It's time of the year again, so I wish you all a happy new year :)
Today's topic for discussion is: the spiritual core of the mainstream character of stealing stars.
The view extends from last year's New Year's greetings, see: Ten years ago's Guoman classic: What is the charm of stealing stars in September?
Let's start with the conclusion and summarize the general spiritual core of the positive role of Star Stealing: both treating yourself as a human being and treating others as human beings.
What do you mean? Treating oneself as a human being means being able to establish one's own subjectivity, not to regard oneself as a vassal of others, not to rely on others subjectively, and not to regard other individuals as one's own growth and behavior goals; Focus on your own feelings, interests and future; At the same time, he also values his own responsibilities as a "person", believing that his own responsibility is his own responsibility and has nothing to do with others. To treat others as human beings means to be able to recognize the subjectivity of others, not to regard others as one's vassals, and to subjectively recognize others as independent individuals; Respect the choices, feelings, interests and future of others; They also respect others to fulfill their own responsibilities and do not take others' responsibilities as their own.
Yes? Isn't this all nonsense? Isn't it true that everyone should want to do so?
Not. Whether it is in the real world or in literary and artistic works, there are very few people who can do all of the above points.
Next, let's take a look at how Zhou Mushroom creates a flesh-and-blood positive character mainly through the role of Breaking the Army.
Who is the broken army?
Broken Jun is the headmaster of VV Academy, who participated in the excavation project of the Black Moon Iron Rider as a subordinate of Dr. Amy, and later gained the seventh sense.
There are three important characters in the role of Breaking the Army:
1.Gender: male, likes beautiful women, and has a clear lustful setting;
2.Married to Catherine, but divorced; Later, he fell in love with Sissi, but did not establish any relationship, and the two did not follow;
3.He is the only male in the leadership of VV Academy and the adoptive father of Greedy Wolf.
These three settings perfectly interpret the spiritual core of a decent character who steals stars, and I want to analyze them one by one.
1. Lustful men.
Although Pojun usually looks like a baby, his actual age is over 50 years old, and he is a proper middle-aged uncle.
It is not uncommon for the character of "lascivious middle-aged uncle" to be set up in various virtual works, such as Jiraiya in Hokage.
The setting of Zilai is quite similar to that of the broken army.,Both are the masters of the male protagonist.,And in the protagonist's camp.。
But there is a fundamental difference between these two people: they behave differently for lust.
The lustful behavior of the broken army is within the framework of social order and good customs, such as looking at magazines (Wu Qu dares to use that magazine to "fish", indicating that the magazine should be a legal publication), and hooking up with sister paper in Poseidon (in line with local customs).
His lustful behavior does not affect others, it is a purely personal hobby.
But it's different, he's going to the women's bathhouse**.
Although we don't understand the laws of the Hokage world, it's obvious that this matter is not right anywhere, otherwise he will be a **** thing, and he will rush in and see if it will be over, and Tsunade will not beat him.
To put it bluntly, Zilai only treats himself as a human being, and only wants to satisfy his own desires, but he doesn't really treat the women who are ** as human beings (or he doesn't respect them as complete people).
Ah no, he has been so righteous since he came, he has given his life for righteousness.
It shows that the plot is purely fictional.
Rimante likes to write this kind of plot, on the one hand, the uncles have all kinds of messy and lascivious behaviors, and they don't take women's basic rights and feelings seriously; On the other hand, uncles can sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for the sake of righteousness, and they are all heroes when the crisis comes
Isn't this kind of plot setting just misleading children? A person usually does not treat others as human beings for the sake of his own desires, do you still expect him to give up his rights to fulfill the righteousness in a crisis? Isn't that hilarious?
It's normal for people to have seven emotions and six desires, and I don't like that kind of character design that is very "desireless and desireless".
Without him, I just feel very fake.
But on the other hand, how should the author create a positive character who "wants and wants"? In fact, it is very simple, let them have some normal people's "hobbies", and then "pull back from the precipice" when these "hobbies" are about to affect others.
Human beings are true because they have desires, and they are great because they can overcome their own desires.
2. Divorced men.
Po Jun is the only person in the Vv Academy F4 who has a clear history of love and marriage. He was married to Catherine and forcibly divorced her one day after gaining her seventh sense.
I have written two articles about the reasons why Pojun forcibly divorced Catherine, see: Stealing Stars in September: Why did Pojun divorce Catherine.
