>>5434362>>5434380A lot of modern sci-fi and fantasy (I am thinking especially of the sterile visual brutalism post-processing lens flare corporate look of Villeneuve, and Nolan etc) has abandoned this punk chaotic feel. Thinking also of the recent AAPL Asimov Foundation argh noooooo cannot unsee or unthink it nooo argh gargh
If you look back to 80s - 90s era warhammer or other fantasy (even the White Wolf Vampire Masquerade stuff, or Wesley Snipes Blade) there was a lot of this sort of unsubtle grotesque comedy often mixed with gore and ultraviolence. I wonder if this trend of subversive satirical fantasy dates back at least to Defoe (he was a spy, agitator) and Swift, maybe even Chaucer?
