god phoenix and edgeworth must be underwhelming to law students who meet them

like, imagine you’re a student at themis and you’re going to a lecture, and you’ve heard about the hosts completely secondhand.

phoenix wright. the turnabout terror. the man who defeated manfred von karma in a court of law whilst making him confess to a fifteen year old murder. the one who convinced shelly de killer to abandon his contract and go after matt engarde with one piece of evidence.

miles edgeworth. demon prosecutor. chief prosecutor. the man who solved an international incident almost singlehandedly. the man who has publicly made it his mission to fix the legal system and destroy the darkness within it.

together, the most terrifying power couple in the la court system.

and then you go to the lecture and that impression lasts all of two seconds before they start bickering, and now phoenix is telling an anecdote about unusual reasons to become a lawyer prominently featuring the words “first crush“, and now you have literally no idea what to think.
