@reverseics now i cant stop thinking about the prop masters for that remake. someone had to have like two dozen exploding dicks. it would have taken testing, squib placement, fake blood dosing - like, thats work. some people spent days/weeks perfecting dick explosions for this to happen.

i salute their commitment to filmmaking excellence

@Viss Not only continued sexualization, but continued removal of her very independence, akin to the very material her creation and characterization was inspired by: Ridley and the Alien franchise.

Ridley's independence was slowly being peeled back in favor of adding a cast of obvious expendables who were merely there to make her look better without any effort by the writers, or to prop her up as some sexualized trophy to be obtained in the third movie. Hell, they fucking cloned and lobotomized her in the fourth Alien movie (which I couldn't even make it past the scene where she's being taught how to say "fork" and ends up saying "fuck", which hey, bimbofication was not at all on my bingo card).

And now with Metroid, whaddya know, Prime 4 seems to be taking Samus in this direction too. And don't get me started on Other M and how much more explicit it was with sexualizing Samus while making her subservient to a male superior. Ugh. Makes my skin crawl.

@Viss it is really incredible. my favorite is the very end as robocop slowly gets in the car while the door ajar chime is ringing…

@mast0d0nphan @Viss I mean I didn’t have any expectations for Team Ninja and they still managed to not meet them.

The annoying sidekick guy in 4 is shocking, though.

@reverseics i cant imagine actually 'doing stuff' in that suit is easy. its like wearing rolly luggage on every part of your body

[viss@mastodon.social]

@cR0w you know, it really does say something that they have near limitless resources and money, but what we see in the news and on the network is how they put those resources to use
