About This File

Sometimes I struggle to have anything interesting to say here, and I think, maybe I should just type:

Dengeki PlayStation Vol.115 (August 13/27, 1999)

and leave it at that, just like anyone else would do.  But then I think, nah, I've gotta say SOMETHING, no matter how small or insignificant an observation it might be.  So today, I bring you a line dashed off in one of the Syphon Filter reviews which says something like "The exhilarating feeling of becoming a strong hero like 007...and defeating bad guys is truly American!"

How ya like them apples, UK? 😜

America 2024: "Are we the baddies? No, it must be the other guys."

P.S. This is a joke. Please don't take too seriously.

No worries, I can't even see the relevance?  I was just commenting on how the Japanese reviewer seemed to think that Bond was American.  Which happens here.  Speaks English = American. 

But on the tangential point you brought up, I think you're actually more likely to find an (American) film that portrays the American government as the villains NOW than you would have in the past.  Of course, the point of such a story is typically that the government is corrupt and the protagonist is the one embodying the America it ideally wants to be.  Even Marvel's Captain America spends quite a bit of time on the opposite side of the line from the government in the comics.  But I imagine all countries' self-referential fictions are like that, considering they're populated by individuals and don't share a singular set of values, including those of their elected leaders.

Yeah, I was focused on the "kicking the ass of the bad guys" thing that I completely overlooked that lol.
