Court Records :: Unpopular Opinions You Have On AA : Defendant's Lobby

I don't know how unpopular this is, because I never know what counts as unpopular or not, but I've seen him get a lot of hate so I'll just put it here. I like Jean Armstrong. I mean, if he's written in a mean-spirited way that ain't cool, but him as a person, I find him quite endearing. (And I get so angry with how the other characters are reacting to him! Not that I think that's an unpopular opinion, though. Kudos (haha, Kudo, eh whatever) to Godot, for actually treating him like any other human being and not some freak. You do you, Jean! Takes guts to behave that way anyway, being all campy and effeminate and silly, because of all the prejudices when it comes to people like him. He's being himself.)

Ja. Armstrong is a darling. Besides stealing the magatama, he didn't have bad intentions. I can see why people find him annoying, but not the downright loathing. He's chill and he marches to the beat of his own drum. So what if he loves each sparkle and each bangle? Why not try to see thingsfrom a different angle?

But just as free as he is to be himself, I think everyone is just as free to have an opinion. I don't think any of the characters were particularly judgmental (more confused than anything)

But I disagree that him having a "plus-sized" body somehow made it worse

I agree. Sadly. Not to mention if it would be a nice looking girlie who rubbed oil all over herself in a kitchen...

Just like I don't see what's wrong in thinking girls are more attractive than men. Especially a "nice-looking girlie" as you put it :ron:

I think I'll say no more on this matter, because I can already feel this going the wrong way...

Some unpopular opinions I have are:

Dual Destinies is the best game. After replaying it, I realized that every case in this game was perfect to me.

Turnabout Sisters is an awful case.

Turnabout Succession is one of my favorite cases

I hate everything about Investigations.

Godot is the best prosecutor.
Dahlia Hawthorne is overrated.
Godot is also my favorite villain.

Spoiler: Spirit of Justice

The Phantom was a good villain.

Recipe for Turnabout was worse than Turnabout Big Top.

Reunion, and Turnabout was the worst case in Justice for All.

Meekins is a great character.

Here's my unpopular opinion; Oldbag is one of my top favorite AA characters :oldbag:

Meekins can become a detective.

I agree with you on Meekins. He is such a funny character! I wouldn't mind seeing him in a future game.

I liked all of them except Turnabout Corner.

Either way,I love Corner's settings and mystery. Easily in my top twenty.

I'm mainly talking about how all the events are interconnected. Seriously,they all depended on each other to even happen. It's great.

Well in terms of AJ, I guess I'm not winning awards when I say that I don't like Trump and Succession, and like Corner and Serenade.

Oh, I don't know Turnabout Trump was that praised. I wouldn't say it's that bad, it's just that it doesn't do an efficient job introducing the AJ universe and rather just slap faces with a bunch of absurd things that tells you "Hey, remember all the things you know and love about Phoenix? Yeah, let's set them on fire." Sure this gets redeemed later, but it still feels like a sloppy introduction overall.

Actually, I think it's done perfectly. Just the general atmosphere of the case plus Phoenix...it's supposed to make you feel comfortable. I think that's the beauty of it,but to each their own.

Exactly. It creates a huge sense of mystery to what happpen,which is supposed to make you want to play further to figure it out. Even if you believe that the ending was unsatisfactory, you cannot place that blame on 4-1. It established a mystery,not resolve it.

I don't blame you. I still think AJ has its own good characters though. Trucy,Ema,Kristoph,even Apollo himself. Only exception is Klavier

I'll not say too much, since this is not exactly the place for it. But I do agree that Jean Armstrong should be able to be who he wants to be. But just as free as he is to be himself, I think everyone is just as free to have an opinion. I don't think any of the characters were particularly judgmental (more confused than anything) and nobody told Jean what he can or can't do, I think. Nobody told Jean to "act like a man", if I recall correctly. (But my memory isn't that great, so...) And thinking it's disgusting to rub oil all over your plus-sized body in the middle of a kitchen is a pretty valid opinion to have, I think

This was merely mine (was mentioning the fact that he got a lot of hate to tell why I wrote this in this thread, and not just jabbering about a random character out of nowhere). I just sensed a lot of in-game judging and disrespect (that seemed to be for funsies - but yet again, he might as well be written in a mean-spirited way, I can't tell if he's written to be a stereotype or just a, hm, eccentric person, and if so, if he's written in a disrespectful way, the characters probably reacted according to that). But then again, a lot of strange people in the game get some taste of that too, soeahhh. Was merely thinking of my own opinions regarding this.

