@@DrZaius3141 No, the glorification of violence comes from an unreliable narrator. The theme is that you shouldn't use toxic masculinity to combat the alienation of capitalist society. It portrays violence in the same way one might portray heroin: seductive but ultimately REALLY bad.

Maybe it's because we've been given a culture that valorizes violence and acquisition. Maybe the problem is that cautionary tales about dangerous men just don't work. Why would stories about the dangers of wealth and power resonate with normal people who will never have the luxury of experiencing the dangers of wealth and power? Just about every one of these stories failed to convince us that our hero was broken, sad, and cruel, but every one of these games succeeded in giving us what we want: a playable version of the poster."

So in high school I ABSOLUTELY owned Scarface for the Wii, and opening premise aside, it kinda owned. The Wii never got a Grand Theft Auto game of it's own, and this game was a really fun Vice City clone (and my only option, as I only had a Wii). The 80s music and Miami backdrop were really fun, and it has an interesting mechanic where Tony actually will refuse to shoot any civilian. You're only allowed to target police and gang members. Sure, it completely missed the point of it's source material, but as a game, it was a genuinely good time. My friend bought the Godfather game instead, and that game was terrible.

Okay I know this channel is notorious for putting out stuff that starts off really hilarious, and ends up being really meaningful and deep. I never really bought into it too hard, cuz what I saw was good, but not like Earth's shattering I guess? This is the first one that really made me think... And it's funny because I was watching RalphtheMovieMaker reviews Gotti earlier (because I have a sick obsession with how bad that movie is, and although I've not seen it, I've seen enough), and he kind of broke down why people enjoy Mafia / mobster cinema. "It's interesting to watch dark and complex characters", I believe is how he put it. But this video just made me realize, it really is true: probably from as far back as this country existed, we HAVE "valorized violence acquisition". Why WOULD these stories resonate with us "normal people", especially since most of us will never come close to experiencing what these characters do, within the context of our own lives. And most importantly, as Patrick said, the depictions of said characters rarely drive home the fact that these characters are broken, fucked up, psych-jobs of people (with the exception of Rick and Tony Soprano I'd say, hell even Tony Stark for that matter, but that's an entirely different video) that shouldn't be idolized as "Tough guys who TOOK what they want, because it's DOG EAT DOG out there, and if you wanna survive and prosper you basically have to be Kratos (pre-PS4), have no remorse, kill everyone, become so powerful that even Gods can't hurt you, and have orgies whenever the mood strikes. Sympathy, compassion and generosity are seen as week in this country, which is why impressionable poster-buyin young adults gravitate towards what they think they should model their identities after. Masculinity personified, "giving no fucks" about consequences, and being as desirable as possible on a surface level as is physically and monetarily attainable. More cars, boats and homes (and hoes, lol referencez) equal more "respect, power and achievement." The one good thing I took away from this video (in my own mind, I dont think it was implied at all), is that games nowadays (as opposed to the dreaded Licensed Tie-In Game 2000s) seem to try and push more genuine and wholesome messages of morality, even in the AAA space. With the exception of The Last Of Us Part 2 😂🤣 I'm joking please don't send me death threats, it was low hanging fruit.

My favorite part of your character "Forrest Gumping" his way through the Godfather game was when Michael gets hasseled by the police officer the first time. Not content to simply have the same officer harass both Michael and your PC, they have a second, new police officer added to the scene who focuses on your character exclusively while the movie-original one harasses Michael. It reminded me of those, like, old disney cartoons starring dogs... and how if the human faced a bully, that bully would have a big dog that would bully the dog at the same time. I'm... I'm not expressing myself well, here... but it was weirdly adorable to me.

Fun fact(s): the iconic opening scene (in the Godfather) in which Marlon Brandeau monologues for like 5 minutes while petting a cat was partially unintentional. The story goes that Marlon showed up on the day of shooting with a random stray cat he found, and he asked if he could do the scene while petting the cat. Coppola was like "sure," not realizing that the image of a big scary tough guy mob boss sitting back in a cushy chair petting a cat while partially obscured in shadow would become one of the most iconic villain cliches out there. It was mainly known for being copied by a James Bond movie, but I can keep this relevant to video games because the whole "villain with a cat" thing heavily played into the design for Giovanni, the Big Bad of Team Rocket in Pokemon! Though Giovanni has been redesigned several times, his appearance is heavily based on the character of Vito Corleone, hence Giovanni's signature Persian that he always has with him for whatever reason. Personally, I speculate that the name Giovanni was chosen for the English version of the game primarily because it was Italian, and they wanted to embody the "tough guy mob boss vito corleone" vibe. I could literally go on about this for hours but yeah *tl;dr: The Godfather was more important to Pokemon than its own video game adaptation.*

Pat you're the king of hot takes and I respect the hell out of you. These videos are phenomenal and I am so glad that you make them!

The best part of the Reservoir Dogs game is that it somehow kept all the music from the film. Truly made that same driving mission that was copied 30 times bearable.

Not only did Pat effortlessly anticipate the "he's literally me" meme 2 years earlier, he also managed to explain its appeal in a nuanced and non-condescending way while still pointing out the ridiculousness of the whole genre of misunderstood sad bad man movies

It took my until the last 5 seconds of the video to realise that behind Pat is a mirror and not an ironic painting of the banjo and guitar in the same positions they happen to be in
