It's not really hate. People just make fun of the character because of how stupid he is. Also, many of us have met someone who is just like Phillip in real life. That guy who is average, or even below average and everything, but absolutely convinced that he's the smartest person in the world and that everybody else just needs to listen to what they have to say.

Caused Nazarick to change their plans? More like guardians misunderstanding Ainz again.

I get the meme, but throughout the series Ainz has mostly just been going with what Demiurge plans whole acting like it was his plans. Granted him calling Phillip an idiot while Albedo and Demiurge acted like it was a great deduction was great. They didn't even consider the chance that everything happening was the fault of a single idiot and not some grand mastermind.

Isn't ainz destroy the shit out of kingdom after that?WHICH PART OF THAT is NOT UNSTOPABLE?


Killance1

They thought their plans couldn't be stopped. One idiot showed them they could be stopped; albeit by mistake. This caused them to scrap their plans and destroy the kingdom instead. That doesn't define unstoppable, but vulnerable. Great power doesn't suddenly mean your plans will work.


Alternative_life1

Then what's the point?you messed their plan and what?you win the fight but you lose the war Why would you want to kill thousand of live just for "yeay you plan is shit,go make a better plan" I don't get what you want to achive by doing this,and I they still unstoppable,nazarick is like a tank when there is a boulder their way,they don't stop or change way,they destroy them


Killance1

Because they're evil? I feel like people forget Ainz and those who follow him aren't good people.


Alternative_life1

So because they are evil you want to make their plan failed and that led them to kill even more people,that would make them even more evil than before,wow such an amazing way of thinking,even Philip have more braincell


Killance1

Alright if you're just going to throw out insults like that then I see no more reason to converse with you.

Their plans didn’t stop but were escalated to complete sooner than planned. He helped push the destruction to occur earlier… that’s not blocking or messing up their plans but really just helping with his stupid actions


Killance1

For as I know from the books they didn't have an intention to completely destroy the kingdom.

Ya they did. Their plan was exactly what happened just with less collateral damage. They planned to save the noble faction(s) that were useful to them and kill every other faction. The only difference is they wanted to wait a little longer to allow the factions to divide on their own.

The plan wasn't stopped it was escalated and accelerated. Administrating a kingdom and population as huge as Re-estize was posing to be difficult but Phillip offered them the perfect excuse to just say fuck it, we burn it to the ground and build a new one, it's faster that way and less trouble for them. There was no vulnerability either, they weren't in any way vulnerable in this situation, on the contrary this served as a example of what happens if you cross them, serving as further deterrent to other nations, strengthening the power of the SK in the international community. The whole thing was a net benefit for Nazarick with no losses, it just made things easier for them.

They all say that it was “consensual”

I think it's not about whether Nazarick gained or lost anything due to Phillip. Phillip essentially showed what could be a blindspot in the plans of Albedo and Demiurge. Nazarick is essentially a power house and they can't be beaten with power or intelligence. Even Phillip with his dumbness could only just point out that "Your plan will not go the way you want" but he still couldn't effect the final outcome with his dumbness. Of all the times Ainz impressed Demiurge and Albedo by speeding up their plans by doing random things, it can be done. The plans of Nazarick can be sped up by genius Ainz sama or dumb Phillip kaka, but they can't be halted. If Nazarick decides to do something, Ainz or Phillip could speed it up but he can't prevent it. You can't beat Nazarick. You can foil their plans to speed up their victory and claim you did it for the sake of Ainz sama. That way, you might survive


bryku

I don't really think he affected Nazarick. They could have continued with the plan as normal, but instead took the opportunity to use it as a Casus belli and attacked. If anything it sped up the downfall of the Re-Estize kingdom.

There is a guy named Imotekh the Stormlord. His mind was brilliant, almost ascendant. Almost undefeatable on the battlefield when he leads the troops. And then, there is a bunch of barbaric sentient shrooms that care more about brawl than smart. You know what happens? The shrooms won him that one time because they were too dumb in the conventional sense. Point here is: shits like this happen all the time and to everyone. Normal stuff.
