The gamers are so far gone they will have to be put down
Two guys logically explain why The Boss, a middle-aged war veteran, does not look like a 20-year-old e-girl
Gamers: Well she should look like one anyway
I'm so tired
It's so fucking stupid, she looks pretty much exactly like the original character but in a photo-realistic style
Holy shit, I somehow missed the most unhinged comment:
[CW: Transphobia]
spoiler
They made the boss look trans and that's a fucking crime.
The chin is different, it looks like a man's chin, the mouth is different, it looks like a man's mouth, more specifically it looks like Chris Chan's mouth, don't believe me, go do an image search. Neither the mouth or the chin or the brow or forehead or zygomatic process feminine in any way in the remake version.
The boss has deep cheek hollows because they changed her maxilla as well, literally everything they did was to make the Boss look like a ******.
Lol. The boss isn't a "femme fatale". I admit they kinda had mixed messages at the end with the boob scar window but its kind of a big part of her design that she's very deliberately not sexualized for the overwhelming majority of the game. The old and new models are actually both conventionally attractive in terms of their physical structure and Kojima has confirmed that a young Charlotte Rampling was the main inspiration for the Boss in terms of her physical appearance...but she's supposed to look like a war vet...not a victorias secret angel.
Also: I get very "Robin Wright" vibes from the new model...and I dig it.
Gamers have no media literacy. The whole point of Eva was she was an inverse to the boss, SHE was the femme fatale spy with the sex appeal. But like I said in my other post, coomer brains just won't abide a woman being normal.
