Edelgard has little to no character arc in Scarlet Blaze

Lets be honest here does anyone remember Edelgard having any big heroic moments in Scarlet Blaze no well you are correct in not remembering any heroic or any character growth and even if there is it is barely noticeable in comparison to Dimitri and Claude in their own routes in Three Hopes. What could have been a heroic moment for Edelgard was stolen away by Rhea which is good for Rhea by the way.

The Black Eagles have way more development than Edelgard does for example Ferdinand essentially carried the emotional weight of the route, Dorothea explains why she is fighting despite hating to fight, Jeritza is shown more character and Shez has growth.

Scarlet Blaze is just another Crimson Flower as in a rushed and incomplete mess I mean seriously Edelgard has little to no character development and has no heroic moments in her own route and it was given to Rhea.

I would like to say thank you to @faerytells on twitter and PK Gaming on twitter and yes Crimson Flower is a rushed and incomplete mess of a route that is poorly written and Scarlet Blaze is just more polished CF and also yes IS are the biggest antis of Edelgard and she deserves to be hate

Even Edelgard fans know that Crimson Flower is poorly written

Edelgard fans are known for there extreme cultist views on Edelgard but even many of them know and accept that Crimson Flower is poorly written for example flaminarc and Raxistachio accept that Crimson Flower is poorly written.

In my opinion CF should not exist all of the resources could of went into making VW unique and focus more on Claude and maybe some more lore reveals.

Crimson Flower is a Poorly written route

Crimson Flower is a poorly written route which is both due to how rushed and incomplete the route is. The biggest issue with the route is that there is no closure at all TWSITD are just off screened despite the route seemingly building up a confrontation with them but just ends on Rhea.

Rhea just went wacko mode way to easily in CF to the point that it seemingly becomes a 180 on Rhea's character and Rhea is surprisingly the only good thing in that route.

The Black Eagles have such a small impact in the story that it's baffling why they are even there they are easily recognised as yes men since they don't argue with Edelgard in the story they don't challenge her.

Everything is easy for Edelgard in CF all the enemies fall like dominos and both nations are just minor obstacles to get to the end of the story. There is also no intrigue in the story it's just point A to point B to C the route.

Edelgard is made incompetent since she has made no progress in the war no decisive battles have been made especially since the alliance feigned neutrality and Edelgard had more than enough time to take down the Kingdom even without the overealiance of TWSITD.

Edelgard never gets confronted about her terrorist activities in White Cloud instead it's just glossed over even though if I was Byleth I would want some answers as to why she was complicit in Jeralt's death.

When you play through the route you don't feel any passion behind it instead it just feels tacted on whilst in comparison to AM and VW which have there own writing problems at least they have passion behind them and VW is a copy but better than SS.

With every year that passes Crimson Flower is viewed more as poorly written than well written since it has far too many issues to even being considered well written. There are so many people that see CF as poorly written and it only keeps on growing.

Poll: The Quality of Crimson Flowers Writing

How Edelgard is so unlikable and why she is a failure

At this point post Three Houses launch everyone with a brain recognises that Edelgard is nothing but a villain and a failure as a character. Despite what the Edelcultists say about Edelgard being the most popular character from Three Houses using her CYL "win" as evidence it was only because of bots that she managed to "win" but the factual truth is she is the most hated character in not only Three Houses but in the entirety of Fire Emblem history I mean she has single handedly created the worst discourse in FE history and it's her only legacy now which is just pathetic.

Now then onto what makes Edelgard very unlikable she started a pointless war in Houses and Hopes despite in Hopes having every opportunity to change Fodlan peacefully, lies about the Church, history and the missiles all to declare a pointless war against the Church, was wrong about the Church, commits genocide against a near extinct species of Dragon people, specist against Nabeteans, racist towards Petra and Brigid, works with the Agathians who are basically dubstep facists who have shown chaos, complicit in Jeralt's murder then wines and makes fun of Byleth who is in mourning, involved in Remire incident, force conscription and forced demonic beast transformation on ordinary citizens, arrogant to a fault, a horrible and incompetent leader, her reforms lead to nothing but another and same status quo, mocks Dimitri with King of Delusion, burns Bernie alive for little gain, sacrifices her citizens to be meat shields, Edelcultists and lastly kills countless people with no remorse.

Now onto Edelgard being a failure her route is the worst in houses hich has only one cutscene, it's the shortest route, all recruitable units have the worst character development and endings, has the worst dialogue in all of FE history, weaker than Claude and Dimitri, incompetent without the guidance of Byleth, no u, ideals and reforms just lead right back to the status quo so no matter the route Edelgard always loses, has the worst endings, no character development besides from one which is from Azure Gleam in the second half, fails at diplomacy loses to Dimitri in that scene, most hated character in FE and lastly has the emotions and attitude of a sociopath and physcopath put together.

In my opinion Edelgard was better of still locked up underneath Enbarr heck replace Edelgard with Kronya at least with Kronya she has a personality.

Dimitri is more popular than Edelgard

Despite what Edelcultists believe Dimitri is in fact more popular than Edelgard for example he has way more artwork and likes than Edelgard way more views and positive videos of him and he is much easier to like than Edelgard.

