>wish they drew Sylvie more often
Yeah, their style feels to me sorta like EE coming home, in a way, since the EE style's always been some kind of Western animu, so it just makes sense for the charas to look just straight up Japanese
>wish Sylvie was in better hands
Billionaires not buying EE to get competent writing on it is them failing their last test.
In a way, Musk being rich enough to hire a gaggle of pros to polish his Path of Exile 2 chara into a razor sharp obsidian missile (before crashing it into a tutorial boss) inspires me.
I'm kinda half-serious here, though: Renaissance-time art was funded by insanely rich people with good taste. Those types seem to have been replaced by billionaires retweeting racist wojak memes
>fan unfavorite
Ouch
>I hope he knows
I'm sure he does!
Blaber himself acknowledged that Sylvie to fans was either a blah non-entity or an outright hyperfixation, so even he's noticed the stans. I'm confident Maher is aware of Sylviemania to some degree

It's pretty much certain that the root of Sylvie's unpopularity is in the writing for him.
Desu, it's not even that it's bad, lots of characters get followings despite bad writing (I'm sure you're aware of anime), it's that it's almost contemptuous of the notion of taking him seriously. I could be wrong, though: they sure took Mera seriously, and she's in a similar boat: aesthetically inspiring, but substantially unstimulating.
Sylvie, his narrative has little to bite onto without a lot of headcanon work.

A big issue for me is, like Amity, they kinda wasted the chance to make him a charismatic outsider dude that you want to see thaw his barriers then hang with the main cast by skipping through Sylvie's "find the Avatar to restore my honor" tsunphase and getting right to dere and joining the gaang at the Western Air Temple.
Part of my motivation for making Sylvie a bad guy is to give him a chance to be a character with appeal of his own, not defined by Molly and Gio
