I dunno if they would have made it without him ramming into Clu in a moment of clarity.

This was what turned me away from it, too. I loved the first one as a kid. I enjoyed most of the sequel(?) as an old person.

There’s a shit-ton more they could do in that universe, a place that seems to offer escapism from reality but comes burdened with its own conflicts that parallel ours — conflicts that are solved, largely, if I’m remembering right, through self-sacrifice in defiance of money-grubbing capitalists and power-hungry rogue-program autocrats.

There’s a lot of hope in the two movies; I didn’t get that feeling from the trailers for this one and will probably be skipping it.

That does sound pretty likely.

My understanding is that humor is a very common coping mechanism — in the face of an abuse of power this absurd, I imagine it’s sometimes all someone has the strength for.

Haven’t played this, but I think Bastion is the first game I remember doing the grandad voice thing. I enjoyed it there, not sure about liking it elsewhere.

It had two nice movies and no one had ruined it yet. Someone in a suit couldn’t resist.
