Me and my brother played through "it takes two" together. We had done some pretty immoral things in that game, but we both had to set the controller down for a bit after killing cutie. I think Cutie's death should be number one in darkest video game moments. Not because it was particularly dark, but because they asked the player to do it. They didn't do it in a cutscene or have you just push a single button. They made you rip off the leg and ear before throwing this adorable little elephant off a high shelf all while she's crying and BEGGING you not to kill her.

There are more posts of Cutie than anything else in this thread. Nothing is more pathetic, sad and disturbing than for a person begging for their life.

But my whole point is that, since all that proves worthless and, mainly, since whatever regrets they display at first immediately evaporates because these dicks celebrate Cutie's death (something that they don't regret even after fixing Cutie and apologizing to Rose), it leads to the one view I have: Allegory or not, Cody and May just prove how sociopathic they actually are. They don't have to divorce. They might just be arrested for child neglect.

[@ApetureTestSubject]

With "It Takes Two", do you think that, years later, after they've been turned back to normal, the parents occasionally look at the now repaired Cutie and remember the horrible things they did that day? Because I hope they do. Everything about that situation was messed up, and I hope it freaking haunts them!

[@AmondoDazz]

Watching Cutie die as you tear parts of her body off by force to later cherish it when your daughter starts to cry is one of the most darkest scenes I have ever seen in a game. These parents seriously need help. XD

They got help... from a perverted book who probably got their credentials from an online tutorial Seriously they were the worst. Poor child 😂

Considering they were more worried that they were turned into dolls by their crying child rather than WHY explains why some people should be fired out of a cannon. At a brick wall.

[@neomix3]

@@TimedRevolver I am pretty sure that 99% of people would be more worried by they being turned into dolls, as in the level of danger and problems that is way WAY higher over just trying to figure out why. Lets say you are suddenly droped in the middle of the ocean with a phone that can get you 1 call and 2 options, one is to get help, and the other to find out why you are in the middle of said ocean, what would you chose? You can fix the why once your life is safe, but you cant do anything if you die. Priorities.

[@embisch]

@@neomix3 you see, a phone with an option to get help is a certainty. Tearing a kids beloved toy to bloody pieces, just cause "we are toys because she cried, we might turn back if she cries again" is not... If your example was two options, find out why or possibly (and I can't stress this enough, possibly) get transported back to safety, I'd chose the former over the later.

[@merchantfan]

@@embisch Yeah, especially since parents would have been the ones who had to go rescue that toy and make sure it was with their child for years. If anyone knows how much kids care about their favorite toy, it's their parents.

Myla is one of the few positive characters in the entire game, mining her life away with a song in her heart. Watching that song slowly wither from a simple working song to a song of pure despair as she loses herself to The Radiance is what makes her death much more sad than the Heroic sacrifice of Hornet and Ghost which is bitter sweet since in either instance they knowingly sacrificed everything for the future while Myla was just an innocent bystander.

Cutie's death, on the other hand, is just cruelty for cruelty's sake, all of it performed by two of the most evil parents ever put to fiction who basically commit the torturous, horrific, protracted murder of an innocent little girl who did absolutely nothing wrong to them. No mercy, no conscience, no reason for doing this, and especially no remorse whatsoever, this is a crime that's completely and utterly unforgivable, and it puts Johan Liebert from "Monster" (mind you, one of the, if not THE most evil character to be ever written in fiction) to shame.
