Mass Effect: Andromeda/YMMV: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Anvilicious]]:

** While the kett are [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]] and [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped|the Nazis are notorious for good reasons]], some considered the handling of the message to be over the top. In addition to the standard trappings, the kett also had deadly prison camps for undesirables and they - especially the Archon - kept getting saddled with the [[Villain Ball]], as if the writers were trying to make sure people didn't [[Love to Hate]] the kett (also some Nazis were capable of using [[Pragmatic Villainy]] to devastating effect).

** While it's true that religious extremism is dangerous, the game's treatment of religion overall is dubious. [[Token Religious Teammate]] Suvi is portrayed positively, yet is a theist rather than religious. While the angara religion is also treated fairly, it also carries an element of [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]. But it is the villainous kett that the writers saddled with imagery and titles directly ripped from real-life religions, particularly Christianity (the namesakes of the kett characters "Cardinal" and "Primus" are Christian clerical titles), which raises troubling questions. While the Archon doesn't carry the same [[Unfortunate Implication]], some have found his angel imagery in conjunction with his title and story role to be a heavy-handed reference.
