->''Remember, the last thing we heard from Amanda after she told her story in ''[[Film/SawI Saw]]'' was a meek admission that "He helped me."

->''I'm not buying it. So Erza can [[{{Hammerspace}} requip]] between several mundane weapons. Fair enough. She has the unique ability to requip her armour. Fine. She can also use this ability to change between several outfits. Cool. But being able to asspull a magical armour to fit any situation? Something doesn't add up here. We've established on the introduction of Requip magic that it's just that - re-equipping yourself from hammerspace. She has to have physically obtained everything in it. So where the fuck did all the armour-for-any-occasion come from?! It's not any common armour, we know that for sure. Magic had to have been involved in its creation, and at least one specific armour is noted as unique, the Purgatory Armour ("Nobody who has seen this armour has lived to tell the tale!"). What Erza's doing is almost like running around with ten Excaliburs in your pocket.''

->''"Did I foreshadow this plot twist? Hah, no! That would ruin the surprise! Why would a writer want to build up their narrative with subtle clues and foreshadowing that rewards the reader for paying attention to the story's fine details, when we can instead smack the audience in the face with it from nowhere? The best plot twist is a plot twist introduced for the sake of having a plot twist!"''

In Mega Man X he was a torso then but he didn't repair himself! This is retarded! There is nothing more retarded than this. And at the end of X5, he said that in order for there to be peace, he should probably die for a while! Maybe if I was gone there would be peace! So why would he rebuild himself?! He had the whole intention of dying! Good job X6! Good job retconning that!
