After a few years, I saw lex commenting on fz. After thinking about it, I still feel a little indifferent to this. I couldn't help but want to find the reason. In my opinion, the biggest bug of fz is that the arrangement of historical figures is too casual.
Most of the Japanese comics use the setting of the perspective of high school students to use the immaturity of the characters to explain the drama of the plot and promote the development of the plot, but once the same setting is applied to historical characters, it will have the opposite effect. These historical figures have undergone the screening of time and left their respective stories to be passed down to the present day, which means that they have a certain characteristic or position that is wonderful enough to be praised. Such characters are shown to obey orders regardless of the reason. And the feeling of being able to sympathize with the young man casually is very incredible. It's as if their once-dominant vision and ambitions as rulers and superiors have been thrown to the dog by the screenwriters to explain the terribly contradictory actions of these heroes after they were summoned to the modern age.
Let's not discuss whether King Arthur is a man or a woman, even if he/she is a knight whose honor represents everything. After all, he is the king of a country who once led the British people to fight against the Saxon invaders. It is really very difficult to associate this image with a A kind-hearted little girl who does not bend together. Not to mention Jin Twinkle, who has gained countless likes by force and appearance, what is the significance of whether he is the oldest king? Just to explain the source of the treasure? King Conqueror follows the people-friendly route, but from the beginning to the end, he has nothing to do with heroism and brilliance. He is like a rough and bold big brother next door. The characters of other characters are superficial. One obsession can explain everything he does. In order to make the progress of the plot simpler, it also loses the display of the complexity of human nature, not to mention that these characters are more complex because of history.
The giants of the same period are much better in this respect. The three protagonists are minors, and it is understandable that they are immature, but the adults who investigate the legion are in line with their IQ, overall situation and leadership, so they will not let them in this regard. The audience has a feeling that it is difficult to identify. The overhead history prevents the audience from giving too much pre-impression to a character at the first time, and as the plot progresses, the multifaceted and complex nature of some characters is also revealed.
Under the guise of historical figures, simply using their names and identities to add b-frames to the work, but lacking in-depth excavation and shaping of historical figures, and ultimately a hodgepodge of characters on the surface, is the biggest bug.
