this. gilgamesh is an awful character and only awful people ever seem to play him.

it's because the narrative around him is awful.

rpers lean into it. he is definitely their power fantasy darling. but even without all that, in the canon itself he chews scenery. putting aside the rapey shit discussed in the other thread, and that's already a big thing, a "good Gil" is still going to chew scenery and take over threads.

bringing up the canon point issue doesn't help because extra/ccc and babylonia are almost worse on selling the idea of how great and wonderful he is in every single scene even when he is wrong or loses or is outmatched overall.
