pryotra:I’m honestly still annoyed that this scene was cut in the anime. Since it not only answers the question that Gudao couldn’t answer in the anime, but shows without a doubt why Gilgamesh is considered a hero to his people. What funny thing with Gil, is in some ways, he’s rewarded for the things that the traditional hero is punished for. Since we use a Greek model more often than not, we see hubris as the worst thing a hero can be, because it was the thing that got the Greek Pantheon angry. However, with Gil, the pride and ego to think that he could insult and defy Ishtar to her face when she demanded he sleep with her was actually seen as a strength in his myth, and a sign of why he was a great king and hero.Likewise in Babylonia, Gil’s ego is the thing that allows him to stand alone against three goddesses, including Ereshkigal herself, who was incredibly feared in Mesopotamia. In the end, it allowed him to face the primordial goddess of creation, proclaiming humanity’s independence.And to explain to her why. It wasn’t hate, it was the simple fact that for humanity to survive, they had to grow. What’s more, in Babylonia, this is sort of essential. Babylonia is the dawn of the Age of Man, the end of humanity’s ‘childhood’ of being stepped on by ever pantheon around the world. Where the Lynchpin that was mean to hold Heaven and Earth together became the Spear that separated them completely. That is why Gil has to say this to Tiamat.Because no matter what timeline, Singularity or not, it’s Gilgamesh’s actions that end up being what put humanity on their first steps to leaving the planet and beginning the Age of Will.❤ -- source link
