Also, he repeats the same lie regarding the earlier DPs that they did nothing but wait for their princes to come (the only ones who literally waited for their princes to come were Snow White and Aurora, and to be fair to them, they didn't have a choice since they were in a coma. And besides, even Snow White at least fled the castle and also helped maintain the Dwarves' house, so really, it's only Aurora who literally only waited for their prince to come due to her having very minimal screentime), while praising the feminism of the movie.
I read it. It’s drivel. Everyone knows TLJ failed its fan base. This is just an attempt by the Entertainment Establishment (or maybe the first shot of an offensive) to put lipstick on the pig.
sjw creativity: endless sequels and genderswapping established beloved franchises and getting up in a huff over the predictable backlash.
Yeah, agreed, the fact that he made a similarly bad game in the form of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain definitely doesn’t help matters, either. In fact, of his Metal Gear games, I can only name one, maybe two games that were actually good, three at most: There’s Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The rest were pretty bad, and in the case of Metal Gear barely has any real thing to talk about (and some that were actually good weren’t even made by him in the first place such as Portable Ops or Ghost Babel). It takes a hack to defend such a hack work (of course, then again, I’d probably say that about Lucas after he not only changed Han shooting first, but even lied about it, not to mention his bluntly trying to push the idea that having ANY military at all is evil in the prequel trilogy, similar to the nukes bit that Kojima condemns in his games, even going as far as to “award” a player with instant demon status if you build a single nuke, even if it is to defend your FOB and men.).
You’ve got that right, and in Kojima’s case, while he hasn’t gone as far as to do genderswapping franchises (yet, anyway, although his having Norman Reedus’s character get pregnant in Death Stranding does come pretty close), he has stated in Metal Gear Solid 2’s grand game plan that he thinks women will rule and be protectors of men, that the 21st century will be the age of women. And he certainly got into a huff regarding MGS2 and MGSV’s negative reception.
Ripley, I rest my case.
I enjoyed Snatcher and the early Metal Gear games but in my opinion, Kojima has progressively gotten worse as a story teller.
The Last Jedi was trash. The Solo movie was great escapist fun. The trash took big box office, the fun film not so much because of the first garbage movie. Not fair.
Yeah, agreed. The fact that he relies on constantly retconning the heck out of his plot definitely doesn’t impress me at all, nor does his making characters out of character just to push his agenda (Big Boss and Miller all of a sudden singing praises for Che Guevara despite their character histories up to that point completely conflicting with the idea of supporting him comes to mind). I’d say that he probably started slipping by MGS2, maybe as early as MGS1 (I wasn’t fond of how he turned Snake from a guy who wanted to get rid of his PTSD into a complete psychopath who was arguably as bad as the terror group he was fighting based on comments from his own allies, let alone his enemies which included a psychic of all people).
If it’s of any consolation, The Last Jedi did underperform to such an extent that JJ Abrams began insulting his audience a’la FemGhostbusters.
Wow, what a waste of reading time this article was.
Too boring to read. Can anyone explain concisely exactly what “reinvention of the hero” means? Sorry to be lazy, but I was never a big Star Wars fan, including when the original came out.
El Rey Sci-Fi Channel had an all-day “Kaiju” run the other day—great because I’m recuperating from a bad back sprain, etc. Godzilla VS everything they could come up with, from the old school to present!
Yeah I know off-topic and waaaay down a different tangent.
Trust me, you think that’s bad, wait till you try to play some of his games like Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid V.
You may disagree but I liked MSG-V TPP and MSG-IV was great as well, he has good directing style and I like that his beliefs though that is something else.
See Solo while you can, folks. The DPs are already wondering if the scheduled Boba Fett movie should even be made.
How long till one of those tiny sprite-girls scolds Go-jira for breaking things and sends him packing back into the ocean forever?
It’s translated from the original Japanese. I don’t think the Hero was reinvented. The hero in Star Wars is now a heroine. Which is fine with me, but the SJWs think it is a Big Deal and will use it going forward to show how superior women are and how inferior men are.
With MGSV, unfortunately, he made the same mistake as with Peace Walker and couldn’t keep his personal political beliefs to himself (since he used Ground Zeroes to push the idea that Guantanamo Bay shouldn’t exist), and in TPP, they had disparaging remarks about America, not to mention the characters supporting the MPLA, a Communist group, and they had a guy who literally wanted to commit genocide against English, not even CARING if his own Dine tribe who knows English got killed as a result despite claiming he wanted to avenge his tribe, and being ungrateful enough to not even be glad that his language served SOME use instead of being wiped out simply because it was used in World War II. And don’t get me started on the plot twist that just destroyed whatever consistent lore the series had left.
And as far and MGS4, it’s slightly better than MGS2 and MGSV, maybe also Peace Walker, but make no mistake, it was a bad game as well, turning characters who weren’t even implied to be involved with the Patriots into their founders, and Act 2 had Otacon pretty much telling you to aid what was implied to be a communist group. Ocelot’s plan literally had no chance of working even IF Sunny’s FOXALIVE didn’t end it, and there’s also the implication from Drebin that FOXALIVE if anything may have left the world even WORSE off than it already was even with the eradication of both the Patriots AND Outer Heaven.
Last Jedi? Is this April Fools? Everybody knows only 3 Star Wars movies have ever been made.
A New Hope.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Return of the Jedi.
What is this “Last Jedi” nonsense this article refers to? It can’t be a “Star Wars” movie, since there are only 3 in existence, all made by George Lucas before 1984. Since 1984, there have been no Star Wars movies made. None. Not a single one. Nope. I don’t believe it.
