Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2

#in anticipation of the incoming remake #i tried my best to imitate the SH font but #silent hill #silent hill 2 #angela #angela orosco #theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game #for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001 #and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela #not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote “difficult” but then this #actively rebuffing james for trying to offer hope and dressing him down for it too #“i know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#“and it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you can”#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well #maybe even old videogame tropes too #“this isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than that”#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this #and in doing so showing it so much respect #there is no quick easy solution to this and you won't get one #then angela just leaves #and you never see her again #i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said #this isn't your problem to fix #this is where your part in this story ends #there's some strength in that

Thinking about this today. 🙃

#jesus christ lol #masahiro ito #silent hill #silent hill 3 #replaying this game now #I never forget how terrifying it is but I often forget I like it almost as much as the second game #the music and sound design are so good and the graphics hold up remarkably well for being 20+ years old #also heather is the best protagonist #anyway the first time I encountered the mirror room I stayed in it for like 10 seconds and said “nah” and just left lol

It’s pretty well known that Maria is a manifestation from Silent Hill and obviously James’s psyche, but I don’t know I also like to think she’s also partially a manifestation from Mary herself.

Mary probably sensed that James was angry and frustrated. She was angry and frustrated. Maybe Maria represents the person she wanted, but couldn’t be. Carefree, sultry, teasing. Her continuous ‘deaths’ at the hand of Pyramid Head not only tortures James but serves as cruel reminders for her—that she can’t escape her death, that it was inevitable.

The dead wife trope is pretty tired—husband always holds the wife up to a pedestal and she always accepts her death with grace and dignity, telling husband he has to move on and life—but I appreciate SH2 for acknowledging the anger and pain of the wife with the hallway conversation. Maria is that anger and the desire that things could have been different personified—for both James and Mary.

#Maria ending is both of them accepting their delusions that things could be different #personal #Maria #mary shepherd sunderland #James Sunderland #sh2 #silent hill 2 remake #things I’ve been thinking about lol #I’m sure there are holes in this theory but idk I would like to imagine there is some truth in this #anyway I do love a good old reconstruction of a trope
