>>51129968>>51129972Everyone sane agrees that it's a bad design. Deal with it. You need an irrational emotional attachment to not see it. I picked that line for my first BW run because it was the best starter in theory but I don't let that disconnect me from reality.
>>51131997That forced pose is the only way you can make Samurott look good because it ignores the original awful anatomy and hides other design blunders (I know it's from the anime, it doesn't help your case), such as the clumsy integration of the blades in their arms (nobody cares that it's *supposed* to evoke the look of a war mount, it looks retarded in practice).
It's not wrong to like the concept of Samurott or enjoy the final result despite its flaws but treating it as a genuinely good design and pretending that it's misunderstood or that there is something wrong with the people who don't like it is what makes everyone consider you a bunch of idiots.
