    The craziest thing for me that was said about Apollyon that might be true, is that Apollyon could have easily defeated the emperors champion. Or maybe it would've been an even fight. But it would still lead to the same conclusion, which is Apollyon winning. But Apollyon chose to lose, cause once she's dead, the reason why everyone is here is basically gone... So what are these 3 factions, which have literal centuries of bad blood between them and at this very moment, are tensed, angry and are ready for fight going to do next? I can't believe I'm saying this but she in a way became a martyr... a martyr of war. FUCKING BRILLIANT STORY WRITING!

    Apollyon is The Dark Knight version of the Joker (incidentally, there's a very plausible theory that he too is a broken trauma survivor, perhaps a veteran, trying to justify to himself what happened.)
    "These, 'civilized people? They'll eat each other."
    Now, I can certainly see the Major comparison, but I think Heath Ledger's portrayal is closer to the heart of the matter.
    Is Apollyon right? She has to constantly kill people who prove her wrong. She has to say, "everyone's a wolf or a sheep. What, you prove otherwise? Well you don't count." STAB
    Apollyon doesn't even know what a wolf is. Wolves spend most of their time in their packs, with their families. They hunt what they need to live, then call it a day. Violence is not their universal state of being. Nor can it be for humans. It takes a decade and a half to prepare a human combatant and only seconds to kill them. Peace has to be the default state or there are no people to fight at all.
    Nothing about her makes sense from a thinking point of view. She's not here to challenge our beliefs. She's someone that broke under the realities of a flawed world and is out to ruin everything.

    • @RavenKnightYT
      @RavenKnightYT  Год назад +4

      I disagree.
      Apollyon was 100% right. Who does she kill who proves her wrong? Her philosophy is: There are wolves; the strong, who fight and kill as true warriors. Then there are sheep, the weak who are trampled and devoured by the strong. Who proves her wrong? In her entire story what character stepped forward to prove her wrong? Remember when she captured the remnants of the Iron Legion? Only two Iron Legion soldiers attacked her, she spared them because she saw them as wolves. The rest did nothing but wait to die...and she killed them because only sheep wait for their own death.
      No one proved her wrong.
      You're now discussing the nature of wolves vs Apollyon's analogy. Yes, wolves hunt in packs and they live for a family dynamic, but the analogy is not the nature of wolves, the analogy is wolf vs sheep. The sheep are weaker than the wolves. They are preyed on by the wolves. That was the point.
      Everything about her makes sense...I explained her philosophy in my video.

    • @Venneroth
      @Venneroth Год назад +1

      @@RavenKnightYT I'm puzzled you would say she is 100% right when you offered refutation of her notions in your own video, for instance, when you discussed the combatant to support non-combatant ratio that makes war possible. Or at the end when you suggested (I think, quite rightly) that her whole "philosophy" is just rationalizing her trauma.
      As for people she needed to remove to make people actually engage in kill-or-be-killed, predator or prey, there's a fair few she needed to kill and some she did.
      1. The previous warlords of the Blackstones she thought were too soft.
      2. All the other Legions in Ashfeld (outside of those that joined, obviously)
      3. Jarl Gudmundr Branson and his men, entrusted by the other Jarls of Valkenheim to safeguard their supplies and seeds for the next year's planting in his fortress for the common good.
      4. The Raider and their allies, who restore order, reunite their people and set to sorting their food problems.
      5. Most of the Dawn Empire's Daimyos who stood by their ordered hierarchy and loyalty to their emperor and had to be stormed, first by the Vikings then by the Blackstones and killed off until only the most selfish scoundrels remained and said they would do what she wanted. Yes, she had them on their knees, but it doesn't matter. Even if they were on their feet, trying to bite her throat out, what she claims to approve of, she would still have killed them off because they wanted to unite and keep order in the land.
      6. The Warden/Ayu/The Orochi that each rallied the survivors of Apollyon's purges in their respective lands and restored internal order.
      By the time Apollyon falls, the three nations (if that's the right word for them, perhaps factions?) are at war, but they are also reunified internally, protecting their own civilians, maintaining their own infrastructure and keeping their own internal peace, rejecting her false dichotomy.
      You are quite right to say she makes sense, but what she says doesn't. Combining your commentary with my own thoughts, she has no room in her binary madness for civilian support, tradesmen, mothers, teachers, children or any of the other parts of humanity that enable the species to keep existing.
      That last part is most critical. Her world has no room for children. That's what I meant about the fifteen years to make a combatant. In order to have her wolves, the wolves would need to, bare minimum, set aside war for anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 decades to raise new wolves or have a population of "sheep" actively protected by the wolves raising the new wolves for them. In which case, the wolves aren't treating those "sheep" as prey, but protected, valuable kin that still aren't wolves. Either her binary breaks down or humanity breaks down.
      Anyway, thanks for the video and response. It was fun to revisit one of those villains who "just want to watch the world burn."

    Who is Apollyon? Well she a female version of Ulysses from Fallout New Vegas of course.
    My argument for that: Both Apollyon and Ulysses uses animals to symbolize certain groups of people (Apollyon using "Wolf" and "Sheep" to refer to the strong and weak. Ulysses using "Bull" and "Bear" to refer to the NCR and Caesar's Legion.) Also they both like to tell lots of speeches explaining their beliefs, perspectives and philosophy.

    Apollyon meaning "Destroyer". appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an angel of the abyss. In the Hebrew Bible, abaddon is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place Sheol (שְׁאוֹל Šəʾōl), meaning the resting place of dead peoples. In the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, an angel called Abaddon is described as the king of an army of locusts; his name is first transcribed in Koine Greek (Revelation 9:11-"whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon,") as Ἀβαδδών, and then translated Ἀπολλύων, Apollyon.And yes Apollyon is Abbadon אֲבַדּוֹן which is the fallen angel~demon. Or you can interpret it more easily its the representation of the devil or Satan.

    Man i love the campaign in For Honor, but i refuse to play it over because the movesets are outdated. Relearning the game after you play story is not fun.

      Yes. The original video was blocked and struck by RUclips. I rereleased it and fixed the issue they had.
