Imagine the guy that made the Monster Hunter movie would make an Ark movie.. RIP XD

fervent stag
#

Cause that's also the dude that directed the Resident Evil live-action movies. veggies

#

And what would it even be about?
The animated series is already about the note-survivors.
And if the made a recreation of our characters journey, then unless it wasn't canon, it would honestly minimize our purpose to the story. veggies

hi

west cedar
#

i think ark could pull it off due to its story you just have to have the right actors

Or atleast, I loved Robotnik.

#

The acting was on point.

#

That's why I'm going as him for Halloween.

#

And they always have a shot at redemption in the sequel

then ab and so on and so forth

fervent stag
#

But....they're already doing that with the Animated Series. veggies

west cedar
#

yea ik but there is now harm in doing a live action version?

fair trout
#

They do but 14 episodes a 30 minutes is not much time to deliver the story and they still could make a TV show with at least 4-6 seasons a 10 episodes ^^

fervent stag
#

If they're just remaking the show in live-action, that would be a waste.

fair trout
#

Not if the animated series goes well and they can make even more money with a live action show 🙂

west cedar
#

it could make them alot of money if they do it well

fervent stag
#

But again, what would it even be about?
Like i said. If it's just a remake of the animated series but live-action now, then no, it's gonna be a waste of money and resources.

west cedar
#

it would be the story of ark it may be expensive but if done correctly it would bang and make alot of money

fervent stag
#

That doesn't help at all of telling me what it's about.....

west cedar
#

and a film would bring more people to the franchise

west cedar
fervent stag
#

The story they're already recreating in the animated-series?

west cedar
#

avatar had the animated series and the live action the live action just wasnt done right

fair trout
#

Depends on how they deliver the animated series. I think the series will differ from the explorer notes, as we allready can see in the voice cast and what some of them will voice

west cedar
#

yea

fervent stag
#

The animated series is 'expanding' the notes.

fair trout
#

And a movie could be more true to the notes and expand them and expand the series.

#

Or a TV show so

west cedar
#

the film if done in live action if they go all out can u imagine what a live action ab would look like

fervent stag
#

That's what the animated series literally is. veggies

west cedar
fair trout
#

To be realistic they will have to cut down a lot in the animated series cause it is simply to Short to get everything in.

fervent stag
west cedar

#

And you can still put a series on disk too. veggies

fervent stag

#

And not much people even buy DvD's anymore since you can just stream it.

west cedar
#

that is why movies although more expensive always make more money

fervent stag
#

'not always'

west cedar
#

ok if done well they will

#

avatar didnt cuz it was done horribly

fair trout
#

There would be a lot of possibilities if you do it right and you could get a good real TV show and a animated going if you do it right 🙂

west cedar
fair trout
#

Sure it will be a lot of money but it also could get you a lot cause you reach a lot more people.

fervent stag
#

But again, you keep dodging my question.
What would it even be about?
It can't just be a recreation of what we're already getting in the animated series, since what's the point in watching it if it's literally just the same thing?

fair trout
#

That depends what we will see in the amimated series but no one knows what it exactly will sho until it is released.

west cedar
fervent stag
#

Dollie has already confirmed some stuff.

west cedar
#

not all

fervent stag
#

Yeah, and it's enough.

west cedar
#

can u dm me the link to it i havent seen that

fair trout
#

No we don't, we only know it will be Helenas story.. so it will be mostly out of Helenas view... now make a TV show out of Santiagos View.. it allready will be different cause Helena arrived on abberation way later.

fervent stag
#

It's a recreation of the Explorer-notes, while also expanding onto them and the characters backstories.

fair trout
#

yeah but do you really think they will not tweak and change some stuff ?

west cedar

#

Okay, i'm done with this discussion. veggies

west cedar
#

lmao i win ig

fair trout
#

Lol

#

I also could write my story several times and use different points of view to make it different XD

west cedar
#

you could do a season for every character in the live action one as well

#

if it were to become a series

fair trout
#

That would be actually pretty cool

west cedar
#

yea seeing the different perspectives

#

wild card get on that

fair trout
#

One out of Rockwells perspective would be epic

west cedar

oh yes

I just hope they do the other maps besides the island

#

island will be season one, scorched will be season 2

#

and on

#

wait will we be getting genesis??

