How do we go from this...
>>746010890...to this?
>>746010914>Woke even makes men wear more clothesIt's over, isn't it?
>>746010946I also want men to wear a burka. Why should only women be censored?
>>746010946Actually, in Golden Axe 2 they dressed like that to prove they weren't copy pasting the game.And seeing how they mention they have killed Death Adder series is GA2+3 with everyone ugly for the extra furries.The writing will still be filth tho.
>>746010914Ewwww dogshit Calarts tumblr vomit.More layoffslop.
>>746010914>they had to add donut steel jeet>it's holding a dagger with two handsmy fucking sides
>>746011282Don't have the pic, but the girl is princess carrying the barbarian in one of the scenes.It's tiresome
I'm getting deja vu.
>>746011385what is with Westoid cartoon animators and fucking fart and shit fetishesJesus
>>746010914The only good design here is the skeletons.
>>746010890>perfectly healthy and confident people>>746010914>retarded cuck fags with disappointed girl bossI hate leftists so fucking much.
>>746011651Don't worry, they'll make the skeletons gay too
Dwarf's leotard is kinda gay, I would've changed that.Now that we know how weak bodybuilders are, I would've made Ax look more like a strongman, but he and Tyris need to lose the American Gladiator outfits>>746010914this is just the worst of all worlds right here
>>746010914jews, women and jews
>>746011739>Dwarf's leotard is kinda gay, I would've changed that.He's wearing a leotard? I al;ways thought a tunic. He should stop wearing fetish gear for gacha thots
>>746010914Words can't describe how much I hate that artstyle. At least they didn't completely cover up the characters (from what I see).
The left only knows how to destroy
>>746010914Who was this even made for?
>>746011602The fart didn't actually happen, but the animation was so shitty that someone easily made it so she farted. Otherwise she was just pretending that she was talking out of her ass.
>>746012951It's the typical>we already have the nerd audience so let's just make this shit for fags and womenshit. But I really don't know who the fuck would give a shit about Golden Axe in 2026. There's no real core audience. And the new audience won't give a fuck either.
>>746010914>watch the trailer out of curiosity>sounds exactly like the meta, marvel, sarcastic quipfest bullshit i expectedIs there ever gonna be a time when this stuff is considered box office poison?
>>746013142These retards don't careThey will push this shit until bankruptcy
>>746011978>The left only knows how to destroyThe bigger problem is how many idiot normies keep buying Leftist media anyway. The recent success of that shitty The Odyssey movie is quite telling. And its even worse with trusted established brands like Disney, stop taking your families to Disney movies and shit like Kingdom Hearts!Sadly humans are disgustingly stupid animals. Can't blame the Jews for thinking the way they do.
>>746010890screeching prudes
I have goyllennial fatigue
Only grandpas played this game.
>>746014386so why make the animation appeal to woke adhd zoomers
>>746014451because woke adhd zoomers LOVE games they've never played.
>>746014451uh um um hum uh *explodes into broccoli bits*
>>746014451Because they love taking stuff from the past and turn it gay, for the modern audience

