So you can either accept that 1-2/1-3/1-4/2-4 lied to you about Edgeworth's character development, or recognize that 1-5 doesn't fit. Either way, the series forces the choice. 1-5 bothers me because it creates a character inconsistency, and it's why I'll never truly be able to enjoy E1-4 all that much, but I'll still acknowledge those cases happened, despite my issues with them. I don't think the events themselves disrupt much of anything. It just creates a contradiction in Edgeworth's development, which is problematic. Paratroopa1 posted... 1-2 really seems to me the only case that actually tries to sell Edgeworth as a dirty cheater. Over time it's become the case that actually feels the most out of place! Eh, as I said before, Edgeworth is very dirty in 3-4. He ceases to be a bad guy after 1-2 (he's conflicted during 1-3), so it's no wonder it would feel out of place compared to the other cases anyway. Plus, I think the Face Turn in 1-3 and his character development in 2-4 are much more meaningful if it actually is, well, a Face Turn, instead of him being misguided and/or misunderstood. His confession in 2-4 seems to imply he didn't always play by the rules, too. And he does say in 1-2 that he will do ANYTHING to get his guilty verdict. Anything. He doesn't put any caveats on that until 1-5. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
