The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Many opine here that Druckmann ought to be dispensed with like any typical farm animal. I beg to differ.

Druckmann is a visionary! Where once there was a notion of so bad it’s bad or so bad it’s good, this mad lad bursts in and makes a game so terrifically and terrifyingly terrible that it’s worse after every sitting! His ineptness is matched only by his crunching cruelty and snobbish stupidity! A match made in hell.

Part grease, part soy. Full-time shit-bag, this Druckmann! I want his muck drenched in every orifice of man. Let the mutt impregnate all household names of every franchise of any, any console from any, any and all generations! Let this man step into Hollywood! Let him stand at the helm at each and every quantum leap for VR and AR alike!

Let him be the suzerain of our entertainment industries (both domestic and abroad) as we forfeit fun at his convenience!

For the memes he brings are glorious! And the autism salted by his steps are as steep as any ocean.

The strangle meme has crossed time, space and fandoms. Spoiler for Kamen Rider Amazons second season which kind of does a backflip into being relevant to the thread, given that the unhinged new protagonist has to be put down due to making a bad situation infinitely worse just by existing. 98003213_1494505154065418_866778680129486848_o.jpg

Writing 101, kiddos: be sincere.

It doesn't matter if you're writing absolute dogshit. You need to BELIEVE in your message and BELIEVE in your audience to see it shining through. I've met people who genuinely unironically love The Room because Wiseau is being so goddamn sincere in it despite its complete lack of coherency. That's why Ed Wood is so beloved. Or those weird Italians that made Troll 2. Any of those losers can be a winner to many because they weren't trying to torture the audience with heartless politics. Have a vision and bleed for it. If you're a good writer, you'll make media history. If you suck and take it in stride, people will laugh with you.

When you're a bitter corporate douchebag that wastes talent and creativity on insincere politics and pandering, you're not an artist or a visionary. You're a fucking asshole scamming people that came to go on a journey with characters that speak to them.

Fuck off, Druck. I'll keep my sixty bucks and you can kiss my ass.

Man I just miss sincerity in general.
Like, for example, Forest Gump is one of the most sappy movies ever made. Not to mention being a Boomer nostalgia wank fest.
Once upon a time I rolled my eyes at that film.
But after 10+ years of American entertainment being drowned in hipster snark and irony with cheeky self-awareness on top of it all...
Shit like Forest Gump is a breath of fresh air compared to the Whedon-Esque quip-fest hell we find ourselves in now.
At least it believes in what it's selling unlike mainstream trash nowadays.
If The Lord of the Rings was made today Sam would see Barad-Dur for the first time and quip that Sauron is clearly compensating for something.
Because fuck joy and sadness and awe and bravery and all that human emotion type shit.
The only thing you should feel is self-aware irony and tension breaking humor.
I know this rant was kinda off-topic but this whole thread is off-topic so bite me.

Welp, besides the usual trailer that gets uploaded once the game launches, this will probably be the last time we‘ll see an in depth look at the game.
Do you think they‘ll be brave enough to show Abby?

Oh god no given they are so scared of showing her they pull illegal takedowns on meme pictures that aren't their work.

These entire past pages and posts have been mentioning creators that are weird for the entire point of shitting on Neil Druckman's career and mocking his art. I think that's wonderful.

John Waters put more dedication, love, and thought into giving a family of incestous, chicken fucking, shit eating, steak stealking, egg fixiated, cannibalistic filth addicts a nuanced connection with the audience and a sympathetic characterisation than literally every mainstream western media franchise for the past eight or so years, and he did this for a film that looks like it was shot on a urine drenched betamax camera

The fact I am not even being remotely hyperbolic when I say this makes me want to be dead.

Oh, it didn't just look like urine drenched, it was urine drenched. And you are 100% right. Corporate, sanitized art is pure trash. Infinity saga is done, I'm kind of done with cape shit, 100% done with Star Trek and Star Wars. I hope all these franchises choke and die. There's no point in 'hyping' any of this shit. What is the point about getting excited about pure trash that I know is corporate sanitized, is going to disrespect what I liked about the material and not care about me as an audience member?

Like, I can watch a Water's film, and feel uncomfortable, but its like he's this crazy as fuck uncle who cares about me but just enjoys fucking with you. You don't get that feeling with any pop media these days.

His delivery like a slow mentally handicapped child is what makes it. When he said 'With their pussies hanging out' I choked on my drink. That's some quality shit right there.

The reason that the companies now seem to hate their audiences is that they're increasingly staffed by people who absolutely hate their audience. It didn't start that way, mind, but it sure as shit is the case now - a side effect of the real cause of a lot of this shit, which is that none of them actually care about their products or the art behind them. They care about control, and the ability to propagandize and gatekeep over the medium. Nothing else about the medium of entertainment matters to them. The audience and profitability don't matter, ensuring theirs is the only voice that gets heard does.

This is also the reason that no matter how decisively wokeshit fails, they will continue to insist upon more of it.