when did the American animation industry just completely go down the toilet?
>>746015591>picAlways love to see it
>>746015646When nepobaby trust fund kiddies were nepotized into the entertainment industry by their rich parents to roleplay being progressive wine socialists at arts because they have no real talent and it's easiest to bullshit your way in arts.
>>746010914I don’t know what this is, thankfully I’m not forced to consoom it like others in the thread seem to be.
>>746015361another day of job hunting, sis? I'm sure getting a 15th company shut down will do the trick this time
>in their trusty mutant evil thingies xD>Like the game? Heck yeah! Lets freaking goooooI just know the writer is a woman with purple hair and tattoos. Don't try to correct me because I am that certain I am right.
>>746015710I wonder if this is why painting, sculpture, classical music, opera, etc. all have that "premium" feel to them and attract a lot of wealthy people as patrons.You can't nepo baby your way through a piano concert, or making a chair that people buy for 5 grand.
>>746015970What about a söy beta cuck?Also a possibility
>>746010890America no longer looks like that.
>>746015970the writers are on imdb for itrick and morty, american dad, and polly pocket pedigree here
>>746016174america never did.you imported all your strongmen and bombshells (and manlets) from europe.
>>746016174Yeah, over a thousand years ago perhaps.>>746016238Confirmed for jackass.
>>746016268it's funny how I can just look at that bottom image and I just also know how most of them will talk.
>>746016035Yes, but even the premium feel has been lost when it comes to "elite" appealing art because a good portion of them turn into degenerates and retards mindbroken by drugs and other compensation methods for material wealth leaving a satisfaction void in their chests and minds. The premium used to take a lot of effort and creativity on account of artists, so genuinely talented artists could be filtered out easily. Advancement of technology upended that. Now it's a money laundering industry where value is arbitrary and abstract so the scope of what can be sold with money can be widened. Ironically the wine socialists suddenly turn into the most hyper"capitalist" pieces of shit imaginable with corporate marketing, PR games, and moneygrubbing and profiteering schemes. See for example Pedos of the Coast and D&D and Hasbro above them in the past few years.
If you guys weren’t a bunch of homo shitters and actually played vidya you could probably play through a Golden Axe game or two in the time it would take for this thread to hit bump limit/slide off the board.

>>746016268Out of all genres why are they trying to faggotize fantasy?
>>746015081It's always been gay. Trust me, I'm 46
>>746010914This is the most amount of skin a woman in a piece of Western media has been allowed to show for over a decade by now.Grim.
>>746017062Because it's been male dominated for decades and women and trannies need something else to ruin.
>>746010890>>746010914>Japanese game series inspired by Western fantasy>But it's the old pulp kind of fantasy that is completely lost in most Westerners nowadays>Meanwhile, the medium of animation is seen as "either for kids or ugly sitcoms because we view animation as a joke" in the West, unless you're Genndy>So the cartoon adaptation is an ugly comedy cartoon that looks like BrickleBerryIn an ideal world, a Golden Axe show would look like Bakshi's Fire and Ice or evey an attempt to mimic Genndy in generalBut nope, you get what you get because people have basic tastes and knowledge of the mediums they work on and the material they're adaptingThis is also why the Mario movies turn the Nintendo characters into Disney/Dreamworks adjacent archetypes and why something like the new Doom games take influence from the MCU
>>746018946fuck Genndyfuck Bruce Timm>muh everything is a squaregarbage

This board is exhausting to browse.
>>746013379Normalfags tend to have a 3 fuck up limit before name recognition or momentum gets used up. The first fuck up gets completely ignored as confirmation bias smooths over all the flaws, the second gets a begrudging pass because they don’t want to admit they got tricked twice, and the third one is where they finally admit the product is shit.Nolan is still a normalfag darling so he would have had to have done something magnitudes worse to erase all that good will in one movie.

>>746010914Cal Arts. Everything is political.
>>746020272fuck off then?
>>746010914America has no respect for animation. Nobody has a vision that goes beyond toilet humor, satirical sitcoms, and cash grabbing capeshit. The best we ever get is the occasional well-written children's show.
>>746016380>>746016268I don't even mind niggers or gay undertones between men or women, my major gripe is about how comical, cartoonish, infantilized it seems. It's like when people compared the change of artstyles in shit like Battletoads, for example.Got it, videogames are usually aimed to kids, teenagers, manchileds, and you don't want to lose that audience. But where's the attitude, live and contrasted colours, shadows, a sense of danger, some semblance of seriousness and commitment from the displayed characters? All i see now is washed up palletes and fucking Fairy Godparents levels of drawing, instead of something that could actually come right from a proper painting (especially appreciated in a genre like fantasy)
>>746010914You know the answer - evil cannot create, it can only corrupt the thing what forces of good have created

>>746018946What confuses the shit out of me is why Golden Axe? They could have memed another series like Conan or Turok. Or made something new like Dave the Barbarian.
This is what they are calling a "modernization of the character"
>>746020945Well, in retrospective, i wouldn't have minded this artstyle instead. Sure, it's not the same, but an effort was made to keep the SOVL within (even if it's arguable that they ultimately failed at it)
>>746010914I can only hope the animators are too lazy to include Dora in this.

