I think this is a good article but...you really need to credit the source of the images used. I recognize most of them from the official fanart book, but it seems like there's also some internet fanart mixed in and unless you drew it yourself it's really uncool to post other peoples fanart without permission or credit.
I feel this article would feel a lot more professional if the images had sources because it currently just looks like someone's tumblr post. |

While F/Z certainly wants to portray team Waver/Rider as the one to root for and, therefore, puts emphasis on charisma instead of subjugation, they do make an effort to get some of the major traits right. Of course you have to be ruthless and hungry for power to conquer huge parts of what was then the known world. But I think the banquet of kings scene and several of his interactions with Waver do give a glimpse of that. F/Z's Alexander doesn't see it as his duty to protect his people or rule fairly and just, but to inspire others to dream through his own grandeur. He's quite honest and straightforward about that (making him so accessible), and he truly does inspire his master/retainer Waver that way. The historical Alexander must have had a similar influence on his followers while he was alive, and it didn't take long for things to fall apart once he was gone. Alexander was curious about the world and very adaptable at incorporating everything at his disposal into his strategies. F/Z has him study modern warfare techniques and geek out about them. He also seems to have been quite the party animal and certainly had the bromance down. All in all, I'd say that, even while glossing over the brutality, he seemed fairly well researched. I want to attribute these moments to Urobuchi's fascination with human nature (although there's no way for me to know), but when Rider learns about the true dimensions of the (modern) earth and reflects upon how his own conquests seem slightly more insignificant today, I though that was a nice commentary about his obsession with his own aspirations to become like one of his ancient heroes. After all, the question of what it means to be a hero is the major theme of this show. (Also, no need to rely on anime if you're pressed for time, there are so many great history podcasts out there dealing with Alexander. As Gabriella said, things like Game of Thrones do get their inspiration from somewhere.) Thank you for these articles, Gabriella, much appreciated, fun to read and informative. |

Note to the author:
About Gilgamesh in Fate/Grand Order. First of all it's the Android/iOS game Fate/Grand Order (not the iPhone, it even launched first on android and the iPhone is just one iOS product). Secondly there's only one Gilgamesh in it currently and you can't build a harem since the same servant can only be used once. Every card just has 4 ascensions which most of the time changes clothing and/or form. If you want a harem, there's currently 3 Cu Chulainn's in the game (stay night, prototype, grand order (as caster)) |

I tried to make a fan-fic of this a long time ago. Here's a list I came up with: Saber - James Bowie Lancer - Crazy Horse Rider - Headless Horseman Archer - Blackbeard the Pirate Berserker - Billy the Kid Caster - Tituba, Black Witch of Salem Assassin - John Wilkes Booth I don't remember the details on why I chose some of them. |
