[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8266027, member: 6879661"] It’s the lack of nuance that I find disturbing. The fact that they are in love, marry, and in fact kiss repeatedly throughout the film means your criticism is at best over-ridden by later events and at worst deeply out of context. If Benni went around kissing or groping women or men... and they didn’t fall in love it would be a very different thing. If he did, they would be as entitled to play it for laughs as any other character. My issue (and the reason I’m persisting on this line) is that you’re not saying O’Connell is a bad character for not getting consent. You’re saying the film (and by extension the team that made the film) has deep and terrible problems - with all the hyperbole from your previous posts that I won’t quote again. Unlike your posts the video was comedy. Pointing out flaws in the characters for fun... not to raise outrage or disgust. Also the video was one persons opinion, not proof. As I said the video didn’t mention that Evie was working in the Cairo museum, for a highly educated Egyptian Egyptologist that kind of gives the lie to the idea that the only Egyptian characters were fat and greedy or desert warriors. Criticism should itself be seen with a critical eye to debate whether it is fair or not. I can’t speak to [USER=85555]@Bedrockgames[/USER] but I certainly don’t disagree with the majority of changes Wizards make. [/QUOTE]
