    I somehow dont like this… Maybe its the simplicity or the obvious “haha let me use my powers for comfort” thing I feel is overdone…

    its weird. I kept scrolling past this post and really trying not to care but i couldnt.

    oh well, here we are.

    EDIT: oh I think I know what it is now! its that TV trope where cute little animal thing does menacing thing… I think thats it. thats what kept triggering me.

      To be fair I think the idea of Mewtwo as cute is something largely done by the community. The anime and movies seem to portray them way more like a classical villain or monster. Not a cute kitty with psychic powers, in fact I don’t think Mewtwo is acknowledged as cute in any official capacity. Mew is portrayed that way, but not Mewtwo.

        yesyes im aware-

        this one in particular gives me that vibe… were yesyjust as u say, its a generally not cutie peep being portrayed as cutie but aaaalso them still going the menacing thing… which feels like an overblown joke… may really just be me tho.
