I'm not sure if I'm excited or anxious.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Y'know, Cloud, I'm surprised something like shooting a film has got you so worked up. As bad as the film is, it seems a little disproportionate.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?It's not just the stupid. It's the subject matter... you mentioned that Reaper War? What if someone made some movie saying that all those people didn't die, and that it was really just a smaller part of some evil guy's plan to take over the universe, and then dragged up a bunch of stuff that... I don't really know enough about where you're from to have an analogue, but...
Before Meteorfall, there was this ecoterrorist group named Avalanche. What they stood for was all well and good, but half of the time, they weren't much better than the regime they were fighting against. Anyway, after they pulled another bombing attack, Shinra started playing dirty. Arranged with the Turks to destroy Sector 7, then pin the blame on Avalanche, rallying support for the empire. Herp a derp "Bush did 9/11" parallels. Killed tens of thousands for a political gambit... ironically, the only people to survive that attack were some Avalanche members themselves. When people found out about that, let alone the other atrocities Shinra committed, it... wasn't pretty. The WRO was still being set up at the time, so there was chaos everywhere. Former employees and their families were dragged out of their houses in the middle of the night by angry mobs made of the remnants of families that had lost loved ones, and lynched them. Shinra funded buildings, even hospitals, were torched. The world was on the brink of war. Sephiroth was discovered to have been part of that mess, and that made it even worse. -Looks away briefly- A rash of murders broke out, the victims all having been discovered to have worked on some of Shinra's little science projects... they never did catch whoever did it, either. And part of that was because no one really wanted to. All that violence, and only three arrests were made. Even now, I still get rocks thrown at me when I go out without my glasses, just because I have glowing eyes — the trademark of Soldier, Shinra's elite fighting force — one that they used to wipe out anyone who opposed them. Nibelheim wasn't the only town that burned in those years...
Now imagine that someone made a movie pretending that Sector 7 was just fine. That Shinra was an ally fighting one of their own creations. That all the abhorrent things they did were forgiven, because they're "really sorry". That Soldiers (or Deepground, as they're called here) really needed love and understanding, despite most of them, with the exception of this one guy I knew, being sociopaths.
...Yuffie's lucky as hell she has diplomatic immunity. That's all I'm saying.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist...Been talking to Barret. We haven't told Yuffie, but I'll be listed on the credits as Steve Burton.
-to Pent- I know you have an utter lack of empathy for other people's hardships, so I'll just warn you now — any snide remarks, any stupid looks from you, and they will never find your body.
...This is possibly the most meta thing I've ever done. It's quite uncomfortable. Still, actor jokes. Wheeee...

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWell, you've got to draw the line somewhere, I guess. Do you think she'll mind?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Well, it's for the best.
I'd certainly hate to be credited on a Reaper War movie. There's still a lot of hatred. There's even a pretty vocal group that wants to chase them into dark space and try to finish them off, even after they became docile and helpful.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You mean you're still keeping the damn things around?! I'm with those people! Get rid of them! Who knows when those things will turn on you? Because they will. Mark my words, this will lead to nothing good.
