Edward Fox演过Edward VIII

《多得他》的叠词好可爱

As someone who’s Chinese w/ a degree in social science + (art) history regarding East Asia I’m always super intrigued and interested to how others interpret changes in new titles on older religious texts- but I will ask in particular if you have any personal ties to Buddhism/Taoism/Confucianism (and Chinese culture) when you find yourself interpreting BM:W’s change in allegorical use of Buddhism as contemporary political adherence! BM:W’s religious and soul mechanics follows their previous game without much overt linking between the two.

Overthrowing Gods in East Asian media is a very common trope in videos specifically due to player involvement (contrast to books where you are separate as the audience) and often is used as an allegory for the system/recent events we exist in. In such it does shift a lot from the original text in base but I think it’s not supposed to relay the same allegory due to the time period in which the writers exist! Wukong’s story changing to him still being chained by the principles that envelop life is far more relatable to late-stage capitalist environments viewers and artists exist in- as such he fulfils the contemporary variant of his original role in JTTW!

I think the change in purpose the Buddhist mythos serves in this game is decisive by nature due to inherent bias present in the original text as a religious piece, and such is core to the allegory. However I don’t think BM:W is supposed to relay that allegory, I think it is supposed to branch off on its own as an alternate contemporary extension of the foundation JTTW set out (plus with the 2 DLC’s on the way, there is plenty of time to extend the universe in game to validate a shift in religious purpose compared to the cut 7 chapters planned during development). And such i think attributing it to the CCP can be a bit of a touchy statement (especially if one doesn’t have long standing ties to East Asian culture or Regional religious practice!) and can accidentally play into sinophobic phrasing and attitudes.

Buddhism as a practice and way of life has a very different presence in writers centuries ago compared to now, as well as how we use religion in audience-involved stories. And such I find it an interesting shift regarding a game made with an international and widely multi-religious audience (that isn’t consuming it as a psycho-socio poem compared to a much smaller and more culturally homogenous readerbase. I think the friction caused by thematic changes is more due to how the game relays the physical journey so closely with reusing characters and having to shift them according to the foundational changes- if it was closer to other written “sequels” that created characters connected to the original cast through descending from them etc, the changes wouldn’t grate on completed arcs or how we compare the experience to wukong’s parallel one

No, I do not have any direct personal cultural connection to Buddhism, Daoism, or Confucianism. I live in Asia, though, and beyond my research of JTTW, I do study religion here (with more of an emphasis on folk religion as it pertains to the Great Sage). My negative view of Black Myth: Wukong is colored by my deep love for the original story. In general, I don't like adaptations.

Thank you for your explanation of the game.

Just realized the timing of signing of the Declaration probably overlapped with the AIDS crisis.

There was a new colleague at work today and at her first day she immediately tried to boss me around??? Sorry to all other people named Karen but her name is also Karen.

Bermondsey is what introduced me to the F family/dynasty… I didn’t know about it being the first gay kiss on tv at all at that time because I just randomly chose it to watch, but it was so so so good in script, acting, and its portrait of emotions. I absolutely love how the wife character was written! I think I actually gained the knowledge about the first gay kiss later on ao3.

I often wonder how LF can be so radicalised when his dad’s first big role was in the homoerotic film The Servant. On the posters and in the film it literally says ‘introducing: James F’. And then James continued to act in at least one or two more homoerotic films.

I’ve been wondering for a while but I was happy to find out that Emilia has also played a bi character.

The funniest thing about FF being a nepobaby is that his current on-screen persona—a rotten posh twink with natural chemistry with men— isn't some groundbreaking or original performance or role choice in his family. It's actually a continuation and amplification of what his family did.

His dad, Edward F, starred in the first-ever on-screen gaykiss scene in TV history (Bermondsey 1972). The writer of that scene, John Mortimer, was F's godfather. (btw since Mortimer was also a British barrister, ff once said in early interviews that he wanted to be a lawyer and even interned at a law firm, but found it less thrilling than acting, even when sitting in the same room with murderers.)

His uncle James F became famous for The Servant(1963), where he played a decadent, weak master with a twisted relationship with his butler.

Another uncle, Robert F, was the executive producer of Another Country(1984), starring Rupert Everett and Colin Firth, and also the producer of the play The Judas Kiss, in which ff played Bosie, aka Lord Alfred Douglas.

Maybe all these are just isolated events, all coincidences with no special meaning. But it's just fun to put them all together.

Since I’ve been interested in Thomas More recently, I just realize how many advertisements in tube stations use the word “more”…… Sometimes it’s the only word you’ll notice unless you read the whole thing very carefully

dehumanization，比如蟑螂。以及我真的很讨厌这些词流传出去影响其他地方的人

港台这几年都出现了抵抗大陆流行语入侵的风气，林夕专栏也谈到过，认为没有必要。我个人觉得要做到语言完全不互相影响难度太高，但有时看到一些流传过去的流行语被滥用，我会惋惜它们作为一种捷径可能替代了原本更多样更真诚更本土的表达，或许不太科学但我确实觉得这是一种语言退化