#

For a season

velvet temple
#

We dont know

fair trout
#

it is 14 episodes a 30 minutes

grand basin
#

so first series is based on the island? is this confirmed?

#

i'm terrible at not watching videos

fair trout
#

As I understood is that the 14 episodes are all they make, so can't remeber if split in one or two seasons.

grand basin
#

7 ep seasons at 30 min each, seems pushed

velvet temple
#

I thought it was 14 per season

fair trout
#

let me check if I can find something about it

#

"The new show Ark: The Animated Series is based on the gameplay and will involve 14 episodes, each half an hour in length, with an anticipated launch set for some time in 2022. Jay Oliva has been tapped to direct the series while Kendall Deacon Davis and Marguerite Bennett have penned the scripts."

#

That is what I can find about it

#

The also state two seasons but it is not really clear if it is 14 episodes 1 season or 7 episodes each season.

velvet temple
#

7 seems too short but we will see

fair trout
#

yeah feels rushed for me too

grand basin
#

lets hope it ends in such a way people are like OMFG I WANT MORE, and it gets at least a few seasons

spiral jewel
#

Yea

pallid cedar

hol up did ark animated get its first episode yet?

velvet temple

Gareth Coker has had to compose every piece of Ark music, even the Animated Series

yes?

I'm sure their just reusing his music for the animated series not making new ones

Nah he’ll be in it

Said so at the end of the trailer

fair trout

At least as voice actor he will be in it

heavy zephyr
#

I mean I don’t think any of the characters will be doing anything besides voice acting

fair trout
#

You mean the actors ?

heavy zephyr

oh yea. Mix up of words sorry

or badly-deformed humans, i am gonna be hella disappointed if they don't show those at least as an easter egg

#

then again animation errors might count it as an "ARK reference"

green ledge

hi

beach bob reference?

vocal torrent
#

Yes but if it s normal looking character like in the ref, i will be hella sad

velvet shadow
#

It most likely will.

vocal torrent
#

or at least make the gladiator girl small as possible, smaller than the main cast because that's are most PVP players are

meager berry
#

Makes sense, since in pvp you want to make your hitbox as small as possible...

vocal torrent
#

yep

#

since Nerva represent the PVP aspect of the game then why not???

meager berry
#

It would make him less imposing though

#

Which he is supposed to be...

fervent stag
#

Yeaaaaah....no offence, but that's not a good idea at all.

velvet shadow
#

evil_g Midget Warlords. approve_n

vocal torrent
#

not Nerva tho, this character > evil_g

meager berry
#

Yeah

fervent stag
#

Again, not really a good idea. veggies

vocal torrent
#

how so? it's really "based on the gameplay" without it

fervent stag
#

They never said it's going to be 'based on the gameplay' though.

#

And the show is focusing more on narrative and lore then caring for PvP meta's.

vocal torrent
#

issa small reference plus the gladiator girl is not in the original cast (people who wrote the notes)

fervent stag
#

You're right, she's not a protaganist. Though she's still a main-character.

#

Just cause she didn't have any notes, doesn't mean she's not going to be important

vocal torrent
#

more or less minor character than a "main character"

fervent stag
#

But she's not though. veggies

#

She's literally has a main part in the story.

vocal torrent
#

minor characters sometimes made a big impact tho, just sayin

fervent stag
#

That's not what a minor character is. veggies

#

Protagonists: someone or multiple characters that the story revolves around.
Main-Characters: huge narrative impacting characters, though the general story doesn't revolve around them.
Minor-Character: characters that have a minor role and aren't really important to the all around narrative.

vocal torrent
#

the last bit is called a "filler character", minor characters has a limited screen time but still have impactful as a main character

#

i.e. Peppermint Buttler from Adventure Time, that is a minor character

fervent stag
#

Rockwell, Helana, and Mei-Yin would be the 'Protagonists' in this scenario.
Diana and Santiago would be Main-Characters. Still important, but the narrative doesn't revolve around them.

#

Also you are correct, i'll take that since i did google what a 'Minor-Character' is.

