Silent Hill

Nameless One said:
James, Angela, and Eddie are all murderers. It's a nice narrative influenced by Crime And Punishment. I find it fascinating since they all go their own ways about dealing with it. Eddie is a coward who runs away and can't accept his issues so the town torments him even though he has never killed anyone, only manifestations of guilt until he tries to kill James. James was coming to the town to kill himself after killing Mary but forgot, and his mind or the town or both formed an aliby, backstory for his crime while his guilt is more hidden amongst the environment and monsters, the many corpses that are James representing his initial suicidal ideation. James also became a bit of an alcoholic while Mary was sick, buried his sorrorws deep in booze until Silent Hill wiped his mind if you check the flavor text at heavens night. Angela was running away to Silent Hill after murdering her father but deals with suicidal ideation the most and she is the most troubled but somewhat realistic depiction of a traumatized girl, regressive like confusing James for her "Mama".

Hm. People overlook the symbolism of Eddie gesturing and emphasizing the ease of killing someone by pointing a loaded revolver to own head and vocalising blowing his brains out.

He fixates on using violence to escape from any kind of duress, and perhaps on some level he understands that the insults he feels other people inflict on him are in fact originating between his temples.

Subconsciously he plays out a little fantasy of destroying the place where the mockery is coming from, before he immediately goes back to blaming everyone else.

what the fuck, so it's not just my imagination. First the new Dragon Age. And after watching a James meeting Big-Head Maria original VS remake comparison scene, now Silent Hill 2.

What's wrong with Western game developers? First it was a trend of uglifying video game women. Now it's a trend of giving them uncanny valley big heads.

Compare that to the almost photo-realistic Death Stranding 2 characters where their heads and torso are proportional and the difference is night and day.

Eddie's not puking non-stop the first time you find him in the Blooper version.

Eddie continuing to vomit and avoiding direct eye contact with James is so important for this scene. As far as he's concerned, he just committed an act of outright murder and the fact a stranger just walked in on the deed is compounding his need to vomit. He knows he mustn't reveal his face directly to James as his lack of guilt will be easy to read, which is why when the CGI briefly shows his face he isn't showing a face of disgust and horror but rather narrow eyed contempt.

He also isn't wretching enough in the remake. The fact that the first thing we see of Eddie is his ass hanging out and him belching uncomfortably as he vomits conveys a sense of repulsion and disgust at being in his presence, and the fact James keeps trying to talk to him well after most people would have left him to it gives a sense of intimate violation, showing James is lacking a basic level of respect for privacy and disgust response (Which is emphasized further when he has to reach into the toilet).

You're meant to leave the scene feeling disgusted and uncertain, not pitying Eddie for being pathetic and James refusing to assist him. They seem to have given Eddie a more Machiavellian personality, which is well above the character's mental pay grade.

The "people" on Reddit shilling hard for this remake give me a headache. Good grief. What's with the, "anyone hating on it never played the OG" mantra they've got going on there? That makes literally no sense. Fucking clowns.

These weirdos are coping on the remake harder than the trannies who try too hard on acting on their preferred gender. And it's reddit, so their stupidity's not surprising.

They removed the Pyramid Heads slowly backing away when James turns to confront them and announce that he's ready to accept the truth.

The top comments sucking off the remake just scream bot accounts to me, and the comments critical of the new version just so happen to get buried by them. Dead Internet Theory in action once again.

I had a suspicion, but I do think there are quite a number of bot accounts made to hype up the game leading to its release.

Does anyone know if they removed / kept in the rape scene or made it more ambiguous? I know that soyboys mostly listen to Masahiro Ito when looking for their own opinions on the game, usually making them reply with "he was just killing them" but to me Pyramid Head is definitely raping the mannequins, or at the very least killing them with a thrust.

This one? They changed it a lot, and that also meant changing the way James runs into him.

Is he raping them with his invisible penis over his completely covered up pelvis?

You see that there is nothing going on with your own eyes. You don't need Ito to tell you that. The movements resemble sex/rape so that the scene looks more disturbing and uncomfortable for the viewer. That's all. People are convinced Pyramid Head somehow astral fucked 2 monsters to death with his ghost dong.

You just said it yourself, I am obviously referring to the movements resembling sex/rape? If it looks like sex and or rape, I am going to assume it has some sort of subliminal meaning in regards to sex/rape? I'm aware Pyramid Head doesn't have a dick.
