I know that but it's just funny from like an outside view, it's like watching a DM in a real time try to find a way to Power balance this campaign that their player characters have completely fucking broken, or like reading a games patch notes and just seeing the story unfold in real time of somebody breaking that s*** anytime they fix something.

Wait but you're the one that said they were malicious in the first place, I started with "not malicious" you said they are now! I agree and you say they aren't! what's happening man?

I guess it depends on who's writing the orcs and at what time, because I have a (limited) knowledge of them but the stories I've read mostly portray them essentially as a mass of bloodthirsty f****** soccer hooligans that are dumb as all hell, cause untold suffering, but process other creatures entirely in terms of how much fun they are to fight and kill and what loot they get off of them. They're essentially a swarm of locust as far as I've been exposed, like I remember one I read were they more or less realize if they kidnap and kill humans it might cause Space Marines to come fight them and because they really want to fight Space Marines they kept kidnapping and killing humans. Like they seem more like a sentient disease in terms of their general trends and behaviors, they do this s*** because this is all they know how to do and this is all that seems natural to them they've never even considered doing anything else. They're like a lions, or smallpox, they are as they do because they exist. (Except in this case they were also made exclusively to ....you know what it's kind of a mess to ascribe any sense of normal morality to anything in Warhammer I don't know why I tried)

Edit. I was thinking of malicious in a motivation sense or maybe I was thinking of a different word, but in terms of actual definition, I'm wrong as hell - these motherfuckers definitely intend to do harm they just see harm as a good thing. (Which sort of makes it confusing because they are intending to do harm which is malice but they consider that harm natural and good... I guess orcs are kind of like guns they were built to do one thing and it feels kind of weird to try to ascribe deeper motivation to things they just do by the nature of their existence.)

Truly this image was forged for a moment Like this.

Like at this point there's seven people nearly equal in strength to the demon king that all came from disparate places at about the same time, nearly immediately identified each other and decided to communicate with each other to some degree, but also despite meeting up and deciding to communicate with each other they nearly immediately split up and don't actually coordinate at all other than essentially saying "hi". Like there's power creep... and then there's whatever the f*** we got going on here.

I guess when I mean malicious I mean more so actively and knowingly evil or with negative intent, like to the Orks fighting and dying isn't a negative it's just a thing they assume everybody loves doing because they love doing it, so as far as they're concerned they're just spreading an awesome thing that some people for some reason aren't always doing, and at least for the giant king half of the pain and suffering he has caused (largely to his own people) has been nearly entirely incidental to just him existing in proximity to them, and the other half has been either in pursuit of him having fun or in retaliation to previous grievances, like these creatures come across more like big dumb assholes then giant evil ones. (Granted that pretty much only applies to the retinue of Giants around and in proximity to the giant king, the stray ones we've seen interact with humans I would describe as anywhere from "somewhat to highly" malicious)
Edit: Hateful, hateful is probably the word I was looking for not malicious.

A yet to be seen female would explain why they're race is still alive, maybe they work like that one species of aliens from Rick and Morty and the females are the Smart ones living somewhere doing their own thing only interacting with men to breed.

I love the Titans they have Warhammer ork energy, they're not malicious necessarily they're just dumb assholes that like fighting and don't really think about anything beyond that, especially their leader I feel like him and the orks would get along swimmingly.

I mean straight up at this point my favorite character has been the demons, the main character shows a disturbing amount of short-sightedness for a man that's supposed to be a hardened veteran living his second lifetime, and main girl is pretty much the exact same personality type as the main character except at least she has the excuse of youth. (Granted if she would have just left when the main character told her to dip earlier the demons, who are primarily interested in the protagonist, probably would have let her and then the teachers would have rolled up and then the main character could have fled)

Don't know what it is but something about this is giving me mad Naruto energy...

The only trade-off being that it takes a long ass time to work if he curses something strong, simply because they still need to get with enough stuff to die.

The flame Spirit was more a personification of the will of heaven and Earth, it wasn't a specific person it was a coagulation of heaven's hatred of cultivators.
In regards to her though, she's just able to become an immortal naturally and much more easily, bypassing the whole 'cleanse your body of the miasma' steps.

I have weirdly enough been reading it like GLaDOS that exact passive-aggressiveness it's kind of what it feels like heaven's giving them, where it really wants them to die and it wants to kill them but it's not going to do it out right it's got to make it a whole thing.

I'm not even sure if these are the fruit people anymore because they look nothing like the fruit people we saw previously. I don't know if the author forgot or if he's supposed to be on a different island or what but the fruit people we saw had distorted faces and were green ...these are just people.

This tangentially relates to a conversation I once had with friends where we all agreed the best protagonists have to either be good at cooking, be good at crossdressing, or be good at fighting bare minimum.

Honestly with what I've seen already she absolutely might, if she heard someone mention something about a love hotel she's liable to follow them I am 100% willing to believe that.

She explicitly said as much, even on her off hours she skulks around the parts of school she assumes people would have romantic Trysts in.

She apparently got this job so that she can watch people's romances it feels like more than a hobby.

All she cares about is other people's romances, I can't imagine that will translate to a long-lasting and stable relationship.

I mean this is a character type I've seen in several romcoms at this point, but she is definitely probably the most upfront outright version of it I've seen.
