The idea that "oh we have man made weapons that can eradicate humanity in under an hour" informs more than a bit of early Cold War media.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

INTERVIEWER: ...so Raiden, in his extremely un-Snake design, further dismantles player expectations and desires, revealing what they believed about what a character should look like was simply ephemeral pining for something that was never real. Was this your intention?

KOJIMA: *blinks* uh. yeah.
