I fully agree, except for the fact that I actually found him positively wonderful from the start, even though some things got a bit tired, but I think and hope that it's him trying too hard, wanting a kind of persona after all the stress he's been through. But I got tired at times. Yes, yes, "Fool Bright", yes, yes, the judge is bald, we get it. But he really amuses me. He laughs at his own jokes, like Miles said, I loved it when he fell asleep and snored in court (Aristotele, you tiring lecturer!), and when he left the courtroom... And his British lingo!
"The loo."I think I might have a tad bit of a game-crush, actually. (Not because he uses the word "loo", mind you.
)And he share his name with my very young brother from another mother... that is, my half brother, not my "bro". And it's cute because this brother is a todder.

This is interesting. I'm of two minds here. I would actually agree that he is a bit forced in some ways, as much as I ultimately enjoy him as a character. The most obvious forced thing I could thing of was
Spoiler:
And of course, the aforementioned "Twisted Samurai" business. As a character himself, though? In the final assessment, I found him more gruff and quirky than outright edgy.
The fact that he IS actually formidable in court makes up for some of those shortcomings, I think.
Now, even if you apologize...I will not forgive you.

Yes! That's a very interesting thought. Makes me think of following quote from Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are dead by Tom Stoppard: “There must have been a moment, at the beginning, were we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it. ”

That would not only make a lot of sense, but it could also provide some very interesting dark conversations in future games. I believe the biggest problem with Athena's and Simon's relationship is that we hardly see them interract at all, which just leaves me more confused than touched by his sacrifice.
Speaking of dark, what made people think Dual Destinies was any darker than other installments in the series? I personally think Apollo Justice is more depressing and scary than Dual Destinies.
On a completely unrelated note, I posted this some time ago on the "Best of the Ace Attorney fandom", but I figured it could be posted here as well:

My thoughts excactly. And there is something really eery about the atmosphere in Apollo Justice.

On a totally different note: Even though this, perhaps, doesn't make much sense because it's not really comparable, as well as, they don't refer to him as a "samurai" in the Japanese version, do they?, I found this absolutely adorable (on TV-tropes "fridge"-page about Dual Destinies): "Edgeworth's secret love of the Steel Samurai series reaches a whole new level once it dawns on you that now he has his own personal samurai now as the Chief Prosecutor, and therefore the "Twisted Samurai" Simon Blackquill's boss." ...aww.

Edgeworth doesn't have a particular motif to his design

Edgeworth doesn't have a particular motif to his designexcept that cravat of course so I've seen Japanese artists portray him both as a knight and/or a samurai. By this point, though, Edgey might as well be represented as a feudal lord.

Yes, that's why I safeguarded, haha. I thought something might have been off with the text but I couldn't be sure since I'm not in touch with Japanese culture and whatnot.
Interesting!

This would be the best thing ever.
But I don't know, they'll prolly meh him off... or.... now that I think about it.
Every prosecutor, that was not Godot, was directly mentioned (with I direct, I am not talking about that there is a guy in some distant past how loved to drink coffee or sumthin' like that) in later games.
So there may be a good chance.
After all, he's kinda tied to Athena and Athena is part of the Agency.

I believe I made a post like that on Miiverse. But seriously: We need a 3D Investigations, one with Blackquill, and one with a younger Edgeworth. I kinda liked his PLvsAA voice.

I actually brought this up in the headcanon thread (though, I guess you mentioned it first. Rats). Anyway, this is probably the most frustrating part about Simon (and Ace Attorney) for me
I've mentioned many times before that I do like Simon so I don't think it needs repeating, but I feel like characters like him, Klavier, and Lang could be so much more if they were treated more seriously. Yeah, it's Ace Attorney and every character is kooky but so are Edgeworth, Valant, and Badd at points, and they ended up feeling so real
I don't know. I usually like characters more when I think of probable events that were never stated. Simon is a pretty tragic character if you think about it; spending sleepless nights next to the prisoners that he prosecuted all for a little girl that he's protecting only for a sense of duty. There were probably so many nights where he just cried because he felt so utterly alone (I like to think that deep down, Simon really appreciated Fulbright despite how he acted). I think a monologue from Simon could've gone a long way
I'm not even sure what I'm saying at this point so I'll leave it at this--Lang is a silly character but he does have a serious side which fleshes him out quite a bit and makes him pretty great. Blackquill's serious side is the same as his "serious in court" side.

Yeah, they could've done more with his character, small things even, to make him feel more rounded. That's why I felt Lang was so much better handled in GK2, in that sense he felt somewhat unfinished in the first one. It kind of makes me think there could be some potential in having Simon making a brief return if there's a GS6, although it could be a catastrophe as well.
I feel like the biggest opportunity they had for it is gone, though. I mean, I wasn't bothered by the fact that people thought the Phantom was Fulbright with shaky evidence, but I was bothered that Simon bought it so easily. I mean, that guy is your best friend, Simon. You think it would bother him a little or shake him up but he didn't seem to care (maybe he suspected him from the beginning?)
I don't know. It would've been a nice mini-arc if Simon opposed the Mood Matrix the entire game but then actually believed its credibility when it was used on Fulbright. Then, when it's revealed Fulbright is dead, Simon actually gets really pissed
I guess they rightfully thought it would've been to similar to I-5 where the rival defended defended his detective friend (a masked impostor) from the main character and wanted to do something different
I'll still hold some hope out for Simon in GS6, though. I was disappointed going into AAI2 about the writers discarding Lang besides his cameo in Case 2, but I loved the way they made him the rival in the final case again, in a way that didn't feel forced