#

Though again, i'm pretty sure she's gonna be a main-character, if not on the between of main/minor.

vocal torrent
#

i feel that she isnt, but that's speculation

fervent stag
#

She's Nervas right hand commander, and a good one at that.
Commanders plan out sieges, so she's probably the one who goes with Nerva, or 'is' the person that raids and takes over all of The Island's tribes as the notes states.

vocal torrent
#

it's sums up that she's a minor character (small screen time/big narrative impact)

meager berry
#

Where will we be able to watch the animated series once it comes out?

||hopefully netflix because i cant afford other streaming services||

It's an anime. Not just any animation, it's an anime.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Japanese Dub planned.

Dubs- Language

fervent stag
#

Ah, so dub for them would be Japanese.

velvet shadow
#

Well, they could also make dubs in other languages. I.e Spanish

fervent stag
#

How would this even count as a anime though? veggies

velvet shadow
#

Animation style.

fervent stag
#

Wouldn't this just be a 'Adult Cartoon?'

velvet shadow
#

Not particularly.

#

Rick and Morty would be an Adult Cartoon, but that's because of it's content.

#

To make a show an anime, it needs to have a certain artstyle.

#

And TAS fits that artstyle, though it might also being an Adult Show. I.e, Adult Anime.

#

Though I'd assume they make it more Pg-13 than R.

fervent stag
#

But something even like Avatar doesn't count as a anime. veggies
It doesn't use a particular anime style.

velvet shadow
#

Avatar would count as an anime.

#

As would Dr. Stone, My Hero Academia, certain ADULT animes, etc...

fervent stag
#

Okay, but from what i looked up 'could be wrong' but Avatar is a american cartoon, and made in america, with a cartoon type of artstyle, not a anime type.

#

But those also originated from Japan, and so easily have their artstyle.

velvet shadow
#

Well, this is an American Anime. An anime not created in Japan.

#

We dunno anything about the animators yet though.

#

They may be native Japanese, or they could be American. We sadly dunno yet.

#

Even the internal name for the Animated Raptor Skin includes "Anime Raptor".

fervent stag
#

I thought they said the animators are the same people who did Avatar

velvet shadow
#

Did they now?

fervent stag
#

Let me see

#

But again, if Avatar doesn't count as one in most of the public eye. And 'if' the ARK series is being animated by the same team. Then i would say it's safe to say that it's not a anime.

velvet shadow
vocal torrent
#

tbf most animes and cartoons are mostly outsourced to different countries like Korea, and China

so using "country of origin" to define the animation doesn't matter

#

and there's Studio Ghibli who doesn't want their work to be considered "anime"

such as?

#

isnt china a producer of quite a few animes too?

vocal torrent
#

Yep

west cedar
#

all animated shows made in japan origionaly are animes

vocal torrent
west cedar
#

Anime (Japanese: アニメ, IPA: [aɲime] (About this soundlisten)) is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan

west cedar
vocal torrent
#

If that so then the Remake of ThunderCats (not CN) counts as an anime as well since it was animated in Japan

#

Like i said, country of origin doesnt matter anymore

west cedar
#

originally key word

vocal torrent
#

remember studio ghibli doesnt want to call their work as "anime"

Like i just said, it doesnt matter anymore

Language evolves

#

Majority of anime is outsourced to different countries outside Japan because the production is cheap there

#

You cannot tell because the "anime style" can be replicated to anyone around the world, it is no longer exclusive to japan

west cedar
#

the last airbender for the win!

vocal torrent
#

Also anime style originated from Disney Reinessance Era movies like the Little Mermaid, that is why the old Japanese animation like Astro Boy feel more cartoony so... That's that

It goes full circle

velvet shadow
#

Minecraft Dungeons is the one with the most lore BY FAR

#

Usually it's in the description of items, giving you backstory and stuff like that. I.e, there are lost souls residing in the void from the End.

