Someone mentioned this earlier, I forget who, but isn't Ella's eyes being able to see the underlying structure of people and how compatible they are with the apostles an example of the Memory trait?
The question is why would that be an example of the Memory trait in the first place. We don't know the mechanics of the ability and we can't map it to anything that MC can do with his Memory powers.
This ability Ella has, is very similar to another that all powerful monsters seem to have, which is to recognize Superhuman lineages. For monsters this seems to me like a sense that monster bodies have, similar to smell, not an ability. Transforming your body to have additional senses is strictly a Body power. I'd need someone to make a really good case for the memory angle before I accept it.
when i would normaly agree, her name is not the only similarity at all.
A lot of references,like daemon, witch, birthing monster, dark magic. Valravn call her a daemon witch, that lies like she breathe.
She also seduce, an also her usage of ritual and she's linked to dark art like her alter ego.
Mc say about Aglaecwiff that she look like a beautiful woman when in the film, she's a monster and take the form of a beautiful women, also both live in a cave, seduced Beowulf to impregnate her through a pact to replace a lost son like mc can too ,the pact is also similar, Aglaecwiff ask for a son in exchange for the ones dead because of Ella, when the other ask for a son after losing one and promised in exchange to make Beowulf a rich and powerfull king ( and in game we can ask for power and skill), and Valravn said about that pact beeing dangerous and the fruit of that pact "one day come for thee", and Beowulf have to kill the fruit of that pact too, a gold-skinned male who took the form of a dragon.
She's also strongly linked to dark magic just like Aglaecwiff,and of course her name ( Grendel's mother is introduced in lines 1258b to 1259a as: "Grendles modor/ides, aglæcwif". ) ,
( Grendel's mother was an 'aglæc-wif', 'a female warrior' [...] in line 1519 where she is called merewif, defined simply as 'water-woman',
That Change about her just now is odd so personnaly i dont rule out totaly that she could be 10th.
even if like i said 3th is more likely given the shapeshifting part of both her and her son , on that we agree and you definitly have something with the inspiration of chosen , ( Aglaecwiff would be germanic then and it's funy because Beowulf who is her ennemy is danish, when origins of Valravn are also there and he's clearly hostile to her ^^)
Not sure, Tanos is obviously linked to mc because mc'dad take him in Tanos clinic during the time Syla,and i had a little theory about him responsible for Syla not beeing pur enough and losin her place as a chosen but why ignoring mc that much if he was so important for him?
I agree, for all intents and purposes, these characters who carry the exact same names, are (conceptually at least) the same that can be found in folklore/religion.
Eisheth has similar attributes. She carries the same surname and title, and her title can explain some of the design choices.
Princess of
Qlippoth could be tied to her ability to create domains.
Mother of Estries, Estries being Vampires, could be tied to her creating the line of the the pink demon monsters, especially if they turn out to be called Estries.
However, the link to the Twins and Strength Eaters.. Aglaecwif mentions them in passing and she doesn't seem to subscribe to the idea. Instead she seems like following the Outer Twins. If her water affinity was important to the story, she lost a good chance to showcase it.
Yeah I was surprised people were like "Why MC get ass kicked"? And Im like....that's how all his fights go. He tanks their offense and learns how they fight and then forms a counter-attack. Just let WW cook
I can sympathize with people who disliked MC's performance for a couple of reasons.
1. This has been the loss with the most consequences. Normally, when MC loses, we get a deadend scene and we just pick the right option to continue. This time, Twins were abducted and infected.
2. People think about it based on certain expectations that the game has created and miss the context.
3. While MC's performance was great, he still lost and it doesn't feel good, especially when you expect MC to win most of his fights. Also he barely managed to injure Devana so the SIN party won by a large margin.
4. Considering how "angry" people are at Tanos for the Amber scene, it makes sense that they will also be "angry" at MC for letting it happen in the first place.
