druckmann's michael bay movie product placement garbage will never be the brilliance of end transmission, and misses the fucking point of sci-fi entirely...in just a teaser trailer. but what else do we expect from a hypocritical and spineless slime like him, really?

#thoughts about media #noooot tagging any fandom cause people STILL defend this guy #for context: he is pro Isn't Real #if you do a search on it. the first thing it will show you might be an older interview.#this interview suggests a somewhat self-critical perspective on the situation.#please search further. he made an instagram post around november-december of last year.#which unambiguously reveals his true position.#and it's why I call him a hypocrite. because he is.#any way. about the actual game...#well I have to say of it what I have to say about a lot of sci-fi we've seen in recent years...#it's soulless crap. it's the sci-fi aesthetic without any real meaning.#I don't praise end transmission like I do just because I am biased toward dbd.#it could not be clearer to me that very careful effort was made by the dbd team to not replicate harmful sci-fi tropes-#-seen in a lot of big white-made/written sci-fi. one of the most common of which being the exclusion of people who pioneered the genre.#end transmission has a blasian protagonist who isn't weirdly sexualised for no reason.#it asserts that capitalism is just an extension of colonialism and warns us how its divisiveness will destroy us all.#it explores the oppression of marginalised groups and the violence they face in this society.#it criticises the way we are sold our beliefs and values by corporations and corrupt governments.#it criticises the unethical practices of corporations and points out how they often do not suffer for their crimes.#all while not having any weird product placements telling us to go buy a model of vehicle most people cannot afford.#the most you could say negatively about it is that bhvr undermined the chapter's message by not nerfing MFT-#-solely so they could capitalise further off of the chapter.#but that's an Executive decision and not a decision made by the people who WROTE the chapter. or who designed gabe and hux.
