    I also tend toward darker themes.

    The mainstreaming and Disney-fication of “gritty” movies has been absolutely dogshit for the content.

    You can’t make Blade or The Crow anymore. You can barely make The Matrix. You just get a bunch of GrimDark cartoony bullshit.

      I’m dreaming of a Berserk done right. Not that shit they somehow did two seasons of. The Golden Age stuff is really good. I just want post golden age now.

        They do all this build up and the climax of Golden Age really grabs you. Then its just… damn, yeah. More of that high drama / political intrigue / folly of man’s hubris / yearning of the human heart shit. The monster fights are fun, but the real meat of Berserk is that romance and betrayal.
