First in 1986, actually.
Ghosts of Sekiro, one of them had the wokeists up in arms based on who was making it.
Dunno if that was bigger, but Last of Us 2 was subjected to an even stupider controversy, just from those on the other side of the fence.
Seems more like hesitancy from the Japanese division president who when he saw the numbers was fine about it. A sort of hang over from how the industry was with the perception female lead games didn't sell.
Same difference. Still worried because they or he are afraid what happened that the main character is female. That the male gamers may not react positively or be disinterested Afraid they're not going to make all the money in the world or not make Call of Duty money.
Aloy can tick my boxes anytime...
That was only a controversy because outrage youtubers needed an "us-vs-them" narrative. Same reason weirdos kept trying to hype up Alita: Battle Angel vs Captain Marvel and Sonic the Hedgehog vs Birds of Prey.
Yo, but for real....Alita was a WAY better movie than Captain Marvel. Not for any woke reasons or antyhing like that, Marvel was just stupid.
It's okay, Crit, it's okay...we're all allowed to have wrong opinions.
It's okay to like fun garbage. Some of my favorite movies are garbage
Nah that happens with quite a few films and is done in the media most of the time.
You've argued on numerous occasions that one of your boxes that had to be ticked is 'cant be to muscular'. Hence, you needing a ruler to make sure Aloy's muscles werent too big
I bet it's a whale of a tale. But if it isn't Sharknado, something's fishy.Are you telling me your favorite movie is Sharknado!?
I'll say that Captain Marvel was a least trying to do something new with the Marvel formula.
These two movies were also pretty medicore. And it made Harley bland and boring... after being the best thing in Suicide Squad
...alright Longclaw, what have you been up to? 0_0
Sorry, what did Captain Marvel do particuarly differently?
Having a character so overpowered it made it so there was barely any threat and she just chumped the main villain of her film in seconds rather than there being any kind of climactic battle.
I didn't bother with either, I might one day bother with the Sonic movie out of curiosity but hearing Birds of Prey was bad and from what I've seen it looked bad (you know you fucked up when the CW version of character who was a side character in a CW show actually is doing a better job than the blockbuster movie looks to be.
Sekiro is soulsborne with ninjas and parrying, Ghost of Tsushima is breath of the samurai and that one was made by the west. Basically you had people crying about cultural appropriation and when people showed em glowing reactions from official Japanese sources praising the game's respect for Japanese culture you had americans of asian origin (not even just japanese/americans, all sorts of random asian origins) complaining about people not considering them "real" asians and overruling them with actual Japanese people from Japan, which then kinda spilled over into other debates.
