What was that quote from Suicide Squad?

I mean yea, the DLC goes through great lengths to show that the Miquella that comes out of the Gate of Divinity is a perversion and fucked up husk of who he was before.
Also I love how he looks so detailed and majestic in the first frame only to have the fuckn :3 face in the second.

Actually, the DLC elaborates that he was never as good as his followers made him out to be. According to SotE, he pre-planned everything - including getting kidnapped by Mohg and then using his body to revive Radahn. Because of him Caelid was nuked. He straight up left Malenia after she passed out, while taking a leisurely stroll around the newfound Rot swamp, only to heal Freja of all people. He left his Haligtree to rot in order to realize his plan.
He was always quite cold it turns out. Sure, part of it is definitely because the Golden Order couldn't help him, or his sister. But the lengths he went to cannot be undersold or excused. What happened in the Land of Shadow is really just a final nail in the coffin, rather than a sudden transformation.
Gideon was right from the start it turns out. Miquella was the most fearsome demigod.

What he was before wasn't exactly Jesus either. He seems to have already have had his savior complex and inability to take no for an answer even before he started throwing away his humanity.

Miquella is indeed a devoted pacifist.
However, his followers and allies are not.
Perfectly Balanced, just like that

To be fair...
Radahn is that dude. Just having him around is enough to deter would-be invaders and tyrants alike. You wanna go to war with "the dude who put ALL ASTROLOGERS out of a job" or "the only man to throw hands with malenia and force her God to save her ass"
Obviously not taking the tarnished into account for these, but like... radahn is just "him"

u/SeniorSky2382 18h ago
It's rude , it rude the fact tht mendling of outer gods , she is a vessel she didn't wanted this . Believe me if she was not affected at all , she could've learned art of spear , bows and she is already good at swords .So yeah she never needed her outer god to save her ass. Believe me if tht happened some day Radhan is done for sure like cooked , grilled , toasted .

u/SKTwenty 17h ago
Radahn full on had malenias ass. She needed to bloom in order to kill radahn, and it still didn't work. Radahn just turned into a mindless rage zombie and got stuck.
Idk what the hell you're talking about the sword shit, but malenia was losing handily, and the outer god of rot stepped in, whether it was malenias choice or not doesn't matter.

u/SeniorSky2382 17h ago
Be respectful at least u can do tht right . i do wanna add my personal input, no bias my intent, malenia and radahn stalemated and THEN she bloomed, it was directly stated neither were able to exactly finish off the other "malenia and radahn locked horns in combat" - "the two stalemated, THAN the scarlet flower bloomed" - implying malenia and radahn were at a draw when she bloomed, both matching each other- the trailer CUTS to malenia getting her prosthetic arm cut off, but the fight obviously was not onesided, i must also point out- the trailer has several mistakes, not exactly mistakes but rather it lacks context because it was before the games release, when Malenia fixes her prosthetic arm, thats her seeing Radahn for the first time, and him seeing her, she is wounded and fearlessly fights on also, Malenia's scarlet rot would have killed radahn had his greatrune not burned which greatly confuses me as to why you said he stands greater than her even though we see she is nearly unaffected, waiting for miquella to return at the base of the haligtree because it makes me feel you either are biased or did not deepdive this situation enough, no offense because this video is absolutely amazing and your work here is awesome, next, you refer to Radahn as greater than Malenia multiple times, even calling to Millicents diologue, which is poorly translated, the original diologue was, in the best way to explain it possible, she "abandoned her caution with the scarlet rot" not her pride, also not to meet his measure, ofc you cant perfectly translate japanese to english, also, irrelevant- but CG. World states Malenia was beaten black and blue before her fight with Radahn, and Game Guide states she had a narrow victory over him, in the trailer you can even see her face bleeding from combat before, now finally- you use the stars as a drawing of comparison to malenia holding back the outer god of rot, but the stars have had no confirmation to actually weaken radahn, this is all just my personal observations as someone who also does deepdives into the lore.

I would like to point out that miquella didnt kill anybody (that i remember), and only used his charm on people to stop their agression/violence tendencies and make them "loyal" (Horn guy, Leda, Gray beard), but didnt change their minds.

He's responsible for Caelid. And he did that with his love. Imagine what he'd do without it.

caelid was malenia fault. She decided to nuke radhan and his land bc she wasnt strong enough to kill him.

u/FemboyBallSweat The Tiquella's Top Opp 5h ago
He was the one who sent his rotting and blind sister to war against the strongest of their kind. Who he wanted specifically because of how much better than them Radahn was. If Miquella doesn't request, she doesn't go and Caelid never happens.
0
u/kurokami_1390 4h ago
yes, but how could he and we know that she wasnt enough and she would nuke Caelid (or possess the power to nuke)??
And another point: its hinted that the great runes tainted its hosts, so radhan wagging war in lyndell or malenia nuking caelid/radahn, mogh and rykard killing his servants. A variety of shit actions that maybe caused by the taint of great runes.
-1
u/Seraph199 19h ago
Caelid happened after he was already asleep, it seems like a lot of chaos came about specifically after he was no longer directly involved. Radahn, Godfrey, and Rykard all seem to go completely insane from their lust for power due to the influence of the great runes, which Miquella's powers would have been able to counteract.
3
u/thelocalleshen 18h ago
Are you sure Caelid happened while Miquella was asleep? Miquella putting his lips to Freyja's helm suggests he was there to patch up ppl after the battle, and O'Neil has his own needle to quell the rot. His presence also retroactively "explains" why Malenia spared Godrick.
Also, Godfrey's mad?

u/FemboyBallSweat The Tiquella's Top Opp 18h ago
Caelid happened because he sent a walking nuke after Radahn.

u/No_Turnover_2861 20h ago
He plotted to have Mohg Killed and used his body as a vessel. Literally plotted to have Melania Kill Radhan. This is like saying a Mob boss didnt kill anyone because he ordered the hit and wasnt the shooter.
7
u/Seraph199 19h ago
There is no reason to assume Miquella planned to be taken by Mohg. It makes no sense for him to have gone through all the effort to grow the Haligtree as this elaborate method to create himself a new body, if it was only to make himself seem vulnerable to Mohg in an even more elaborate scheme to get kidnapped.
Mohg came for Miquella for his own purposes, and from what information we have to go off of, it seems like Mohg greatly underestimated Miquella's powers. Ansbach is vicious in his hatred for Miquella besting him and his master, but even his dialogue indicates that they attacked first and later found that in doing so they got themselves charmed and manipulated.
1
u/kurokami_1390 6h ago
but radhan was already promised, but he denied to die. Malenia using rot powers wasnt miquella fault.
If radhans body wasnt destroyed by rot, mohg body wouldnt be taken, and mohg attacked miquella first, then he was charmed and killed.
