Well, let me put it this way.

People who enjoiys a good storiy will thinik it's the beist thinig since sliceid briead, maybe even since Betty White. (Bless her sweet soul, RIP.)

People who only waints to faip to virtuial prettiy faceis will thinik it's purigatory.

I hope that answers your question.

You're judging the book by its cover and still going against what you said about people not showing up. Since I was little I was taught that real friends are few and I didn't go out into the world talking about who I am, what I like, about my past and my plans, among other things because trust, nowadays, is one of the '' coins '' more valuable. But even though I have this side of not showing myself to people, I don't go around attacking or bullying others like Bella did, no matter your past, you should never do anything bad to someone else if they didn't deserve it.

You have to understand that without that extreme side of bella, the plot would be very simple and as a graphic novel would lose much emphasis on the personality of the characters, that their conflictive side is what it is, is what will give more weight to the plot when it shows its kind side, and that's what a good story is about, to build interesting characters with a magnetic interest, that's what makes bella special.

Yeah not so much. That is one way to inject tension into the story, but it's hardly necessary. All that is required is to make her interesting, and there are many ways to so do. However, there is nothing inherently wrong with the author's approach. It will polarize people for and against, and that may well be Ocean's goal. Extremism is a choice, not a necessity. It's his choice and I support his right to structure his characters as he chooses, but don't defend it as necessary.

Extremism is a choice, eh ?...sure, when it comes to a writer, for a character of his own making.

Bella...yeah, her character seems more like...of an extreme kind, that can make such decisions without any remorse, but that is just not true, we've learned that from the last update.

She is just a little girl who is too scared to come out of her blanket because the power is out for a little longer, could've seen a couple of ghosts in the closet, that would make her time hiding in the blanket even more tense. Of course this little girl can defend herself, a few scratches here and there, imprecise ones at that, whenever something comes in contact with her during this dark period while waiting for the lights to come.

See...she is noting SPECIAL but a scaredy-cat that needs the right kind of petting. Calling it extremism, I mean COME ON and other fancy words will just make my language...a little....extreme...cold...If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna watch...Attack On Titan.

It can't even be called a war, it's a one-sided game with the total domination of baby Bella :giggle:

majority does not mean they are right, if the word is might makes right then Sasha rules if it does not... she will still rule my heart!

I see that warscared has started sharing whatever he is smoking with other users as well


And marking Bella's actions as extreme doesn't make sense cause her vandalising the Holgerson's car and stealing that heirloom from them obviously has clear reasons behind it , the old fart and that pencil dick son of his deserve what's coming to them , hopefully the plan actually works out

Bella's prank on Nami though was uncalled for and her hostility towards Mila has some history which Mila herself indicated

If we want to label something as extreme how about we point out what Nadia and Zara did for simply loosing a game of basketball lol
