POWER FANTASY?Can this group of Servants take the One Ring to Mordor?
Lol. Fate is totally a power fantasy. The central point of the start of the series is you summoning a super awesome super hot chick that then calls you master and fall in love with you. But wait, there are other routes where... a bunch of other super awesome super hot chicks also fall in love...forums.spacebattles.com
Shirou gets brought to the brink of death on a regular basis, is one of the weakest characters in the story (to the point even his Servant version only does so well because every other Servant is nerfed to shit/an arrogant douchebag unwilling to go all out against a human whom Shirou specifically counters), and experiences all manner of horrors over the course of the three routes.
Oh but he gets laid with a hot woman in all three so it's definitely a fantasy right? Nevermind the fact the Saber romance is doomed from the start and he ended up having to face down a terrifying dark version of Sakura. That's totally something people would want to go through right?
Fucking asinine, it's just like FV Bleach where one guy said Ichigo reminded him A LOT of Shirou. Like ONLY if you describe them in VERY BROAD STROKES do those two seem even remotely similar. And even the similar sounding details fall apart completely when you look at the actual context of the stories. Ultimately Ichigo is a pretty well adjusted and functioning human being at the beginning, middle and end of the series. Shirou gets to that point but he's a fucking broken individual at the start.