>>746010890>>746010914Self awareness and taking everything as a joke is what´s killing high fantasy. It´s honestly so fucking cringe how stories and worlds can´t be taken seriously unless they take shit to the extremes of horror fantasy.What baffles me is that we live in an age on which it should be possible for medium production companies to make something that sits in the middle. I guess there is just not a large enough audience for it.
>>746018946Fuck off, weeb. Japan is woke like the rest of the world in 2026

>>746022008Thank WoW for it.
>>746021942DMC isn't over the top? Ok. Anyways, we've had plenty of games that are insanely over-designed and over the top. Vaniquish, Armored Core 4A and 6, Final Fantasy, the list goes on. I just feel that nitpicking at overdesigned armor is fucking silly.
>>746022312I would actually call Devil May Cry "campy" instead of "over the top." Over the Top takes itself seriously while campy isn't afraid of laughing at its one ridiculousness.
>>746022436at its own* ridiculousness.

Still, it's undeniable that even my picture can be considered a major downgrade and relevant to the rest of my argument. Even Streets of Rage managed to make it work a little, but this was too much

Are ANY of the Golden Axe games actually good, even among beat em up lovers I rarely have seen them mentioned at all
>>746015081This was a fucking travesty. The GoldenAxe show looks like it's going to have annoying "ironic" GenX writing but at least it isn't afraid of making Tyris look like a woman.
>>746027129>like a womanLol
>>746027286Compared to what they did to Teela in the He-Man reboot she absolutely does
>>746010914This is the result of putting moderniggers in charge of things. They can't do anything right, and they cannot create. Only destroy.
>>746010890What I wanted was a new Golden Axe game made by the team who made Streets of Rage 4.
>>746020945i really fucking hate this trend of just endlessly decorating the characters with accesoriesthe first guy is literally just a guy with the bare minimum of clothing and just a sword, a couple of bracelets and that's it. Unnecessary detail i guess would be the wordlike the shield on the bad guy, why does it need to have an evil face on it, why does the guy's belt need a face on it, why does everything need to have a symbol or a gem attached to itsimplicity isn't always bad but these fucking retards think it will make the drawing less special or something
>>746027357Teela was literally, and that’s not hyperbole, designed as a man with long hair and lipstick.That abomination shouldn’t be used as a measuring stick, because it wasn’t supposed to look female in the first place.
>>746027065The 1st game & Revenge of Death Adder are the best ones. 2 & 3 are meh/not great
>>746027951This sounds like an exaggeration
>>746021095probably too obscure, I don't know about those particular IPs but i did see the movie and I can't picture Conan the Barbarian saying a nu-Kratos line
>>746010914Self insert is so weak and effeminate he's two-handling a tiny, tiny dagger.I don't have DEI fatigue i have DEI disgust at this point
>>746010890All three look like they are using steroids and going to the gym 4-6 days a week, seems kinda anachronistic for a medieval-adjacent fantasy setting.
>>746028074While I agree 3 left a lot to be desired, it also did a lot of cool stuff that was never done again in the series:>branching paths>permanent health upgrades>unique 2-player combo magic>characters not chosen by the player(s) are fought as bosses
>>746016268it really does lend credibility to the theory that this is mostly explained by global T levels dropping worldwideif you compare each picture in this thread

>>746024390"Wokeness" is not a real thing.

>>746028692>old nerds just handed over the reigns to the people who grew up in the height of the Internet and social media and all they could produce is gaynessThat, plus anyone smart enough to NOT do that was threatened with getting cancelled if they didn’t retire and amscray like the rest.
>>746020993>Bharat_Nation
>>746010914The sad thing is that this is almost objectively a big improvement over the shit we have been getting. They're pretty close to their Golden Axe 2 appearances, Tyris has been de-sexualized in the typical Hollywood fashion, but not nearly as badly as it could be, and the plot seems to be a more or less the plot from the games instead of reworked into some shit where MEN ARE THE REAL MONSTERS or something. The worst shit in this, by a wide fucking margin, is the fucking modern "adult comedy cartoon" sitcomslop writing and presentation.