There is too many content to make a movie unless they only focused on Helena ONLY

#

It's like The Last Airbender movie where you have to select certain episodes, missing out some world building and character dynamics, and make it a movie

velvet temple
#

Show is much better, more time to flesh out characters and more stuff to watch to watch than 1 movie

vocal torrent
#

also it's also the best time to show the lore building on how these ARKs exist and not just a "Jurrassic Park/World Survival Game"

The only other option besides an animated series wold have been a real live TV show but I bet that would have been way to expensive. A movie is way to short.

Idea for structure of the show

#

not sure if this is it but maybe

#

so first 3 would be pretty defcon 5 with new legion rising, helena, mei yin, rockwell, and others getting their bearings
4 would be artifact time with some captain guy time (I forgot his name) for materials
5, 6, and 7 would be defcon 4 time, finding the iron brotherhood, the new legion ruining everything with mei yin's mercenary defense of the painted sharks there, and helena voyaging to the brotherhood to find out that they all got massacred by a spider
8 and 9 could be the trek to the megapithecus arena (preferably with captain guy), and the actual fight itself
10 could be defcon 3 time, with the ambush, and mei yin's way of regaining strength
11 and 12 could be defcon 2 time with the dragon fight and mei yin formulating a plan to break into the tek cave and kill nerva
13 and 14 could be defcon 1 time with the tek cave, overseer fight, the elimination of the new legion, and mei yin almost killing nerva
(also all the ascensions)

fair trout

Yeah it should

#

The fact that nerva is old makes no sense

frosty dove
#

nerva should be much younger

fair trout
#

It is even said he is young for a Centurio ?

frosty dove
#

let me check the notes

fair trout
#

So I would say max is about 30 years, I guess even younger

frosty dove
#

"I am reminded of my first command in Dacia. Many men questioned my rank, wondering why they had to follow a Centurion so young."

"The Roman lifespan for men was 41 years. The entry age for the Roman army was 18-22. So after his 25 years of service, he would been 43-47 years old — provided he had managed to live beyond the average life expectancy."

#

and yet they still made him look older than rockwell who CONSTANTLY mentions himself as being old! hate it here

fair trout
#

Yeah and I was super dissappounted with Rockwells design. It somehow really puts me off he has no beard. He looks more like a bad disney buttler character for me.

He is allready old when he arrives on the Island and there is not that much time he could age so extremly.

no, because it is not made in japan, i'd consider it more like the dc animated movies which seems fitting because the guy directing did some of those

#

Marc Soskin, that name ring a bell? do they have any involvement in the Animated series?

#

You don't just have no comment on your story being adapted into a TV show, and two of your origional characters being played by Vin Diesel and David Tennant. Something's up here.

west cedar
#

is that the old lore writer?

crystal flint
#

then again could just be a contract where they knew something that is going to be in the series and they aren't allowed to say it

west cedar
#

didn't they leave the team?

crystal flint
#

they left after Extinction because their story was done

#

and I understand if they don't want to prolong the game's story

west cedar
#

yeah

#

now that I think about it, genesis seems more like a sidestory than anything

crystal flint
#

but they have made no comment on twitter about the Animated series.

west cedar
#

NDA maybe?

#

or maybe not, don't think that would keep them from talking about it

crystal flint
#

at least expressing excitement, because I doubt they're mad.

grand basin
#

NDA's are a standard thing with games these days

#

and you think it wont stop them talking about it? the fear of losing their job, credibility in the industry and a potential lawsuit? 😉

crystal flint
#

are they at least allowed to say it's cool?

#

Marc watched the Game awards, and he retweeted a meme about it

#

but, related to some other game.

grand basin
#

i wouldnt know, i'm not under any NDA because i'm not wildcard. so i've no idea what it contains ;)

crystal flint
#

He still retweets Art of Mei-yin

#

so he's definitely still allowed to do something related to the game.

#

he's also a fan of the last air bender

#

a series that many of us have stated the animation in TAS appears similar too The_stupid_thinking_emoji_she_ke

#

(This is getting obsessive and stupid)

#

Man I hope he's cool with TAS, I at least want to know if he's happy to see it happen

fair trout
#

Marc still can like his chars and talk about them, even he is not WC anymore. There might be some stuff he is not allowed to talk about but liking art of chars he breathed into live should not be forbidden. That he does not comment on the series or the upcomming game might be so he does not come across unserious or bitter depending on his opinion on it. Sometimes it is better to keep an opinion to yourself.

