Excellently pieced together, as usual.
Zavala was no doubt an imposing figure on the battlefield. He survived the battle of the Twilight Gap, after all.
What impresses me about him is his mind.
For him to be supported by new monarchy as a potential "king" shows that he is the real deal.
Only those with impeccable character would be accepted by [b]ALL[/b].
And the fact that he turned it down further reinforces his strength of character.
He should have no choice: he should be put in charge whether he likes it or not.

Only the People who deny great power deserve it

Seems to be that way. Weird
-
I love that he turned down the kingship, he's so principled. I think he's a smart enough cookie to know that absolute power is a corrupting influence. Granted, the City is basically an oligarchy which isn't the most progressive political system imaginable but at least the trio of Vanguard, factions and speaker provides something in the way of checks and balances.
-
Even if zavala was the "king", I don't think he would abuse it. He would stay the same. Making zavala the leader would bring the same result as kicking the speaker out. Zavala doesn't trust him. I think zavala would love to have higher priority than the speaker so that he can ensure the protection of the city

Lol you guys talk as if this characters wasn't scripted by someone at bungie, how can you take it so serious like it's actually real
-
You have no imagination I pity you
-
I kinda want to introduce this person to Alan Moore's views on fiction, myth and truth. I think his head would explode.

Editado por BRAX7ON 117: 6/8/2016 11:34:25 PMLol watchmen right? True story

Lol everyone has an imagination . I still play this game but I don't make it look like all the people in this game are actaul war heroes

I'm perfectly capable of discerning reality from fiction but just because fiction isn't real that doesn't mean it doesn't contain truths and things worth discussing. That's why people still watch/read Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Austen etc. Fiction has the power to move us and as such, character analysis is a perfectly worthwhile endeavour. If you don't enjoy it fine, you do you but don't sneer at people who do. If you don't care about the lore and character analysis, what are doing here? Did you just come here to point and laugh? Really? If that's the case, you really have no right to be calling people sad. Glass houses, stones and all that.

People pretend You judge them Which is worse?
-
It is in human nature to judge . Don't see what's wrong in that
-
Then you just do not know. But I will tell you now that no man should stand in judgment of another man. We will all be judged. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Let he who is without sin judge those who are sinners. Are you in a position to do this?
-
Okay father. Preach to the choir lol
-
-
It's real to me! Also...I wish they wrote books or comics about the vanguard. Man a graphic novel about the Battle of Twilight Gap would be noice!
-
Nooice!!!
-
Because fun, remember fun?
-
All too true. Still, a true leader leads. They cannot run from their responsibility. He doesn't need to be consumed with ultimate power, but he may very well be put into a position of leadership whether he likes it or not.

If anyone could resist the corrupting influences of power, Zavala would be the one, I don't think it's an accident that he's top of the list of New Monarchy's persons "of unimpeachable character." If there were a situation where he had to take charge, say, a second faction war or something, I don't think he'd shy away from it but I think he'd only hold on to absolute power as long as he had to (or at least I hope he would!). Ultimately, I see him as the sort of person who does what he thinks is best for the city at all times and I don't think he believes a dictatorship, however well intentioned is what's best. Benign dictatorships seldom stay that way and he knows this, either from studying history or seeing it first hand: "Didn't we have enough kings after the Collapse? Have we forgotten our history?" TL;DR: Zavala = A+ dude, top Titan.

Agreed on everything. I mean exactly what I was thinking 😊👍