>>746010890>>746010914A law friend sent me this thread and I started cackling on the stupidity itt. People are wrongfully assuming Sega did this and comparing it to stuff like Magic the Gathering's art change in wotc and Microsoft's bad battletoads reboot. Paramount, under David Ellison, entered a memorandum of understanding with Sega to adapt several of their series. In other words, paramount is licensing, paying sega, to make these adaptations and any recurring revenue through their streaming platform and ads gets split. Sega willingly took the money just like how Konami and Capcom took the money from Netflix for their series to be misrepresented. Usually in these deals, you either have to have an iron fist and constant meddling on your part with strict rules or you make your own. These companies don't care because they got the bag and believe you'll eat anything they license out and that is partly true; shitty games made by indie studios like the latest Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden is proof and don't get me even started on Nintendo (ie teaming up with Universal for Movies or Hasbro to make Zelda figures). The examples of Magic and Battletoads are different, as WOTC purposely hired artists to make it in the grotesque art you see itt; same as MS giving Battletoads to a calarts taught stidio. If you have your own property, you need to commission a reputable studio on your own and pay them rather than whore your IP out. Hollywood, quite literally, is able to throw tons of cash at you for you to forget while simultaneously making an adaptation of your IP as horrible as possible. Just look at what they did to the Knuckles show
>>746030096Not everyone needs a chemical cocktail like you do to not ack themselves.
Never understood why SEGA keeps trying to make Golden Axe a thing, it wasn't even good back then.
>>746030963I think they like to try and scrape the barrel for pre-Sonic games for some reasonI'm surprised they haven't had another stab at Altered Beast, its been 20 years since that shitty beat em up
>>746030329you have already acked yourself mentally
>>746010914
>>746010890One is a stand-alone painting with lots of time and effort put into it, the other is a production still from an animation, one out of millions, so far less effort went into it.

>>746032086ok, is this any better?
>>746010890The Schwarzenegger bodybuilding craze was cringe as hell, man. A steroid addict would make for a horrible warrior.
>>746032347Yes, actually, it is.The art style still sucks, but the poses are colors are majorly improved.
>>746031609>>746030963Outrun would be a decent racing/comedy movie ala Cannonball Run.
>>746024390woke is a 60s black power thing
Considering there aren't that many Golden Axe fans to begin with, I think they're rightfully justified in making the show appeal to a wider audience. Don't get me wrong, I love faithful adaptations, but I also enjoy unique spins with existing IP, so long as the outcome is still enjoyable.
>>746031609it wasnt that bad. it was like a 16+ Ben 10 game and the transformations were sick>>746032862the Turbo Outrun protag is a turbo cuck canonically they should have gone with that>>746034072the thing is it isnt unique at all. it's getting the same emasculating treatment scooby and heman gotfuck those scheming niggers and fuck sega
>>746021180it'd be the only based thing if they did
>>746024821True enough. I was being pedantic anyways. I personally think most modern animation and art looks like shit because of how flat everything looks. Of course, there are exceptions, but those artists are becoming rare. This is an example of modern digital art that I really like (low quality because lol/v/). Everything is starting to look flat, safe, and same-y, but that's what happens when art turns into a curriculum and everyone with a phone and twitter gets told how everything they do is amazing and they don't need to improve.
>>746010890Wait I thought highly unrealistic fantasy armor that protects nothing is bad? I'm about to go into battle shit let me grab my chainmail g string. That'll keep me safe!

>>746035079>but that's what happens when art turns into a curriculum and everyone with a phone and twitter gets told how everything they do is amazing and they don't need to improveOh, and don’t forget anybody that still dares to give criticism is either ignored, drowned out, blocked, banned and/or sometimes even cancelled.

You had Luke standing heroically and Han striking a pose and everyone else looked at the very least, like they were the HEROES of legend. Here I dont get that at all. How am I supposed to root for a faggy elf, a manwoman thing and a scared male protagonist who has more muscles in his left arm than I do. I mean how does THAT make sense?

