Huh. Jokes made in jest to one's confidant of (at least) 25 years, and clashes against the commanders of enemy armies going out of their way to tear apart the world. Is this the sort of thing that leads to the "Goku is a Deadbeat Dad" / "Even Cannon Cloud was Angsty for No Reason" memes?
Granted, I do agree that not acknowledging her trickster nature or forgetting how uppity she can be at times (ma'am) does do a diservice to the depth of her character, but with the bad does come the good of her care for humanity being because she's fully aware of how flawed all the Gods are, and is the only one of them with any real pity for the humans who get caught in the divine struggles, trying to help them and all.
There's also the fact that Palutena's dialog in the American versions is much more teasing than it is in the Japanese versions. And while I used to think that sort of thing didn't matter, the Paper Mario Games have been a good reason for me to rethink that.

As for this thread, I just had a funny thought. Could you imagine, when Palutena was being shown off, if she'd been able to channel all of her Powers, rather than having been the showcase for Custom Moves? I bet Palutena with the ability to switch between specials would have been no less broken than Bayonetta. Heh.
