(Sorry everyone for my bad english )
I was writing a message to this topic:
But the message was so long that I decide to make a topic!
Sorry If I made some mistakes while I explain what I think
I actually happy that Kim Wu have that āsomehow anoying personalityā in Killer Instinct Season 3!
My reasons for saying this:
-
It shows that Kim Wu is not a perfect human:
I mean, I see many times people saying things like:
"Kim Wu is āThe Chosen Oneā, Kim Wu is beautiful, strong, cute, powerful, perfect, badass, etc, etcā¦"
Well, thatās fine for me, It shows that people love her as a character! Thatās great!
But, remember that she still a character in Killer Instinct! She canāt be a overpower character like "Perfect, Extreme Powerful, Final Hope of the Whole Galaxy, The Only Light of the Universe, Reincarnation of a Goddess, etcā¦"
Calm down, guys!
If Kim Wu was so overpower that can defeat Gargos with only one single punch in the story, then there will not be any story left to tell! What about Jago? TJ Combo? Orchid? They making a plan for defeat both Gargos and UltraTech, remember? They also are part of the story! They also will help defeat Gargos somehow!
Even with her story saying that she is āThe Chosen Oneā, she still another great character in the cast of KI just like Jago, Orchid, TJ Combo or Maya!
Also, people start saying that Kim Wu is more powerful than Jago or anyone in the game for no reason:
"Kim Wu donāt need do train because she is "The Chosen One"
"Jago training Kim Wu? No! Is Kim Wu that should train Jago because she is more powerful!"
"Jago is a trash compared to Kim Wu because she is the āThe Chosen Oneā while he is nothing!
"Kim Wu possessed by Omen? No! Kim Wu is so perfect and beautiful that Omen cannot even possess her!"
Etc, etcā¦
Why saying things like that? (I donāt know if was those exactle words, but it was something like that)
Jago have trained his whole life, his whole life! And just because he is is not āThe Chosen Oneā, Kim Wu is more powerful than him and he is just a trash? Because that what looks like saying things like that!
Kim Wu is also a Designer Student, so Jago most probably have much training than her. In my opinion, Jago is even more powerful than Kim Wu. I know that she is āThe Chosen Oneā while Jago, wellā¦ Also thought he was a āChosen Oneā in the Killer Instinct Tournament, but was just tricked by Gargosā¦ But there is not need for saying that Jago is a trash just to make Kim Wu look more powerful! In fact, with her personality, if she was corrupted by Omen and transformed into a āShadow Kim Wuā, I doubt if she will be able to āfreeā herself without anyone helpā¦
So, now that we know her personality, we also know that Kim Wu is not āperfectā, she is a āhumanā like everyone else in the cast! (Yeah, I know not everyone in the game is āhumanā, but I saying this in the way of āeveryone make mistakes sometimes in the lifeā )
She is not a Overpower Character! If she was, then the story will have the same problem as KI2:
In KI2, if we consider the story, Kim Wu was very powerful and her fate was: Protect her village and destroy Gargos
Gargos came back, so defeating him was "Kim Wuās Ultimate Mission"
So, she, with all her courage and brave, go in a adventure to save the world.
She defeat many fighters and show powerful techniques.
And in the final batlle, in her Ultimate Mission to finally destroy Gargos, like her ancestors many years agoā¦ She simply kill Spinal and get back to her village.
You know why this happen? Its simples!
Her mission was THE SAME as half of the cast: Destroy Gargos
Jago: He want to destroy Gargos for revenge
Orchid: She want to destroy Gargos to go back to her time and also destroy UltraTech
TJ Combo: He want to destroy Gargos to go back to his time
Glacius: He want to destroy Gargos to go back to his time and his planet
Tusk: His people was killed by the war of Eyedol and Gargos. Want to destroy Gargos for revenge
Maya: Her people help defeat Eyedol and Gargos in the past. Want to destroy Gargos to save the world
Kim Wi: Descedent of the heroes that defeated Eyedol and Gargos in the past. Want to destroy Gargos because that was her ultimate mission
So, EVERYONE wanted Gargos dead!
KI2 introduce us Kim Wu as the ancestor of the heroes of the past. So, if there is someone that should defeat Gargos, is Kim Wu herself.
But then there is a problem: What about Jago and Orchid? They are the protagonists of KI that destroy both Fulgore and Eyedol in KI1. And we also have Tusk, and Maya!
āOh-Oh! What we do now?ā
āForget about this āThe Chosen One to defeat Gargosā and make everyone want to destroy Gargos, and then we make some whatever reason for themā
"Okay!"
Yes, It looks like that they wanted to make Kim Wu the protagonist of KI2, but they forget that Jago and Orchid was still in the game! Then, they realised too late this little detail and try to fix that by making all the characters at least ādo somethingā in the story
Jago: Destroy Fulgore and with the help of Orchid, defeat Gargos
Orchid: Defeat Gargos with the help of Jago
Maya: Tusk defeat her. Later, they married
Tusk: Defeat Maya. Later, is defeated by TJ Combo
Kim Wu: Destroy Spinal and get back to her village
So, what I want to say is: If Kim Wu is āperfect, powerful, goddess, etc, etcā, the story could probably end with Kim Wu defeating some other random character while Jago and Orchid (Which are the protagonists of the story) defeat Gargos. Then will make look like that this āOverpowered powerful power that allow Kim Wu to defeat anyone with one hitā was a lie or simply useless!