>>746017062>faggotize fantasy?Because they are totally not adding faggotry in other genres? Anyway, the first reply you got is precise. They exist only to destroy, they don't care about anything else.
>>746043108DTB was an original IP satirizing tropes, presenting itself fully as a comedy. Now if it had been called Conan the Barbarian or Turok or pulled a Thundercats Roar then you would have people justifying their anger towards it.
>>746026024>mediaval northern european settingWhy does that mean the ethic distribution would be the same? Isn't Middle Earth a totally different planet than our Earth?
>>746044324I only met one black person who knew anything remotely about DND and he was the epitome of a Tolkien autist. Knew fucking everything down to each individual character, year and even obscure shit like Tolkien mentioning Valar from space. Who couldnt even let us make it through fucking Fellowship of the Ring in peace let alone the entire trilogy. Both as kids watching it on VHS and even teens because he despised those movies. These people are fucking delusional, its like a black person saying Tyler Perry movies or soul food needs to be more accommodating to white people or mexicans or something.
>>746017062I have a theory that since MCU slop has started to fall out of fashion, people are trying to move into fantasy as a kind of off-brand capeshit and treating it as such.

>>746045780Nah, it’s literally just DnD5e getting really popular thanks to critical role, stranger things, etc.
>>746030963Golden Axe 1 and 2 are sick. Fuck you
>>746020272Then go back to fucking bReddit, faggot. I know damn well that's where you came from, with all of that forced toxic positivity
>>746045780Its just subversion because they lack the critical thinking to make an old or new fantasy IP work. Sincerity even if done bad will always win over. For example the Star Wars prequels are 100% sincere…but the dialogue, acting and even humor at times is awful. But its not making tongue-in-cheek jokes or insulting its audience. At the very least in spite of things like “i dont like sand” they are attempting to tell a serious story about love, betrayal, war and doubt. Meanwhile if these fucks made SW it would be like a Robot Chicken skit. They would constantly point out how much of an idiot you are for liking Star Wars or make winks at the audience on the absurdity of the characters appearance's or motives.
>>746022257You're welcome to go back to bReddit if you don't appreciate our board schizophrenics, comrade ;)
I wish Sega let this shit series die and instead focused on good ones like Altered Beast.
>>746028580Yes it is, it's a loan word from Tumblr who got it from black spaces. The colloquialism was repurposed to represent progressive stack ideas in the modern age, which themselves come from many different European authors and social commentators. You of course, make a statement of authority with zero actual knowledge, or perhaps to beguile lurkers. You deserve to be crucified with Trump and Netanyahu.
>>746046250That anon probably played the home console versions which really sucked compared to the arcade games. Is understandable.
>>746010890I’ve always felt Golden Axe was fairly overrated. I much prefer Capcom fantasy beat em ups like King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, and of course the D&D games.
>>746011978But the right in the west is just as cucked. One censors due to mental illness and the other censors due to jewish religion or some other mental illness while both being goycattle
>>746021430Not even close lil goy They are cucked, sure but the west is so so far beyond it that there's no word to use.
>>746030190>shitty games made by indie studios like the latest Shinobi and Ninja GaidenThose games weren't bad. Why does /v/ keep pretending they were?
>>746047694D&D by capcom was great
>>746034072>ironic self-deprecating meta humor with ugly strong female and dumb slob useless male characters, drawn in an objectively repulsive art style>unique spin
>>746046443Last Jedi already did all that for Star Wars

>>746010914>>746043108The strange thing is why we even have these parodies of barbarian Sword and Sorcery at all when sincere examples of this are basically non-existent in popular media. Parodies usually come out amid a glut of sincere examples of the genre its parodying. Galaxy Quest was made in the middle of a Star Trek boom with a bunch of both official Star Trek media coming out and a ton of copycat Star Trek tv shows airing. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was made in a time when tons of King Arthur movies were coming out and Arthurian Legend was practically THE Hollywood fantasy series. Blazing Saddles was made when the Western was considered to be one of the stock Hollywood movie and TV genres and on the heels off a boom in the popularity of Spaghetti Westerns. Where are all the Sword and Sorcery shows that would warrant parodies? The only thing I can think of is that Genndy is going to give us a (presumably) straight Conan the Barbarian series, and that was only just announced and we won't be getting it for a while AFTER this newest parody comes out. It could be that it's ONLY parodying Golden Axe, but it has been multiple decades since Golden Axe held any real relevance in popular culture and most people have likely forgotten its existence save for this TV show reminding them.It reminds me of the state of Beowulf adaptations. There have been multiple Beowulf film adaptations and somehow, SOMEHOW they are ALL fucking deconstructions trying to tell the REAL story of Beowulf in one way or another and making massive, egregious changes to the epic poem. Forget faithfulness, to this day there isn't even a single example of a *straight* adaptation of Beowulf. They are ALL like this. If you want to know what the story of Beowulf is, you have to read the poem itself. It absolutely baffles me that we got a bunch of "the REAL story of Beowulf" bullshit without even one example of a film just telling the story of Beowulf.