I think ARK the animated series might be delayed in the future because Wildcard is actually looking to find animators.

Animators for the game, or the series?

Because im guessing its for the game and for this they would just ask a company that does 2-D animation to do it

Wait, is the ark animated series gonna follow the story of ark 1 or 2?

1, at least to start. if you are familiar with ark lore this is clear from the trailer/images

#

Studio Ghibli doesnt want to call their works "anime" so that defeats the definition

#

Plus "anime" is inspired by disney's reinessance era of animation hence the "big eyes, no nose, small mouth" thing so... It goes full circle

#

Nowadays Anime is an art style that is no longer unique to country of origin like everyone in the world can draw anime style now

Obviously Avatar probably took some inspiration from anime and fits the style

so does cartoons yet no one defended that "cartoons are always from america and must be from america even if other nations does it"

#

so... it. doesnt. matter. anymore

west cedar
#

You realize that America has only been around 300 years? Wouldn’t you think Europe or Asia came up with a thought of entertainment similar to begin animation such as cartoons?

vocal torrent
#

and what is it have to do with the definition of anime and cartoons?

west cedar
#

Well I’m just telling you that Americans would not have had the first cartoons

karmic socket
#

technically some of the oldest anime was modeled after foreign cartoons

#

ngl I side with mazzy on this point but madly on others.

#

otherwise, nobody would care about "roman" numerals

#

or "greek" yogurt

#

yea american cartoons do kinda belong to america

#

because it's american, kinda like jazz

#

but at this point nobody is going to stick it to you if you don't credit nations or anything

#

it's been so far diffused throughout that it's essentially become some kind of multicultural public domain.

#

Anime is newish, so it's not totally there, but in a few decades, few are gonna call anime profoundly japanese.

#

similar thing with cartoons.

west cedar
#

And that’s why origins matter-...anime is something made by Japanese hands but does it really mean it’s now American’s styled art?

#

And I’m not saying that anybody would really mention the type of art style it is I’m just saying that anime is Japanese has been from something else we all get ideas from something, and people still question where things come from even from hundreds of years as to certain foods to certain machines or material

simple thorn
#

Every relevant nation today was around when animation was first becoming a thing

west cedar
#

Anime is all hand drawn and based off Japanese, like My Hero Academia. Just because it may be an Animated Cartoon doesn’t mean it’s an Anime it’s just something that’s ANIMATED not an official ANIME. It’s a cartoon with the characters probably made and moved in an app like Blender. Anime is half machine drawn mostly hand drawn

vocal torrent
#

it doesnt make sense, it is still the same process as all form of drawn animation regardless if it's hand drawn or digitized using Harmony, Animate, ETC

it doesn't help that Early Anime design is inspired by Disney Renaissance Era designs

Anime (as a definition) is nothing special

vocal torrent
#

any way i can't wait for the Abridged version with nothing but real ARK game play references, and more Nerva being a toxic AF player, Mei-Yin being legit Furry, Rockwell being Rockwell, and Helena being high key Steve Irwin, and Santiago just Vin Diesel

fair trout
#

I still have hope they don't use Vin Diesels face in the animated series for him, but I fear they do and Santiago beeing just Vin Diesel.. not Santiago from the notes anymore... than they probably better rename him into Riddick, Toretto or Vinnie.

#

It is actually pretty sad that the character Santiago gets reduced to Vin Diesel by so much people now and a reason why I don't like using famous actor faces in games and animated series.

fervent stag
#

So.....you essentially don't like any popular video-game characters. veggies

fair trout
#

When they press the face of an actor on existing chars or if they are hardly designed after an super popular actors, no, I don’t like them.

#

So I don’t mind them voice acting and if they are extremly altered I can bare them but bluntly using themso they are superrecognizable kills my emersion with a game.

