Subscriber Scenarios #23 – Movie Night

So I went a little overboard with this one, primarily because I had a few too many ideas for how I wanted to handle it. In the end it allowed for more conversation, though, and hopefully people won’t mind seeing this many characters on a big ol’ couch.

I picked this one in part because of Himeno’s recent tournament win. Clearly people want to see more of her, and I’m fond of her so I’m happy to oblige. Launch and Tien is a couple I’ve seen compared a bit to Himeno and Aki, partly due to Tien being a bit more stoic and Launch being unpredictable, mirroring Aki and Himeno’s dynamic a little bit. They’re also both ships that don’t get to become official in the source material. In Himeno’s victory pic I established a friendship between her and Hawkeye, so it made sense to me to bring them into movie night here and deepen that connection a bit. I also recently did a Film Appreciation Club Card for Eren, where I talked about Mikasa and Armin also being in that club, so it kinda felt like a fitting call to have them involved to. I tried to keep the action a bit varied and fun, hopefully there’s something for everyone here.
