To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dark Souls. The lore is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Buddhist philosophy most of the lore will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lothric's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Miura's literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the lore, to realize that they're not just funny - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dark Souls truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Solaire's existencial catchphrase "If only I could be so grossly incandescent," which itself is a cryptic reference to Tolkien's Middle Earth epic Lord of the Rings. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hidetaka Miyazaki's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ?? And yes by the way, I DO have a Dark Souls tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