Stealing the Stars in September: The Breakneck and Catherine's Divorce (revised above).
The direct reason is the short life caused by the development of the seventh sense, and he has no way to grow old with Catherine, so he has to divorce quickly so that Catherine can find it again.
Of course, there may be many other reasons for Po Kai's divorce, such as his inability to perform his husband's duties well due to work reasons, and Po Jun's own desire for a freer love life.
There are also characters such as divorced or separated middle-aged men in other fictional works, but many of them are portrayed in a way that is difficult to describe.
To give two examples, Chu Tianjiao in "Dragon Family" and Maori Kogoro in "Conan". Uncle Maori has been separated from Concubine Yingli for many years, but he just doesn't pull the divorce certificate, and the result is that Uncle Maori hooks up with all kinds of little sisters and female stars.
This setting is very embarrassing, if Maori Kogoro hooked up with other women was known by Fei Yingli's colleagues, friends, and clients, what would people think of her? Fei Yingli doesn't want to lose face?
If you don't understand, just ask, do Japanese women really have face?
Actually, Mori Kogoro and Pojun are still somewhat similar in terms of showing lust (?). But people are really single! These lustful behaviors of the broken army will not have any effect on Catherine.
Anyway, I don't understand why Qingshan didn't let these two break off their relationship. (Or is the latest plot already gone, but I don't know?) ）
Let's talk about Chu Tianjiao, briefly summarize his behavior:
As a superhuman-dragon hybrid, he "fell in love" with Su Xiaoyan (the pillar of the dance troupe), a beautiful female dancer who was less than twenty years old, while performing a confidential mission in a certain city, and then took down the family through various dedications and "bragging", and quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a child (without telling Su Xiaoyan her true identity).
As a result, how old are the children (Chu Zihang), and he seems to have "suddenly" discovered that he is not suitable for starting a family (nonsense, he is still performing a confidential task that may be sent at any time), so he pretended that he had no money and was not motivated, Su Xiaoyan couldn't bear it and divorced him.
If Po Jun was asked to evaluate Chu Tianjiao, what would he say?
Po Jun: You are obviously on a dangerous mission, since you know that you can send it at any time, and you can't grow old with Su Xiaoyan at all, then what are you provoking others? Where in the world are there so many men who like to get married for the second time with a baby?
What's more, the little girl is less than 20 years old, and it is the first period of a dancer's career development, and you still have a life with others? What about the future of others? Have you ever thought about it?
Chu Tianjiao: I'm ......She didn't sleep well and I remember giving her hot milk at night ......
Pojun has two emotional lines, and Chu Tianjiao only has one;
Neither of the two relationships in Pojun "fruitful", he neither had offspring with Catherine, nor did he establish any relationship with Sissi.
Chu Tianjiao quickly had a family and a son.
However, after their relationship ended, Su Xiaoyan became a divorced woman with a baby, and quickly gave up her career and became Mrs. Kuo;
And Catherine rose all the way, and Sissi directly became the emperor of the sea.
The difference between them is certainly related to their own attributes (one is a woman in the dragon clan, and the other two are women in the star stealer, which is the root difference), but it is also closely related to the men they meet.
Breaking Jun certainly has his own emotional needs, but when dealing with Catherine and Sissi, he fully considers the impact this relationship will have on them.
When he found out that continuing this relationship would be detrimental to them, Pojun chose to terminate it decisively, even if everyone was sad at the time.
As a result, through their relationship with Pojun, Catherine and Sissi both reached the pinnacle of their careers; And because Pojun didn't kidnap them with feelings, these two have been at the top.
And what did Chu Tianjiao think about for Su Xiaoyan? When Chu Tianjiao first met her, her career at the peak of her career had just begun; When he left her, her career as a top dancer was basically buried, and she relied on Jiangnan to forcibly save her dignity and become a broad wife.
In the final analysis, the love of the broken army is to love both themselves and them, and it is true love; And Chu Tianjiao doesn't really love Su Xiaoyan, what he loves is everything that this relationship brings him (divorce is a precipice).
Doesn't Pojun want a home and a long-term partner? Of course he wanted to, but it wouldn't be good for them, so let's just make a big cry and then we'll be over.
The ancients said: The beloved son of parents has far-reaching plans.
Breaking the army and falling in love are based on the ideal parental love as the standard.
