Mm can anyone share an egg of this thing?

We may or may be not related.

Pues acabo de ver The Creator y buff, es como si ya hubiera visto esta peli millones de veces. Quizas es cosa mia, pero las pelis de robots, de IA, no son todo lo mismo? Una metáfora del racismo.

Y digo yo, no pueden tratar de otras cosas? Longevidad, aprendizaje exponencial, bugs, esclavismo crudo, desconexion social y refugio parasocial, maravillas de la ingenieria, posibilidad de colonización espacial, etc.. temas hay, vaya si los hay.

Pero se desaprovecha para caer en el mismo tema, el esclavismo (no explícito) y el racismo. Y me parece una mierda centrarse en si los robots tienen sentimientos. Y lo más grave de todo; gravísimo. Que a una peli sobre racismo le metan un "whitewash" que ni usando lejía oye.

So there's this technique in storytelling that basically throws at the audience a bunch of stuff, a bunch of questions (wtf is going on!?) to keep the viewer going with the media, expecting answers, but they never arrive, instead, some twists appear and stuff gets even crazier. "Lost" comes to mind immediately, or "Attack on Titans", even if the first had no clue at all where the story was going and the second one had everything planned (presumably).

I think the rebuild (so far) is trying to surprise the audience, and is using this technique to keep the audience interested, which I don't particularly like nor dislike. But what really grinds my gears, is that they lost track of what Evangelion was.

Ok, evangelion is a lot of stuff, for example psychological biblical drama with mechas fighting kaijus. But it is also a slice of life romance students piloting mechas fighting kaijus. And the balance between those two concepts, grounded reality and existential philosophy made evangelion fucking great.

In the 3.33 movie i think we lost absolutely any glimpse of a slice of life. And I don't mean in terms of character dynamics, i mean it economically. Every single time we've seen the evas so far, we see how much money those robots cost. The resources, the government's implication, the structures, the workers, the energy... Remember that fight with Raziel? The choppers transporting parts of the sniping gun, and how all the energy in japan was needed for a shot. That was great. But in 3.33, after the ending of 2.22 i just can't believe that a faction going rogue has the meanings to deploy such a military power. Same for nerv, which is literally a graveyard. You know what i mean?

But they did surprise me, yeah they did.

So i am playing rebirth right now, and man, there's A LOT of content. And I wonder... would you be interested in a spin of about the chocobo racing minigame?

I mean, they have done a great job on that, feels deep enough to be a little bit challenging. There's enough customization and enough cosmetics to keep people playing. Could be a stand alone game, multiplayer, 20 bucks, or free with seasons and microtransactions. I just don't know why they wouldn't do it, literally the hard work is already done.

But would you be interested in a spin off like this?

I know I would.
