I mean personally I’m a bit tired of this super 1 dimensional senior citizen super soldier, so I’m ready for him to become one seriously kick-blam NPC.
I also think it is a serious stretch for you to blame the shortcomings of Infinite on “identity politics.”
I have to agree that I’m disappointed by a teen rating, and lack of blood, and I want a return to the military science fiction we had, but I don’t think that the lack of blood or the newfound diversity of characters have any impact on the narrative.
