white-hawk – you're the only one

divinesong said: I doubt anyone will be shedding any tears for those sorts of criminals though.

this is true and tbf they are explicitly given a moment before Guts kills them when they’re like “cool now we can blackmail Griffith ho ho ho we’re so awful” so Guts and Griffith look less dickish for casually betraying and killing them. But that always kind of annoyed me lol. They could’ve been Robin Hoodish criminals with hearts of gold and they still would’ve been killed there, so functionally it doesn’t make any difference. Making them extra off-putting conniving assholes just feels like a cheap way of keeping the audience on Guts’ side. It’s a minor complaint, but still.

feelings for each other without them being like this. But, c’mon,
honestly. I think he doesn’t believe this himself. }}

I want to find this interview now. I mean to be fair PR-wise I don’t think Miura would admit it was gay even if he was 100% purposeful in laying the overtones on, so a public denial doesn’t really mean much to me and my interpretation lol.
