I don't even care about the ending or the final battles anymore...
Griffith said:Actually, on the contrary, I couldn't really care less about the individual God Hand or their backgrounds (and SK and Zodd are already pretty solidly established characters, we already know them well, specifics aside). They're cool and serve an important function in the story, but that's also the extent to which I care about them. If we get extensive, relevant backgrounds on them down the line, great, I'll enjoy that and care more, but I won't be disappointed if we don't and they just are what they are. I understand the curiosity about them, but not that sort of investment at the expense of much richer characters.

Crimson said:The best thing about Miura is, he's an artist first of all. Meaning, the most important story beats of Berserk almost never have ANY dialogue at all. They're just spreads of his artwork.
Crimson said:So if we ever DO get full on backstories, it'll be just as that; no words and artwork merely alluding to bits and pieces.
Crimson said:He won't hammer it into us, so even the backstories themselves will be vague enough to be both satisfying for those who want to actually know and not disappointing for anyone who has already firmly latched onto their own headcanons.
Aazealh said:That's just not true. Some scenes are wordless to reinforce the dramatic effect of the artwork, of course, but there's also many key moments that feature dialogue. In fact most deep misunderstandings about Berserk arise because people don't pay enough attention to the dialogue and/or rely on bad translations.
I really doubt that.
Hahaha, sorry but I have to disagree again here. Countless people's theories have been proven 100% wrong over the years as the story developed. That's just how it is, too. Some things aren't meant to be expounded on and some are, and when they are it can be very detailed.
Crimson said:Ah, I should reiterate I meant the vague backstories would be similar to how Ganishka's was shown. It did have dialogue, but it was just a few pages to essentially just get a 'gist' without having to dedicate a full volume and the like or show absolutely *everything*.
Crimson said:Also, I feel the most story-punching moments are almost always just spreads vs words, but you're right, Miura does utilize both appropriately when they are needed.
Crimson said:I personally wouldn't get upset or anything of the sort if I was proven 100% incorrect, but I'm probably in the minority on that.
