I see the point Tom, however for me it's just become too much of an annoying
sterriotype.
While I'm quite in favour of characters with more complex personalities, in
films, games or whatever, it seems now that people are wise cracking every
inch of the way, often in situatiosn where it's deeply inappropriate.
For example, in the first resident evil game, there was a trap where if you
picked up a shot gun on a wall of a particular cell, the cieling started
coming down. Barry berton would turn up to rescue jill at the last moment,
pulling her out of the cell before the roof crushed her.
he then said
"wow! I never fancied a jill sandwich" where upon jill gave a tittering
litle laugh and replied "yeah"
Bare in mind this is after seeing all of their friends brutally and bloodily
murdered by wolves and zombies, and after themselves running around a trap
filled mantion.
While I'm not against humour, indeed I laugh myself, it almost seems now
that the gravity of life threatening danger is underplayed for humour. Sinse
myself I have far more respect for a character who struggles against actual
danger and difficulty, and is! affected by their experiences but is able to
overcome them, than some super human who is never bothered by anything, I
find this isn't a tendency I like particularly.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