Edelgard is racist towards Petra

On the the subject on is Edelgard racist towards Petra and the answer is yes which is linked towards Edelgard's colonialism of Brigid (Edelgard could easily just give Brigid independence once in power but she doesn't). Edelgard holds Brigid's independence over Petra's aid in the war in Three Hopes and Brigid won't be free until Edelgard wins the war (or Petra leaves which she should). Petra may tell Edelgard she thinks she is her equal but how can she present herself as anything less.

Edelgard literally says that she is really only considering Brigid's freedom because of Petra's competence and it's this kind of colonial mindset that Edelgard has that shows she has an underlying racist attitude towards not only Petra but towards the people of Brigid since they will only become independent because of Edelgard's will.

Even in Crimson Flower we have Petra confesses that she being threatened with Brigid to fight for the empire and in her Deduce support it shows a stark contrast in how she is willing to let her vulnerabilities show when no longer needing to present a front.

Engage is much more preferred because there is no Edelgard discourse

Despite the copium Edelcultists believing Three Houses staying power because of the Edelgard discourse being a good thing (which it isn't) many people and growing are moving on from Three Houses just to be done with the Edelgard discourse to move into Engage which is infinitely more peaceful and despite Faerghasts baity video Engage will get more people and will develop a staying power.

Thank you so much for proving that the teaspoon translation was wrong and thus Raxistachio. It's a shame that Edelgard is deluded to be some hero figure to those Edelcultists rather than the villain that she is. Again thank you for shutting down Raxistachio another common win against the Edelcultists.

The more I find out about how Treehouse's localisation softened up Edelgard, the more I just wish that IS let her be the villain they originally intended her to be, cos WHAT THE FUCK?? EngGard was already morally bankrupt enough, but this might genuinely top her 'why are you fighting back' moment.

How satisfied are you when Edelgard dies

lol such copium is common with you Edelcultists the negative just shows how much and common CF makes people hate Edelgard.

Edelgard's legacy part 2

Well there is more evidence of Edelgard's negative legacy and that is the amount of artwork of Edelgard as of late which is to say is declining in number and quality whilst the number and quality for Dimitri is increasing as well Dimileth fanart and fanfic (which just shows it is the most popular). We can also look at the YouTube videos Edelgard is almost entirely negative and heavily memed and Dimitri is heavily positive I mean just compare the views of Ghasts documentary on Dimitri and Edelgard Dimitri is way ahead of Edelgard.

Dimileth is way more popular than Edeleth

To the suprise of no one (except for Edelcultists) Dimileth is way more popular than Edeleth with tons more fanfics which ao3 is a big example of, more fanart, more fans and more discussions than Edeleth.

Fun fact both Dimitri and Claude have more fanfics than Edelgard separately with Dimitri being the most romanceble character in fanfics.

Edelgard vs YouTube

Its funny how Edelcultists believe that Edelgard is a very popular character which is false by the way and YouTube is a good example of this nearly every FE Tuber is against and despises Edelgard as well as the majority of let's players and streamers that played through that rushed and incomplete route called Crimson Flower which again I will add only makes people hate Edelgard.

We should not forget the great videos that have shown how horrible Edelgard is from BOOFIRE to the smallest let's players and streamers. It is saddening to see many artists on YouTube having to delete good videos just because of the Edelcultists constant hate towards others and a few examples of deleted videos are how Edelgard's meritocracy is a failure and how Edelgard bullied Bernie into being set on fire.

I also should mention big names such as Alpharad and Cohncarnage who played through the game and they despise Edelgard to the very core.

Edelgard has no good representation on YouTube which just goes to show you how unpopular she is as well as her legacy being heavily negative and as a character she will not be remembered fondly at all.

Did Crimson Flower make people hate Edelgard

How naive are you to think that Edelgard will become more popular and beloved over time you do realise there is a big technological gap between the discourse of Michigan to Edelgard now and Edelgard's discourse is the worst in FE history.

Since you already admitted that the vast majority of FE Tubers are against Edelgard you should also know that the vast majority of let's players hate Edelgard and you know what else their opinions can influence the audience to hate Edelgard which has already happened to millions of people.

Edelcultist someone hates a female character it must be misogyny down with the patriarchy. Get out of your safe space.

You do realize that the LGBTQ community is just a vocal minority in the community and even LGBTQ people despise Edelgard because of her pointless war.

What more people enjoying her routes CF is a incomplete route and SB is just repetitive wow such fun. If anything people will hate Edelgard more because of these routes and CF is a prime example of that already happening.

Mind showing me some major evidence of Dimitri and Claude since CF and Edelgard already has countless of those and they keep on growing.

Edelgards legacy in the fandom

Since people are bringing up post launch Engage (looking at you Raxistachio) not creating much buzz whilst in comparison to Three Houses which is only kept alive by the Edelgard discourse it is time to talk about Edelgard's legacy.

Edelgard's legacy is not looked at fondly she isn't a famous character she is an infamous character that has created the worst discourse in the entire fandom and likely no future games will ever be able to overcome the toxic shithole that is Edelgard discourse.

Edelgard will not be remembered for her character, her route it anything she will just be remembered as the character that created the worst discourse in Fire Emblem history.
