Why do my jokes turn into such lenghty discussions?

[18:50:17] Mega: "she won't really have too much of a major role" She never had a 'major' role to begin with. (rofl) [18:50:34] Misk Oos: Hm... That's a fair point LOL [18:50:48] Mega: Major roles are like main villains or main characters (think) [18:51:11] Misk Oos: Well she was a major character of GMG imo [18:51:20] Misk Oos: and her relation to Jellal strengtened it too [18:51:30] Misk Oos: She basically had her mini-arc inserted into GMG [18:51:47] Mega: Yuh, but who's to say roles don't change. ;P [18:55:00] Misk Oos: Yes, but my point was that it'd be too forced given that she was basically created due to Jellal, or that's what it looks like. We know her backstory, everything. Mashima may give her a role of a supporting character, say, for Erza, but there cannot be a plot twist that will make her as relevant as with Jellal around without it seeming like an asspull. Imo at least. [18:55:20] Mega: Read my comment about Levy. [18:55:33] Mega: That's what I'm talking about. Not a sudden "huge" role change. [18:56:46] Misk Oos: But Levy's different. She's a supporting character to begin with. Even if Mashima intended to ignore her, her current presence in the story doesn't break the flow of her character, she's there doing what she's always been doing during the entire series, lol. [18:57:11] Misk Oos: I wanted to say something else but I forgot when you brought up Levy.. [18:57:18] Mega: How would Kagura break any story thing? o_O [18:57:34] Mega: We've read many manga were past characters return, randomly. [18:57:48] Mega: Perfect example would be Naruto [18:57:56] Misk Oos: If they suddenly tried to associate her with, say, Dragon slayers or any part of the 'main' plot [18:58:25] Mega: Hmm. Dragons are not the only point in the story lol. [18:58:43] Mega: Last time Hiro made Natsu talk about Igneel was GMG~ [18:59:03] Mega: See what I mean, things are added/changed as the story goes along. [18:59:28] Misk Oos: Yes but some changes may make sense and some may not ;P [18:59:50] Mega: How would Kagura's return not make sense? (think) [19:00:03] Mega: Saving Erza makes sense, thus the lil sister thing [19:00:44] Mega: Look at Flare...after the Water park thing her role could have ended there~ [19:01:00] Misk Oos: Well I think that one was kind of an asspull, lol [19:01:20] Mega: ( -___-) [19:01:32] Misk Oos: They could've used anyone for that role too [19:01:50] Mega: Thank you. :3 [19:01:54] Mega: Anyone. :D [19:03:33] Misk Oos: hmm? Doesn't that just prove my point. If a certain character can be replaced by a different character in their situation and it doesnt break the story, then it hardly makes the former character relevant. [19:03:48] Misk Oos: Erza can be saved by, for example, Meredy [19:03:49] Misk Oos: lol [19:04:51] Mega: It would. But after me saying that Flare's role was over at the Water Park and you agreeing with me only to have Hiro use her again for the last arc proves that writers can give characters role and would fit to the story, if that's how ya wanna put it~ [19:05:15] Mega: Welll, to be fair, Meredy is...hmm, with Jellal. [19:05:17] Mega: Doing nothing. >_> [19:05:32] Misk Oos: Yes, but I also said it was an asspull because there was absolutely no foreshadowing or anything [19:05:44] Mega: Really Misk? -_- [19:05:47] Mega: Flare/Sun [19:06:54] Misk Oos: Even if he planned it from the start with that name, it was poorly executed imo. We have absolutely no idea till she appears thousands of kms away in the Sun Village, lol [19:07:39] Mega: That's where I'm trying to get at. Things change, make sense to the story or not. (think) [19:09:45] Misk Oos: I think we're basically agreeing with each other but still trying to prove each other wrong xD [19:10:27] Mega: Yuh XP
