Explain to me why Hornet isn't the perfect feMC outside of her needing to have bigger tits and ass.

I really, really prefer silent protagonists desu. Hornet is a good character, yes, but her dialogue is bonedry. The personality contained within her sprites, animations, and gasps and screams is more than enough. Silksong's art is so good, in fact, that I think they could have culled 50% of all words and lost nothing.

I like it, she's royalty and speaks with the proper decorum for her station but she's pretty humble at the same time. She's never overbearing, and her interactions with the other characters give a lot of narrative weight to the game and the characters in it as opposed to the knight who was just silently completing everyone's shopping lists without a word

We've already seen what hornet looks like as a small child. She was tiny with short horns. Stop projecting your pedo head canon.
Hornet has the body of an adult bug and bugs have been shown to have a large variety of height ranges.

This is the main issue with having a pre-written MC without dialogue choices. Silksong delights in killing the player on their first playthrough. This would be fine, except Hornet and other NPCs keep harping on about her skill, her bearing, her aspect, her fierceness, only for her to immediately get squashed by falling boulders, consumed by worms and frogs, impaled, jailed, burnt to the crisp, frozen, parried like a casual, or ground to mince by gigantic grinding blocks. It's very incongruous. It is my opinion that Hornet should only begin talking big after the player has beaten the game once. On the first playthrough, her dialogue should reflect how brutal the first climb through Pharloom is.

True, but even that is too certain for a player controlled character. Lace should only say that line if the player died 20 times or more, I think. There's always a conflict between player and character when the MC is fixed, but in Silksong's dialogue it feels particularly severe.

I was hoping we'd find the remains of an ancient foundry in the depths of the Underworks. Or that the pyromaniacs in Wisp Thicket would be the vestige of that old civilization. Or that they'd be a single chamber containing the architecture and history of the original citadel, somewhere in the Choral Chambers.

Girlbosses are inherently tied to male characters. In that they exist to send the message that girls can do whatever men can do. That is not to say that all girls doing traditionally masculine things are girl bosses. But when the writers highlight that she, a girl, is keeping up with or surpassing the boys, then she's a girlboss.

An example of this would be Egwene from Wheel of Time. I doubt you know anything about Wheel of Time, so that example is probably lost on you.

I think Act 3 is thematically really uninteresting. Pharloom is already a dystopia when we arrive, it hardly becomes more interesting or contrasted when covered in black shit. I think you're underestimating the power of that song during that sequence. It matches the rhythm of the platforming and the thrill of the climb immensely. Endorphin-wise, it's the highest point of the game. I stand by the fact that it should've been reserved for the ending. After the escape Act 3 felt disappointing. IMO the Abyss escape sequence is more interesting and exciting that 95% of the bosses in this game, or any other.

Nope. Just about all of it is justified. The people around her making very foolish decisions and being too stubborn to see their folly. For the stuff that that's arguably not justified, it can be excused as the mistakes made by a girl being young and inexperienced and just coming into her power.

I thought she was interesting. Her chapters always provided a perspective into the institutions of power that you wouldn't normally have from a male perspective. Since Rand and other men are often excluded from female business. So Egwene chapters were a view into what is going on behind the walls that exclude men.

No she's not.
You know how troons love to overreach and imply that every little thing they love is trans? Well /v/ loves doing the same but on the other end of the spectrum, as soon as they love something they'll invent completely nonsensical explanations that it's somehow secretly based and redpilled.

Hornet had ZERO reason to kill the Green Prince. But she did anyway.
And what does she say after witnessing the great tragedy of his story? She says, "lmao what a weirdo"

Let's talk about how cringe this whole plot point with the Green Prince really is.
So he married a man, and every member of his kingdom not just thought it was normal, but celebrated it? In this medieval-esque society? Yeah, sure.
The premise of "faggot utopia gets tragically colonized by 'evil' religious bugs" makes me want to throw up.
I'm just happy this whole thing was optional.

Just because it was frowned upon in human Medieval societies doesn’t mean it has to be frowned upon in non-human societies, since it’s a different social system entirely.

Gay people can be antagonists. There’s nothing that says they’re above scrutiny.

Just learned there's a tool that has 3 different variants but getting one variant locks you out of the others for the entire playthrough and the variants are somewhat significant in their differences

Did the same, but mainly because it's faster to ignore him instead of wasting a key.
I'll probably free him on my steel soul run though just because Seth is a bitch.

There's no concern for that because my Horny does not fall for the snigga's lame ploy. I refuse to believe that a millennia old demigod would be the lapdog for most suspicious fuckers in Pharloom.

Somehow I pegged this guy as gay the second I strummed my needolin after freeing him from his cell and saw him singing about his lost love. Not even sure how I did it because he didn't specify a gender or act or sound faggy, which is annoying because a depressed prince who dailed to save his kingdom and his gearhead tomboy princess waifu would have been much cooler and far more tragic than gay pandering.

She's incredibly funny in all of her scenes, but is absolute fucking trash in gameplay. Both in VI and Quest.

Hollow Knight didn't have any reason to have a NG+ especially when they added godhome to let you challenge all of the bosses again.

Silksong gives you access to several crests that change you moveset and a lot of subweapons. It has plenty of reason to have a NG+ so people can replay the game with different crest and tool setups from the beginning

Game letting you start with all crests and tools would be pretty cool, if they want to keep progression intact they could just make it so that movement abilities have to be recollected.
