Okay, so you find your girl, and she's a hideous mutant monster. But she's not hostile and you don't have to kill her. Maybe she even begs you to kill her, but you can't do it. Now what? I guess you start out in denial, thinking you can get her to a doctor and... what the fuck is a doctor going to do? This isn't Star Trek, this is the real shit, ain't no one going to be hot again after that. So now you've got a partner who disgusts and repulses you, who you might still love but not possibly in the way you did before, and who you're still inextricably tied to. That's a much more complicated and relatable dilemma than simply having a dead partner who needs to be avenged with bullets. It's a dilemma we're all exactly one horrifying car wreck away from. Has there ever been a female monster who tries to go back to her old lover? A female Swamp Thing, a female Spawn, a female Ben Grimm? They could've been the first! Instead, they just presented a scripted version of Duke Nukem 3D's cocoon chicks. Shiny boring garbage on an engine with really satisfying movement physics. Play Quake 4 instead. |
