I don't think anyone was saying it was a thumbs up lads moment, more that in the context of the narrative journey of the protagonist it makes sense. Of course it's horrible, but Dino was making a small judgement about an entire story based on a tiny fragment of it.mistercrayon wrote:I wonder why people are relating to a nebulous others praise to counter Dino’s disgust? What is the stock of those others?
Is the visual of putting a gun in a kids hand to shoot a dog objectively thumbs up lads? I can see why it’s plausible someone would bounce off it when expecting a moon nazi game.

Also it felt like it was a few people being down on Dino in part because it’s easy to do so at the moment on here (or maybe whatever irritation is spilling) through the vehicle of standing up for a videogame.
I quite like Yankee candles. I had a pear one recently.

The scene is the opening to an entire game and builds to a key moment calling back to it. It's essentially the entire reason behind the main characters chosen path in life.
There is nothing to indicate it's 'fun' or the devs put it in for a laugh, it's presented in an extremely serious way.

Well yeah but I'd never tell someone they're wrong for feeling like they didn't want to continue after seeing the black guy curb stomped. I can get behind the notion that if you watch the whole film, it paints a different picture, but if you want out you want out.
I'd also hope those that want out would appreciate there may be nuance there and the whole film may speak more than they took, but still, I can't dictate how someone feels eh.
