bort once told me why final fantasy was much cooler than advent children and I actually sat back and said oh man fuck that's true.
in advent children cloud blocks a bullet with his sunglasses while riding down a motorway and it makes you squirm or really hope anyone who is seeing you watch this hears you say a little too loudly "HOW IRONICLY FUNNY"
in ff7 sephiroth has killed everyone, is standing in front of a reactor, and Cloud, who has seen his childhood friend basically DIE outside and is horribly wounded, stabs Sephy @_@ in the back, and pushes him into a reactor.
one of these scenes is stupid flip around shit, the other is honestly hardcore as fuck and I wish more people would realize the idea of grizzled guys and gals who just FIGHT (see, oldboy hammer scene) are much much cooler than any HIIII *jumps through the air throws a mask dodge bullet lands with smirk*