3. Men with children.
There is a plot at VV Academy that is particularly funny. Pojun plays alone with Greedy Wolf and is seen by Catherine, who thinks that Greedy Wolf is his illegitimate son.
There is also a clip where the greedy wolf approves of the strange cake of the broken army.
I have analyzed these two episodes in detail, see: The past of the childhood male god Mr. Greedy Wolf and his emotional line analysis.
To summarize briefly, Pojun is the main force in the F4 of VV Academy to take care of greedy wolves, and the other three women are not as good as him combined.
This kind of setting is unimaginable in other works:
There are divorced people who let their minor daughters cook for themselves, there are those who throw their own sons to female relatives, there are those who almost stab their daughters to death because they don't recognize them, and there are a lot of ...... who never show their faces
Of course, there are occasional fathers who personally bring the baby, such as the Kurosaki Ichigo family in "Death", but this is sent by the mother.
There are also works that use men taking care of the family as a gimmick, such as "The Way of the Extreme Master", which stands out for being a contrast and funny.
But stealing stars is different, the babies in stealing stars are basically raised by men:
Either there are no female adults at home, for example, there have been no female staff on the whole island of Heiyue Island, and Zhou Mushroom doesn't think it's inappropriate for a group of men (Mr. K, Dr. Q plus passerby A) to raise a bunch of male and female children, so Mr. K doesn't hire female employees.
Jiangnan: False, the old man's enthusiasm for raising other people's female babies must have other intentions, right, Eri Yi
Eri Yi:
Either there is a group of women but the result is still the main responsibility of the men, such as VV Academy, Zhou Mushroom didn't think that the greedy wolf should be thrown to the three unmarried female doctors (the original book didn't say it, let's count it as unmarried), so Pojun was misunderstood by Catherine ......
Of course, there are also unreliable men, such as Ryuxing's father, but this father seems to care more about this son than the faster mother.
The only one who "abandoned his wife and children" went out to struggle was a passer-by who made a puppet mask, who ran to Poseidon in order to get ahead, and dared not to take the baby at home! In the end, he ended up in a bad situation, and when he died, he couldn't regret it.
To sum up, Zhou Mushroom undoubtedly did not hype the "male mothers" in stealing stars as a gimmick, in his heart, it is natural for a man to take a baby and go to work, there will be no strange problems, and it is not worth writing about.
This made me feel very uncomfortable watching other anime** because I had a hard time finding another work that didn't have gender stereotypes.
This is probably the "sequelae of star stealing".
Epilogue. This article focuses on the two types of interpersonal relationships that lead to the breaking of the army.
The first is his relationship with women. There is no doubt that Pojun likes beautiful women very much, and he is very cautious and principled in dealing with beautiful women.
On the one hand, he can think from the other party's point of view, if their relationship is not conducive to the long-term development of the other party, then the long pain is better than the short pain, and it is broken off quickly.
Note: Broken Jun is much older than Catherine and Sissi, and her mind is more mature, so he sees himself as more responsible in both relationships.
On the other hand, he also cares about his own feelings, so it is impossible to give Catherine a "holiday". Whether Catherine wants a new love life or not has nothing to do with him, but he must try to make himself happier.
Po Jun: It's impossible to keep festivals, and I'm not a tool for keeping festivals. As long as it doesn't violate public order and good customs, I can do whatever I like.
The second type is the downward relationship, that is, the relationship between the adult male and the child.
In many other works, it is not uncommon for adult men to shift the responsibility of caring for children (even their own biological children) to female characters, only to break the army and take on the responsibility of raising children among a group of women......
Most of the time because the greedy wolf is a boy, Pojun feels that he should be more responsible.
It can be considered that the internal behavioral logic of the role of Po Jun is very rigorous, because his behavioral choices are consistent.
In daily life, he can think about others and himself, so he can not only bear the responsibility, but also have a stable and open-minded mentality.
The broken army has a powerful spiritual world.
So when it really comes to the crisis, it's not surprising that he stepped forward.
On the contrary, it is hard for me to believe that those who do not think about others in their daily lives can choose righteousness in times of crisis.
Can students with poor grades in the college entrance examination exceed their level and excel in the college entrance examination?
Of course, not everyone in Star Stealing is like this, and there are many "people" who don't treat themselves as people or others.
Xuanyue: Hold it back, hold it back
Muir: Is it possible to say that it's me?
Finally, I wish you all a happy new year again in Egypt and continue to support the tech house commentary in the new year
