Eh, it's nice to see how they are perceived in Demacia and how their influence is felt centuries later, but it doesn't really solve the problem the bios have. Morgana still is shown as rather moderate in her beliefs and isn't given any real flaw, so the imbalance of portrayals is still there.
Also, although I do like the poem format, I feel it should use a more solemn style. It doesn't really read like a hidden exemplar of a poem about an epic tale as old as the kingdom.
I liked the stories. They kinda fit the impression Kayle and Morgana gave me the first time.
Kayle is an absolute, purging justice. It is not enough to kill a tyrant for he has built a corrupted kingdom and created a network of servants and SIC's that would gladly replace him and continue his twisted ways. Also never trust rebels who claim that they will be better once they have power: they lie. Therefore, she roots out not only the vile king but his subjects as well, leaving no trace of his reign and allowing those who remain start things anew while remembering that if the injustice starts again, she will fly down once more. This is a cruel thing, but sometimes this is the only way. Kayle is also a swift justice: she slays, not tortures.
Morgana is a more...personalized justice. She believes not in punishment but in leaving someone alone with their sins or putting them in the same situation to get the taste of their own medicine. This is a reformative justice that demands time and a more peaceful period. Also, unlike Kayle, Morgana torments and makes sinners suffer to remind them that everyone hurts and anyone can suddenly become helpless, at other's mercy anytime. Also, it does not really looks like she doesn't kill because she likes humanity: she just thinks that killing them won't be a good punishment (maybe it also the result of her loneliness and longevity).
I like the stories, but I still want to see Kayle’s redeeming qualities. I mean damn, the retribution was nice, but she still seems like an overzealous child. Surely she can take a more nuanced approach?
I don't get it, why are they called "color" stories?
the way i see it is:
kayle: actions speak louder than words, and ppl just wont change, she will do what it takes in the name of justice
morgana: ppl heart's speak louder than their actions, some ppl are capable of repentance and change
We out here burning heretics in (current year)
So to me, Kayle's story reads like she just started a fire that spread throughout the land, killing numerous innocents, and then the survivors praised her for it.
I guess, I'm on team Morgana now. Never thought I'd see the day.
I found the poem a bit weird to read, this probably comes from me not being a native english speaker but it didn't feel like a poem at all to me.
I liked that we got more light on Kayle's vision of Justice that makes it more relatable than: "Ima smite all sinners". Once again though we fail to see any flaw in Morgana which just keeps being the best one, the good one, the perfect with her only "flaw" being that she uses dark purple stuff as magic.
Still going for that Vengeance and Mercy thing, I see. Neither actually justice.