Though, it 'is' animation. Which believe it or not, takes less time then live-action CGI movies now-a-days.

i dont want Rockwell to be an element-corrupted villain already in a few episodes, i dont mind having a little filler about his life in the lab with his assistant and their dynamic that makes you question "is Rockwell worth sympathizing or redeeming?" based on his days in the Island as a human and compare it to what he becomes now as a fully corrupted abomination playing god

I don't know if most of these people know the difference between "anime" and "animated/animation" and there are people who have been doing animations of some sort like 2d or 3d or mixed, I myself does 3d animation and a bit of 2d. So, in my eyes, I see ark the animated series not as a anime but just a animated/animation series

#

And for those who are confused, animation showcases motion on screen through display of static images with minimal differences and japanese animation style is called 'Anime' because it focuses heavily on the characters and not imagery

#

i go by what i know about the animation industry in Asia (because i want to be an animator in my counrty), and surprisingly most animes are outsourced the way most cartoons are

fair trout
#

Best stick to it beeing an animated Series with an anime influenced style and WC produces or at least "ordered" the series and they are not an Japanes company so even the outsource factor does not fit here 😉

west cedar
#

By definition, to be anime it just has to originate in japan, its not a style. Despite how people might commonly think of it.
So any outsourcing wouldnt alter where it originates, but the ARK series does not originate in Japan, according to official statements such as above, and so is not an anime.

vocal torrent
# west cedar i just go by official statements here man

anything __air__ed in Japan (local or foreign) is considered "anime" in their local vocabulary because it's a word they defined as "anything animated that shows on TV" regardless of the source of production

plus animation is a foreign concept to them introduced by westerners during/after WW2 so they borrowed the word __anima__tion to make the word "anime"

#

meanwhile here outside Japan, we are still to this day debating where Anime is a Style or some special thing that is exclusive in the country of origin ||eventhough the process is still the same as any form of 2d animation and can be easily replicated by animated studios of any country of origin but i digress||

fervent stag
west cedar
#

Being an international community, many of us are not in Japan, so what is aired there isnt relevant to many of us when defining anime.
In Japan any animated show is anime yes, outside of Japan it is any animated show that originates in Japan.
I find it quite simple tbh.

#

In the end its a made up word like every other word.
So we can just roll with what the creators of this show say about it, and they made it clear 🙂

the only thing i care about will it be a hit to us ARK players or it only catered to the niece side of the playerbase basically "Lore Hunters"

Well, given the fact that the main character is using a bow, she can't be more than level 20. She could've easily tamed different creatures which suggests she is in a developing tribe/solo. She also survived a large fall which suggests she leveled up her health rather than other skills.

the artstyle isnt even remotely anime, in the terms of its style

#

it's a stylised cartoon

vocal torrent
#

cartoons are always stylized calling a "stylized cartoon" kinda redundant

and there are many styles of cartoons as well aside from your usual "CalArts" style or the "60's" style

frosty dove
#

well yeah, that was my point

#

it has its own style and it's not anime

Not necessarily lesbian but she was in a wlw relationship so, lesbian/bi/etc

“oh TWO women?? awooga”

#

like please let the representation exist without non lgbt people being weird about it

amber ember
#

honestly straight women are more into lesbians than guys are

frosty dove
#

i can only hope that it turns out fine

west cedar
#

i feel like you might be straying from the animated show topic a bit more than necessary milkero lol

amber ember
#

oh shit my bad

frosty dove
#

aye it happens

frosty dove
amber ember
#

knew it

frosty dove
#

usually a better term to use than lesbian as a wlw relationship doesn’t necessarily mean lesbian

amber ember
#

oh because bi?

frosty dove
#

yeah, bi/pan, we’re unsure of their actual sexuality

amber ember
#

I'm in a mlm relationship

#

jerboasad me love me

frosty dove
#

loving yourself is better than loving no one!

amber ember
#

I love my ember wyvern that died

#

oh shit yeah off topic sorry

fair trout
#

w/w is in general more accepted than m/m, especially by men but also that could get the series some trouble. Have seen what happend to TloU.

modern bramble
#

Ah yes can’t wait for wlw or mlm in ark animated

vocal torrent
#

i'm sad there is no ace/aro represent in any shows who are more focused to the task at hand or their own personal happiness than being distracted by relationships ||aside from SU||

#

tbh if i were in ARK and miss my partner or my family or my child, i rather finding my way out of here and want to return to my home era with the ones i love

ah ok

I'm not mad about Helena's orientation, just a little disappointed I was incorrect on a personal note hahah.

