This totally shuldn’t be a reply to your post, but a comment on the article. Got Kinja’d.

I’m just sitting here, wondering a) Why the hell? and b) WHAT POST-APOCALYPSE. You can’t just have stuff being post-apocalyptic without an apocalypse. Why would Flash, in Central City, go “oh yeah I should totally add some scrap metal and rust to this suit, that’ll be COOL.”

That poster seemed cool at first, but then I noticed the butt of the rifle and the contours of the right-most dude, and now I only see poor cut-n-paste-work. The rifle may be legit, but in my eyes it really sticks out as somehting copypasted together in photoshop.

“everything in our universe is matter.”

Yeah! Except... all those things that aren’t.

Also, the world undeniably and instantly unraveling on a set date would be a relief.

Video games? There are D&D video games? Give them to me.

I mean I know about Baldurs gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale and whateverthehell DND online is, but are there like... good, modern games?

I fail to see how all these registrations are that bad, be it mutants or superhumans. In the case of mutants, it’s like... We all ready register who you are at birth. Weight, born where, to whom, how you look, how much you way. Is it unreasonable to also have it on file that Little Bobby can expllode peoples minds or…

I think, and hope, that they go the route of aging superheroes. It would fit the movie, and the movie would be the perfect vehicle to deal with issues of superheroes who once became irrelevant due to their era reaching its natural conclusion, then reluctantly made their way back in to the spotlight, and are now…

I do. I do think it’s an issue, but one of idealization, not objectification. I am also well aware of differences between looking and acting young. Sometimes they correlate, sometimes they are causalities, sometimes not.

That’s sort of the point with insurance. To have them but rarely need them, and to have them for those few times when you can’t anticipate the disaster.

I think we’re doing ourselves a disservice by pawning it off as an aspect of Japanese culture. Pretty much the same things, some differences in execution, some differences in medium perhaps, but largely the same themes of sexualization, objectification, infantilization etc. are present in pretty much all culture that…

Whether or not it’s possible to recreate in movies isn’t really the issue though. It’s rather a matter of infantilization in media, i.e. making people appear juvenile or childish in appearance, at least in terms of face and manneurisms, often while still having adult, so to speak, bodies. It’s not isolated to games,…

As always, the comment section is full of well-balanced comments. Yes.

This is pretty uncomfortable, but not unreasonable. Off the cuff it feels a bit thick, but well balanced between the “G” and the “le”. And it makes technical sense, as well, I guess. In addition, the new typeface promotes the colours of the brand…

She doesn’t look like a child!!!! infantilization in media is not a thing!!!!!! because I say so!!! /s

And yeah, I fully expect all your replies of how I should go toss myself off a cliff and take my unfair SJW Hitlerian agenda with me, coupled with all the usual excuses and profanities.
Knowing this, you can take those replies and stuff them in advance of writing a reply. Thank you.

Frankly, this combination of an increasingly-adult body (rather, male-gaze caricature. Real adults rarely have such bodies.) coupled with a face that is infantilized.

It’s a downright scary development. I don’t want characters in media to be children with sexualized adult bodies, thankyouverymuch.

So it’s like pre-ordering combined with a shitty MLM scheme.

That last one. Glorious case of malicious compliance.

All of these were glorious. Yes.

I think this is a really cool theme, and from a lore/story point of view a very good finish.

Only problem is that I desperately need a job so I can buy this, and the rest of the DLC:s, and the game.

It’s like a really really really REALLY pissed off Dalek.
