Share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

FFX-2 gets a bad rap, but I’ve always enjoyed Yuna’s speech to Nooj. ‘We have no choice but to go along with this terrible terrible plan’ is a really common trope, and it’s not like there’s no value in acknowledging that sometimes all your options really do suck and you still have to pick one, but it’s so rarely done in a way that doesn't feel forced to me, and it’s nice for once to have a character go ‘nope, screw it, I’ve been down this road before and it blows’.

It’s also just a really good conclusion to Yuna’s character arc, from being willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world to talking Nooj out of a similarly self-destructive plan.
