This is the worst take I've seen on 4chan regarding Hopes.

The reason Edelgard is mentally reverts is because she's forced into her Hegemon form by Thales. It was the experimentation on her and implanting her with an artificial Crest of Flames that allows him to control her. She defaults back to thinking Thales is her Uncle Arundel and being a child because that's the age she was when she was abducted and experimented on.

Hopes' Edelgard differs from Houses' Edelgard because the former doesn't have Byleth to worry about. Edelgard is trying to buy time to see if Byleth, as a former mercenary yet also who's father is a former affiliate of the Church, can be trusted and persuaded to join her cause. Hopes' Edelgard perceives Shez as only a mercenary and an easy hire for her revolt.

Houses' Edelgard has to follow Byleth's monthly missions, which costs her Monica, Lonato, and the opportunity of surprise before the other students and the Church can get comfortable in Garreg Mach. Hopes' Edelgard is able to purge Adrestia of the Slithers and start her campaign because she's operating on her own time table, since she controls Emile.

Without Shez's support, she's unable to move nearly as fast as she does in Crimson Blaze, which is why she's eventually taken out by Thales and forced to transform. Without Shez's support and Edelgard losing her mind, both Ferdinand and Hubert are hunted down and killed by the Slithers. Edelgard was genuinely never going to win in either Houses or Hopes without Byleth or Shez because her Empire lacks Holy Relics. Sylvain's father has been SINGLE-HANDEDLY fighting back THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF SRENG because of his Crest and Relic. It doesn't matter how many peasant conscripts Edelgard brought, her Empire WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE.

Edelgard was and is a little girl trapped in that moment when she was abducted and violated, just as Dimitri was always that angry little boy who watched his father die.

Only Dimitri grew the fuck up.
