will powers being in universe a big ugly hairy guy (funny to a western audience who without fail go ‘hugh jackman !!’ upon first seeing will powers) in a show about fighting and his trial unmasking him and making him unpalatable as a male lead and getting him fired by global studios and then him being replaced within the year by a significantly younger public-facing pop idol whose show is about a love triangle is incredibly interesting to be an almost totally unremarked upon background event. same for investigations indicating that global studios went full scorched earth on nickel samurai after the engarde scandal not only dropping the character completely and going back to the steel samurai but turning to kaiju movies instead. creator of four hour ‘the nickel samurai: the boom and bust of a franchise’ video essay about how the lead being a murderer was really the least of the show’s problems revealed to be edgeworth wearing a steel samurai mask and using a voice changer after gumshoe walks through the back of a shot
Stop erasing Matt Engarde's scars. I'm sick of people claiming that "His breakdown didn't leave a scars, his scar must have been made by something other than those scratches". No. The marks he makes on himself during his breakdown are all the same shape as his first scar, and the one he makes on his left eye is even a carbon copy. Canonically, after 2-4, Matt Engarde has self-mutilation scars all over his face. And I'm sorry if that spoils his "soft little boy UWU" look for you, but there it is.
So if you want to draw him after his breakdown and without scars, be honest with yourself. Say "I find people with self-mutilation scars so ugly that I can't even stand that a character I love has them" and stop hiding behind false excuses.
Have you listened to Close to the Top by Måneskin? I saw your Engarde playlist and I thought it would be a good fit!
wait omg anon you are a genius idk why i haven't added any måneskin to matt's playlist he's so fitting of their vibe mmmm x___x thank you for the addition rec <333 it has been done
Arguing with the referee (Rin's case - when Shidou kicked him)
Preventing Otoya and Bachira from falling off the bench
Has a competitive nature (he’s almost in every. single. goal. celebrations)
Is a really good leader
He's a logical person hence where the caring comes out and is really mature. At the end of the day, he still thinks they're morons but I hereby declare, looks like could kill you but is a cinnamon roll, your honour.
I actually like it when ships hurt each other in long lasting and unforgiveable ways. I like it when they leave vicious, glaring scars. I like when they leave traumas. I like when they stab each other and torture each other and ruin each other’s lives and violate every inch of each other’s values. and I like it when they fucking kill each other permanently dead.
in a pregame mmhr mood
i could say i love matt engarde because he is tragic young hollywood and there's also implications that his relationship with inpax was Very Bad by way of her being his manager and quite a few years older and i could get really into that and dig into the nuances of his character
but it is So Much Easier to just say murder man pretty
im a summer camp counselor & soccer was one of our activities today. some of my campers play on travel teams so we were actually strategizing talking about formations and who would play what position. they asked me if i used to play because I knew so much. Did not have the heart to tell them "oh no kids I just watch anime" so I was like "no I just watch it sometimes!!"
then proceeded to score a goal with a kick that sailed past like 3 kids & one counselor's head. just call me isagi yoichi at this point
