>>51508375That shit isn't dark, it's just stupidly edgy. The gym leaders had been kidnapped for months by Team Plasma, one of the most ruthless organizations in the whole franchise, and THIS is what they do with them?
Aside from Brycen (who had been kidnapped during the league), this shit doesn't make sense at all.
Why aren't they starved? Why aren't they stinking due to all the time they spent locked? Why are they just locked away? Why aren't they brainwashed like Cheren? Why aren't they dead?
This scene is just shock factor, garbage shock factor.
