The point of the show isn't whether Tylor is a genius or an idiot. It is the fact that he is genuinely a kind hearted guy who just wants to live his life. He doesn't really want to hurt anyone and he is heroic when he has to be. The moral isn't "Be an idiot, you'll be fine" it's more just "Live your life the way you see fit and being a nice guy has benefits". I think you really missed the mark well analyzing this series.It's kind of like reviewing "Nightmare on Elms Street" based on the romance.

@epicmaczorz I can partially see what you mean but I feel your placing my perception way too off with that comparison. Every single character and major plot point revolved around his mental capacity. That's not missing the mark, that's stating the story as everyone and the show itself has stated since they first introduced him.

hmm sounds awesome ill give it a watch when im done with my current set

@BionicSlime - It's very debatable in either direction. In episodes where he's either trying to be serious or controlled into being more serious, he is extremely perceptive and inspiriational. That trip to his mind also shows he is at least aware he comes off as an idiot.

That being said, some of his actions also don't agree with being a genius. Some actions would require omniscience to pull off. And some of them make no damn sense at all.

@rhubis Although this is only speculation and not actually mentioned in the series i like this theory. Watching the series a second time with this in mind just makes everything better somehow, it makes Tylors supreme luck make sense as well as the main drive of the plot. Its all about the character growth. But of course since its not mentioned then it just makes it a nice theory.

[rhubis]

An argument i've seen is that Tylor is enlightened, being stupid or smart doesn't matter because he's following a path to improve the lives of the crew and help them reach enlightenment (and through the series the various characters grow and become better people because of him or his stupid actions, solving the problems himself wouldn't help them). This even makes the intro make some kind of sense (leading the crew up the path of light for instance).

@BionicSlime Eh actually I see this as more of a parody of Captain Harlock if you ask me

[BionicSlime]

@omarct on an ad with a cute girl in it, didn't think he would DIE in a WAR, he didn't know a room was on fire while he was IN IT, and worst of all, he was actually shocked when he got a court Martial for releasing the empress....what did you THINK would happen? I know why he released her but to honestly believe that nothing bad would happen to him by doing that is retarded in and of itself. We don't know fighting them would have been useless, he didn't bother to try anything else to find out.

[BionicSlime]

@omarct Watch Trigun and then watch this show and tell me there is a debate on whether or not he knew it. Vash purposely acts like a fool and hides what he can really do. Tylor has rarely done anything to make us think he is anything but a fool, it's not a matter of a million other options its a matter of actually TRYING, which is something he has never done throughout majority of the show. The show always mentions luck with him, not skill, not hidden talent, luck. Tylor joined the army based

[omarct]

@BionicSlime What other choices did he have? You are acting like he had a million options and chose the dumbest one, he didnt, he chose the safest option, which was surrendering. Whether he knew that the gift was something bad or not can be debated. Well w/e this anime is open this way so that there are people who think he is a complete retard that wins by accident, or a smart guy that just doesnt give a fuck and is just going with his instincts.