To rub oil all over your body in a kitchen, yeah, not a nice thing to do. But I disagree that him having a "plus-sized" body somehow made it worse. But honestly I suspect a lot stems fom his looks. Had he been more conventionally attractive, and thin (or at least not plus-sized) I don't see people being as put off by him (players and Phoenix alike). Sadly.

What a Coincedence. Just wrote about this today. My thing about Jean is that while he does seem obnoxious initially,he actually has more depth to him than suspected,and it's quite nice. Also,he never really makes the second trial awkward,and it really helps so that you can concentrate. @dangerousoffender Yeah,the fourth case of AAI is probably the best in the game,but IMO the final case is the worst final case in the series and I don't really like case three that much. Case one and two are ok I guess And my beef with Godot is that he's not a very good prosecutor. He keeps pulling out the proof card,and it gets redundant fast. But Nahyuta is far worse because at least Godot was somewhat entertaining in court. Nahyuta just keeps spouting the same nonsense over and over,and I don't even care for him,making his redemption all the more worse

Speaking of characters that people hate because of their looks, I think Spark Brushel was one of the most entertaining characters in AJ. I agree that he's unpleasant to look at(Armstrong just looks a little ridiculous if you ask me, not ugly), but he was lot of fun.

Especially a "nice-looking girlie" as you put it So, yes, both gender and physical looks matter in something that was very visual by nature. It's not strange for a (presumably) straight male to be repulsed by the sight of a plus-sized male rubbing oil over himself. (That said, I don't think a girl rubbing oil all over her is particularly appealing either. I'm just not much for oil, I guess) I think I'll say no more on this matter, because I can already feel this going the wrong way...

Post subject:	Re: Unpopular Opinions You Have On AA
Oh, I didn't interpret your post about being specifically about attractiveness, so my thoughts were along the line of that I think how people percieve him as a character in general. But I agree dwelling any more on this would belong to an entirely different discussion. I wasn't trying to say people who don't like Armstrong, or think he's ugly, or don't like him because they think he's ugly are bad people, but I do think it's sad if that's the case, regardless of whether it's natural or cultural or both.

What I meant was just to add a comment to what GfM said - if he had been attractive it wouldn't be seen as repulsive, probably, and if it was a nice-looking girlie, as I, uh, so very eloquently put it, it would most likely be done for fanservice instead of the right opposite. It was just a little comment. Quote: I think I'll say no more on this matter, because I can already feel this going the wrong way... Hahaha! It's probably for the best, yes, and to each their own, I respect that people have different opinions. I don't exactly feel the need to say anything more on this matter either. Viewpoints, viewpoints... ...although I'm a bit amused that my Armstrong-post started a discussion like this.

T&T is only amazing because of its final case. The flashback cases are just alright,and the filler cases are just good. Without the final case,the game would just be 'good'.

Turnabout Succession is one of my favorite cases, along with Turnabout for Tomorrow. I hate everything about Investigations. SoJ Ema > AJ Ema Godot is the best prosecutor. Dahlia Hawthorne is overrated. Godot is also my favorite villain. Spoiler: Spirit of Justice Ga'ran is an awful villain. The Phantom was a good villain. Recipe for Turnabout was worse than Turnabout Big Top. Reunion, and Turnabout was the worst case in Justice for All. Meekins is a great character.

Oh, I don't know Turnabout Trump was that praised. I wouldn't say it's that bad, it's just that it doesn't do an efficient job introducing the AJ universe and rather just slap faces with a bunch of absurd things that tells you "Hey, remember all the things you know and love about Phoenix? Yeah, let's set them on fire." Sure this gets redeemed later, but it still feels like a sloppy introduction overall.