>>746051650>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sword-and-sorcery_filmsMost of these were either financial disappointments or flat out bombs. Red Sonja didn't even make half a million. It likely didn't come anywhere close to recouping its budget at all. As much I really liked The Northman, it only just broke even. Either there isn't a market for sword and sorcery stories, or the people writing them are hilariously shit at writing and poison the well with constantly bad or mediocre entries.
I'm just gonna ignore this series and masturbate to the panther dude who's going to be fotm furbait
>>746010890>>746010914It's called having good taste.I mean, hypothetically. fantasy is a inherently trash genre, but I don't think bottom is actually doing anything to redeem the whole enterprise. I blame the inability of people to let go of old things and instead sticking with clearly dead end franchises like Golden Axe. >>746054960Like I said, it's a good concept but a poor execution.
>>746055524There is no market and it's a shit genre of no value.Sword and Sorcery is basically the equivalent of harlequin romance novels for men. The difference being that men don't need the subtext and prefer to just get their porn directly.
>>746051038>The "who is this for?" It's the "We need a name attached to this project, any name" style of show making.
>>746010914who the fuck is this self-insert OC with the knife?
>>746055742>Sword and Sorcery is basically the equivalent of harlequin romance novels for men.I don't see how that means it can't possibly be popular media.
>>746056003you just said itsome self-insert
>>746021246youre working on categories they do not use out of ideology. So sincerity as you mean it usually means supporting gender roles. Thats why they often turn it into humor or subversion because their belief is to champion whoever is perceived as lesser.
>>746056003(You), the player.
>>746021095Man, I should watch Dave the Barbarian again. I thought it was going to be one of those shows that's only good as a kid, but I still find it funny.
/tg/ tried warning you faggotsWhat’s worse, ai art or tranny slop?
>>746055742>Sword and Sorcery is basically the equivalent of harlequin romance novels for men. The difference being that men don't need the subtext and prefer to just get their porn directly.Sword and Sorcery does not necessarily have sex or romance in it. If you just mean that it's fast and easy popular entertainment instead of being high art, that's usually the shit that sells. Star Wars did way way WAY better than Annie Hall, which was the film that actually won Best Picture for 1977.
>See people complain about nu-fantasy.>Never seen any of those shows, but I guess the designs look faggy.>They also complain about BG3, the last enjoyable RPG I've played.Can trust anybody these days.
>>746056130You don't have your own character in Golden Axe. It's one of the three heroes.
>>746056471>retarded faggot defending the gayest game in recent history also disingenuously pretending it's just the designs
>not posted yetToday, I will remind them.
>>746056557it's not my fault that you romance men
daily reminder that Critical Role completely raped and murdered /tg/
>>746056616>they removed the black guy
>>746056361I mean it's trashy, cheaply produced, and lacking in value. Star Wars isn't high art, but I wouldn't call it trashy or lacking in value. That's why despite everything it still has a market.>>746056052Because men are not women. Men just watch porn.

>>746056471BG3 is the definition of nu-fantasy, everyone acts like they were isekai'd from San Francisco and it's obsessed with sex but this very vulgar and casual modern form of it where everyone has hookups and fetish shit and faggotry is commonplace>but I guess the designs look faggyFuck off faggot.

