It’s funny how you guys always forget the part in which the creator of the game is a crazy feminist who says his games are influenced by another crazy feminist.
It really makes you think that maybe you all are disregarding objective facts because you are incapable of accepting that the game is indeed filled with feminist tropes and agenda.
That's deflection. The content doesn't change because of the politics of who made it, it just colors your view of it. It's still no more obviously woke than what I compared it to.
Oh hell no. Jim Cameron is not one of these new extreme wokesters. Don't you put that evil on him!
Every film that dude has ever made. Every one of his films, features strong female & male characters. Working together. Learning from each other. Leaning on each other. Being there to save each other. He believes in men & women, that we are stronger together when we respect one another, that we can learn from one other. That our innate differences are equally to be respected. He is an old school liberal who strongly values the union of man & woman & by extension the traditional family unit.
Sarah Connor & Kyle Reese.
Ripley, Hicks & Newt (& Bishop, the family dog).
Bud & Linsay Brigman.
Sarah Connor, the T800 & John.
Harry, Helen & Dana Tasker.
Jack & Rose.
Jake & Neytiri.
Every single one of his films has the same thing at it's core. Strong women & strong men, & sometimes kids too. No woke lecturing. No disrespectful, dismissive sneering at lesser beings who aren't as evolved as him. He doesn't talk down to his audience. He never treats them, or his characters, like crap. He's the fucking man & I love his work.
He would never treat Joel, or Ellie, the way it looks like Neil Druckman is going to.
First of all... Alien wasn't James Cameron, ALIENS was. Also, he made Avatar because he admits to believing environmental terrorism, I can absolutely put wokeness upon him. Here's a Jim Cameron quote: “And he said: ‘OK, OJ Simpson for the Terminator.’ I was like: ‘Hey Mike! Bad idea! You’re going to have this black athlete chasing this white girl around LA with a fricking knife and a gun? We’re not doing that.’ Which was fortunate, but also unfortunate in that life ended up imitating art there.” and another “All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided. She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards. Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female!”
I'd argue that he purposely makes the women stronger in his films. Even so TLOU was about Joel and Ellie finding strength through each other, not sure why we assume there will be no strong male leads in this game at all.
Kyle Reese dies and Sarah needs to take out the Terminator.
Hicks is badly injured and sits out the entire last third of the film. Bishop isn't human, he's a robot, he also gets ripped in half and never kills a single alien. Hicks also just parrots Ripley's ideas when he's given command and don't forget the ineffective Gorman or the spineless Burke.
I'd need to watch the Abyss again.
T-800 isn't human, again she speaks about how he's a better father because he isn't a human male. John's strength is how he cares in the film. Sarah Connor is the only physically strong human.
This one's fine but part of the idea of the movie is what a terrible husband he made for her by lying to her and that their relationship is strengthened when she learns the truth.
Notice he tends to have the man die at the end?
Jake is in a wheelchair and can only be strong by using science to transport himself into a different body, the men routinely need to be robots or inhuman to be strong whereas the women are strong in their natural forms like Neytiri or Michele Rodriguez's character... Vasquez, Sarah Connor, etc.
Evil characters are also nearly always men, I can't think of an evil woman in a James Cameron film off the top of my head... on top of all this we seem to be ignoring the first Terminator he had any involvement in since T2 is Dark Fate, the wokest one.
No woke lecturing? Watch the scene in Terminator 2 where Sarah lectures Miles Bennett Dyson on how men like him only know how to create destruction and don't know what it means to create a life and have it grow inside them, lol. I'm not sure about this lesser beings part, but Burke was looked upon as a lesser being than the aliens "you don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage".
What do you mean he'd never treat Joel that way? The male heroes in Cameron's work nearly always die or become incapacitated by the end. Killing Joel is exactly what he'd do, only he'd never have a woman do it because then you might have negative thoughts about that woman.
The men are also far more fallible and make worse mistakes, the women are always more ideologically correct and make fewer mistakes in judgment or otherwise.
