And E3 unofficially begins...

[Blight]

I remember we already discussed this before, it was about FFVII Advent Children if I'm not mistaken. You have every right not to like pretty people/characters but that doesn't mean pretty people/characters can't be deep and meaningful. That's like saying blondes are dumb when in fact that's what's dumb. Beautiful people are beautiful by nature, it doesn't stop them from being tough warriors. Being ugly isn't a requirement to be tough, that's just another stereotype.

Yeah, I think we did discuss this before, but guess what, you missed the point back then, just like you miss it now. Are ALL warriors gorgeous beyond comprehension? No, they aren't. So why the hell are all of SE warriors that way? You wanna say I have built a stereotype that pretty people can't fight, but you can't see that when everybody is pretty, THAT ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE! If everyone is pretty, naturally some will know how to fight, and some won't. I just want to know why we ONLY see the pretty battlers. I mean, are pretty people the only ones fit save the world? Is that why they think they are better than everyone else, cause with out them our world would fall into tremendous peril? Am I really the one who has formed a stereotype here?

I just demand some flexibility. It's ridiculous not to. Look at the guy from The Transporter. Not ripped, not terribly handsome, not a full head of hair. But you know what, he's still a badass, and he is strong and fit as hell. (The Men's Health article about him is really good btw).

Geo is right. These characters are designed to be what they are. And they should be designed with a little more heart. Maybe if they had more depth, it wouldn?t even be an issue, but when you stare at something pretty just to realize it is thin and hollow, you feel cheated, and any attachment to that character just slips away.

You're right. And movie companies should start hiring balding men with beer guts for their leading roles cuz you know, it's more realistic. I mean, what are the chances that a real secret agent is going to be as good looking at tom cruise? He should lose his job cuz he's too good looking.

I?m glad that you think there are only highly attractive and less attractive people in this world. It shows you really have a sense of depth as far as your perception of people go. Is there no middle ground? Can we not have an average looking character? One who trains hard, but never attains that ?cut from stone? look? Or maybe a very skilled fencer, with a pretty big nose. I know you are supposed to suspend you disbelief with any sort of fantasy, but you should never have to suspend your creativity.