>>746056738>that freefall to zero in 2025what happened?
>>746056738Come on anon, I'm sure that Paizo going full troon, WotC somehow finding ways to get even more gay and diverse every year (especially MtG), and Games Workshop continuing to destroy their own lore helped a lot in this decline. It wasn't all Critical Role, even if it is arguably the worst series related to TTRPGs ever made
>>746057406what's he doing right now anyway?the latest season of primal was kinda meh
>>746057406>fucked up the last season of Samurai Jack>fucked up Primal by doing the exact same shit where it starts revolving around his OC girl to be saved>proceeds to make a horrendous raunchy animated sex comedy with dogs where the protagonist literally gets anally raped right in front of his love interestHe's way past his prime
>>746056214Cute gay kobolds
>>746057567still mad about samurai jackand it started pretty well
>>746057556See picrel of >>746048995
>>746057567>protagonist literally gets anally raped right in front of his love interest
>>746057567The last season of Samurai Jack had an amazing opening couple of episodes before the pacing problems that are common with his works kicked in hard. He had to speed run an ending that he likely never intended to actually do and a lot of it falls flat because of it. Maybe 2 seasons would've smoothed over the rougher edges, but Ashi converting to the side of good so fast and also being able to resist Aku's mind control at the end still feels like an ass pull to get Jack to where he needed to be.
>>746056214Every single person in that image besides the ancientfag they are reacting to is a gigantic fucking faggot.When did people like this stop getting horrendously bullied on the internet?
>>746057567>protagonist literally gets anally raped right in front of his love interestIt's time for a new great flood
>>746057737>she sticked around long enough to break his heart right at the weddingfucking kek
>>746057836>>746057713I wish I was joking, he literally interrupts the girl dog he likes about to be bred by the dog equivalent of Gigachad by diving between them and Gigachad is unaware that he is pumping into a dude's ass as he confesses his love to her, it's exactly as vile as it sounds
>>746057856He did a Gurren Lagann, but it didn't really work there either.
>>746057910Why is shit like this seen as perfectly fine/artistic expression while having 1 (one) attractive woman wearing revealing clothing in a video game is a serious problem?
>>746057910>>746058068>male rape>I'm so edgy and funny, guys>but I would never, ever, ever let that happen to a womansafe edgy

>>746058068Foids are the primary consumer market being catered to. That's why.
>>746016238Europeans settled the place genius
>>746058772Women don't even buy video games though? Most of the time whenever someone brings up the "women make up 50% of gamers" it's from mobile games, as in shit you fiddle with on your phone when you're bored. You take those out and suddenly the demographics who actually buys and plays games becomes immediately obvious.
>>746058462At least nowadays if a kike writer tries to humiliate a male character by raping them they'll get five billion furious comments from the woke crowd they cultivated demanding why the kike thinks rape is funny
>>746022116Trying too hard seems to mean lacking irony it seems.
>>746058858>Wome-Cope, retard. But even if they bought 0 video games, no one cares. Video games today are just advertisements for other forms of multimedia and consumer slop, which foids dominate as well. The average woman spends, per year, 3-5x as much as the average man, and purchases/spends at over twice the rate, as high as 3x in some studies.
>>746058772>married to a woman>your money is my money>this count as woman buying powerthis is like that article saying that 52% of video game players are woman
>>746056471What's exactly the problem? If you enjoyed BG3 you will surely enjoy similar propaganda products. By your kind, for your kind.
>>746057120Love the Psygnosis covers, usually better than the games themselves.
>>746059113>Women spend astronomically more money than men>slobbering chimp: SO WUT? she not earn more den grug!!Yes, but she spends more than grug, therefore companies will solicit her to buy their slop because it's easier to get her to buy slop than to get grug to buy slop.
>>746059135None of this is "woke", whatever the fuck that meaningless zoomer buzzword even means. Go back to /pol/.
>>746059106Now which games are they playing retard? That matters just as much so you're stats might as well be lying bullshit created by marketing types. Guess what, the top 3 are also the types most represented by mobile games. So fuck off back to whatever hole of reddit you spawned from.
True fantasy art died when modern artists switched to digital. Most current day artists lack the talent of old school painters.

>>746057567Since his next project is Conan rather than an original work, we don't have to worry about Genndy having no idea how to do an ending. The endings of the Conan stories are already written.I heard that he's basing the first season on Queen of the Black Coast, which should be fun.

>>746059661That's not autism, it's narcissism
>>746059494You're post is still retarded because the vast majority of video game sales aren't from women, they're from men.
