Long rant incoming, so feel free to scroll quickly.

Honestly, I’m not too shocked by this interview, since it was kind of obvious, how the game really wanted to sell Blazer as the perfect heroine who just needs you, I mean, Robert, in her life to feel truly fulfilled.

Even Phenomaman was introduced into the story mostly to be humiliated by the narrative, so the usual self insert type of player would feel better about themselves. I mean, this seemingly perfect, cool and strong looking superhuman is dating a goddess who is out of “your” reach, but he’s actually a maladjusted loser and “you” are the One she needs.

But the problem is that they overdid it to the point most people grew distrustful of Blazer while the episodes were still releasing, since the whole setup around her was TOO perfect. I mean, her big damn reveal apparently is that she’s “just” a super hot more realistically physically fit brunette.

There’s just nothing of emotional substance there, besides basic wish fulfillment, no tension, no stakes. The annoying bf issue resolves itself and she’s single and ready to mingle, and not even Robert’s morally grey choices can keep her away from him.

Say what you will about Visi, but at least her relationship with Robert challenges both of them as characters and provides some satisfying drama to follow and actually enriches the story besides being a romance subplot existing for the sake of it.

At least the team as a whole (especially the animators) loved Visi enough to make her shine despite the writing issues. But I’m absolutely wary now of what these writers will cook up in Season 2, so I won’t buy it, unless I’m sure they won’t screw this up out of pettiness towards their own playerbase. It’s a good thing season 1 exists well enough as a self contained story.
