Alternate Character Interpretations.
For example: Is Godot the tragic lover of Mia Fey that is driven by his passions or is he an obsessive curmudgeon that blames Phoenix Wright less for not protecting her and more for the fact that he's replaced him as the primary object of her affections, even post demise?
Zak Graymere? Tempermental showman or jerkish lout who abandoned his daughter and considers her less important than avenging a seven year old poker defeat?
Share your various theories, no matter how outlandish. Just make sure you add at least a paragraph to justify your interpretation.

Anyway...
Detective Gumshoe. Is he just a scatterbrained lout, or does he only act imcompetent so that he can get attention from Miles Edgeworth? (some shippers would support this)
Or perhaps the "cheif detective" made Gumshoe this way. Under orders from Gant, he may be hypnotizing his subordinates with the Blue Badger to make them not work at ther full potential. This may explain why the force is so incompetent after the SL-9 incident. And Gumshoe may just be an innocent victim of brainwashing.

Detective Gumshoe
Is not actually a rotten Detective or a poor police officer. In fact, he's surprisingly good at his job. Detective Gumshoe, unfortunately, comes from the 'Streets.' Mostly used to dealing with drug pushers and other obvious crimes, Detective Gumshoe is often bedazzled by the weird and Byzantine nature of the pre-meditated crimes that are usually found in Phoenix Wright's courtroom.
Furthermore, he only has only day to investigate each of the crime scenes he's involved in and his poor track record with guilty parties is mostly a function of the fact that he doesn't have time to formulate out any other possible suspects but the most obvious ones. His continued investigation, often days after the crime has been brought to court, reflects his genuine devotion to his duty.

I actually find this one incredibly easy to believe and characterize as well, though as I don't see any hint of MiaxPhoenix even when squinting, I'd personally replace "affections" with "attentions."
Considering that Phoenix knew Mia five years while Diego knew her, most likely, for about a year and a half, and considering that Mia was to Phoenix what Diego was to Mia, annnnnd knowing Diego's rather territorial personality, I find it impossible to believe that there's not at least a little bit of jealousy and resentment in there.
I also feel that Godot uses "Trite" as a scapegoat to, at least in part, keep from feeling betrayed by Mia's (a) hiring Phoenix even though he unwittingly hid the bottle of poison and (b) teaching Phoenix things about defending that she learned from him, such as always smiling no matter how bad it gets, etc.

Anyway, more on topic, I see the Judge as having a lot more in his bonce than he appears. You can't become the Great Judgini overnight afterall. I don't think he's putting the senility on, but I do think that he plays it up to throw others off guard.
In short, he's the best judge they've got, because he always was. :)

Many people believe that Klavier from Apollo Justice Ace Attorney is actually faking his German accent. The theories range from Klavier actually being from Germany, but speaking just fine and only exaggerating his accent for effect, to Klavier being born and raised in the United States and not even speaking German. A few facts are usually used as evidence:
* Klavier's accent is incredibly inconsistent. He speaks perfectly normal English most of the time, with occasional lapses into a very mild version of Poirot Speak. Other than using "Ja" for "Yes" and calling people "Herr" and "Fräulein" (the latter having its own problems for a supposed native speaker of German), he doesn't have much of an accent at all.
* He's a rock star as well as a prosecutor and might well have decided to fake such a thing for his image.
* It would be very difficult to name a kid "Klavier" in Germany. There are in fact specific rules for what children can be named; you can't just up and decide to name your kid "Piano" because you want to.
* All that and the fact that his own brother speaks (apparently) perfect (American) English all the time.

Oops. Read "She was getting it for Pearl, not for herself"
Probably what et91 isn't really an alternate interpretation (since that's how she's portrayed) so I assumed that your post would be something different, an alternate interpretation, and that's how I read it ^^'

I've noticed fans depict Doctor Grey as a monstrous boss who drives his Nurse to a horrible crime and who got what was coming to him. In fact, Doctor Grey is a caring physician who is rightfully upset that his entire life was destroyed by a nurses' act of gross negligence. He just has House's bedside manners.

Alas, this is what I get for loving a villain who most definitely doesn't fall under Draco In Leather Pants...what I was complaining about was when Phoenix Wright characters are written with all the depth of cardboard.

I wouldn't say that. A lot of the characters have a great deal of depth. It's just noteworthy that Manfred Von Karma is a controlling perfectionist in all things. Damon Gant, for example, could have a wonderful relationship with his children because he's basically the guy from Minority Report in that he's willing to do anything to put away criminals for good. Manfred's problem isn't ideology, it's that he's insanely arrogant and concerned about his image as the perfect prosecutor.
Trying to give him a pet the dog moment with his children would ignore that he took his revenge on Edgeworth, an innocent child that he raised.
