Cynicism vs Optimism · 5:40pm Jul 23rd, 2021
So, recently, this came out
Which made me think of
The contrast is interesting, I think. While both are the same genre, theres a decided cynicism in the former. Humanity has failed, there is no hope, make way, so says iron maiden, for the Glory of Transhumanism! (or unleashing human potential and creativity, but I'm more inclined to the first theory since the "savior" or prophet or whatever left the gathered throng to, one assumes, to starve in a blighted hellscape.) The other says the same, but theres still hope.
The most glaring difference though I think though is that Wonder Weeb "saved" humans where as Vengeful gave them a way to save themselves.
... Also why a samurai? Seriously
Why not a Templar, it would be, at the very, thematically consistent and less historically ignorant
