    The first one was up there with "It Follows" for a unique horror movie. I really enjoyed it.

    If everyone is back for this one with the same energy I'm game.

    I'm so excited for HDD2U. I did a Halloween viewing party for the first one and it totally holds up on repeat viewing. Jessica Rothe totally sells the premise.

    Okay I know it's time to talk about Captain Marvel but the DoA movie was a lot of fun...

    It looks like Samuel L. Jackson is in Captain Marvel quite a bit.

    I wonder how much of the budget was spent on de-oldenizing him.

    Also I'm kinda hoping that was Ronan at 1:45.

    They've already confirmed Ronan and Korath are in there.

    I wish they would do something silly like show him de-aged for a few minutes before saying he is wearing an old person disguise to justify not doing it after that like the reverse of the actor who played the old guy in Back to the Future making some justification for why he didn't look as old in the sequel.

    Mortal Kombats trailer had some of the worst music to action I've seen in a video game trailer.

    Far Cry continues to make some more than questionable narrative choices

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    What's questionable about the Far Cry trailer?

    Minority villains literally assaulting white people trying to rebuild the world to take or destroy it? Its basically a Trump ad.

    Yeah that's certainly a take I hadn't considered. It's funny because most of the outrage I've seen on comments in other places has been the other way, angry that a storied game franchise could stoop so low as to include women and minorities.

    I mean they literally attack a wall to get inside... Like this is a thing in the trailer

    This is on top of far cry 5 basically having the player be the bad guy and wrong and the right wing murder cultists be correct. With a stinger in the trailer that like the "bad guy" of 5 also being this game but horrified at the outcome because what minorities took over?

    Yeah. I saw the cover image and thought surely they won't have those two be the antagonists.

    While I'm sure some people on Twitter would disagree with me, something like the Vox Populi in Bioshock Infinite is not problematic (ignoring whatever the hell it was that happened in Burial at Sea). But when it's black women wrecking your white civilization in the wilderness for literally no reason, well...

    I don't know, I think there's some major conclusion jumping happening here based on a 2 minute trailer.

    I saw them attack a fortress which is a pretty common thing that occurs in Far Cry games. I don't quite see that as a metaphor. Nor do I think we quite understand the ethnic background of any of the trailer characters.

    Like do you guys think Ubisoft is literally putting out a title meant to vilify people trying to come into the US?

    I get where the interpretation is coming from but it feels like a reaaaaaaaal stretch for me.

  • Options
    AlphaRomeroAlphaRomero Registered User regular
    If you want to complain, look to the white male main character who will end up murderizing the pair of them.

    The mixed group of people defending the walls and tying the antagonists to Trump stuff is a reach.

  • Options
    JusticeforPlutoJusticeforPluto Registered User regular
    This is a hell of a reach. I though it was pretty progressive to see a female black villian. I can't remember the last time I saw one.

    And if ND is like 5, you'll be able to make your character.

  • Options

    There is nothing progressive about making a minority a villain? Like that is pretty much a common thing in film, media, and even games.

    What "White Civilization" did you see in that trailer?
    I'll give you that the main villains appear to be black but again I'm not sure that symbolizes anything particularly meaningful. And it's not for "no reason". It's because it's a post-apocalyptic hellscape and they are apparently some type of warlords.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% for people's criticism of Far Cry 5 and what it could have done better with its narrative. I just think it's way too early to jump to the conclusions being jumped to here based off of a 2 minute trailer.
