducing even though it doesn't make any since for them to be able to - HarleyQuinn and Diane. Ignoring the gratuitous sexual assault and how everything is just really creepy and grooming and going with the main characters anyway - Elizabeth and Meliodas. And also HarleyQuinn and Diane, technically. The androgynous character being single forever. The carefree sweethearts - Ban and Eliena. What's really weird is that the couple that ended up being the carefree sweethearts are the two that were the most serious and honest with each other about their feelings the whole time.
I'm just sick of the "everyone lives cisgender and heterosexual and they all lived happily ever after (until the sequel sometimes)". Where the gays?! Why is no one gay? Why are there no gays?
It never works. People weren't feeling #ShamanKing so the sequel got canceled. And people aren't feeling #Boruto.
I hate to see it. I really hate to see this beautiful shiny anime trope out to the very end. The only different thing it brought to the table with the upsetting amount of groping and lack of backlash in season 1 through 3.
All of these characters are in some way thousands of years old. Even though Elizabeth has a different chronological body, her soul is thousands of years old. Why do they do this basic bitch shit? how can things be so timeless for you and yet you're still confined to the human constructs of monogamous relationships and heterosexuality and cisgenderism?
