Far Cry 5 Controversy

@ 2 minutes Far Cry 5 Controversy

  • The newest entry into the franchise delves into areas we haven’t seen from video games at all and ties into a lot of the real-life issues we are dealing with today; division in our country, Us vs Them mentality, and extremism towards those with differences. How do you feel about the message Far Cry 5 seems to be telling in their game?
  • Far Cry 5 usually has dictators and evil generals from other countries that resonate a very clear “U.S. good, foreigners bad” feeling. This game will have American killing Americans in a way that is not militaristic but simply citizens taking extreme action through cult like actions.
  • Will this positively/negatively affect sales for the title or is this a non-issue?

Captain America is a Hydra Agent and our Thoughts

@43 Minutes Captain America is a Hydra Agent and Our Thoughts

  • For months, we’ve known that Captain America has been secretly acting as a Hydra agent and quietly working to place himself in a position to bring Hydra into power. With the beginning of Marvel’s Secret Empire summer event comic, we see just how far Steve Rogers is willing to go to bring Hydra to power; killing heroes, exiling them, blowing up cities, murdering American civilians and flying Hydra (essentially Nazi flags over the US).
  • Many people have expressed outrage that the character literally utilized as WWII war propaganda would be taken in such a direction, while others feel this is a bold exciting direction to move the First Avengers story.
  • What are your thoughts on how this fits in with Captain America’s legacy?
  • Particularly in films comic characters are becoming darker and moving away from their traditional tropes; Superman, Batman, Transformers, Where do you sit?
