| To be blunt, the most realistic portrayal of intelligence is the most practical. People seem to be under the misconception that intelligent is the equivalent of complicated. If there is an easier way of doing something that blows out into something complicated without good reason, I wouldn't call that being smart; in fact, that would be very dumb. |
AttackOnTetris said: Intelligence can't really be portrayed well in anime because if their thoughts really are that smart, the viewer probably wouldn't be able to keep up with them. word |
AttackOnTetris said: romagia said: near had all information gathered by L to work with tho The intelligence stats are garbage. The author of the manga said L was the smartest because the "plot requires it". L is smartest by Word of God, which is all that really matters. Actually, it doesn't matter. How intelligent a character is, is whatevert he author says it is. It's all arbitrary. It's more interesting what the intelligence means, rather than how intelligent the person is. |

| I thought that Light Yagami and L were a very realistic portrayal of intelligence, especially since they often explain how they come to the deductions they come up with. It did seem to me that Lelouch had no real basis for some of the deductions he made, he just out of nowhere made the right move. Death Note actually gives you the evidence ahead of time and leaves you guessing as to whether each of the respective character will figure it out or not. Both Light and L leave behind tiny little clues that the author makes you easily aware of but you wonder if the other will pick up on it. And its also realistic that even geniuses like Light and L will still make mistakes sometimes rather than making them godlike. |

| The question is: what do they try to portray? Do they try to portray realistic characters to begin with? Sherlock Holmes (yeah, it's not an anime, I know) wasn't meant to be realistically genius. Everybody who reads the books knows he can't be real. But there are different kinds of intelligence (for that matter, I don't talk about emotional intelligence): Solving mysteries, strategist, being able to build things. And yeah, it's not real classification, but usually, you can see this kind of classification when it comes to intelligent people on media. Though sometimes there are the known all genius. About doing stupid mistake despite being smart: I guess it depends on the kind of mistake, But let's be real, every genius person can have a mistake in his calculations (even it's not math). Luckily, those who calculated the way to the moon didn't have them... |

| I disagree that Hyouka, or most detective or mystery anime, represents intelligence accurately. You can easily follow their line of thought and come up with a million possible alternatives in real time, yet the characters are convinced that their ideas must be the right one. And conveniently, they are. That's not intelligence, it's plot armor. |

| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Monster has very well portrayed intelligent characters, they aren't borderline omniscient like for example Lelouch, but still make realistic deductions based on the informations available to them. |

I just know they got there. Anyway, just proves my point. |

It's more interesting what the intelligence means, rather than how intelligent the person is. The thing is, different people have different expectations about what intelligence is. Yudkovsky wrote quite a wall of text about how intelligence is a profound lack of stupidity and going along with the plot, and if an intelligent person makes a mistake - it is a reflection of his own prejudices and biases. On the other hand, I can tell you I've met a lot of people who are quite good at intellectual pursuits like science, but aren't living their lives perfectly. Or, you can watch Clockwork Planet. The science and technology inside don't make any sense whatsoever, but the main characters are two geniuses. Two totally different geniuses - one studied hard and mastered all technology while still a little girl, the other can just repair robots by the ear. I'd say it's all intelligence. Haneken2086 said: For the most part intelligence is used in an unnatural way, to outsmart rivals or find solutions to problems and mysteries. I can't think of any really realistic way that intelligence has been used in anime. Just what do you think is a "natural" way to use intelligence? |
| i think someone like kaiji is realistically intelligent. He is not all knowing, but he has a knack for solving puzzles. You can even say hes kind of a dummy and degenerate gambler a lot of the time, but when the chips are down hes a pretty clever dude. |

| Massive agree on Light and L, and also on [ ] from No Game No Life. The thing that makes these stand out is that when they do something smart, it's all fair play - and what I mean by that is that the viewer was given the information at the same time as the characters, and they're not relying on something that the viewer has no idea about that they've just pulled out of nowhere. Or, in a more active sense, they do something innovative with the resources given that fits entirely with the rules they're working under and is fully explained by what you already know. Examples - we know the government is working with L, and that he has quite large resources. The viewer might not have thought about broadcasting slightly different speeches to different parts of Japan beforehand, but once the reveal is made it's entirely reasonable to imagine it could be done without any extra ass-pulled capabilities. Or, [ ] deducing the nature of the Warbeast's game from information we the viewer already have, taken to a logical conclusion that fits within the special rules of the world they're in. So my contribution to the thread is Yasuri Nanami from Katanagatari - specifically in her fight against the Insect Squad. Mostly it's a showoff of how utterly unstoppable she is, but there is a moment right at the end that reveals how well she planned ahead for the whole thing. |
