Game of Thrones is known for its excessive female nudity and gruesome violence. But we seldom dive deeper than that, to ask how the show polarizes female nakedness as either a presentation of empowerment or shame. On one hand, there is Daenerys Targaryen, wife of Khal Drogo and one of the last Targaryens, who is the central figure in a highly empowering scene at the end of the show’s first season. The silver-haired Queen stands naked before a crowd that’s kowtowing before her. Her dragons, hatched overnight in a blazing fire which she survived, are curled around her body like decorative jewelry. Her upright position visually signifies her power, importance, and influence. Daenerys takes ownership over her body, a clear presentation of empowerment. However, this scene contrasts with the walk of atonement scene in season five. When paired together, these two scenes highlight the dichotomy I’m referring to.
Following the remake announcement of the Max Payne remakes, the internet exploded with ideas of what it could look like.
Just look at Alan Wake 2, it quite literally has the exact same character. This model in This article looks nothing like any rendition of max
I don’t think about what he’s going to look like so much as I wonder as to what he’ll sound like after James Mcaffery passed away suddenly last year. He was the voice of Max Payne and it’s hard for me to imagine Max voiced by anyone else.
Why would they need new voice-overs? I imagine the lines will be the same. It's story is part of the appeal and the delivery of the dialogue, especially during the comic scenes is iconic to me. They may have had the idea to add more lines, but I think the path is clear with him gone now.
It’s a remake. Not a remaster and it combines both games. I’d be willing to bet $100 a lot changes.
Remedy and Rockstar are rolling out the red carpet for the Max Payne remakes on PS5 and Xbox, with similar development costs to Alan Wake 2.
What made Max Payne an amazing experience?
These lot don't even check the grammar 🤣😂 can't even get a article headline correct.
Still weird to me that out of all the games with bullet time and slow motion, Max Payne 1 and 2 are the ONLY ones that render each individual bullet, which IMO really elevates the bullet time effect 👌
Holy cow, couldn’t watch more then a minute with buddy having the mouse sensitivity set to 100 lol
The author is taking the Anita Sarkeesian cherry picking route here, and forgetting the countless scenarios where women aren't being dehumanized.
Oh, and by the way, I think that if a woman looks for and gets a job where she dances naked on a pole, she has dehumanized herself.
