“sex scenes have no narrative purpose” is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
“what’s the purpose of sex scenes in media??” well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even
yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
you genuinely think that “the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that’s the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I’m talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I’m talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I’m referring to when I’m arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that “well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X? J
shout-out to eugene for the singular use of “gay” in the game, proving to us all that when harry asks kim if hes “part of the homo-sexual underground”, he sounds as weird to kim as he sounds to us
bit long, but i wanted to include the fuckin excellent line “yeah, i bet you are”. its possible that this guy just doesnt know of it, but im calling this evidence. even if it is a real thing, its still canonically weird to say in-universe
i really love the progression of the mega man series. like, the world permanently and drastically changes as you move forward in the timeline, for better or for worse. yes each game has its return to normalcy, but there is no Rock in the x series. the X you meet in mmx is not the same X you meet in zero is not the same X you meet in ZX. And the major changes in the world are fairly linear and make sense: robots → robots with free will → robots resembling humans → robots and humans are indistinguishable. the effects of each series and the characters within are tangible as you move forward; you can’t fully explain how the world is the way it is without traveling back to the very beginning to the classic series. and none of it was planned; the people working on that first game about a funny little blue robot boy had no idea what his legacy was going to be.
and all of this just makes it ten times funnier that the classic series has multiple instances of time travel and aliens that are literally never brought up again.
