#saturn devours his son

[merge-conflict]

The first time I played through the devil ending was with my corpo V, and I actually remember being a little miffed that Arasaka is like "we shredded him, like you wanted", because I don't actually think there was a point where I agreed to that in-game? I need to rewatch my recording of it, but I also remember being kind of surprised the Johnny left in your consciousness is like "I'm definitely just a memory, but I was never real" and it's like... well, no you are but I killed you. I just am in love with the idea that a corpo V can sort of get along with Johnny in a cats and dogs sort of way, and even can see his point when he's not ranting away but... it's a big thing to give up the comfort and security of a corpo life to become an anarchist and try to change the world, you know? It's just like in real life, people don't want bad things to happen right in front of them, but they'll tolerate all manner of awful stuff if they think there's really no way to fix it, or as long as it doesn't affect them personally, you know? Takemura gets into that a little in that rooftop conversation like "well you can't fix everything at once" which is him rationalizing the fact that Arasaka has created a lot of the problems it will position itself as fighting, just like a real corporation. And, I don't know. I think it's just interesting to have a V who knows what they're doing isn't the Right Thing, but also can't deal with the reality of giving up everything to do it. Especially when Johnny isn't wrong, but also doesn't really have a Plan outside of resisting as openly and violently as possible. That makes it easy to brand him "terrorist" and everything he has to say. Anyway, I definitely don't claim for this to be the only interpretation, or even the right one, but it's something I think about a lot. When I was developing Valentine I wanted her to be someone Johnny thought he could "fix" in the same way he woke up after being a soldier and realized it was all shit and he needed to do something about it. I do also really love the devastation of a corpo V who doesn't believe in any of Johnny's shit but is haunted by him for as long as they might live. But there's also something deliciously tragic about half-agreeing with Johnny, and then realizing after the panic of trying to get back in Arasaka's good graces and survive, for V to realize they can't quite ignore it all the same way they used to.

I get that Luke is desperate to change the status quo, but like, the gods gave their kids cabins. Kronos cabin is his stomach. I just don't think that Luke has thought this through.
