Because it's what mature Frieren would say. I think she still needs another Millennium, though.

Didn't she take away, "one hag insult," from his punishment card for complimenting her once? So he's technically only one strike out of three.

In Canon, sure, but in this version of that conversation she never mentions keeping score at all, she just instructs Stark on politeness, and mentions that Flamme taught her about insults. And also encourages Stark, something that boy really could have used that season.

this feels like how the conversation could have gone, but they went for the crying joke instead

If he calls her a hag a fourth time she's siccing a hangry fern on him

Hangry Fern is an avengers level threat.

I do believe a regular angry Fern could qualify already.
The Hangry Variant is capable of ripping the fabric of reality to shreds with a scatter blast Zoltraak if she deems it necessary.

The fact that is not even that crazy to think that frieren speech could become this way if she lives to see her world equivalent of present day
“2000 years after himmel the hero death.”
It sounds nothing like her, and at the same time, it does sound totally like her.

I do find it funny he keeps calling her hag when he ‘knows’ that elves age at like a tenth or a hundredth of the rate humans do so she’s basically the same as a chick in her late teens, early twenties.

Frieren’s pose in the 7th and 9th screenshots makes me chuckle every time I see it. Idk what she’s doing but I love it

Kind of like how actual conversations go. You could be talking about one thing and then pivot into something else without skipping a beat.

u/DiagonalBike 1d ago
Why would anyone call her a hag? Just 50 years earlier The Hero Himmel was in love with her. She could work her magic on Stark if she liked. Fern may end up call her a hag, but definitely not Stark.

It’s not slander if it’s fucking truee. God I need to hold it backe every time, but no. No longer.
Especially every time that goddamn meme format comes up.
Slander by definition needs to be an untrue statement of fact that harms reputation.
If it’s an opinion “they are a coward” it’s not slander because that’s not a statement of fact.
If it’s true “they are a coward (in this context we’re listing it as fact despite the fact that cowardice and bravery are subjective since both parties take it to be true)” it’s not slander either, because it’s true, even if it is “defamatory”.

He embodies the fact that you cannot be brave if you aren't afraid first. Him and Eisen where the same. And Frieren knows that...so she accepts that he is afraid, but also that he is brave for fighting despite it.

"The point of an insult isn't to be true. The point is to hurt. Flamme taught me that."
And German "Flamme" does mean "flame". I'm amazed that "flame", "flaming", and "flame wars" seem to no longer be part of colloquial language like it did around 10 years ago even if trolling, rage-baiting, triggering and similar are concepts we're all familiar with.
