Multi-Anime AMV - Sabaton - Father 

It was difficult for me to use those parts. Because that's the moment when Marrine in my opinion stops being a human being and becomes a crazy bitch that absolutely didn't deserve to keep on living. So, the fact that she survived the war was a terrible mistake, because someone that is ready to do something like that to win has no right to rule over a nation. She had to die the worst kind of death, and I find incredible that they accepted to forgive her.

​@@CJSpencerAMVCreation well, that was the war. And, by my knowledge in history, she wasn't the worst even if we compare to Ancient/Middle age times. For she is the most complex character in the Grancrest, cause she is first the Ruler, and, may be, third the woman. Considering all the fights before her (if I remember correctly, the wars were helds for many centuries and far more brutal), all around her... she was stuck between rock and hard place. Yes, she is a little crazy... I give her that... still, as somevody interested in warfare and generals of all times... her way of thoughts is understandable. She choose the crule yet efficient methods, considered every recource she has... About this fortress - how many knights she could loose in the normal attack? Many, too many. But the fortress should be taken... Between loosing 30-40% of the army and using those methods... she choose her own people. Any can say, that she is responsible, her hands are in blood and mud... but she prioritise her own mens. In the last counsil between her future husband, main and her... some say, she was at disadvantage, but among those two she was the most dangerous and those two undestood this well. Yes, both could win against her... but our Main mainly fought head on with some minor tricks, Husband was only in one big battle and... yes, he is genious, but, again, his enemy attacked head on... She is different and that's what scary about her. For compare... Bai Qi of Qin, Warring States of China. He was undefeated in his life, one of the four Greatest Generals of the Period... and we have one of his battle at Changping... that was brutal. well, you can read it, but for understanding, he burried alive more than 300000 POW. And it's only one example. Regretfully, war isn't pretty, honorable, or merciful. Yes, she is a little bitch... but, among all survivors... she is the most realistic one, what's give her good credit.

@@nyarlathotep641 I could agree with you, but you have to consider that even in Middle Ages there were some red lines in a war. One of these was the biological weapons. After the siege of Caffa, when the Mongols threw against the Genueses corpses with the Plague that later provoked the black plague, almost no one used that kind of tactic for centuries in Europe, because everyone recognized after facing it on their own skins (the plague in XIV century killed 1/3 of Europe in 4 years) that it was beyond morality. Of course everything changed in XIX century (and sometimes in XVIII century in North America with the Flu's Strategy used by British and French against natives), while in most of the World these kinds of tactics never disappeared completely (nobunaga used it, to make an example). One could say "but what about massacres of civilians, robberies, ecc.?" Yes, these things too were brutal and unforgivable, but as I said the biological attack was considered something even worse, and a general or a king was willing to lose half of his men rather than tarnish his name.

@@CJSpencerAMVCreation In any case, I do not condone it. The bottom line is that her case is a little different: she couldn't lose soldiers. Too many enemies, strong enemies. None could be defeated with ordinary methods... but waiting wasn't an option too. Another point: she divided herself as a Ruler and as a Human. As a Ruler, she had to be understanding, careful, and act for the good of her subjects. But as a Human: she was ready to plunge into mud, blood, to take on any crimes, again, for the sake of the person of the Ruler. For which her subjects were loyal to her. It was the "Human" who commanded the troops. Judging by many points, people in her country lived quite well and there were no particular problems, as the Ruler she was very popular. She chose to get her hands dirty, but, to her credit, she didn't justify herself. She understood what she was doing. This is what sets her apart from most. As already written, she is the most complex character in this work. Until now, disputes do not subside about her. She perceives war precisely as war: dirt, blood, cruelty, which distinguishes her from the other two. Yes, cruelly, yes, mercilessly, but ... as they often say: the winner is not judged. Again, I do not deny that she acted cruelly, but she herself chose this path and walked along it with iron determination. The other two needed good kicks. The bottom line is that she decided to put an end to wars, to put an end to bloodshed, and, she understand that for this she will have to shed a lot of blood, she decided to act as efficiently as possible. This is the essence of her character: she herself chose herself as the ruler and the executioner, the defendant and the judge. She understood how she would be remembered even if she won... but she made a bet on the future. Yes, again, it is difficult to justify her, but she did not want this. She walked along this path, knowing full well that a scaffold could await her. Here you need to understand that we are looking at this from the point of view of a modern person, the situation there is as far as possible from this. In general, no matter how strange it may sound, all the arguments are correct. But that's why for me she is a great character. She's not good or bad, she's a character, a complex character. It is a pity that in works with wars you will not see such a lot. Everyone is either desperate good-natured or evil to the last drop of the soul. Also, I don't know if you watched it, but try reading/watching "Kingdom". Anime is a little censored (almost no blood) and 1 season has bad animation, but later in 2 and so on it really turning out good. Kanki/Huang Ji - is good example of over the roof General in it (too bad, that he is only from the 2 season).

be the first of many likeminded ones to turn the future to here and now
