Despite how much left leaning Americans pretend they are worldly, the lense they view the world is still as American-centric as the very people they hate. Its just Americans exceptionalism but applied in reverse.

how is god of a war, a fanfic tier with literal all gods mashed together, and adaption?
also el shaddai is not even remotely close to god of a war and also it's obscure game.

That's a retarded angle. Obviously every piece of media is fiction and if you are trying to say "it's just a primal beast bro", then the primal beast is supposed to be composed LITERALLY of the beliefs the people had about a deity.
Ergo, the representation and mythos of Ra in Granblue is exactly that, and no hurdles you want to jump to justify it will change that they grabbed a figure of power and dignity and turned it into pedophile fapbait with a mental disorder just because it sells to the inbred japanesse hikkikomori crowds.
Unless you are trying to argue God of War is an adaptation of mythos out of fucking everything, in which case I will laugh at you and be done.

>then the primal beast is supposed to be composed LITERALLY of the beliefs the people had about a deity.
The beliefs of the people of Egypt who do not exist in the setting of Granblue Fantasy?
>Unless you are trying to argue God of War is an adaptation of mythos out of fucking everything
God of War's setting is the mythology of our world. The character named Zeus is supposed to be a depiction of the Zeus of Greek mythology. If there was a character in Granblue FANTASY who was named Zeus but was a tiny loli in a slingshot bikini who was bad at cooking, that would not be Zeus of Greek mythology.
Don't be a retard.
>>
>>740212518
I am sure God of War, where the God of War is not the God of War and also jumps mythologies around to murder people that aren't even in the same timeframe as the other mythologies, is intended to be taken as the de-facto re-enaction of a given mythological piece.
I specially liked the part where Loki is a 10 year old kid instead of a shapeshifting mentally deranged murderous cunt that turns into donkeys to swing his cock around to marry giantesses.
>>
>>740212696
Okay so you are being retarded on purpose to justify your weeaboo approaches to fiction, without even knowing how the argumentative fiction of Granblue works. You do you, mate. I knew this was a bait thread, but I am not staying to actively waste time in pointless followups.
>>
>>740212697
>>740212801
It's very funny that you first tried to claim that an unrelated fantasy character in a fantasy game was a depiction of Ra of Egypt, and now suddenly you've whipped around and are trying to claim that a character named Kratos from Greece and a character named Loki from Scandinavia are not supposed to be Kratos and Loki. There's no logical consistency in your bitching because you have a rotten jewish soul and you're just looking to defend your disgusting "culture".

You're trying to argue that an anime girl in a fantasy setting who happens to be named Ra is a depiction of the Egyptian god Ra, and simultaneously argue that the shapeshifting half-giant Loki from Scandinavia is not supposed to be Loki from Norse mythology.
You don't see an issue here, and you don't think anyone will notice what you're doing, because you're jewish.

>>740213037
No, you brainrotted inbred and/or probably a faulty AI arguing with me; what I very specifically and literally said is that if you count what is very clearly not intended to be a depiction of accurate mythos (God of War) as something to get pissy about, you should be getting pissy about the Japanesse doing the literal same in any other instance (Granblue Fantasy, Fate/Stay Night, literally every other piece of japanesse media) except the nitpicked example.
You don't get to complain about one and ignore the other because one did not need to slap you accross the face and remind you that it's not supposed to be accurate to the source.
For your own health, get a tumour check on your brain.
>>
>>740213202
>if you count what is very clearly not intended to be a depiction of accurate mythos
But it is. God of War is explicitly supposed to be about real world mythology. It's not a completely unrelated fantasy setting with characters who just so happen to be named after gods from real world mythology.
Dishonesty and arrogance are your nature, jew.

and also they self-insert in the game, every single fucking weebshit game is YIIK, but fucking weeb version

Asian devs are so desperate for, and deficit of deities and pantheons that echo the natural world. There are hundreds of American authors who have invented new compelling gods, which have closer ties to the egregores passed down through the millennia.

And related, you understand that Sephiroth is the ONLY mythical character to come out of japan that's survive until today; nothing like Super Man or Thor or even Kratos - Because JP doesn't *strengthen* its own mythologies. (I digress, Goku is fucking legit)

If these snoy games had an electric guitar that shoots bats there'd absolutely be some off hand comment like

Same with the hat in DMC5. Dante just starts getting funky. No comment, no witty retort, just jammin'.

>>740209136
I mean, sure. El Shaddai takes plenty of liberties. I doubt Enoch being a metrosexual man guided by pre-fall lucifer across realms like bottom of the ocean to futuristic cities is accurate to be book of demon.
But the broad strokes are definetely there. Specially the sequel novel.

You're getting mad over an original character from a fantasy setting who happens to be named after a Jewish concept. Namesakes =/= depiction; it's merely a reference. Also, Kazuma Kaneko's depictions of mythological Gods are literally some of the best ever, and Persona's understanding of Tarot literally comes from fucking Carl Jung.

The game looks fun, it literally doesn’t have any woke bullshit in it in the slightest. Why are you niggers projecting so much? I didn’t see a single thing in the trailer that could be interpreted as woke. Having a female lead is not woke by default. People complain about the cube but in the previous games we had a quippy talking head and yet almost no one had a problem with.
People also complain that Fey is ugly, no, she just looks average. Freya and Sif are also a similar looks level. Women in the latest GOW games aren’t known for being particularly attractive, but honestly who cares? Why is this suddenly an issue now? Fey is supposed to look like a mom because that’s exactly what she is, not a super model, holy fucking shit.
