So I just saw the new animated film SPIES IN DISGUISE... and a lot of it made me think of Death Stranding. From the themes of non-violence to some of the character exposition scenes, and even the resolutions to some of the conflicts (I want to be spoiler free here... but one of the biggest moments in DS resolves in more or less the same exact way as in Spies in Disguise... which was hilarious to me, but also interesting/cool).It’s a film about connection and teamwork and defies many of the cliches of the spy thriller genre.... much like Death Stranding does for action video games. Or even how Kojima’s own spy game was a reaction to espionage thrillers, and allowed room for non violent solutions in a world saturated with extreme violence as entertainment.I’m curious if any of you Porters also saw this film and had similar thoughts. My girlfriend, who didn’t play DS but watched me play (and heard me talk about it...) a significant at amount said she was thinking of Death Stranding throughout the whole thing as well!...plus it’s pretty funny. Well worth a watch. Anyway- Did anyone see it? What do you think about all this? Are there any other new films / shows / etc that made you think about Death Stranding?
