When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.
I’m playing the remake and I’m at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.
Back then I didn’t know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.
Blew my mind.
Halo 2:
“But these are MY elites. There lives matter to me. YOURS does not.”
“That makes two of us”.
At first, I thought Arbiter meant “your life doesn’t matter to me, either”. But he’s really saying “MY OWN LIFE doesn’t matter to me, either.”
Halo in general has a lot of scenes and themes that didn’t really click for me until fairly recently. 2 and 3 in particular have no business having such good writing.
