I just watched the trailer and oh my god the cringe, this is exactly what I've been ranting about with regards to Hollywood. It's not just the deliberate uglification of women it's the millennial hipster look! Why the fuck have they got an obvious mocapped black guy with an afro and hipster glasses playing the giant? Why? They're going to turn everything cartoony and shit in order to fit these fucking hipster stereotypes in.
In their defense, I think that's popular UK comedian Richard Ayoade, not a random character model. Playground Games (or what's left of it) are British.
Ah right, I don't really keep an eye on mainstream comedy in the UK because it's all woke shite and completely unfunny. Now you mention it he does kind of look like that black guy from the office, probably who you're mentioning, even then though, he does not fucking belong in a fantasy universe, at the very least change his hairstyle etc. and make him look like he could pass but this kind of shit pisses me off. They don't even put any effort in and it's cringe.
It's like the prince of persia thing where the guy clearly looks like a black rapper with the dreadlocks it just doesn't fit. They're going to keep doing this and even if the game by some miracle is okay it will be so jarring I won't be able to get over it. It's like how they were constantly trying to pester the Kingdom Come Deliverance devs to put black people in ( So you know this is all completely artificial virtue signalling ) medieval Europe. Event the historians were coming out and going "lol no" because it was a game that was at least attempting to be historically accurate. It's getting more and more obvious now they're just pushing this shit in for the sake of ticking corporate boxes rather than making a game.

millennial hipster look is deliberate uglification.

I like Richard Ayoade and I thought the trailer was legitimately clever. But the hero is such a fugly goblin thing it's an instant turn off.
You're going to have to marry a fugly woman or a black man as a gay protagonist and you won't have any choice in the matter, I'm calling it now.
