While they might be superfans I find it a bit hard to believe because in the convo I'm thinking of they're talking pretty seriously about the situation they're in and peppering in what is basically dorky weebtalk about fictional Ultimates wouldn't quite make any sense there.

Also holy shit I agree with you on the second point. The story taking a big hit in V3 is one of its big flaws and chapter 5 illustrates that point perfectly.

While I don't agree on either point, I do admit that I have something of a bias since the idea of V3 inadvertently hinting at underground snuff rings that are trying to ride the coattails of THH being streamed to the world and providing a product/service to the remaining despair obsessed luantics out there is really cool as a concept to me. There's a non-zero amount of interpreting the open question of the ending to facilitate this headcanon I have but I believe even without that there's more than enough room for doubt as to whether Hope's Peak is or isn't fictional.

Good talk. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
