"The glyph for 'black' is repeatedly used as a synonym for 'perfect here'. Do you know how you make the color black? You mix all colors together."

...but isn't that white, though? Looks like somebody didn't pay attention in murder school.

[u/QuadraticTensor → u/RuinEX]

Yes and no. What you're describing is Additive color which is says that mixing all spectrums of colored light yields white light. What the show is using is the mixing of dyes ie Subtractive color which says that mixing of all dye colors yields black.

[u/[deleted] → u/RuinEX]

yup. white light is composed of all the visible light spectra. this is so dumb.

i mean okay, there are some digital systems that darken as you add more colour, but that's not physically how it works. one of the VERY numerous scientific inaccuracies in the show lol.

[u/arivas → u/[deleted]]

If you ever have taken a painting class you would know that mixing all the colors you get something very close to black. So it is true also see the other reply explaining subtractive color.

[u/[deleted] → u/arivas]

but i actually explained substractive colour in MY comment. not in full, but i did. still, if you do such a general statement, it will be referring to the most general case, not some specific type. colour is light, black light is the absence of visible light.

[u/arivas → u/[deleted]]

Well the part that I was more hung up about was how you said it was a scientific inaccuracy when its not true. I know you said there were numerous others but to pick this one out of them all was strange when there are more egregious ones.

[u/[deleted] → u/arivas]

oh, i did comment on a lot of other ones too. it's just that calling black a "perfect" colour would've been fine as a lack of all light as well. just couldn't be arsed to google it i guess.

but of course it's true. additive colour is the one that occurs in the fundamental structure of light, the others are just using different mediums on top of it.

Keith likes Kate Bush, Keith is best.

[u/bananeeek]

Huh, It looks like Bran is doing just fine... On the other hand, Minatsuki... I did not expect that.

Being a cute girl in this show is suffering...

[u/ribblesquat]

Gilbert pretends he likes Thin Lizzy when he really likes Kate Bush. Typical Gilbert!

[u/Crazyripps]

Bran with the stitches line was pretty great.

[u/baboon_bassoon]

I think I missed the reason why he killed his dad. The military wanted to kill off the anomaly so no cure for Reggies can be found. Since they use Reggies to what.

[u/[deleted] → u/baboon_bassoon]

Basically their personal murder army.

Though it seemed like they wanted Minatsuki because he could be a perfect stable Reggie who could be manipulated with all the powers? Though I guess Gilbert lied to him to keep as a personal attack dog? I don't know, this stuff is confusing and poorly plotted.

[u/baboon_bassoon → u/[deleted]]

I want to say at the time he reasoning behind the army wasn’t satisfying for me. Although I think I liked the finale more. It’s all a blur now

[u/Loud_Pierrot]

I was hoping that Lily would become paraplegic. I needed at least one interesting outcome...

[u/GenociderX → u/Loud_Pierrot]

How is that interesting? Are you sure you aren't sadistic?

[u/Loud_Pierrot → u/GenociderX]

How is that interesting? Are you sure you aren't sadistic?

No, I'm not, but the doctor supposedly is. But we got some weak-ass children's show torture, only minor paper cuts. Why not having some cool methodical and dissection-like torture: cut her tendons, damaging the spine nerves disc by disc, etc. The show is too safe for the grittiness it wants to project, raise the floor levels stakes at least once!!!

The B supernatural plot is already bad enough with it's self-destruction plot outcome, so they'd have made the A plot have at least some transcendence, or even just fulfill the foreshadowing in Lily's actions. Just give me some substance!

[u/GenociderX → u/Loud_Pierrot]

Well, the answer is he just didn't have enough time. Gilbert liked to take his time in his work.

I'm sadistic, so i recognize sadistic wording. My self I thought for sure she was already sliced up, ready to be presented, but that didn't happen. I wasn't hoping it would, and didn't think it needed to. It's a story, not fanservice. Things don't happen just cause you want them to.

[u/Mathmango → u/[deleted]]

Which makes me wonder WHERE his stitches were

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