Now, back to the topic: -
Diferents personalities
As some people here already said, Maya and Orchid (And maybe even Hisako? ARIA?) are already āserious and badassā, so if Kim Wu was also a serious and badass character, almost all female characters in KI will have the same personality -
Kim Wu: Better character developing?
Think about: In her trailer, she talks like she fell superior and powerful than anyone just because āshe have a freakin dragonā and is "The Chosen One"
āSix months ago, if you told me fate decreed Iād be saving the world, Iād have laughed in your face and given fate the middle finger."
That most probably means that in the past, Kim Wu see this whole thing of āSave the world from a Demonā as a stupid thing
What I think about this: In the past, she doesnāt care about anything, "S-crew the world, the world donāt make anything for me, why should I save it now?"
"But here I am: martial artist, design student, and now, demon a-ss-kicker."
But now she seems to accepted her fate and decide to save the world, but she still keep that selfish personality, feeling superior to the others as we see in the trailerā¦
"That dragon? Itās mine. It choose ME."
Lol, she seem to say like: "Oh, you want to be like me, right? But you never will because I was chosen, not you! Hahaha!"
I think that her own personality will cause problems to her, and then, she will realise than just because she is āThe Chosen Oneā, this doensāt mean that she is perfect, superior to everyone and can do everything alone
I think that in the story of Season 3, she will meet Jago and saying something like:
"I will destroy thatā¦ Whatās the name anyway? Oh yes, Gargos. I will destroy him alone because I am āThe Choose Oneā, only I can defeat him, I donāt need anyone help, I am most powerful than all of you, you all should go home, this is only for professionals like me"
And then she almost get killed by Gargos, but she is saved by Jago, then she apologise from what she says before and realized how she was wrong: She is not perfect, she need people to help her defeat Gargos. THEN after that, she transform into a complete diferent character in the story, maybe even knowing the āPower of Friendshipā (Or even maybe the āPower of Loveā with Jagoā¦ ) -
New Character: Shadow Kim Wu?
I thinking that Kim Wu will change her personality after āsomethingā happensā¦
What if somehow her own selfish personality make her transform into a Shadow Kim Wu, then she is saved by Jago? (After all, he was possessed in the past)
Example:
-Kim Wu alone decide to go after Gargos alone do defeat him
-Jago and the other try to tell her that she cannot defeat him alone
-Kim Wu tell Jago and the other that she can because she is āThe Chosen Oneā and superior to anyone
-Jago fell a little sad for her, while the other fell insulted for what she says
-Kim Wu finds Gargos
-Jago decide to go after Kim Wu
-Kim Wu try to defeat Gargos alone
-Kim Wu is defeated by Gargos
-Omen possess Kim Wu
-Kim Wu attack Jago and the others
-Kim Wu defeat almost everyone
-Jago successfully manages to make Kim Wu expel Omen of her soul by talking to her
-Omen flies again back to Gargos
-Kim Wu realize that she was being selfish and need the help of the others
-Kim Wu apologize from everything and decide do join the group
-Kim Wu now have a mature personality
Soā¦ āShadow Kim Wuā could exist and Jago could somehow save her, and then, Kim Wu transform into a complete another personā¦
"Origins are just where characters startā¦ not end"
Her origin (A Imature Personality) is where she start as a fighter, but she change later during the story, and in the end, she is a complete diferente person? Thatās what I think! -
Jago S2 Kim Wu?
So, as I say in the example, I think that her personality will cause problems, and if she is possessed by Omen, I think that Jago will be able to help herā¦ Perhaps this will make them work together and then in the endingā¦
LOL
Well, about what I think about Kim Wu:
I like her because I think that her personality somehow will make the story more rich and detailed than something like:
"Hello, this is the story of Season 3: There is a Demon named something like Gar-gos that is destroying the world. My name is Kim Wu, Iām āThe Chosen Oneā, Iām powerful and perfect, there its a corpotation called UltraTech that is afraid of this Gargos, there is a sorcerer that also afraid of him, and there is also a group of heroes that is making a plan to both defeat him and destroy that UltraTech. Iām āThe Chosen Oneā,so I have can defeat him while I texting in my facebook right now, wait a secondā¦ smash!ā¦ Done, he is dead, that sorcerer is dead and all this UltraTech exploded. That group of heroes was uselessā¦ I alone have more power than all of them combined. End of story, good night for everyone! #IAmTheChooseOne"
Character that are Extremely Overpowers (In the stories) and never fails never work so great, they need to have limits in order to have some ādramaā in the story , they need to have some weakness. I think that this is why Kim Wu was created like thisā¦ She thinking that she is more powerful than everyone, and this thinking will cause problems to her in the future.
That what I wanted to say!
Cāmon friends! Kim Wu being like this itās no the worst thing ever!
I have complete faith that IG/MS will be able to make a great story for Kim Wu after seeing those amazing backstories of the characters!
(Seriously, those backstories are making me fell the character so āaliveā. Now, everytime I listen to their OST, I keep thinking of their stories and imagining everythingā¦ )
Good bye for everyone and (Again) sorry for my bad english!
