Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 12h"Do people even want a remake? Is the source material still very poignant to the world we live in today? Again, *what are we doing by remaking this thing people love*?" The answer should decide whether or not people go forward with a remake or adaptation at all. 000
Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 12hAnd if your response to that is, "Well, I don't want the adaptation to change anything," then congratulations, you have now stumbled onto the more important question of "What are we actually, meaningfully bringing to the table by adapting or remaking this thing?" 100
Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 12h"What's the point of adapting or remaking something if it's just going to be the same exact shit you read/watched/listened to before" is the actual question to ask. 100

Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Black and White had their fair share of story issues (it basically does the "bad guys have a compelling moral argument but then they kill a baby" thing), but they still had plenty of highs, including the final fight w/ Ghetsis. Black 2 and White 2...pretty much only have the final fight w/ Ghetsis. 100
Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Like okay, Ghetsis being so angry that he's not even trying to hide his plans anymore is interesting character development for HIM, but it doesn't actually make the game/story itself compelling. 100
Ben (they/its) @queerfagdyke.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Ngl I've seen a lot of people sing the praises of Black 2 and White 2, but every time I've read the plot it sounds like dog shit. 110
