Part 1 :- My introduction to King Arthur (Saber) was in Fate Zero and to be honest she was probably the best part of the show. I thought that the fact that she was portrayed as female was clever as the legend of King Arthur is a legend first and foremost and therefore the details being diluted and lost as the story gets retold throughout is quite interesting and a female King Arthur is a fresh spin on the legend.
However where this shit went down the drain for me was when I watched the anime adaptation for FSN by studio DEEN (and yes I even saw that miserable excuse for an UBW movie which was just a set of action set pieces glued together). The character of Arthur in the adaptation of the fate route was your typical run of the mill kuudere who has little to no relevance other than to put up with Shiro and later become a generic love interest for him.
It was even worse in the UBW anime as she gets reduced to caster's lesbian torture rape buddy Then I read the visual novel and it clicked. The reason that Arthur was gender swapped was so that she becomes a viable option for Shiro to bang which was crucial because it was a visual novel.
I mean during the development stages of Fate Stay/Night Type Moon was originally going to make it a novel series along the same veins as Garden of Sinners however there was a change of plans and they decided to make it a visual novel and for this they needed to have sex scenes if they were going to sell copies therefore saber was gender swapped. Originally saber was supposed to male like the more commonly known King Arthur in fact a part of this early concept can still be seen in Fate/Prototype.

Part 2:- To be honest compared to Fate/Zero, Fate Stay/Night is bad as in embarrassingly bad. Not only does it have a protagonist who has his head so far up his own ass that he is pretty much a red haired popsicle it also makes one of my favorite characters from Fate/Zero into a lifeless plot device half the time. (also yes the version of Shiro from the visual novel is also a train wreck of a character just like the ones from the show albeit a slightly more fleshed out train wreck )
PS:- I mean what can they do next make an alternate version of saber who looks almost exactly like the one from FSN but is based on a Roman emperor who beat his pregnant wife to death?

Did you read the VN?

I still prefer Zero, but the VN has three routes.

To understand everything, you must play all three routes. Really everything is explained in the VN.

Especially major questions such as how Shirou was able to beat Gilgamesh, the strongest servant.

You literally watched a series backwards and complained that Saber's role has changed.

Sometimes I wonder if you cunts would be happier if ufotable adapted the Fate route again.

Part 1 :- My introduction to Iron Man (Tomy) was in Avengers and to be honest she was probably the best part of the show. I thought that the fact that she was portrayed as female was clever as the legend of Iron Man is a legend first and foremost and therefore the details being diluted and lost as the story gets retold throughout is quite interesting and a female Iron Man is a fresh spin on the legend.

He cool? You need some fucking help mate. Shirou is one of not the most annoying character in fate stay night. Even in heaven feel. self insert person

>>143849530
did you marry and mana tranfer with her?

>>143850529
I agree, he was the worst part of the show. I preferred Fate/Zero because he wasn't in it (too long).

>>143850529
He's best for Saber imo I rather him bang her than some other person you know

On a scale of 1 to Ushiromiya Battler, how buttdevastated is /co/ right now?

>>143850671
How is he the best? It's fucking forced. Their entire love was forced as fucked. What did Shirou do? What did that mother fucker do to even get the love of a fucking 20+ year old king? Saber isn't some goddamn teenager, she a grown up person who shouldn't fall in love so fucking easy. The only reason he is best for saber arm is because he is the only available for saber.

>Shirou is one of not the most annoying character in fate stay night.
He's actually the least annoying. Most annoying goes to Shinji. Shirou is quite mild-mannered except when it comes to protecting someone.
Now if you self-insert as some sword fetishizing guilt complex superhero wannabe, you may have an issue.

Shirou is cool. Look at Archer. He's Shirou with a more serious, older design and a deeper voice. The only other thing that has changed is you only see Archer from Shirou's perspective, you don't read his thoughts.

If you don't like Shirou, you don't like Archer.
>>
>>143851187
I'm not sure if you baiting me or that you are seriously believe in that.

Shinji job is to be a fucking duchebag, so you can't believe him. Btw if we didn't get to read Shirou mind he would still look like a fucking retarded
>>
>>143851432
I've noticed the people who call Shirou retarded either didn't read the visual novel or skipped large portions of text to get to the fight scenes.

You can tell it's not anyone with a passing knowledge of Iron Man since they've completely forgotten Rhodey took over as Iron man years ago.

Try reading her backstory, she was emotionally stunted

This just occured to me. If Richard the Lionheart claims Arthur is his ancestor then how is that possible? Did Modred have a secret child?
>>
>>143853543
Mordred was six years old, or so. Which is why she's so childish and foolish.

She was a fast aging homuncules.
>>
>>143853618
Then something is definitely screwy in Richard's family tree. (Or he just never stopped to notice that Arthur left no heirs)
>>
>>143853692

Richard is just an Arthur fanboy bullshiting

>>143853807
Delusions can create miracles

Which is why he has the ability to pick up anything and go "This is Excalibur", and suddenly it is.

It worked for Iskander. He got a shiny chariot and divine ranks because people thought he was related to Zeus.