Then again, I guess it's somewhat hard to showcase ace/aro tendencies in a show in a non-awkward way. The only show I saw that hit well with it was Bojack Horseman and even then. 🤷

#

Still the show looks like it'll be a blast to watch. I can't wait to have another series to binge hahah.

Speak for yourself. Waiting week by week and paying subscription costs just to watch one show of interest would murder me xD.

I don't really care much for theorizing, but I like how Netflix handles their exclusive releases (and most shows in general) in which they post the whole season to watch.

There's still plenty of theorizing to be done in and around the series but at least I can watch the show in one go.

Helena is a lesbian, yeah

Helena likes girls my guy

#

how do you know

#

also why does it matter

#

its a video game

oak brook
west cedar
heavy finch
#

but i still dont know why it matters so much what a animation characters sexuality is

west cedar
#

i suppose it matters because people were asking/discussing it?

#

one of the teaser images features helena with her wife.

heavy finch
#

thats what im talking about

west cedar
#

looks like a flashback to pre-ark days, to establish character etc probably

heavy finch
#

let her do what she wants,if she has a wife shes clearly lesbian so they should stop trying to push all this stuff on her

#

like bruhh

west cedar
#

i expect we will get to see a lot of the characters pre-ark lives in flashbacks

heavy finch
#

i would honestly like that as well

oak brook
#

push what on her?

oak brook
heavy finch
#

they push all these like sexualities and stuff like brounamused_m

#

i mean i understand wanting representation but wanting to change a characters sexuality for your own comfortability is weird

#

especially when you see that she has a literal wife

jolly bane
#

i don't see anyone pushing anything onto anyone here... how'd you even come to that conclusion?

heavy finch
#

onto the character

#

"shes ace"

#

"shes pan"

#

"shes bi"

#

the sexuality has been confirmed so idk why they are going on this tyrade lmao

west cedar
#

It was jsut confirmed, and without a fuss, until you kept on about it lol

#

people werent sure, now they can be, there were a number of possibilities before

mystic cargo
#

i cant wait to see Helena kiss her wife 😋

heavy finch
#

it was confirmed beforehand

#

the picture of her with her wife

slate ice
#

😮

west cedar
#

Yes but as those many people highlighted with their predictions that could mean any of several sexualities, anyways. It is confirmed now and we can accept that without dwelling on peoples prior predictions in a negative way. 🙂

frosty dove
#

And sexuality/gender represenation matters so much because we want to be seen as just as normal as any cisgender (assigned gender at birth) and heterosexual person. It's comforting to know that there is representation in media of other human beings just like me and other LGBTQ+ folks that is presented in a realistic and non-pandering light.

#

Same goes for POC (Person of Colour) characters. It's refreshing to see that Helena is a non-white, LGBT, female main character.

Imagine being this dude megalul

Go to Rust, we don't want you here if you're gonna be bigoted

#

Imagine being so butthurt about people other than you/not about you getting a little bit of attention that you're gonna avoid an entire franchise (which btw was shown as pro lgbt in the very canon of the game already) for it. Go to your rusty safespace, snowflake, no one will miss you here.

vocal torrent
#

So you are not watching because she has a GF?

What a joke indeed

frosty dove
#

Anyways Helena is a lesbian and it couldn't make me happier, thank you for the representation 😊

vocal torrent
#

All the matters to me is character development

frosty dove
#

Same here, but representation is great as well

quasi star
#

Straight guys be like "oh so i can't tap the female character ? Worthless ! scandalous !"

frosty dove
#

Imagine avoiding a game just because it has LGBT characters in it. Snowflake type beat

signal ravine
#

i think the best part is that it doesn't feel forced at all. Helena's lesbian, she just happens to be, people are lesbian which means that sometimes people who get into the arks are lesbian. Not only is it representative, it's dumb for it not to be

vocal torrent
#

I mean you are in a game filled with little girls with manly voices and that's just PVP ARK lmao

Try not to stoop to his level with insults, rise above it 🙂
