Two guys logically explain why The Boss, a middle-aged war veteran, does not look like a 20-year-old e-girl

Gamers: Well she should look like one anyway

I'm so tired yes-honey-left

It's so fucking stupid, she looks pretty much exactly like the original character but in a photo-realistic style

Holy shit, I somehow missed the most unhinged comment:

[CW: Transphobia]

spoiler

They made the boss look trans and that's a fucking crime.

The chin is different, it looks like a man's chin, the mouth is different, it looks like a man's mouth, more specifically it looks like Chris Chan's mouth, don't believe me, go do an image search. Neither the mouth or the chin or the brow or forehead or zygomatic process feminine in any way in the remake version.

The boss has deep cheek hollows because they changed her maxilla as well, literally everything they did was to make the Boss look like a ******.

Their brains are so fucking cooked

    Gamers: Realism in video games doesn’t matter, unless it’s a black person existing in a medieval setting in which case I suddenly really really care about realism.

      Heaven forbid there be a video game character with some character. I was thinking she could use a little sun damage too.

    It's literally soft vs harsh lighting and PS2 vs PS5 graphics. The new character model literally has the exact same bone structure as the old one. It's just that the harsher lighting on the PS5 makes her features look stronger, and reveals extra detail that the PS5 can render.

    Do gamers even know how lighting works in photography and film?

    The only thing I'd be critical of here is the removal of the yellow colour filter for a blue one, yes it's a stylistic choice and the yellow filter does date the original game to the mid 2000s, and the developers want to avoid their remake looking dated, but it was a big part of how the original game looked.

    I would say that the Boss is supposed to have kind of a motherly or matronly vibe, but of course the gamers have to be super weird and porn-brained about that, too.

      Umm sorry this doesn't look like any of the milfs i've seen in my online videos so if motherly is what they were aiming for they missed the mark.

      There's definitely some sexuality undertones in The Boss vs. Big Boss, especially in that last fight where she's in a skintight sneaking suit half open to show booba. That's definitely intentional, she spends her the entire game in very much "unflattering" but very practical clothing.

      They're basically fuckfighting to the death at the end there.

        It's a kojima production, so it's naturally going to be a bit weird and horny (and oedipal in this case) - just not completely porn brained like the gamers are.

          All Kojima games have their moments of being weirdly horny for little else than fanservice, but they also tend to include moments that are kind of horny with actual message and the whole thing about The Boss is that that's there as much on purpose as EVA is trying to ride some solid snake

    I swear those people have never seen a real woman on their life. They actually think hentai cartoons is the way women supposed to look.

    gamers want everything to be photorealistic

    game devs make women look realistic

    it does not have to be realistic, it's a game

    "So, you'll happily pay $200 for a triple-A game with Atari graphics and not rant about using 0.001% of your recently bought 24Gb GDDR6 graphics card that cost you your kidney, right?"

    Such a bunch of losers, even they don't know what they want. I bet they'd rant about "lack of graphical improvements" if Konami released the PS2 version with PC compatibility patches.

    while you were learning skills and hobbies, or going outside and talking to actual human women, i was jerking off to anime girls and AI generated porn so much that it twisted my brain into gooey mush and now i think a normal looking, quite beautiful middle aged cis woman is too masculine or ugly or whatever and I promise you, I am merely the harbinger of what is to come. You people are not ready for the world we will build. agony-turbo

    Lol. The boss isn't a "femme fatale". I admit they kinda had mixed messages at the end with the boob scar window but its kind of a big part of her design that she's very deliberately not sexualized for the overwhelming majority of the game. The old and new models are actually both conventionally attractive in terms of their physical structure and Kojima has confirmed that a young Charlotte Rampling was the main inspiration for the Boss in terms of her physical appearance...but she's supposed to look like a war vet...not a victorias secret angel.

    Also: I get very "Robin Wright" vibes from the new model...and I dig it.

      Lol. The boss isn't a "femme fatale".

      Gamers have no media literacy. The whole point of Eva was she was an inverse to the boss, SHE was the femme fatale spy with the sex appeal. But like I said in my other post, coomer brains just won't abide a woman being normal.

    theyre doing this for every game that was announced. Perfect Dark and Fable are getting the same treatment. What a bunch or pathetic babies.

    White men are so funny lol. The entire ideology rests on the Madonna whore complex.

    I don’t think even trans people think about other trans people as much as fascists. Like the first thing these people think about when they see someone who is an inch taller than them or an ounce stronger than them is “HOLY FUCK YOURE TRANS!!! MARXISTS STRIKE AGAIN!!”

    I always thought the boss looked like a normal middle aged women in snake eater and like that was a deliberate design choice for obvious reasons since that's her character. She looks fine in the remake, but ofc coomer brains won't be happy unless she's yassified with plastic surgery and giant tits into a bimbo.
