Why do games where you rescue a princess or damsel in distress resonate with people so much?
>>
It appeals to my male power fantasy
>>
>>736286526
People like being heroic. There was a game on the switch called de blob where you saved people and it was loved.
>>
This was one of those fever dream movies you know you saw as a kid but can’t remember the name of.
>>
>>736286526
It's an easy concept to get behind for everyone
>men naturally want to protect women and children
>this woman or child needs help
>okay
>>
>>736286526

Because it's symbolism. The hero's journey is all about bettering oneself so that you can get the girl at the end and find true love.

Everyone saw Little Nemo, most anons have played the game.

I’d like to rescue that little slut from her virginity. With my dick. If you know what I mean.

>>736286743
Will she care that a wrestled a crocodile and won or was that for me?

That part where they're in those puffballs in the shade from the rain made me feel weird as a kid.

>digging a hole
True.

>>736287576
What about GO FAST?

>>736288404
It's digging a hole in the air

>>736288483
While fighting a last stand against drag and gravity. Slowly bleeding out your fuel.

So this is like Japanese animation right?
it's funny how anime came from japs trying to copy Disney but with washed out colours, less than half the frame rate and none of the fluidity and quality.
>>
>>736286526
Does it really anymore? Breath of the Wild was the last one I could think of and the running joke there is that she stays trapped in that castle while people chase side content and forget to ever save her ass
>>
>>736287576
>Crimson fists are the ideal male fantasy
Makes sense.

Who doesnt want to save a kingdom and rescue then marry a princess?
>>
>>736286526
Men have a desire to protect, women find strong protective men attractive.
Additionally, a lot of the time you aren't just saving a girl but a whole land too. You're fighting against some evil in the world.

I can relate to that boy. Giraffes freak me out too.

This film might be the most striking example of wasted potential I can think of.
