Well I knew your stance obviously, my objection in this matter is that while movies like inglorious basterds and the big lebowski may be silly at times (and in ways inherently) their storylines are still cogent at their base and had some sort of an impact.  Bayonetta (and really, platinum games in general) is all flash and no substance.

I'd respectfully disagree; in Bayonetta 2 there was genuine heart beneath all the flashy silliness; the scene where Bayonetta's father asks her just once to call him "Daddy", and that he wants her to be the one to kill him should be succumb to evil actually quite impacted me, particularly as, due to him being sent back in time, she had already done so in the first game but without realizing at the time, though he of course would have remembered. It tied the games together very effectively too and allowed Bayonetta to broaden her range and display emotional vulnerability without weakening her strong persona.

I can't speak to the second, perhaps the writing improved but the story in the first was so appalling that it offended me on a basic level. 

Been a while since I've played the first, but I remember finding its story enjoyable if only for the wonderfully absurd characters and scenes.
