Morality, revenge (so the consequence for past actions), the line between good and evil, all has been discussed in this thread. A couple of people using this opportunity (the leak) as a platform to push their own political agenda doesn't diminish the thread as a whole. Anger is a valid reaction to the leak because content creators that work on an established and defined IP are supposed to honor the well-received work of the past. It's virtually never welcome when a beloved IP gets taken over to sell something different, because it's essentially a betrayal of what the IP stands for. There are many popular examples of this, such as Game of Thrones' season 8, Star Wars Episode 8 and 9, or more relevant because this is a thread about video games, Metroid: Other M. The only times when content creators can get away with it is when there's already a widespread feeling of staleness or other downward trajectory of the IP among the fanbase, so situations where major changes are not only welcome, but (highly) desired. |
Game of Thrones season 8 and Star Wars episode 8 didn't ‘sell something different’, it more GoT8 had bad writing and terrible pacing while Star Wars 8 showed there wasn’t a coherent vision for the sequel trilogy whilst also trying to juggle too many characters, resulting in only one (Poe) getting decent and believable character growth. Characters like Rose were annoying, but write any character like that and they will be..p
I’m not that familiar with the Metroid franchise, but isn’t Other M more of a spin-off? Wouldn’t you expect it to have a different direction?
People have made up their minds on Abby before actually getting a decent look at her. From what I’ve seen from the leaks, she’s focused more in getting revenge than going around correcting people’s usage of pronouns
