Not every reaction has to be a positive reaction, a nice reaction, or tonally neutral just because another human being created a thing.
I said “to get this out of the way,” specifically because we always have this same runaround each week. I’ve yet to meet one person in the comment section that likes the comic outside of, like, two or three people who either: a) excuse how much the comic is hated for reasons you bring up, or b) say it’s funny because…

I think a Cait Sith frog with a crown riding a huge toad Mog would be the best and most hilarious option lmao
No, refuse Dx
I literally cannot wait to see how they threaten Don Cornello

That’s exactly how it works
Not everyone in SOLDIER was a Sephiroth clone, but depending on if he has the green Mako eyes or not he SHOULD be able to do superhuman feats like that
