The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series
Older drawing from 2020.
I was hoping serial would make it irrelevant. But hope is the mother of fools.
There are many characters I don't like:
Starscream - I don't like fake characters.
Scar - I know he has a lot of fans, yet… He is a dictator.
Jack Frost - Not really my type.
Iron Man - I probably get threats for this one.
The Caliente sisters and Pollination Tech#9 Smith from Sims 2 - Yes, I said it.
Yennefer - I only know the games. She is …..
and etc.
But, and it's a big BUT, I respect them. And the fact that I don't like them doesn't mean they're stupid/weak characters. Hey, there are people who don't like Optimus Prime, I feel sorry for them for being born without good taste.
I'm kidding! I'm kidding, I swear!
I believe in the value of their opinions.
It's good that there are characters who have both sides, fans and anti-fans. Because people who are interested in for example writing, They can hear both sides and create something based on them. Awesome. Let's have different opinions, it's great that we don't lock ourselves in boxes.
Unless it's about Abby Anderson. How I hate her. I don't know who wrote the plot of TLoU II, but… phew, I haven't seen such spitting on fans in a long time (and I remind you that in TF 2007 Bee "peed" on a man).
And no, it's not about them killing Joel. The problem is first of all, how, and secondly, how the person who did it ended up.
I remember watching TWD and the worst happened - Lee was dying. I was crying worse than Pewdiepie. And for the next three weeks, just the sight a Zombie brought me to tears.
A similarly bad road in DBH, where Hank dies. It was terribly sad. But The Last of Us II? I don't even know how to describe it. But I know what a desire for revenge it awakened. The whole game I was waiting for this moment, I wanted it to be as satisfying as Watch Dogs. and… those sons of bi^^^es let her go! WTF! The amount of swearing felt goes beyond the vocabulary of the worst pathology.
And I wasn't alone in that. The outrage was enormous, and as often happens in the wake of criticism, defensive walls were erected, under the slogans "sexists" or "phobes of muscular women", part of me was worried that maybe some of the anger was actually caused by her appearance. But you know what? No, because Encanto have Luisa and she's my favorite character.
I want revenge on Abby, and since Naughty Dog won't give it to me, I'll take it myself.
