Building a better Alphinaud

[CrownySuccubus]

How convenient that you left out both Eulmore and Garlemald.They've turned 4 unique nation states into cooker cutter democracies over the course of Season 1. Once would've been tolerable, twice would've been questionable, but this? And of what little other monarchies or unique systems remain, half of them have had any intrigue and grit stripped from them or were otherwise left behind in regions of the world like the far east that we won't be visiting again any time soon.

This argument is even further ridiculous, because the Scions had NOTHING to do with either of them becoming republics. In Eulmore, they didn't tell the people to elect a new Mayor; the citizens did that on their own. In the case of Garlemald, the Scions did literally NOTHING. They didn't kill the dictator, they didn't kill the royal family, and they didn't decide not to form a new monarchy. The people did that all on their own. Hell, even in the case of Gyr Abania, blaming the Scions makes no sense because the first question Lyse asked was if anybody else wanted the throne, and all of them said no.

The fact that you continuously blame the Scions for this makes it pretty clear that your argument here isn't to actually bring up legitimate issues. Your goal is to add another reason to "hate" the Scions for no reason in particular, and it doesn't matter how far you need to reach to do it.

Not everything has to be so cookie cutter and samey.

Once again:

"Another monarchy - vArIeTy!"

"Democracies - sAmEy!"
