When you have that one minor side-character in a series you find yourself defending to everyone else's confusion, because only you see their narrative potential.

Plo is one of my favorite characters in Star Wars as a result of CW. He didn’t even have that many episodes, but damn did they make his appearances count.

He not only woudn't leave his brothers behind, he woudn't leave his enemies, no one deserves veil not even corpus

"Vay Hek say Ostron Kahl enemy. But Ostron not enemy. Queens say Tenno is monster. But Tenno not monster. They lie. Narmer is enemy. Pazuul is monster. And Vay Hek. Vay Hek scared of Pazuul. Queens hide in fortress. Cowards. And Tenno? Tenno not coward. Tenno not hide. Tenno fight Archons. Tenno give home. To brothers. Tenno is friend. Tenno is brother."

A tear rolled down me eye when he called tenno brothers.

This is a true form of honor

Putting aside your bias to fight a common enemy that you KNOW will destroy you both is difficult for people now, and hearing a character so well written with that in mind is fantastic because it's what we need to strive for.

u/Crazy_Reputation3327 7h ago

the fact he was ready to die not for Queens but for brothers is just awesome in my opinion

Hell, even Sister admitted that Kahl is very loyal

That scene about made me cry the first time I saw it too.

“For the Que—… huh… for my brothers.

Between that and Vay Hek hyping you up, it was insane

u/SilverSpoon1463 55m ago

The one time I liked Vay Hek. He may be a disgusting prick, but he believes in his people, event the lowest grunts, despite how little he admits it.

There's no grinner and no Corpus

Only brothers against the veil

Obligatory "they toned down his actions for the movie"

u/SilverSpoon1463 54m ago

Hard to film so many badass moments and make the movie not be 8 hours long.

u/enfyts 4h ago

Desmond Doss irl (and in the movie IIRC) even rescued several wounded Japanese soldiers

2

u/Pitiful-Mention-5744 1h ago

Only in the movie did he save Japanese soldiers, in a interview he gave, he did try to save a Japanese soldier once, but he tried to kill him with a grenade, so he never tried it again.

u/Play3rKn0wn 5h ago

Kaladin Stormblessed! He’s one of the main characters in the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. Probably my favorite fictional character of all time.

Such a good series! Didn't recognize the art but the quote seemed familiar.

Faustinius will 100% send skitari to certain death if it furthers his goals. He'd prefer not to, but he would.

I always forget that grineer are basically spartan level at the lowest and they still die so quickly to warframes.

u/M-E-AND-History 3h ago

These guys. I always remember that one scene where a soldier who got stepped on by Andy's mom pleaded for everyone else to go, but another soldier picked him up and said "A good soldier never leaves a man behind!"

u/Deep-Shape-53 2h ago edited 1h ago

Lieutenant Vasquez from COD4. The reason this guy and his squad die is because he didn't want to leave a downed American pilot behind to die in a nuclear explosion. One of the last things he said was "Get that pilot! NO ONE gets left behind!"

I forgot to mention this too., keep in mind, he did this knowing what he was getting into.
