Ha, yes of course. I didn't mean to make it sound like that was the creators' intent, or the only interpretation, or reason etc. It was just a thought that helped me do interpretive work with the conceit.

Why didn't more people make Star Fox 64 style games? That game was fun as hell but they couldn't even recapture it in later Star Fox titles and I can't remember anyone else taking a crack at the formula.

This are extremely bad times for antiherodom imo.

Antiherodom is about working outside/around ~the system~ to do good, modern bureaucratic fake-consenting panopticon society is so deliberately all-encompassing that working outside of it is nigh-on impossible, and its rulers end up congratulating themselves for allowing enough flexibility that people can do things however they want and it still plays towards their goals.

i grew up on star fox 64 and love it more than anything but i found out later in life that the pinnacle of the genre was actually reached at its birth with Space Harrier, which is very close to being a perfect game

I think it was kind of a little too obvious, like hamhanded social commentaries have been using "In the future... the President is a REALITY STAR!" or the like as a cheap way to critique America's shallow commercialism, but it's not supposed to be literal. One revelation of the Trump era is America's decline isn't half as subtle or grandiose as a lot of people subconsciously assumed it'd have to be.

i almost feel like trying to get into what, exactly, an anti-hero is. it's a kind of weird thing to pinpoint when your standard hero rarely operates within societal mores is in the first place

to a certain extent you could even consider any female hero an anti-hero within the context of any patriarchal society

If you help The Little Guy in a way that fucks with The System, including legitimate, non-corrupt members of the police/clergy/business class, you're an anti-hero.

If you're just out for yourself you're a villain.

If you would never hurt a legit cop/priest/legal business owner you're a regular rear end boring hero.
